In the face of some of this world's harshest realities, the people of the Baltimore-Washington Conference are responding with hope.

By Annual Conference 2008, the almost 200,000 United Methodist in this region will raise $1 million to rebuild Mississippi Gulf churches damaged by Hurricane Katrina, combat the scourage of AIDs now sweeping the globe and fortify our partnership with those in dire need in Zimbabwe.
