The S.I.S.T.A.H.S. Ministry began in August, 2006 in Michigan and now has five other State Chapters (Massachusetts, New York, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Tennessee). The S.I.S.T.A.H.S. Ministry is a women's ministry whose main objective is to unite women and teenage girls to impact their world, with a specific concentration of 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 uplift God through encouraging and edifying women and teenage girls to move forward in the blessings of the Lord. The Ministry seeks to combine the gifts and talents given to women and teenage girls (through the written Word, journalistic gifting, businesses and fellow ministries) and to be a viable Christian women's resource where one can find food for the soul, hope in the difficult times, and network to collaborate with other organizations and ministries to make an impact in the community. As of October, 2008 the enlightening force of God's Word through The SISTAHS 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 SISTAHS Ministry under the covering of Pastor Joshua Gona.
In the beauty of holiness
Seeking to serve and encourage all women
Taking back what the devil has attempted to steal from us
Anointed by the power of God presenting our bodies
Holy and acceptable unto God which is our reasonable
Service

Doctrinal Statement
The S.I.S.T.A.H.S Ministry International and it's many ministry outreaches believe in the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible and irrefutable Word of God. We believe that personal salvation and forgiveness of sins is obtained only through:
* ~ Admission that we are sinners (Romans 3:23)
* ~ Belief that Jesus Christ is the only Son of God and that he was crucified, died for our sins (Romans 5:8), and that He rose again on the third day. (John 20:8)
* ~ Confess with our mouth that Jesus Christ is our personal savior (Romans 10:9)
Co-Founder Valerie Butler
Sister Valerie Butler's foundation was formed in her family's church at Peace Baptist Missionary Baptist Church (Rev. Stacey Williams).
As we all tend to do until we come into the knowledge and wisdom of God, for years she attended "Bedside Baptist" and did things on her own, searching for happiness in all the wrong places. Through her niece, Sister Butler was introduced to Pastor Lannet Mayberry of Ecc'Lesia Christian Ministries, a newly formed congregation. After several months of visiting she joined, and under the guidance and teaching of Pastor Mayberry, Sister Butler began to develop an intimate relationship with the Lord and allow the Holy Spirit to lead her into true happiness and real direction. She is being led into the spiritual gift of teaching.
Coming into the knowledge of how much God loves us and wants us to depend on Him in seeking and asking Him for everything, and waiting for His response, allows her to be filled with Joy and her prayer is that she be able to tell and express to everyone the love of the Lord thy God.
