Encouraging a person to develop and strengthen characteristics which lead to a lifetime of servant leadership begins very early. You may know a student who is an example of Christian leadership in their school, church, and community. Recommend this student as a Leader in Christian Service so that we all may learn from their example.
The Todd Beamer Student Leader in Christian Service
The Leaders in Christian Service award for students is named in memory of Todd Beamer, who was aboard the United Flight 93 aircraft that was hijacked on Sept. 11, 2001. His now famous “Let’s roll!” became a symbol of the heroism displayed in many ways on that fateful day in American history. The Beamer family frequently attended campus events when Todd was growing up, and they share Milligan’s commitment to preparing the next generation to become servant-leaders in their communities.
