What an incredible year we’re having at Soul Survivor Outdoor!

From surfing and sporting clays to rock climbing and other outdoor adventures, we’re seeing an extraordinary response from military commands across the nation.

But something even more significant is happening.

Having served in the military for nearly 30 years, I’ve never seen this level of attention to faith, spiritual fitness, and transcendent purpose from senior military leadership.

Military commands are inviting us to engage directly with their service members, giving us the opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a meaningful and personal way.

At many of our programs, 30% or more of participants respond by praying to receive Christ or recommitting their lives to Him. Most of these young men and women are under the age of 30.

As we enter the final quarter of 2026, we’re grateful for all God has accomplished. This is about far more than program numbers. It’s about reaching a generation of young men and women at a formative time in their lives with the truth of the Gospel.

Thank you for your faithful prayers, generosity, and partnership. You’re helping make an eternal difference in the lives of those who serve our nation.

Halfway through 2026 and nearly 900 active duty service members have had the opportunity to participate completely free of charge in our resiliency and spiritual fitness outdoor adventure program.

Recent headlines bring front and center the immense risks and sacrifices service members face each day in their service to our country.

It is only with the support of a grateful nation that we can make a difference in the lives of those who protect and defend our freedoms.

The fourth quarter is off and running, and with over 20 programs scheduled from coast to coast, it looks to be our busiest one yet. The requests keep coming and our team has filled their schedule to capacity through the end of 2025.

From rock climbing and skydiving to whitewater rafting, service members are stepping out of their comfort zones and into a day of authentic connection—discovering faith, identity, and purpose in God’s creation. Each program strengthens the resilience of our nation’s warriors—mind, body, and spirit—equipping them for life and mission readiness.
