Israel/Palestine

Highway Projects has been taking teams to Israel / Palestine for 11 years, and in 2010 we will continue to build on this work, through a range of varied projects.

Israel/Palestine is the central home of the three major world religions; Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Due to the ideological and territorial disputes between these, it is becoming an increasingly difficult place to live, especially for the Christian and Arab populations. Christians now constitute less than 2% of the population, and so it is crucial that those still there are built up, supported, and encouraged, which Highway Projects seeks to do. Likewise, for the Arab population, vast quantities of those living in the West Bank and Gaza are living below the poverty line, and must daily bear the increasing restrictions placed upon them.

Showing love, and demonstrating God’s joy and peace, in the context of this fragile situation, is vitally significant, and underpins all our work in Israel/Palestine.

Applications for the Israel/Palestine teams for 2010 are now open. Application forms are downloadable above. The cost of joining this team is £1150.00 which includes flights, accomodation, internal transfers and most meals.

A fantastic project working closely with local leaders in running a 2 week summer camp for young people. The team will be involved in sports, crafts, swimming and leading sessions. A great opportunity for relationship building with both the young people and leaders.
