January 2010 marks Ministry Travel’s 10 year anniversary. When I started the company in 2000, I asked God to give me a key verse, one I could build the company on. He gave me two. Matthew 9:37, from which we chose our original name of “Harvest International Travel.” “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the workers are few…ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest field.” He also gave me a customer service verse in Philippians 2:3 “Let each esteem others better than themselves.”
A lot has changed in the travel industry in the last decade. Fuel surcharges. Security regulations. Baggage allowances. Baggage fees. Carry on regulations. Ticket rules. Group guidelines. Airlines come. Airlines go. Even our name has officially changed to “Ministry Travel.” The list of what HASN’T changed very well might be shorter than the list of what has in this industry. However, the two things that have remained constant in the last 10 years is Ministry Travel’s commitment to the Great Commission and to you, our clients. Thank you for allowing us to do this. Thank you for choosing us. In a time when travel agencies are going out of business at an alarming rate, we know how blessed we are to work with people like you.
Happy Anniversary, Ministry Travel! The best is yet to come!
