As Pence pointed out, Esperanza is one of the largest alliances of Hispanic clergy, representing more than 13,000 congregations, as well as over 500 community groups across all U.S. states.

Moreover, it reaches out to 30 countries around the world, providing training and skills, ministering the Gospel to people and providing opportunities.

The organization says on its website that the biblical mandate it follows is reflected in Matthew 25:40, namely to serve the "least of these."

"We desire to show God's love by providing humble, compassionate, sacrificial service," Esperanza states.

"We believe in the transformative power of Jesus Christ that effects change and provides uplifting hope to the 'least of these,' the underserved and marginalized in our community."
