Review for Sisters 4 Sisters Inc, Lanham, MD, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

Sisters4Sisters has been a very positive influence in my life for almost three years. I came to my first fellowship meeting alone and the sisters welcomed me with open arms. I really needed more positive, proactive and prayerful women in my life and I found this and more at Sisters4Sisters. I have enjoyed meeting women from various backgrounds and experiences and sharing common desires for friendship, love, giving and caring for thoese in need. The friendships that I have developed are invaluble and came at a time when I was somewhat down and needed to connect with a ministry like Sisters4Sisters so that I could help others and not focus so much on my own needs. I relized how blessed I was in so many areas of my life and I was able to experience the joy of helping others. This ministry is open to women of various ethnicities, backgrounds, experiences and social-economic status. No one is treated differently based on these factors. This ministry is organized, detail oriented and encouraging. A positive and God centered ministry, I have grown both spiritually and emotionally through my involvement with them. I look forward to opportunties to help others while at the same time I am able to enrich my purpose for being here. Carolyn Washington, the founder and CEO truly loves to help women and especially those who are the least likely to get help from others. She knows all the members and volunteers by name and makes everyone feel special. Sister Washington does not talk the talk but she unselfishly walks the walk daily to help others who are hungry, victims of domestic violence or sexual abuse, need clothing, food or a safe place to stay and so many other needs. This ministry has given more purpose to my life and to why I am here. When I help and focus on the needs of my fellow sisters, I do not have time to have a pity party about my concerns. Sisters4Sisters is a tremendous blessing to me and I am glad I found it by accident while online searching for a book club. This accident was actually the purpose that I was searching for during that season of my life.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

A most powerful experience was at our domestic violence/sexual abuse prayer breakfast. I shared a very painful experience in front of hundres of women without fear. Some had similiar experiences. Others hugged and supported us. I was free from that pain.
