“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6

At Newby Management’s corporate office, the work day begins with prayer. At 8:30 everyone gathers together to bring prayer requests for themselves, loved ones, team members and the company. It’s a time for team members to lift each other up in prayer.

In doing this, the company has created a culture where team members feel confident in sharing their struggles. Rather than feeling alone in their problems, everyone knows they have a work family surrounding them, supporting them and caring for them.

Prayers aren’t just lifted up in the morning though. If team members in the corporate office or the field are experiencing something major, the team will stop what they are doing and meet together to pray. It isn’t uncommon to find the team gathered in the hall praying for someone.

This culture is about more than prayer. It’s about an entire company taking the time to put people first, it’s about feeling safe in the workplace, it’s about knowing that God is bigger than our problems. Whether it’s family trouble, illness or problems at work, our team members feel comfortable bringing them to the table.

When it’s something that a team member might not feel comfortable sharing at the time, they ask for unspoken prayers. These unspoken prayers are something we’ve all dealt with from time to time. They are the things we aren’t ready share or don’t know how to. When those come up we lift them up to God too. We know he hears even the prayers we aren’t ready to speak yet.

It’s not common to hear of a company that starts each day with prayer. At Newby Management it’s acts like this that make it such a great place to work. From prayer and Bible studies at staff meetings to the corporate chaplain and Bible program, it all contributes to a workplace that loves God and people.
