Who We Are
Providing humaniatrian aid and medical clinics for vulnerable people around the world
God made us to be heros
Our culture and even the church at large does not give men and women that many opportunities to be who God created them to be. 7 Day Hero exists to give both men and women the opportunity to be a hero overseas.
7 Day Hero life-changing faith adventures allow us an opportunity to talk about what it feels like to be that hero. It also allows us to talk about ways we can be that hero at home with our spouse and children. If we are a hero overseas and a hero at home, we will be a hero in our community and our church, hence being a 7 Day Hero.
Having traveled to 40 plus countries, I have seen the lives of people change. Not only do we help change the lives of the indigenous people including the poor and needy, but those who go on these faith adventures are changed. 7 Day Hero is about life change. We believe God can use us as we serve the poorest of the poor. We are called to do it.
7Day Hero does sustainable humanitarian work around the world that includes food distribution, eye surgeries, and international medical clinics for vulnerable people in the following countries: Vietnam, Peru, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel and the West Bank, Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Mexico.
Consider joining us on a future trip with a group of men and women. We always try to work with and support the local, indigenous pastor or NGO to make our efforts sustainable.
Be a Life Changer.
