Awesome Leadership

Rome East Stake

One of my jobs is to seek out agencies that serve the refugees and migrants and try to set up projects to help them.

Yesterday, I emailed one stake president with an opportunity to serve in his area.  That could be problematic, as church leaders are SOOO busy and adding one more responsibility - for thousands of needy people - could overwhelm.

But, this was the response I received:

Thank you so much for this contact and for the opportunity to make a difference. I have been wondering for a long time, how the xxxxxxx stake may contribute to these relief efforts and serve those people. Now it seems like we will have the chance.

We will assign someone today or tomorrow to lead through these efforts and coordinate all actions with Sxxxx and you.

Is this an urgent issue and how fast do we have to react/get aid kits in place? How fast can you react on these request by delivering them to us? Is everything already available?

Thanks again for contacting me. I am willing and devoted to serve the needy – and this is true for the members of our stake!

We are truly blessed to have leaders whose hearts are prepared for the work.
