In Part 2 of Compelled, Lori Apon shares how God faithfully upheld His promise to be “a Father to the fatherless and a Ddefender of widows” (Psalm 68:5) after her husband, Bobby, tragically took his life. Left to raise eight young children alone, Lori clung to God’s word, trusting that He would provide—and He did.

Through years of uncertainty and hardship, God’s provision came in miraculous ways: anonymous gifts, unexpected opportunities, and even full college scholarships for all eight of her children. Despite the overwhelming challenges, Lori watched her children grow into faithful followers of Christ, defying statistics and reflecting God’s grace. Now, as the founder of Perspective Ministries, Lori dedicates her life to serving widows and fatherless children, empowering them to trust God’s promises just as she did.
