Immediately when I learned today of Dave's passing, a lump [formed] in my throat and tears welled up in my eyes as I'll miss my older brother in Christ. I recall the first time I met Dave briefly one-on-one when he spoke at a Calvary Chapel church in San Diego. I knew I was in the presence of a grand apologist for Jesus and His Church on earth. Years later, when my wife and I had moved from Southern California to Bend, OR, we were pleasantly surprised to not only learn that The Berean Call was headquartered in this small Central Oregon city, but we fellowshipped in the same small Bible-teaching church. Sitting in a service with Dave and Ruth was indeed a blessing because Dave would always have the right answer or question to ask... or add wisdom and clarity to a message. We will miss Dave Hunt very much. And, we pray for Ruth and the rest of the family and friends as we share in their grief and loss of a truly great man.
