In 1955, the Hiway 80 Rescue Mission was established to provide food and shelter and to share the gospel with homeless men in Longview. For over 65 years, God has helped us grow this ministry to include an emergency shelter for women and families in Longview, as well as two campuses in Tyler.

We feature Christ-centered recovery programs and community outreach services. Through the New Creation Discipleship program, we teach people about Christ’s love and commands, arming them with the tools they need to overcome addictions, abusive situations, and many other difficulties they face in life. After completing the 10-month program, services are provided to assist them with achieving self-sufficiency.

Through Case Management, we assist homeless men and women in identifying and overcoming the obstacles that are keeping them in homelessness. Our case management team works with the individuals to create a plan to address those obstacles, secure and budget an income, and locate healthy and appropriate housing.

What started in one small building now spans 4 campuses in Longview and Tyler.
