Dear Friends,

It is with heavy hearts that we share that our beloved colleague and friend, Denise Cruz, went to be with the Lord after her courageous battle with cancer. For more than 20 years, Denise was an integral part of our team and a true blessing to everyone she worked with.

Her work was more than a job - it was her calling. She was compassionate, deeply loving, and dedicated to serving others with excellence. Many of you experienced firsthand the way she prioritized your needs, always going above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction. Even through her final days, Denise remained committed to her customers, faithfully pouring out her heart and giving her very best.

We take comfort in knowing that she is now at peace with her Savior, and we ask you to please keep her family in your prayers during this time

For those who would like to extend condolences, you may send to our office messages, cards, gifts for the family, or flowers, and we will ensure they receive them. Emails may be sent to [email protected].

Though her absence leaves a deep void, we are grateful for the legacy of compassion, kindness, and faith that she leaves behind. We are encouraged by the words of Scripture: "Well done, good and faithful servant… Enter into the joy of your Lord." (Matthew 25:23)

For over a decade now Missionary Expediters procurement division has handled cargo for Christian and Missionary Alliance. This is a special project where we purchase, warehouse, and consolidate all their personal effects then load them in a container.

We recently shipped a container for families in Senegal, which was unloaded today. This is the true meaning of Serving those who serve Him!

Dear Partners,

We at Missionary Expediters wanted to check-in and remind you that as the calendar year is coming to a close, many shippers will be vying for vessel and air space. If you have shipments planned, please let us know now so we can ensure you get booked in time.

It should also be mentioned that we are so immensely proud to have partnered with you all (or y'all, as we say down in New Orleans) during this uniquely challenging year. So many of you overcame obstacles to packing or distributing your cargoes, and we've seen incredibly innovative solutions that kept your mission work going! Let this be the year we grew stronger in our faith and our adaptability.

As borders and economies around the world have been opening back up, we too are gearing up and ready to take on more of your shipments. We are finding new efficiencies and bringing on new staff to keep offering the service you need to get your life-saving commodities delivered to the most vulnerable.

Thank you for the opportunity to be even a small part of your inspiring projects.

Please stay in touch with your Lead Expediter on your plans to ship now, or in the future, and we will rise to meet and exceed your expectations.

Keep Calm and Ship On!
