Luke Sheets

Monday, May 14th, 2012

EYC member Luke Sheets went home to be with the Lord on Friday, May 11.

Luke and four friends from Oral Roberts University were on their way to an “Acquire the Fire” event when their plane went down in Kansas.  Please keep passenger Hannah Luce in your prayers as she has miraculously survived and is in serious but stable condition.

If you knew Luke, you liked him.  Words like…spiritual, godly, intelligent, kind, and humble only start to describe the kind of man he is.  He graduated from ORU on May 5 and was pursuing his love of flying.

Please remember his parents Craig and Debra and his brother Blake in your prayers.

Arrangements for his home going service are in process; we will send an update when plans are finalized.
