Overcomers is Not Just a Class. It is a Way of Life.

Overcomers is not just a class. It is a way of Life.

One of the many ways Worldwide Voice In the Wilderness is involved in helping the city of Dallas fight crime directly is by offering Overcomers Recovery Support Class to Dallas Parole offices and local jails and prisons.

Overcomers' is a 12 step faith based program designed to help individuals with life controlling addictions to regain control. Overcomers is not just supposed to keep people sober it is meant to teach an individual how to LIVE.

WVIW offers classes throughout the City of Dallas and in over half of the State's Prisons and in several parole offices. The classes deal with individuals who are suffering from addictions ranging from anger, to drugs, to alcohol, and to many other life controlling substances and situations. The Overcomers' class guides individuals through twelve steps towards recovery and into a lifetime of freedom. It is our hope, through this foundation of Overcomers, to help men and women of Dallas find this freedom and change the statistics. We believe Texas parolees can become law abiding self sufficient leaders in our community, not just repeat offenders.

We are making a difference in Dallas.

In 2008 Worldwide Voice In the Wilderness, through the leadership of Sie Davis, handed out

over 1100 Overcomers Program completion certificates to men and women in Dallas and in several prison units around the state. We helped almost 300 men and women beat addiction every 90 days last year. This year WVIW is expected to far exceed this figure.

WVIW is blessed to have the leadership of Sie and his team; however, there is still a lot of ground to cover. There are currently 113 prisons in the state and there are over 150 men and women released back into our neighborhoods everyday, 5 days a week with over 500 a month moving into Dallas.

Every single one of these men and women deserve a chance for success.

Here is an excerpt from a letter we received showing that the word is out and

"Overcomers …Works"

To whom it may Concern:

The Mere Word Overcomers – well you already know the hope your program represents. A future, hope, life – and I want it. I have no access to your program in Dawson State Jail. I just got your information off a book a girl brought from county so I am reaching out to see if I may acquire a [Overcomers] workbook. Actually there are several girls in here all of us sharing a desire for recovery and would like to help each other with the work in the Overcomers workbook.

Thank You

(Dawson State Jail Inmate)

How you can help.

The first way to help is by meeting the practical need of the women who wrote in from the Dawson State Jail, asking for Overcomers workbooks which are only $16 each. You may also want to volunteer at Dawson or another unit to serve as a facilitator of Overcomers. Either way We know you will be blessed for doing so.

Worldwide Voice in the Wilderness is currently looking for individuals and churches to partner with who wish to change lives here in Dallas and across the State. WVIW operates Overcomers Facilitators Training Sessions throughout the State and we will even organize a Training Session for your church or organization if you so desire.
