I was honored to attend the 94th birthday celebration for Luke Weaver Sr. yesterday.
Luke Sr.’s son, Luke Jr, gave the following story:
Luke said his father followed the call of God to leave the farm and evangelize on the streets of Harrisburg.
On occasion Luke Sr would instruct his 10 year old son to walk down the opposite side of the street from which he, the father, was planning to walk. He further instructed his young son that when he reached a certain place on the street where there were a lot of people gathered, he was to cry out in a loud voice, “What must I do to be saved?”
When the young boy obediently followed his father’s direction and cried out loudly, “What must I do to be saved?”, the father, Luke Sr., would respond in a loud voice from across the street, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved!”
And thus the father and son teamed up to evangelize on the streets of Harrisburg.
The Holy Spirit anointed Luke Sr. this humble man of God, to raise up and mentor a generation of men and women who learned to follow the Spirit in publicly proclaiming the Gospel in the marketplace.
Truly Luke Sr was an apostle of our Lord Jesus.
* In the picture Luke raises his hands and sings “Revive Us Again!“
