At Brannon Industrial Group, we believe in making a meaningful impact, not just in business but in every area of life. Recently, our President, Blake Brannon, and his wife embarked on a mission trip to India with the goal of sharing the gospel. What they experienced went far beyond their expectations, offering profound lessons about faith, focus, and purpose.
The Power of Faithful Devotion
In India, where Christians make up only 2% of the population, the majority practice Hinduism. Blake prepared to share his testimony with those eager to hear the Word of God. However, as he visited churches and villages, he quickly discovered that he was the one learning.
Despite having so little in terms of material possessions, the people worshiped with an undivided focus, expressing a hunger for the Lord that was humbling to witness. Their deep passion for God reminded Blake of how easy it is to take faith for granted amidst the distractions of modern life.
“When was the last time we sat silently, studied His Word, and truly sought Him?” Blake reflects. In the American church, it’s easy to go through the motions. But in India, he saw believers embody Matthew 6:33:
"Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
For these faithful individuals, trust in God outweighed the uncertainty of their daily lives. Their joy and peace came not from possessions but from their unwavering commitment to seek Him first.
A Call to Revival
This eye-opening experience revealed how distractions in our lives often steal focus from what matters most—our relationship with God. It’s a reminder that revival starts with us. A renewed hunger for His Word and the peace that only He provides can transform not only our lives but the communities around us.
Faith in Action at BIG
At BIG, these lessons from India resonate deeply with our mission. We aim to extend our values of community, trust, and faith into every aspect of our work. Whether it’s supporting local organizations, fostering a culture of teamwork, or serving our customers with integrity, we strive to make a difference.
Just as Blake saw the power of intentionality during his mission trip, BIG is committed to bringing that same focus to our efforts here at home. By aligning our actions with our core values, we can help build stronger, more connected communities.
Let’s carry the lessons of devotion and purpose forward, seeking Him first in all we do. Together, we can create a lasting impact for His glory.
