American Leftovers Book Signing with LPU Alumni

April 19

Life Pacific University welcomed LPU alumni Heidi Messner (’99) and Eric Wilson (’91), authors of the New York Times Best Seller, American Leftovers, on campus to share with LPU Media and Communications students. Heidi and Eric shared about how to use your personal story to tell a powerful story to the masses through writing. Their experience with authoring American Leftovers revealed to them the biblical influence of storytelling and how to leverage that for the expansion of the Kingdom of God. They shared with the LPU community the process of writing, how to secure a book deal, working on movie scripts, and answering any questions regarding American Leftovers or their time in the writing and publishing space.

Heidi and Eric also held a book signing where our students could buy a copy of American Leftovers and have it signed. It was an encouraging conversation to hear from LPU alumni as they become successful in their respective fields.

Ministry Major Esther Park Shines God’s Light and Love | Pray and Give Week 2026

April 6

Esther knows she has much to give, because to her much has been given. “Jesus met me at my lowest point,” she remembers. “During a season when I felt lost and without purpose, He met me, freed me from depression and suffering, and restored a clear sense of calling and direction in my life.” Esther is now a sophomore majoring in Ministry at Life Pacific University, where she also serves with Student Ambassadors, a group of students who share the heart and mission of LPU at camps, churches, and other similar events. Here on campus, Esther sees how God is moving and working. “I always felt like our school is like a pan full of corn that is ready to pop,” she shares. “Holy Spirit is stirring [us] to be active in faith.”
