helps to victims of domestic violence, at-risk teenage girls and teenage mothers. The S.I.S.T.A.H.S. Ministry
also seeks to encourage and edify women and teenage girls to move forward in their dreams, and to combine
the gifts and talents given to them. We further seek to be a viable Christian resource where one can find food
for the soul, hope in the difficult times, and a network of collaborative organizations and ministries to make an
impact in the community. As of October, 2008 the enlightening force of The S.I.ST.A.H.S. Ministry was
enlarged internationally into Torino, Italy and Nigeria, Africa and in June, 2009 the Hebron Prayer Church of
India commenced their chapter of The S.I.ST.A.H.S. Ministry under the covering of Pastor Joshua Gona.
The SISTAH Teen Mentoring Initiative gives special interest to at-risk teenage girls, teenage mothers as well
as homeless teens. Through effective workshops, activities and the annual conference, we endeavor to impact
the lives of teenage girls. We work to collaborate with other nonprofit organizations in order that the clients of
their organization benefit from attending all events free of charge.
