Our History
City Express Travel was born out of a desire to serve the missions field. Before the company came to be, Andy Kumar (Founder & CEO) had been a young Hindu man living in India. A team of missionaries from Operation Mobilization came to his small village in India and shared the amazing story of Christ and the power of His love. Fast forward to over 30+ years later and Andy is fulfilling the Lord’s calling by helping churches, schools, and missionaries organize airfare and to go “serve the nations.”
Our Mission
For over 30+ years City Express Travel has been helping book airfare and send thousands of people all across the globe to serve. From short-term mission trips, to long-term mission trips we have partnered with the mission community to share the love of Christ to those who have never heard it. Through years of partnering with church pastors, lay people, and mission teams we have learned what your needs are, and use our extensive knowledge of the travel industry to book your unique trips. As the industry has shifted, we have become a pioneer in developing mission travel programs. It is that experience in Group travel and Individual travel that has allowed us to serve to such a large community.
Our Values
Matthew 28: 19-20 says “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to do all the things I have told you. And I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” We believe that lives can be eternally transformed by a mission trip. The simplest act of kindness and compassion change of someone’s life forever. As believers, our calling is to share the light in a dark world, and what better way to do that than serve is missions. Whether we serve in our own backyard or travel to the ends of earth, the power Christ can give us to bring hope to this world goes beyond words.
