Wisdom Way Family:

We function less like an “organization” and more like a family.  So, here’s a few people in our family!

Jonathan and Cassiani Friz: The Friz family moved to New England in 2005 in order to attend Gordon-Conwell Seminary, never expecting that God would call them to remain in New England. Jonathan’s one desire is to see Jesus receive the answer to His prayer in John 17: “Let them be one as we are one.”  He is committed to building the Body through promoting authentic unity amongst church leaders, one-on-one discipleship, and encouraging a culture of prayer, fasting, and joy.  Cassi is a certified Holistic Health Counselor and works to bring healing and wholeness through wise and delicious food.  They are blessed with an ever-increasing tribe of children!

David McCahon: David has served in the Pioneer Valley for almost 30 years with passions for prayer, unity in the Body of Christ, and discipling youth and college students.  After years of concern regarding the legacy of D.L. Moody on the Northfield Campus, he has been made the New England representative of the new C.S. Lewis College. 

Suzanne Loughry: Suzanne, originally from Northern California, remained on Boston's North Shore after graduating from Gordon College.  She works part-time, is actively involved in her church, The Harbor: A Community of Faith, and has been a part of the Wisdom Way family since summer of 2009. Currently, her main role in Wisdom Way is as co-leader of Pilgrim House of Prayer (PHOP) in Beverly. She also assists with financial administration, and anything else that is needed. Her passion is for the maturity and unity of the body of Christ, and her areas of ministry are music, prayer, and college students. Looking forward, she eventually hopes to attend graduate school and study British Literature, but is excited to follow God's direction - already the journey has been full of unexpected wonders!

Christ Otto: Christ (rhymes with “wrist”) Otto has been an artist, musician, writer, teacher, pastry chef, and a lot of other jobs in between those ones.  Through it all, he has learned how to be a son. After a lot of pain and suffering, a wise priest instructed Christ to “Listen to the Lord and do what He tells you.”  That simple advice has transformed his life and opened the doors to the adventure he now leads in Boston. Christ is a graduate of Houghton College and Asbury Theological Seminary.  He is the author of The Glory of a Wasted Life, and is the director of the 333 House of Prayer in Boston.   In 2009 he spearheaded the Red Envelope Project, a movement that eventually sent 3.5 million empty red envelopes to President Barack Obama to protest his stance on abortion.  This movement has spread to Canada, the Philippines, France and the United Kingdom.

Christ lives by faith and has devoted himself to ministry to the Lord in prayer, to raising up an army of artists, and to re-establish the tabernacle of David in the earth.

Benjamin and Laura Wells-Tolley: The Wells-Tolley clan is putting down roots in the gorgeous Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts. Benjamin, Laura and their family live and work on an organic diversified CSA farm and are laboring for the raising up of a community of night and day prayer, fasting and farming. It is with great joy that they are serving the Body in corporate prayer, discipleship and teaching both in their home as well as on college campuses in the region.
