Breaking the Barrier Ministries was founded in 2012 as the result of nearly 10 years of international outreach ministry, and as the extension of the ministry of Pastor Russ and Amanda Bowen.
Building bridges across racial, denominational, and cultural barriers to proclaim a message of the hope and love only found in Christ.
Reaching the unreached is the heartbeat of this ministry…
To reach and save the lost, hurt and forgotten. This we believe happens effectively through equipping local leaders, churches and people to share the Gospel with their own community. Resulting in a community of believers reaching in their own cities, workplaces and places of influence.
This happens as we partner with the local people to create, develop and execute plans of action to effectively share the gospel with the community. The goal is not to just plant another church, but rather to enable a community of believers to work together as one unified body of Christ, to share the gospel with the hurting and broken world around us, and to ultimately create disciples of Jesus Christ.
Short term relief and aid for families, ministries, and individuals in need today — including relief aid, Live Love Projects, community development, and medical missions. Meeting immediate needs so lives can move forward into a brighter future.
Introducing ongoing change, teaching, and support into the lives of people we reach, drawing them closer to a relationship with Christ. This includes short-term and long-term missions trips, local crusades, and outreaches.
Providing the necessary resources for a self-sustaining, healthy, encouraging, and interdependent community of Christians.
Long-term plans to create an impact of Christ that changes not only the current generation, but generations to come — building strong families, communities, and local economies.
