   âEven in the hardest moments of despair, if you believe in the 
vision
   passionately enough, you will find a way to make it happen.â â

Dillard University overcomes Katrina

   NEW ORLEANS (UMNS) â The best shot of Hurricane Katrina was no 
match for
   Dillard University and the United Methodist connection. Five years 
later,
   the refurbished campus is home to new buildings valued at $53.5 
million and
   state-of-the-art technology throughout â thanks in large part to 
The Black
   College Fund.

Delta magazine calls Lowery one of âThe Game Changersâ

   ATLANTA (UMNS) â The Rev. Joseph Lowery, 88, a United Methodist 
pastor and
   well-known civil rights leader, is recognized as one of âThe Game 
Changersâ
   in the October issue of Delta Sky Magazine âfor fighting for racial
   equality.â In the article, Lowery says that delivering the 
benediction at
   President Obamaâs inauguration on Jan. 20, 2009, was âprobably the 
biggest
   thrill of my life.â


 Church World Service responds to tsunami, volcano

   MENTAWAI DISTRICT, Indonesia (UMNS) â Indonesia is dealing with two
   disasters: a powerful earthquake that triggered a tsunami that 
killed more
   than 400 people, with the death toll rising, and a volcanic 
eruption at
   Mount Merapi that has prompted displacement of hundreds. The 
7.7-magnitude
   earthquake and 10-foot-high tsunami Monday (Oct. 25) stem from a 
fault on
   the west coast of Sumatra island.In immediate response to the 
tsunami,
   Church World Service â a partner of The United Methodist Church â 
is
   providing 140 baby care kits and is assessing additional needs in
   partnership with the Mentawai Christian Protestant Church. Church 
World
   Service staff members are monitoring the situation at Mount Merapi.
