God said to Moses, “I see the suffering of Israel; I hear the cry of my people.” He sent Moses to deliver them from Pharaoh. Our nation is crying and we need to respond. In response to this calling, SAO members feel that it is a moral imperative and a divine commitment to courageously take the challenge to go to Haiti. The confrontations ahead are immeasurable and to assume them we have to take risks. Risks to leave all paved highways in the US to reach the remote villages to hand delivered the goods, services, and love to those in needs with joy and compassionate hands. Risks to leave our comfort zone to go to their huts, to fellowship, cry, and laugh with them. Someone must be willing to face up those challenges and harmoniously SAO says: "here we are Lord send us."

You do not have to go, SAO will, all we need from you is your priceless support and contribution to alleviate the sufferings. And harmoniously we can shout, "here we are Lord use us" and in return He will say: so “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” (Matthew 25:35-36, NIV)

All that is good, all that merit praises, and all that please the eyes and the hearts need to be the object of our thoughts and actions. This endeavor to help the needy in rural Haiti is a noble cause. As it is being done with love and compassion and the desire to provide a better future to the poverty-stricken families of Haiti, your help and support of any kind will be greatly appreciated.
