Meet one of PREPARE Magazine’s Valued Core Contributors: Jason Hunt
When we say that at PREPARE Magazine our contributors have a heart to help others prepare…we really do mean it! We hope you will get to know this particular core contributor in greater depth. What he has established for years prior to being a part of PREPARE Magazine speaks volumes to his commitment to serving others along this journey of preparing in Peace vs. fear.

Jason Hunt founded Hunt Survival, Inc./ KY River Bushcraft as an outreach and training center for people called to prepare for the gospel ministry that have a desire to get back to basics. His vision was equipping small groups of men and women that would venture out to take the gospel to diverse areas outside of the institutional church setting; more specifically in an outdoor or wilderness environment just as the early church did in its humble beginnings. Jason was commissioned a Kentucky Colonel by Governor Steve Beshear for service to the Commonwealth where he’s worked as a pastor and missional church planter for over a decade. He was ordained by the late Apostles Charles & Frances Hunter. Jason holds both Bachelor and Master degrees in Ministry respectively with a Doctorate in Theology.

Their first class sessions were held at Dwelling Place Ministries which still serves the downtown community of New Albany. With an office now located in Floyds Knobs and training sites throughout Southern Indiana, FCU continues its commission of equipping God’s Generals to reform the nations with the power of the Gospel of the Messiah Jesus. With students from all 50 states and over a dozen other nations Frontier has been met with a wide variety of acceptance and recognition. FCU is equipping believers to make a difference in their communities for God’s kingdom.
Jason has been training in the martial arts for almost thirty years and was inducted into the 2001 U.S. Martial Arts Hall of Fame. He has black belt ranks in Ju Jitsu, Hapkido, Arnis, Krav Maga and Kapap.
