After leaving the labor movement, Maria passionately pursued her ministry.

With home videos recorded in the 1980s, Maria Moreno’s daughters describe the anti-poverty mission that the family built on the U.S.-Mexico border, and how nothing would stop Maria from pursuing her passionate ministry, even if it meant hitchhiking to get to her next church service where she was a sought-after speaker.
