A silver gelatin print depicting a black-and-white image of a crowd on the street listening to a Pentecostal service directly in front of a building with the house number [364]. At the center of the image and the crowd is a young woman, Sister Teresa, at a podium with a microphone held on her proper left hand and her proper right hand gesturing the crowd. She is wearing a white shirt with a collar and a vertically stripped blazer. The podium top is covered in a white lace, crochet-like table runner with books on top. Hanging in front of the podium is a fabric banner with [2 º… 2:22] at the top. At the center of the banner is [SOCIEDAD DE JOVENES / EMBAJADORES DE …]. Below it is a large, circular emblem reading [CRISTO PARA TODOS / TODOS PARA CRISTO].
