Will Norris
Hi, my name is Will Norris. I’m a pretty big deal. I have many leather bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.(If you don’t get this reference, you probably should check out Anchorman because at the moment you are missing out on much more than just a movie). I’m from Seattle, WA and just finished up playing 4 years of football for Davidson College in North Carolina. As a result my hobbies still largely involve binge-eating, lifting, and crochet…I mean growing beards. If there’s a good joke going around I’m all ears and I am always open for a good conversation and a cigar. I want to earn an MBA in the near future and head into the corporate world. I am currently employed at EBSCO publishing, working in their Business Development department. I’m not being cute when I say the All Saints community is totally awesome, and that I have already grown close to many families in this church. I’m looking forward to working more with the kids within this church and the alternative school that is just next door. This is still a fresh program and the opportunities for us fellows are far and above those of other great programs across the country. Plus we get to live together in an old convent building…are you kidding me?! Sweet. I’m looking forward to growing deeper in relationship with those around me this year, ministering to youth, growing my business experience, learning and serving others. It’s been a great ride thus far and look forward to the track ahead this coming year. Grace and Peace, and lets go Seahawks!

Jane Revell
Hey ya’ll. My name is Jane Revell and I am from the beautiful state of South Carolina. I have a pretty thick southern drawl and most people up here in the Boston area give me confused looks the first time they hear me talk. This happens quite frequently as human interaction is a large part of my job, working as a barista at Starbucks. Yes that’s right ….my job is nourishing the human spirit, one cup of java at a time.
I graduated from Grove City College this past May with a degree in Communication Studies and a minor in Religion. Building strong and meaningful relationships with people is my greatest passion and although I am still unsure of the specifics of how this will play out in my life, working at Starbucks is providing fertile soil to cultivate and refine this passion.
I’m so thankful to be a part of the Fellows program. I have learned and been challenged so much on the true meaning of living in community, laying my life down to serve others and surviving harsh winters. I know that this year will produce much long term fruit in my life.

Kristofer Thompson
Kris is from Succasunna, New Jersey. He graduated from Grove City College with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He is working for ARC Technologies, a radar and microwave absorbing materials manufacturer, with the prestigious title of Advanced Materials Intern. He is excited about the Boston Fellows and looks forward to what God will teach him this year. He has a deep love of both the mountains and the sea and enjoys surfing and backpacking. After work you can find him with a good book in his recliner (which is staying in St. Aidan's, any takers?). One day he hopes to wander New Zealand.

Jacob Wagner
Hi, my name is Jacob Wagner. Some of my favorite things in life have been traveling, writing, working with my hands, back-yard sports, and family. I first moved to the Boston area from my home in the back-woods of NH five years ago, to attended Gordon College. At Gordon I studied Political Science and Communication Arts, and developed a deep interest in the intersection of theory and practice in regards to public policy, community development, inter-group conflict, and Christian thought and practice. The Boston Fellows Program, for me, has been about much more than simply a transition from college into “real life”; it has been a means of jump starting a truly in-tuned and intentional life of service and discipleship in the values that I believe hold a well-spring of solutions for the troubles and sufferings of today’s world. What I appreciate most about the program, is that the mentorships, community life, and many service opportunities have been raw and organic, not overly programatic or contrived. Also, I am learning a great deal about work place ethics from a Christian perspective. I have been blessed to enjoy a great job placement as a Case Aide at a refugee resettlement agency in Boston.
