A Special Note From Ruth Hunt (Dave Hunt’s Wife)

Dave and Ruth Hunt

LTRP Note: As many of you know, berean defender of the faith, Dave Hunt, went home to be with the Lord earlier this year. The note below is from The Berean Call website from Dave’s wife, Ruth. While we have never personally met Ruth, we carry her excellent book, East Wind and are grateful for this work. And as the apostle Paul says, in referring to the believer in Christ, “Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:  (for we walk by faith, not by sight:)  we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 5: 6-8)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of you for your dear cards and letters and prayers. They have meant so very much to me. I hope that you will understand that I am no longer able to respond individually, but please know that every note has been read and is cherished. I am truly blessed to have so many dear friends.

I must now share with you that my doctors have declared me terminally ill and have given me approximately four months to live. I am not in any pain and am being well cared for by family, friends, and caregivers.

I truly look forward to this glorious transition and the fact that I will soon be with my beloved Savior and with Dave and others who have gone on before me. The Lord was so kind to me in answering my prayer, which was that He would allow me to stay well enough to care for my dear David until he went home to be with Him. I was blessed to be there, holding his hand, as he drew his last breath, and I knew that he was with Jesus! How kind of God to have given me that privilege.

I thank each one of you for the many, many years of loving fellowship that we have shared, and I pray that you will be comforted by the fact that I am perfectly at peace. I look forward with much joy to our grand reunion in heaven one day soon! “What a day, glorious day, that will be!”

Affectionately yours,

Ruth Hunt
