Stretching over a mile in Pella, Iowa, Vermeer’s manufacturing plant builds farm equipment for people around the world. With over 2,500 people working on “the Vermeer Mile,” the company’s leadership decided to create a chaplaincy program to help their employees. Mary Vermeer Andringa, chair of the board of the Vermeer Corporation and a Fuller trustee, along with Vermeer’s three full-time chaplains, reflect on the early days of the program, the intersection of faith and work, and this important “ministry of presence.”
The Vermeer team was interviewed by Scott Cormode, Hugh De Pree Professor of Leadership Development.
