Volunteer Testimonials

“ I volunteer at Luke 16 because I like to do the work, I like to help out, and it’s all in God’s name that I do it.”  -  Jennifer

“ I felt a calling, like God was calling me -- “ go to Luke 15!”  -  Marvin


” Twenty three years ago, at the insistence of a friend, I reluctantly arrived at Luke 15 House, then on Kingsway, to attend a bible study.  It was led by Rob, a 27 year old resident who had become so bored in jail that he picked up a  Gideon Bible and was astounded by what he found in it.  He read to use several passages that had jumped out at him, and related why they had meant so much to him.  This began his recovery and his spiritual life, eventually leading him to Luke 15 House on his release.  I was awestruck to discover, as I looked around the room, that even the other residents, scared, tattooed and (to me at the time) scary looking, listened quietly, respectfully and attentively throughout Bob’s talk.  I became suddenly aware that if Jesus were walking the Earth in our time, this is where I would find him.  Additionally, I sense that presence of the Holy Spirit, an awareness that never left me in all my years of involvement with Luke 15. As a youth I had decided that should a miracle ever take place, I would sell my possessions to travel there to experience it first hand.  At Luke 15, I was surprised to discover that MANY miracles were taking place in my backyard.  No sell-off was required!  Is it any wonder then that I found myself “hooked” on Luke 15 House?  Nor did the expectation of many more miracles at Luke 15 disappoint.  I pray that they may long continue! “  -  Joe
