Lori Apon

Lori Apon is the founder and Executive Director of Perspective Ministries. “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows” became the anchor promise for our family in 1999 upon the tragic death of Bobby Apon, my husband and the father of our 8 children. Hundreds of people walked alongside our family, modeling how to care for the widow and fatherless. Because of their involvement in our lives and with the perspective of God as Defender and Father, 20 years later we continue to testify that choosing God’s perspective makes a difference. With an empty nest in sight, God called me to give the next season of my life to comfort as we had been comforted. In 2015 Perspective Ministries was started to meet the practical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the widow and her fatherless children. To this day we strive to connect the widow to resources and help, reminding her she has not been left alone, and to equip churches and volunteers to care for widows and their children in meaningful ways.
