The island of Crete where Titus was left by Paul to lead the church was inhabited by natives of the island and Jews who did not know the truth of Jesus Christ (Titus 1:12-14). Paul felt it to be his responsibility to follow through with Titus to instruct and encourage him in developing leaders within the church at Crete.
kisiwa cha Krete ambapo Tito aliachwa na Paulo kuongoza kanisa kilikaliwa na wenyeji wa kisiwa na Wayahudi ambao hawakujua ukweli wa Yesu Kristo (Tito 1: 12-14). Paulo alihisi kuwa ni wajibu wake kufuatilia kupitia kwa Tito kumwelekeza na kumtia moyo katika kuendeleza viongozi ndani ya kanisa la Krete.
