Community Day at Hawkeye Community College
















Meet my friend, Lilli. Lilli goes to Hawkeye Community College, loves God, loves others, and is stepping out more and more to lead in her walk of faith. Over the past seven years, I have loved watching how God has been working in Lilli and using her to make a difference.

Recently, Lilli took on the leadership of the first ever "Community Day" which happened at Hawkeye Community College today. For three hours, representatives of many community non-profits came to share information at tables in the student center, and Lilli arranged for six speakers to share stories of impact from serving in their community. The stories were so moving, and I loved how each one pointed to faith in Christ as the motivation for service.

As a part of the event, there was a blank canvas with paints next to it, allowing people to paint their dreams for the community. Thanks, Lilli, for helping students to paint some dreams and possibilities in their minds today of how God might use their lives to make a significant difference in the world!
