Welcome to the Boundary Breakers website.

Boundary Breakers is a ministry with a goal to reach out to all people with the true gospel of Jesus Christ.Boundary Breakers offers a message of hope and freedom in Christ to all people, regardless of the challenges, or the severity of their personal situation. We seek to help people to become free from boundaries that prevent them from knowing the saving grace of Christ and living a more victorious life.
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound." -- Isaiah 61:1,2
Boundary Breakers is a Christian non-profit organization. We reach people for Christ through church services, speaking to the youth in the juvenile detention system, and ministering in the adult prison system. We also participate in the distribution of clothing, bedding, and other essential items to the local homeless population.
MICKEY RHODES, PASTOR OF BOUNDARY BREAKERS
A man who feels no handicaps himself, Mickey best represents the passion behind the ministry. He not only preaches the idea of "the only limitations are the ones we put on ourselves," he lives it daily. Confined to a wheelchair and having physical restrictions, Mickey uses God as his wrecking ball to tear down the boundaries the world has put on him. Being an inspiration to many, he accepts his challenge head-on and shines the glory toward God.
At eight years old, Mickey sensed the call of ministry. He felt "the Lord could use me just how I am" and began striving for his goal. After graduating high school he began Berean Bible College. He was ordained at Good Friends Fellowship on February 18, 2001 by Pastor Ron Hembree in Goodyear, Arizona. Mickey started Boundary Breakers Ministry in Phoenix, Arizona with the goal of preaching the good news in his hometown and in time, to the world.
Mickey's ability to let go of himself and embrace God allows him to preach in difficult areas, such as prisons, with great results. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio presented Mickey with the title of Special Deputy along with a badge. This honor, which very few people hold, was given to Mickey due to the number of lives he has changed through the gospel during his visits to the prisons.
Every day, Mickey echoes the convictions of his ministry and works with others to accomplish the ultimate goal of the ministry - to reach out to all people with the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
Kimberly Carlson is Mickey's Personal Assistant in the operation and management of Boundary Breakers.
John Williams is Prison Ministry Director and Outreach Coordinator for Athletes International Ministries. Boundary Breakers has partnered alongside with this ministry to more efficiently minister to the prisons.
