In the demanding field of emergency preparedness, TRI distinguishes itself not only through its quality first aid kits but through a deeply rooted faith in God and a fervent commitment to mission work, a commitment that starts each day in our unique morning circle. For me, having been blessed to be part of the TRI family for almost five years now, this daily gathering isn’t just a routine; it’s the very pulse of our shared purpose, and it began with a moment that touched my heart deeply.
My initial days at TRI are etched in my memory with a feeling of profound warmth, especially my very first morning circle. Stepping into that circle, I was immediately embraced by a sense of genuine community and something more – a palpable joy in shared faith. And then, in a moment I still cherish, I experienced the very essence of TRI’s spirit: George blessed me with a prayer. It was a simple act, yet it resonated with such love and sincerity that it instantly made me feel like I belonged, like I had found a place where faith wasn’t just a belief, but a shared experience.
The fact that participation in the morning circle isn’t compulsory speaks volumes about the beautiful culture we’ve cultivated. Those of us who gather each morning do so willingly, drawn by the joy of connecting with God and each other before the day’s demands take hold. Despite challenges that have come our way, our faith has been the unwavering anchor, guiding us with a shared trust in God’s wisdom. This deep-seated belief is a cornerstone of our company, reflected even in our employee manual, which respects the voluntary nature of this precious time.
A central figure in nurturing this joyful spiritual environment is George. His presence in the circle is a beacon, drawing people in with the warmth of his faith. We look up to him not just as a leader, but as a brother in Christ, his unwavering devotion a constant source of inspiration. When George shares the word of God, it’s with a heartfelt sincerity that ignites our own spirits and reminds us of the profound purpose that unites us. Every time I join the morning circle, a feeling of pure joy washes over me, a feeling of being surrounded by so much hope, all rooted in our shared faith.
What’s truly remarkable is that this moment of connection happens right in our production warehouse, amidst the tools and tasks of our work. For those precious 15 to 20 minutes, the very space where we craft our first aid supplies transforms into a sanctuary, filled with shared prayers and uplifting messages.
It’s a unique joy to know that even as we prepare to meet the physical needs of others, we first nourish our own spirits together.
More than just a devotional, the morning circle fosters a deep and abiding unity. It’s a time when the lines between departments fade away, and we connect as one family, bound by our shared faith and a common purpose that extends far beyond our daily tasks. This daily interaction fills our hearts with a joyful sense of belonging and strengthens the collaborative spirit that defines TRI.
Our foundation lies in the joyful embrace of Matthew 6:33: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” This isn’t just a verse we quote; it’s a living principle that infuses our work with profound meaning.
We understand, with a deep and shared joy, that our efforts reach far beyond these walls, touching lives in mission fields around the world. The very products we create become instruments of hope, supporting the poor, feeding the hungry, and offering the gift of education. This understanding fills our work with a joy that transcends mere production.
The beautiful impact of our morning circle resonates in the personal transformations we have witnessed and is continuing to. There’s a collective joy in seeing our colleagues grow in their faith, experience healing, and find the courage to share their testimonies. It is indeed a privilege to witness the tangible ways God’s love touches our TRI family.
While our team may evolve over time, those who have been part of our morning circle carry a special joy within them. They leave with a deeper understanding of faith, a stronger connection to God, and a heart filled with gratitude. They know that the spirit of the church resides not just in a building, but in the hearts of those who share a love for Jesus.
The morning circle, for us, is the joyful realization that consistent communication with God strengthens not only our individual walks of faith but also the bonds we share with each other, creating a network of support and love that mirrors the cross. It is the joyful heartbeat of TRI.
Ultimately, the morning circle isn’t just a component of TRI’s success; it is, in fact, the recipe for our prosperity and the deeply fulfilling work we do. It is the daily wellspring of our shared faith and the joyful engine driving our mission-oriented heart. And for me, it all began with a simple, heartfelt prayer that welcomed me into this extraordinary family, a family bound by faith, purpose, and an abundance of hope.
