Anchoring Halftime Halftimer Tommy Scott, founder of Anchor Electric, a commercial and industrial contractor in Madison, Tenn., gets a real charge out of helping missionaries. The Halftime Report spoke with the 51-year-old entrepreneur about how he uses his full-time job as a conduit for Kingdom building. Tommy, what's the genesis of your company's name? Anchor Electric was derived from the concept of being anchored in Jesus. My wife, Becky, and I believe everyone needs to be anchored in the Lord and in what they are supposed to do for the Lord. Work and ministry should link.

A missionary and a pastor pause during the loading of a container which will be shipped to a third world country.

As a Halftimer, how have you linked the two?

In the electrical business, you use a conduit to put wire through. For years, Becky and I have prayed, "Lord, help us to be conduits that connect surplus goods in the United States with missionaries around the world who can use them." We simply try to take as much of the income of Anchor Electric as we can and pour it back into missions, whether it's sending containers filled with supplies or going on missions trips ourselves.

When you say "containers," you think big, right?

Huge -- 40-feet-long, 8-feet-high. They contain everything from humanitarian aid supplies to clothing, food, medicine and furniture for missionaries. It's high-quality stuff; we don't ship junk. In fact, we partner with great organizations like Unifirst Corporation, an industrial uniform supplier. Often they'll send us 200 cases of uniforms in a week - brand new uniforms. For someone in a third world country, these uniforms are a Godsend, cherished "church clothes."
