Branden Kunath, U.S. Marine Corps Veteran; National Programs Director, Mighty Oaks Warrior Programs

“Outstanding organization dedicated to mentoring and leading men and women service members actively serving. The leadership within SSO stands in the gap providing a comfortable and safe environment to discuss faith and military life and the challenges that come with that. SSO offers a place to challenge the body and mind through recreational activities while strengthening the military service members spirit through Christian faith.”

Petty Officer Third Class Sam Goodwin, U.S. Navy Corpsman

“This experience was so well done that I’m absolutely going to make it a priority to get my junior sailors involved. They deserve to experience something like this—a program that supports them as whole individuals. This organization needs to be around for many years, long after Rick has passed the torch. I can’t wait to see it grow and reach even more service members.”

PFC Michael Hornsby, U.S. Marine Corps Reserves

“Soul Survivor Outdoor holds a near and dear place to my wife and I’s heart. We love what they do for Marines in caring for their mind, their body, and their soul. There are few ministries out there, engaging Marines to the level that SSO does. . .  As someone who has been at the receiving end of one of their events, it was life changing.”

CW3 Dustin Stephenson, U.S. Army

“Soul Survivor Outdoors is a fantastic organization supporting service members. The foundation in Christianity and reliance on spiritual fitness provides an excellent experience for an organization. SSO provided a skydiving experience and meaningful discussion. One of the best faith based retreats I have attended in my military career!! Thank you SSO!!”
