She has a way of making faith feel personal and within reach, whether she is speaking to a room full of people or writing a single letter of encouragement. ## Loving God, Loving People Ali Hoffman loves God and loves people. She travels the globe preaching the Gospel and making disciples of all nations. She also mails monthly letters of encouragement and hand-drawn artwork, affectionately called LYLO Letters, to build up the local church. ## What Can You Expect? Come ready to feel seen and encouraged. Ali brings warmth, honesty, and a deep love for people to everything she does. She meets students right where they are and reminds them that the Gospel is good news for their lives. Because wherever you go next, you do not have to walk alone. ## A Little More About Ali When she is not speaking, Ali is often drawing. Her LYLO Letters pair hand-drawn art with words of encouragement, mailed out each month to build up the local church. You can see more of her work and her doodles on her website.
