The Reverend Asa Hunt, III Lecture Series draws from the fields of spirituality, arts, sciences, and medicine to provide renewal and education for those who followed Jesus Christs’ commission, “I was sick and you visited me.” As a Pastor and Chaplain who deeply loved God and God’s people hallmarks of Asa’s ministry included counseling, mentoring new Pastors and motivating hundreds of volunteers and service ministries. As a consummate complement to his work, Asa and his wife Annette often counseled and taught together. Asa will always be deeply loved by his children and innumerable others whom he brought into the security of Christ’s saving grace.

The lecture series is presented during POP Shines at Christmastime where POP honors its Spiritual Care Volunteers and the beautiful ways God has worked through them during their time with patients and caregivers in the hospitals throughout the year. Churches, organizations, POP staff and board, and Spiritual Care Volunteers gather in fellowship to celebrate the ministry and grow closer in POP’s long-established community.
