Having a Prayer Agent

Sometimes when working with teams and individuals in the travel industry, I am reminded that there are other agencies out there which can compete with prices that we offer.  However, I am not certain that there is any competition that can compare with having a PRAYER AGENT vs. just having a Travel Agent for your travel.  I got this email today from a brother in Christ who is on our team at MKI.  I am so excited to be working among a team of individuals who truly CARE about each customer's needs.  Praise GOD for such a testimony!!!  Here is the email from J.D.:

"Thought you would enjoy hearing this little story.  On Wednesday I got a call from someone  I sold a flight to a while ago.  He told me that a friend of his had a brother who was on his death bed in Amsterdam, and wondered if we could get a last minute flight for her to go say goodbye to her brother. 

I found a great fare for her and she left the next morning.  I got a call on Friday afternoon from my original client.  He called to tell me that she had made it to Amsterdam, made it to his bedside, had a wonderful conversation with him, and that he died 4 hours after she arrived at the airport.  He thanked us for having a ministry mindset about our business.  It was a very encouraging conversation that reminded me of why I'm doing this thing!  Thought you'd like to hear it too."

Blessings,

J.D.


You see, these things happen as we wait upon the LORD and prayerfully choose flights for our customers.  I don't know if there is a price tag that can be placed upon something like this. 


I had a customer in a situation that happened around the time of the Ugandan terrorist attack a few weeks ago.  They were in Uganda and the bombings had caused some of the computer systems to be unavailable.  My customer was leaving to come back home but had lost their itinerary!  They contacted me and I was able to get their itinerary to them within a few minutes.  They were SO happy that this worked out for them and they were able to come home safely.  I received a video from them after their trip.  I was literally in tears after I saw this video.  I felt my heart breaking as I saw the beautiful things they were doing in Uganda and how I was able to be a part of this through prayer and being used by the Lord to serve them. 

In fact, I posted their video on our website at http://www.cheapmissionstrips.com where you can view it and see some photos as well.  This was such an encouragement to my heart!


This is truly more than just a business for those of us involved with MKI and Cheap Missions Trips and all that is involved.  This is a ministry and we are truly here to serve the Body of Christ as we prayerfully work as not just TRAVEL Agents, but PRAYER AGENTS for the Lord and for you!!!

Safe Travels!
