Evelyn and I would always end up in the same subject ‘what’s wrong with women today?’ The more we talked about it, the more we got angry about it. We realized that women today were destroying themselves and the image of other women, like ourselves, who avoided the same mistakes.

It’s the way they look at the world, relationships, families, fashion, and even sex. Where on earth did women begin to find it attractive to see a man strip? It’s outrageous! But it’s happening all over the place, and of course, beginning with Hollywood and pouring down on all of its followers.

So now it’s not only ok if you’re a pregnant teenager, but also cool! Never mind the baby that is going to be born into a single parent home, whose mother is still a child and completely unaware of her huge new responsibility.

Never mind that this mother-child figure will still be living like a child for a good number of this baby’s years; while in turn, the baby will grow up with the same mentality… It’s ok to have sex while you’re young, just have as much ‘fun’ as you can, doesn’t ever think of the consequences later in life.

And if possible, don’t you ever bother if the boyfriend, father of the baby, is unemployed, drug addict, and completely unaware of what a real man should be.

Enough of that.

The point is, girls are learning all this garbage from Hollywood and what do you think society will be like in 10 years time? If today it is ok to be a 14 year-old clueless mom, how about then? I can’t even imagine!

Meanwhile, God’s ways have not changed and those who have decided to live by them will not suffer the consequences of a Hollywood brain-washed society existent today. That’s when we thought about the Sisterhood...

‘What if we start working with a group of young women in the church who have decided to be different? What if we give them all we know about being godly and of God?’

Just like Hollywood has used its powers to diminish society, we can use the power that God has given us, the Holy Spirit, to guide young women into uplifting society. If young women are taught how to be women of God, then society will have better mothers, better wives, better daughters, better co-workers, better families, and better WOMEN who value the good things in life. Young women who preserve themselves for marriage, who know what it’s like to take care of a home and still follow a career, who will not be following fashion’s evil and sexy trends, but in turn God’s trends.

The Sisterhood began in December 2009 in Houston, Texas, with a group of 17 young women from the church, some single, some married. They have gone through a number of tasks both before and after entering the Sisterhood, all of which has changed them dramatically.
