Your vacation is already funding someone’s bottom line. Let’s make it fund a missionary, church, or cause you care about instead — at zero extra cost.
Grant Haynes · Founder
The Revelation
Every hotel, cruise line, tour operator, and resort in the world builds a commission into their pricing. It’s been that way for over a century. When you book on Expedia or directly through a cruise line, that commission funds their marketing budget. Either way, you’re paying it.
When you book through Steward Travel, that same commission — built into the exact same price — gets redirected to your church, the missionary you sponsor, or the nonprofit closest to your heart.
Same trip. Same price. Different destination for money that was already leaving your pocket.
That’s the Gratitude Giving Program. And it changes what your vacation means.
About Grant
Steward Travel isn’t a corporate agency that added a giving feature to check a box. It was built around a simple conviction: Christians who care about stewardship deserve a travel advisor who shares that value — and has structured their business to reflect it.
Grant Haynes spent nearly 30 years as a support-based missionary in Oaxaca, Mexico and Clarkston, Georgia. He’s the founder of Global Frontier Missions. He’s watched donors carefully direct their giving, seen how much kingdom work depends on faithful financial stewardship, and spent decades thinking about how Christians use money.
When he became a travel advisor, the Gratitude Giving Program wasn’t a marketing idea. It was the obvious next step.
When you book with Steward Travel, you’re talking to Grant directly — not a call center, not a booking algorithm. Someone who understands your world and has a personal stake in planning a trip you’ll love.
Who We Serve
Christian families who want their travel dollars to reflect their values. Couples celebrating anniversaries and milestones. Empty nesters finally doing the Holy Land trip they’ve talked about for twenty years. Families building memories on cruises and resort vacations. Small groups from churches traveling together. Anyone who’d rather their commission fund a missionary than a marketing budget.
You don’t have to be in ministry to travel with purpose. You just have to care where your money goes.
