Janet Hunter

Pastor of The Oasis Church of the Holy Spirit, Reverend Hunter says, "their goal is souls for Jesus." Leading thousands to the saving knowledge of Christ each year in her hospice chaplaincy, she also pastors the church located at 13013 Canterbury Rd, Spring Branch, TX 78070. In addition to people finding the Lord, her prayer team has witnessed many healings both physically and emotionally, taught many their own spiritual gifts and how to use them for the Lord, counseled many individuals, families, married couples and even pastors. Her biggest gift is evangelism and she also has developed a great teaching ministry from her experience in teaching college students.  Her lessons are easily understood and applicable to everyday life. Her ministry tithes to other ministries that are reaching people for Christ, orphanages, women’s shelters, safe havens for children in the slave trade overseas, local food banks, hospice benevolences, Disable American Veterans,  and local ministries for the needy in the community.

As a hospice chaplain for twelve years Rev. Hunter has overseen over 4000 deaths. She has firsthand information about the heavenly realm that her patients see and describe to her. The audiences hang on every word as she shares her patients’ experiences and death is no longer a mystery or fearful to the listener. She has officiated over 1000 funerals to date and is known at the bedsides most for the old hymns she sings acapella which gives her patients the peace they need to let go and walk into heaven. She is asked to speak on death, dying and bereavement in churches, nursing homes, community organizations, memorial services, Stephens’ groups and retreats. She left her 20 year executive position in the computer industry to serve her Lord full-time as a hospice chaplain. Rev. Hunter was assistant pastor at a local church for several years where she taught children, teens and adult classes. At that time she designed the ‘Hey Teenager Need a Friend?" program. She and her family presented this common sense program in many churches and high schools in and around the San Antonio area. As a certified faith based counselor and ordained minister, she works with individuals with their counseling needs. With a passion for officiating weddings, she can hold them at any location, backyards, rivers, beaches, cruises, anywhere the bride and groom request. This is her "breath of fresh air". She has attended many healing schools, glory schools, and deliverance classes featuring some of the most anointed speakers and ministers in the nation. In the Oasis Church services, the Holy Spirit is given the floor to move in mighty ways without religious restrictions. She feels this is the course God is leading her on and enjoys individual and group prayer for God’s people.  As she humbly gives God all the glory for what He does in her ministry, she replies, "What an honor, for the Creator of all things to pick me up and use me as a tool for His kingdom and His people……what a great, great, honor."
