Our purpose is to restore our collective identity by being the repairer of broken walls and the restorer of streets with dwellings, as Isaiah 58:12 instructs. By doing so, we aim to rebuild our sense of self-worth, purpose, and dignity as individuals and as a community, recognizing and embracing the unique qualities that make us who we are. Through this process, we will strive to reclaim our authentic selves, build meaningful connections with others, and positively impact the world around us.

“ As a leader in my community, I attended V2V thinking that I would just see what it is all about. Little did I know how my perception of myself would change. I always thought I was sorted out and did not have issues. Well, that was until I attended V2V. It opened my eyes to my brokenness and gave me a clear understanding of who I am. It empowered me to make a change in myself for me to become a better man, husband and father. Thank you!”
“This V2V course is very insightful and uplifting. It is most certainly a positive building block on my journey to healing. It made such a positive impact on me and I am sure all the other men that attended this workshop.
I am looking forward doing V2V level 2, and be assured, I will promote this course among all men who are struggling in dealing with their Father wounds. Thank you so much!”
“V2V neem dit verder wat jou enable om dan te sê wat jy jou Pa wou sê of nog wil sê om te genees. Ek sal V2V denitief vir manne bemark met moeder en vader wonde. Thank you for enabling us to start this journey of healing wounds. God bless"

At Victim 2 Victor Initiative, our teachings and counseling are deeply rooted in Bible-based principles and Christian beliefs.
We believe in the transformative power of faith and the wisdom found within the pages of Scripture. Our approach integrates biblical truths with counseling techniques to provide holistic healing and guidance.
Drawing from the rich tapestry of Christian theology, we offer a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore their faith, find solace in prayer, and discover profound insights that lead to inner healing and restoration.
Whether you're grappling with past wounds, navigating challenging relationships, or seeking clarity on your life's purpose, our compassionate team of facilitators combines professional expertise with spiritual wisdom to walk alongside you on your journey toward wholeness.
At Victim 2 Victor Initiative, we honor the diverse expressions of faith and welcome individuals from all walks of life to experience the transformative power of God's love and grace. Together, we embark on a journey of healing, guided by the light of faith and the promise of redemption.
Our story begins with our Founder, Stefan Ehlers, whose passion for counseling and healing ignited during his pursuit of a master's degree in counseling, culminating in 2017. His academic journey led him to explore the profound impact of father wounds on individuals and their communities, a subject close to his heart.

In August 2021, Stefan's life took an unexpected turn with the passing of his mentor, Gerhard van Eck, the CEO of The World Needs a Father. It was in this poignant moment of loss and reflection that the seeds of Victim 2 Victor Initiative were sown. Driven by his mentor's legacy and a deep-rooted desire to catalyze positive change, Stefan envisioned a space where individuals could transform their pain into empowerment.
In May 2022, Stefan's vision came to life as Victim 2 Victor Initiative launched its inaugural workshop. From its humble beginnings, the initiative has flourished exponentially, fueled by a dedicated team of six facilitators, comprising five men and one woman. Together, they bring diverse perspectives and unwavering commitment to guide participants on their journey from victimhood to victory.
Rooted in Cape Town, Victim 2 Victor Initiative extends its reach across the country, with facilitators stationed in various regions. Our workshops, once solely focused on individual healing, now include transformative couple workshops, recognizing the profound impact of relational dynamics on personal growth.
At Victim 2 Victor Initiative, we believe that healing is a collaborative journey, and every story of triumph is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Join us as we embark on a journey of healing, empowerment, and transformation—because from every victim, a victor emerges.
