About
The Ministry
We place thousands of Bibles in truckers hands each and every year. Our volunteer distributors are made up of truck drivers, churches, truck stops, individuals, and businesses who have a desire to be involved in this mission.
In addition to distributing Bibles, we also provide tools that enable truckers to engage with God’s word and think critically through Scripture. This is accomplished through our podcast and our new Devotionals section where truckers are given free access to multiple sets of devotionals that teach core doctrine and application of the Gospel.
We are also available to represent our ministry in churches who are interested in partnering with us to reach truck drivers and their families for Christ!
Everything we do and stand for in this ministry is connecting the trucking community with the faith community for a better life through the distribution of special edition New American Standard Bibles (NASB).
We know that God’s Spirit and Word has the power to change lives for the better.
Our desire is to focus on individual wellness through discipleship in Christ, relationships with trucking industries, education & resources from a Biblical worldview and connections with churches who can touch the lives of truckers and their families.
With millions of individuals in the trucking industry and their families still needing God’s Word and promise of salvation, we at Highway Connections invite you to connect with us and see God at work!

Brian Jackson
Board Member
I have had a special place in my heart for truckers since I was eight years old. Our neighbor was a longhauler for a UP logging company. It is a tough, lonely occupation. Highway Connections Board Members want to give that trucker, male or female a message of redemption and hope.
