As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving here in the U.S., we reflect on the many things that we are thankful for, as individuals and as a company. Ministry Travel is completing its 11th year of service to the non-profit and missions community and we have much to give thanks.
Thank you, our clients, for allowing us to partner with you in the work that you have done around the world. Over these eleven years we have helped our clients get to just about every corner on the planet and the stories you have shared with us have been incredible.
Although we have served tens of thousands of travelers, we are thankful that we have been able to connect on a personal level with so many. You’ve let us laugh with you, pray with you, and in difficult times, even cry with you. You have shared the highs and lows of your life with us.
We have enjoyed, for example, helping parents as they traveled for international adoptions. When we get that email or call that says “We’ve got our child and the adoption is final,” it brings a smile to our faces and fills our heart with joy knowing that we had a small part in helping bring a family together.
We also appreciate that you turned to us in difficult times—like when a family member abroad was sick or had passed away and you needed to get there quickly.
It has been a privilege to come alongside both the veteran ministry traveler to help them be better stewards of their resources, as well as the rookie mission team leader who needed help sorting through the complexities of international travel.
Over the years your pictures, newsletters and notes of appreciation have adorned our office walls as constant reminders that what we do is about more than selling a ticket. It is about changing lives for the good and impacting eternity.
So this Thanksgiving we think of you and all that you do to make this world a better place. We are thankful that in a small way we get to share in this great work of yours.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Ministry Travel!
