Just like Timothy evangelized Paul. (Confused? For an explanation, check out John Byron's historically focused exegesis over at The Biblical World, always an interesting and informative blog.)
Timothy, no doubt, had also been busily evangelizing the Christians in Thessalonica. It always does my heart good to think about those First Thessalonians, exploring their new life together. I wish we all could be half so lucky, today!
