About

Built by the people who do the work

Directee didn’t come from a product brainstorm. It came from one working spiritual direction practice and one pastor who builds software — and it grows the way it began: from the real rhythms of the work.

Suhail Stephen

Co-creator · Spiritual direction lead

Suhail is a spiritual director and supervisor: founder and director of the School of Mercy and Justice, teacher in Sustainable Faith’s School of Spiritual Direction, pastor of West End Abbey — a contemplative church in Winnipeg — and co-host of the Listen with Love podcast. Directee is shaped daily by his working practice: the templates, prompts, and rhythms inside exist because his directees needed them. Find him at writingisprayer.com.

Donnell Wyche

Co-creator · Software lead

Donnell is Senior Pastor at Ann Arbor Community Church, where he’s served since 1999, and a technologist who started his career as a Solution Architect at IBM. For over twenty-five years he’s walked alongside people through grief, celebration, and everything in between — and built tools for ministry along the way: The Divine Hours with the late Phyllis Tickle, Prayetic, CareNote, and Directee. He builds software the way a pastor keeps a congregation: personally.
