Origins and Aims

Highway Projects was set up in 1997 as a response
to invitations from the Church in the Middle East
to involve Christians in practical mission work. The
focus of its work is amongst disadvantaged people
from across the religious divide, especially within
the Arab community.

This relational mission work responds to the Biblical
call to be sharers on Christ's behalf in the ministry of
reconciliation, (2 Corinthians 5:18-20) and in the
practical sharing of God's love (James 2:14-17). We
believe we are called to ‘be there’ in the region
amongst people in need of physical, emotional and
especially spiritual refreshment (Isaiah 35) and to
‘act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God’
(Micah 6:8).

Highway Projects forms an integral part of the Highway Trust which was set up to encourage Christian outreach in the UK and overseas.

Highway Projects works closely with The Diocese of Jerusalem and the Middle East and The Diocese of Egypt and the North Africa. It is a member of Global Connections which seeks to ensure good practice in mission work and of the 'Rediscovering Palestine' network. All our trips are arranged through Key Travel who are ABTA and ATOL protected.
