A Fighting Chance


Edward Chambers came to WVIW in the summer of 2007. He currently serves as the Director of our Transitional Home, displaying leadership and wisdom to help our men get on and stay on the right path. He teaches and guides our Transitional Home residents with respect and character. Through WVIW's Transitional Home Program, Edward is able to offer them something they have never had in their lifetime. A fighting chance.

Edward knows a lot about not having a fighting chance. Edward spent 25 years living in a place with no more chances and no more hope. He was locked up 4 separate times. When he was released on December 13, 2006, he had served 17 ½ years.

He and Sie Davis (now Director of Overcomers for WVIW) met in Dallas and have known each other since childhood. They were both in and out of prison for 2 decades but managed to stay in touch. When Edward was released he quickly reconnected with Sie.

This time they didn't reconnect on the streets, they reconnected in Church.

Edward realized there was no way of staying out with the track he had made for himself. He allowed God to take control of his life. Edward Chambers is a changed man. In late 2006, he began mentoring and training under Sie's leadership and in 6 short months was named Director of The Transitional Home for WVIW.

Worldwide Voice In the Wilderness' Transitional Home has become the outlet that allows Edward to give our residents the same hope for change he was given.

With Edward's leadership, our residents can now have their Own Fighting Chance.
