Washington D.C.

Overview

God has brought Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, and Animists from all over the world to the crowded urban corridor between Washington D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland. A magnet for immigrants, diplomats, dignitaries, international students, and visiting scholars, the D.C.-Baltimore hub poses a real challenge to Christian witness. The D.C.-Baltimore area is home to more than 20,000 international students awaiting campus ministry. The majority of these students come from least-reached countries such as China, India, and Saudi Arabia. The D.C.-Baltimore hub also attracts scholars to world-renowned centers of learning such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Institutes of Health, and Johns-Hopkins University.
