Safe Haven in Mott Haven shows how long-term, consistent, sustained service to a community can make a difference. Centered around Graffiti 2’s afterschool programs, this podcast features Andrew Mann (executive director), Josh Johnson (Assistant Director), JoAnn Lira (Student Director) and two Graffiti 2 students, Ana and Anthony.

My Church Came to Me tells the story of how Margaret Schreve connected her church to her local community of need. As children’s minister at Houston River Baptist Church in Sulfur, Louisiana, Margaret had a lot of experience working with “church kids,” however when she began inviting kids from the community she became overwhelmed. Margaret remembered her experiences serving on a mission trip with Graffiti 2 and so she reached out for help.
