As Co-founder and Senior Pastor of Hillsong Church and founder of The Colour Sisterhood, Bobbie Houston paints a vision of God's plan for women of all ages and backgrounds to flourish, empower each other, and unite to change the world. We don't need to look far to realize that not all women live with the same opportunities and confidence. THE SISTERHOOD invites women to explore and expand what they believe about God, themselves, and their responsibility to the world around them. Tracing the rise of Hillsong Church's global Sisterhood movement, author Bobbie Houston challenges women to join her in creating a new era of outreach. Readers will learn how to embrace their individual gifts and value as women, growing seeds of change into greater possibilities for women everywhere. If one woman can change her world, then only heaven truly knows what an entire company of women can achieve. The beginnings. It began with a whisper : an introduction ; A branding iron : a divine moment ; I think God just spoke to me : a new day ; Stepping out : a new courage ; A date with 600 : a small beginning ; What's in a name? : a new authority ; Marquees and elephants : the stretch The wonder years. The wonder years : the language ; Chandeliers and confetti : the preparation ; Two-dollar mirrors : the little things ; Colorful threads : the friendships ; Fur balls and kindness : the madness and wonder ; Waterfalls and flags : the vote ; The real world beckons : the dots The sisterhood. Did someone just faint? : the lines ; Rats, rebels, stilettos, and cleavage seed : the afflicted ; My sister's keeper : the response ; Where are they? : the fields ; Russian dolls and a smile to die for : the fight for value and freedom ; Cupcakes, freedom fighters, and weapons of war : the sounds of freedom ; Ambush in the air : the prayer maps ; Go home and flourish : the garden ; Sunshine balconies, and pilgrimage : the way ; She is one, she is many : the epilogue from a whisper to a shout. At the core of Sisterhood is a message of value and a genuine desire for women to "unite in friendship and cause" in order to bring hope where hope has been lost. The spirit of Sisterhood is seen and felt in the fervent prayer of thousands of girls who faithfully uphold nations where injustice and darkness rage out of control. It is seen and felt in young women being inspired by the wisdom and grace of their mothers and the women ahead of them in this journey of life. It is seen and felt in the relentless networking of everyday girls in their local neighborhoods and in places of influence as they raise awareness and find solutions for the suffering, forgotten, and abused of this world. The Sisterhood is a story of God's daughters on the earth, changing their "here and now" and looking to the future with expectation that God can and will use them to make a difference. God has a plan for women of all ages and backgrounds to flourish, empower each other, and unite to change the world.
