Our Story and Godly Vision
Do you know how it feels when you’ve been called to serve others at the highest by God but find yourself feeling isolated, blocked by artificial hierarchies within faith-based leadership, and the stress of trying to juggle roles as a Black woman in the world?
That was the experience of founder and minister Sonya Hosey, who, after years of serving in her home church, founded by her grandmother, Hattie Mae Moore, in a small Texas town, found her health devastated by a rare autoimmune brain disorder that left her with limited daily functional skills that required her to depend on others for care—spiritually, physically, socially, financially, and emotionally.

The years of stressfully juggling the roles of an obedient servant of God as a minister, wife, sister, granddaughter, daughter, mother, and community leader had taken their toll.
She lost her self-value.
Although physicians were able to begin to restore Minister Sonya’s health with medical treatments—it was only when she began to listen deeply to God’s guidance to heal holistically that she was able to restore her health to a level where she has been able to reduce medical treatment infusions by 50%.
This journey of her wellness enabled her to realize how many other women ministers were losing their self-identity, feeling isolated, developing catastrophic chronic diseases, losing hope, and experiencing suicidal thoughts.
She knew she had to do something to change what was happening.
Thus, the Iron Sharpens Iron 4 My Sisters and She Speaks Wellness programs of Moore 4 Sisters Ministries were born from a deep desire, commitment, and vision that no woman of God shall walk alone in serving our faith-based communities.
Each woman will be sharpened by one another and supported. As Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
Won't you take a moment to support our vision and mission to empower the daughters of God’s kingdom today?
A Humble Vision of Honoring Our Family Matriarch
Moore 4 Sisters Ministries, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) faith-based organization established on March 15, 2011. The name honors our late grandmother Hattie Mae Moore and mother, Mattie Mae (Moore) Adams. The 4 Sisters include Rita Howard, Debra Johnson, Bridgette Adams, Sonya Hosey, and every global sister we reach. "The foundation is laid, now we build upon it." — Hattie Mae Moore.
Our theme scripture comes from Proverbs 27:17: “Iron sharpens iron, as one person (woman) sharpens another.”
Rita Howard
"We must be in action because many women have a calling from God. The Iron Sharpens Iron 4 My Sisters Network gives women who desire to become sharper representatives of the Lord the ability to care for and help other women improve and empower their relationship with the Lord."
Debra Johnson
"To help our sisters recognize and reaffirm the power and perfection bestowed by our Creator to live a purpose-driven life."
In loving memory of Bridgette Adams (September 16, 1959 - August 21, 2021)
