Big Meaning, Inc. is a
privately held corporation in Kansas. It started as Midwest Acceptance in
1992, which was formed with the intent of making a profit and then giving
the money away.
Big Meaning, Inc. continues the heritage of investing its profit into
Christ-centered ministry efforts in the United States and abroad. In 2008,
about 30% of the profits from business operations were given to help
organizations that restore hope, feed the hungry, support troubled
marriages, help suicidal youth and meet the needs of the sick. The common
thread in all of these efforts is that those who perform them are respected
Christian men and women and that the tasks are done in the name and for the
sake of Jesus.
Recently, Big Meaning, Inc. expanded its reach by partnering with indigenous
African national leadership to promote Making It Count by financing and
supporting seminars and trainings in an attempt to promote the book as well
as to change the business and social environment in the Central African
Republic.
Big Meaning, Inc.
operates in two sectors:
The first sector is
the Information Technology sector. Since 1984, the president and founder of
Big Meaning, Inc. has worked in the computer services and support industry.
Bryan Hurlbut and his staff supply engineering, management, support, custom
programming and training to existing businesses through out their home
office region. This embrace of technology is expanding to the SMS market
where clients will better be able to communicate to their constituents and
patrons.
The second area is
that of training, education and challenge in the church and the workplace.
In May of 2008, Big Meaning released the book Making It Count to the public.
The intent of the book is to challenge its reader to alter his or her
mindset and to return to a value that holds others as not only better than
themselves but as valuable assets that can be squandered and lost. This
portion of Big Meaning, Inc. desires to see change in every person's core
makeup both in the United States and overseas.
Big Meaning, Inc. is a
for profit corporation.
