Services – 7 Bells Refuge

The role and mission of Wendy Lowry inside 7 Bells is determined by where she is most needed at each moment. Wendy’s life was in a state of sustained crisis before she met Jesus near death in 1991, so she has a great sensitivity to the level of crisis a person is in when they reach out to her. She strives to offer the next step and clearest, most simple path to relief. Wendy gets an average of 15 serious requests a day for some type of crisis intervention. She responds according to the urgency and whether she can assist or refer to another source better equipped to help. She feels her gifting is the person who feels stuck spiritually out emotionally and wants help trying to remove the barrier between themselves and God. The desired outcome is a closer and more intimate walk with Jesus Christ.

Wendy has spent many years studying and operating in deep prayer work for her own freedom and has continued to learn and grow as she meets more complicated and seemingly hopeless situations. Prayer ministry is her top priority. The greater amount of her time is given to meeting those in spiritual crisis and helping them towards freedom.

Wendy also has great experience with men and women inside the correctional system, psych wards, treatment centers, sexual assaults, domestic issues, a variety of addiction issues, and hopelessness in general. She coaches many calls and situations related to these areas nearly daily. She is a “go to” person for many due to her length of time and consistent experience in these very difficult areas.

Wendy also spends 2 afternoons a week at Metro Hope Ministries in downtown Minneapolis. They graciously provide her an office to do prayer work with their clients and others as needed in the City of Minneapolis. She has been speaking weekly “live” on our 7 Bells Facebook page and 7 Bells Refuge YouTube Channel. She has a passion to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and to provide clarity on issues that are frequently brought to her that she feels need a voice.

We would love to have you consider becoming a partner of 7 Bells. We have an outside team operating our finances and keeping us accountable. Integrity is a top priority priority for us at all levels in this ministry. Most importantly, we need intercessors, volunteers and to offer assistance to you if we are able. We desire to serve and bless as we are able.

Crisis Coaching / Sobriety Support

Many in recovery do well inside the predictability of a structured program; but, when expected to create and manage your own stability, it feels overbearing.

7 Bells will help you with:

Unhealed areas.
We work to identify areas of trauma, unforgiveness, emotional pain and spiritual conflict. These areas continue to trigger addiction until resolved.
Relapse shame.
The shame from relapse is very intense and brings its own hopelessness. We seek to minimize that impact and work towards the core issues causing the relapse.
What Now? We help work out a plan to include critical needs for moving forward.

Prayer

The most important piece for peace

I (Wendy) realized early in my sobriety that I was not able to be that “new creation” who everyone in the church wanted me to be after salvation.

I was deeply traumatized and damaged by my sin. I needed more help than was available or known to anyone around me at that time (see my full story). Through those years, and various seasons of crisis, I was introduced to people that offered me “prayer ministry” to help me heal from my past. Some was helpful. Some further traumatized me. Some did nothing good or bad, but felt very invasive. After experiencing nearly every form of prayer intervention, from every phase of crisis, I’ve developed what I’ve chosen to be “best practices” and have carefully implemented them into the 7 Bells services offered. This may not be best for everyone, but it has helped many.

My priority in life is to help others as quickly as possible get free from:

generational sin
your own sin
unforgiveness
sins of others against you
unhealthy ties from immorality/trauma
breaking agreements and strongholds
vows and judgments

I want others to understand the authority Jesus Christ gave us at the Cross and how to use it like He intended. I want to help people understand and break down the unforgivness, strongholds, sinful ties, vows and judgments that plague their lives. Since gaining this knowledge and walking in Jesus’ Biblical authority, my life is so changed and purpose-filled. Jesus wants the same for your life.

We have a trained core prayer team who will walk with you through the prayer process.

Our YouTube Channels

Online Faith Resources

We have 3 YouTube Channels to minister The Word of God, Live prayer and weekly Bible studies.

7 Bells Refuge: Weekly Bible studies and teaching by Wendy Lowry

The Perch: The Word of God read with instrumental and nature sounds to help with sleep, anxiety, rest and relaxation.

7 Bells Third Watch Prayer: The third prayer watch of the night ( 12 a.m. to 3 a.m. ) is one of the most important watches. Satanic attacks and demonic activity are heightened against the children of God as they sleep. This is a time for dreams, visions, miracles, and divine protection. 5 nights a week 7 Bells will go live during this time praying in the Spirit and sowing seeds of God’s Word into the hearts and minds of believers.
