7X7 Project

The 7×7 Project is an integral part of Healing the Father, where we seek to identify men with abortion experience who have reached peace with their abortion and wish to help guide and shepherd other men to their peace.

The reality of helping the abortion-wounded is, for now, a one-on-one process. I, for example, am just one guy who has reached peace with my own abortion experience through forgiveness offered by our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Through the 7×7 Project, I mentor other men who have been affected by abortion, guiding them toward lasting peace. The project aims to expand its reach by equipping 7 men to be mentors, each of whom will then train 7 more mentors, and so on.

The number 7 is used as, according to Christianity.com, “Seven often symbolizes completion or perfection”.

Mentors in the 7×7 Project undergo comprehensive vetting to ensure they are equipped to provide effective and empathetic support. These men are effective communicators and understand and have empathy for the trauma their mentees come to them with. They can impart to their mentees the peace they have attained in hopes these men will be willing to embrace their own path to healing.

Each mentor, having achieved peace in their journey, provides empathetic guidance and support tailored to the mentee’s unique needs. This one-on-one mentorship fosters profound personal growth and recovery by offering a safe space for participants to explore their feelings, challenges, and possibilities for emotional growth and healing.

Mentor Selection Process

The selection of mentors is a careful process, emphasizing several criteria.

Personal Experience: Mentors must have navigated their own journey of healing from their abortion wounds and reached a place of peace and forgiveness of themselves and others involved to the best of their ability and circumstances.

Christ-centered Approach: Each mentor must have received Christ as their Savior and demonstrate a clear understanding of the concept of forgiveness, the Biblical forgiveness steps, and how Christ’s forgiveness relates to their experience. They should effectively share and guide an abortion-wounded man toward accepting Christ’s forgiveness.

Empathy and Understanding: Candidates are evaluated for their ability to empathize and understand the mentee’s current emotional state.

Refined Listening Skills: Each mentor must establish where their mentees are emotionally at the first encounter, learn the history of their abortion experience, understand their theological foundation at the time of the abortion, and gain insight into their upbringing to determine a way forward together.

Commitment to Service: Potential mentors should demonstrate a strong commitment to the ministry’s mission and an active willingness to assist others in their healing journey, committing to work with each referral until they reach a state of peace and comfort with their abortion experience.
