After losing his father, almost losing his daughter in a car accident, and then having his manufacturing plant nearly burn down—all in the same year—John had a feeling God was trying to tell him something. So he began to take his faith more seriously and applying Biblical principles to his business. This included everything from money and resource management to business ethics and employee and customer relations. John puts the needs of his employees and customers before himself. “Focus on these things,” John says, “and the bottom line will take care of itself.” Since inheriting the business in the 1930s, John has grown the company from 12 employees and $1 million in sales, to three companies, 600 employees, and $100 million in sales.
If you are tired of running things on your own and would like Jesus to assume a greater role in your life, we encourage you to pray the following prayer:
Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me be the person You want me to be. Amen.
Saying this prayer is the first step towards a personal relationship with Jesus. We would love to pray for you and send you further information.
