"Their job here is to save lives and they have. But ask anyone of them, from any country, if they've done enough- and the answer would be a uniform 'no.'"

Aside from the heart-rending images of devastation that have been emerging from Haiti over the past two weeks, there is one very inspiring, living picture that has taken shape.

FOX News reporter Orlando Salinas described it well in his January 20th blog:

"I'm talking to Commander Jim Campbell with 'red alert global' who tells me there are nearly 50 nations represented here at this camp which sits just off the Port-au-Prince international airport, about 500 yards or so," writes Salinas.

"I'm listening to a mish-mash of languages; many are just one or two words I hear, which are then quickly drowned out by another unrecognizable cacophony of sounds.

"These search and rescue teams from around the world, they don't speak the same language and yet they move in one accord."

Even as the sad fact that "search and rescue" must change to "recovery" efforts; teams from China, Israel, Jamaica, Australia, Dominican Republic, France, America, the UK and all the other nations represented, continue to press on doing all they can to help these impoverished and suffering people.

Among that world humanitarian endeavor is another inspiring picture of unity; the many different faith-based organizations that have "boots on the ground" working together to distribute water, food and medical supplies—in the name of the Lord—to the earthquake survivors.

Even outside of the island of Hispaniola, people—strangers—are working together to organize help for Haiti.

Hubert Harriman, President of World Gospel Mission, recently noted in a report about communities coming together to help Haiti, "Seeing the transformation of a community as organizations and businesses partner together is phenomenal. Our efforts take on an exponential strength when they are fused with the efforts of others in our community. We are stronger united."

Throughout the numerous blogs and reports coming out of Haiti, however, is the unfortunately consistent theme of not enough ways to get the relief supplies to those who desperately need them.

It's a direction for those of us at home to head in prayer.

In another account, reporter Salinas describes one Jamaican officer who—helping with relief efforts, but frustrated with the lack of transport for supplies—"marched into a UN off-site compound" and saw a couple UN workers "sitting idle."

That's when he "organized" the workers, leading them on a 10-mile trip into the outlying area over rough terrain to a place where no aid had yet reached.

Writes Salinas: "For this Jamaican officer, this event was horrible enough. And the logjam of supplies sitting idle in the airport infield had finally gotten the best of him. On this day, he was barking orders. Ordering his Jamaican troops to set up a perimeter as the troops began to unload this precious cargo. Women and small children would be the first to get their first delivery of supplies since the quake last week. And they did. Water, food and even a triage clinic set up under a tin roof and plastic lawn chairs…"

So, the multi-national relief effort to Haiti continues, and the tiny nation still needs our prayers, and practical help, as aftershocks continue to shake that western half of the island of Hispaniola.
