How can organizations show the love of Christ to mothers in need? Deaconess Grace Rao (Executive Director of A Place of Refuge) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about how A Place of Refuge (APOR) began, how APOR is helping women and children today, how women and babies are supported after their time with APOR, the roles of volunteers within A Place of Refuge, and why A Place of Refuge is so important to Grace. Learn more about APOR at aplaceofrefuge.org.

As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran. Have a topic you’d like to hear about on The Coffee Hour? Contact us at: listener@kfuo.org.
