Founded in 1996 by Brian Thatcher and a group of five CEOs and business owners, Convene was created to meet a vital need. God gave Brian and his partners a passion for successful business leaders that were isolated and lacked the tools, support and relationships they needed to build profitable businesses. At the same time, they helped them integrate their faith with their work to make a great Kingdom impact.
Many employees who come to Nehemiah Manufacturing just need a chance to prove themselves. They may show up with a spotty work history – or no work history – or a record blemished in some way.

For Maggie Tucker, children between the ages of 8 and 13 are not “tweens,” because “tween” implies an in-between space and an unknown.
Magpies Girl is a store specifically for this age range, dedicated to celebrating the special part of childhood that moves young people into adolescence. The franchise exists to connect with people who are in a space in life where society is attempting to push them into “fitting in” or even “conforming.” Magpies Girl uses connection and community to celebrate the age and the individual, letting the customer know that they already fit in not only in this store but in society.

Does aircraft maintenance have anything to do with God’s work? Paul and Betty Abbott and their sons Luke and Aaron believe so. The Abbotts took over operations of Covington Aircraft shortly after Paul’s graduation from LeTourneau University, know that they were just stewards of a company that belonged to God. “We hold every decision we make, concerning any aspect of the company, up to the light of God’s word. We do this because we, as believers in Christ, are responsible for everything put into our hands by our Savior Jesus Christ. We try honestly to fulfill the goals of our heavenly Father through submitting ourselves, and all we have, to Him on a daily basis.” That commitment is demonstrated in four core values: integrity, dependability, affordability, and quality service.
