International Sisters Strengthening Sisters was birthed in 2005 by Pastor Debra Fox and the women’s ministry of the Alpha Generation Ministries of Gulfport, MS. Once the ministry started to reach out into their local community it became even clearer that the need to help the less fortunate was critical. By 2009, Pastor Debra Fox and Sisters Strengthening Sisters opened the doors to Sisters Strengthening Sisters Shelter to help combat homelessness and hunger to families in the local community. This shelter is still operating and servicing the community. This too was part of the vision but it wasn’t the masterpiece.
In 2010, Pastor Fox saw the potential of her ministers growth and the need of prayer and encouragement for women both near and far. It was at that instant she decided to use Facebook as more then just a social site, but as a way to carry out another part of her vision. Sisters Strengthening Sisters group was then created to unite women from all different wal ks of life to join on one accord and glorify the name of the Lord. The growing Sisterhood has grown to be 30,000 member international group, the expectancy of sister ship. Our group is known for praying, encouraging and uplifting each other in the name of the Lord.
Yes, that part of the vision is now in effect. Due to the response from an abundance of requests from women in other countries Sisters Strengthening Sisters is now International Sisters Strengthening Sisters, an international sisterhood ministry.
