Wendy Lowry is the President and Founder of 7 Bells.
Wendy narrowly survived her own early 8 years of chronic addictions to alcohol, amphetamines, and eating disorders. She was miraculously saved from an overdose that should have caused her death in 1991 when a pastor’s wife prayed for her in her last moments. She was healed instantly from the overdose, her addictions, her raging lifestyle and her insane mind. She never used drugs or alcohol again after that prayer and never suffered withdrawal or went to treatment. She changed from chasing relief from her torment to chasing the One who healed her torment, Jesus Christ. Wendy worked for Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge for 20 years as a jail liaison, program director and chaplain before resigning in 2019 to start 7 Bells Refuge. She knew God was asking her to create a safe world for those who cannot stay sober outside the walls of treatment centers.
