Lady in the Hood

Lady in The Hood is the story of one woman’s journey from the privileged life of a New York debutante to the establishment of an inner-city mission in a drug and gang infested East Dallas neighborhood. Born into a family of wealth and social prominence, Dorothy Moore was raised with all the trappings of the East Coast elite: a nanny, servants, private prep schools and vacations in Europe and the family’s 400-acre retreat in Illinois. Relocated to her husband’s home state of Texas, Dorothy eventually found a dynamic personal relationship with Christ at a Christian seminar that forever transformed her “elite” attitudes into those of a true servant. Drawn to the needs of Dallas’ inner city, Dorothy was instrumental in establishing a dynamic ministry that currently touches hundreds of lives through life transforming residential programs. See how one “lady” obeyed Christ, crossing social, economic, racial and gender barriers to reach out to “the hood”—a once forgotten corner of urban blight that is now touched by the hope of transformation that comes from a great God!
