Jonathan Hunter is the associate director of Desert Stream Ministries and also founder of Embracing Life, an outreach of Desert Stream for people with life-defining illnesses. Jonathan's exodus out of homosexuality and long-term survival as an HIV+ man give him considerable experience in addressing issues both of sexual brokenness and life-defining illnesses. The Embracing Life Series, a 14-week healing, discipleship program written by Jonathan is currently being run throughout the world and is notable for helping people break free from effects of the spirit of death. Jonathan's latest book, Breaking Free from the Sprit of Death was published this spring by Desert Stream Press.

Jonathan has done countless radio, television and print interviews, both Christian and secular, since coming on staff in 1985. A few of those include: Dr. James Dobson's Focus on the Family, the 700 Club, Christianity Today and Charisma magazines, the Los Angeles Times and various network TV shows. Jonathan's travels both in the U.S. and abroad focus on equipping the church to impart active, hope-filled ministry.
