The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is reaching out to its network of partners in Pakistan to respond to the most severe flooding ever to affect that country.

As floodwaters from August monsoon rains spread over 82,000 square miles in Pakistan, the situation has been described as "a rolling earthquake." The death toll is estimated at 1,600, the homeless at 1.5 million and the number of people affected at millions more.

A broad range of programs, a focus on community leadership and service and a diverse student body set some United Methodist colleges and universities above their peers.

Several of the denomination’s 93 four-year colleges and universities earned top grades in The U.S. News and World Report’s annual list of “Best Colleges” in the United States.

Gladys Hibbard drove down Main Street, past the brick United Methodist church with the pristine yard, many times a week.

"I ought to give that church a try," she thought to herself many times. But she never did. Then she discovered a friend and her spouse belonged to the congregation.
