 Steve Tumbleson joined the team for the Youth Conference this summer. This is his story about meeting his sponsored child at the Cazeau Orphanage.
People say miracles don’t happen anymore. I experienced God’s divine intervention one day this summer--it truly felt to me like a miracle. I was very excited about our visit to the orphanage.
What would he look like? What would I say? I was looking forward to meeting the boy we sponsor at the orphanage for the first time. The boy named Litan.

 This month’s “spotlighted” child is a precious little girl and a powerful reminder of how blessed we are to live in America. Perhaps we too quickly take for granted the amazing access we have to good food, clean water, and world class health care. This is not how life has been for Blandyne Jean. This is her story.
Like other children in Haiti, Blandyne lived with her family--her mother and a sister. She had another sister, an older one, but she passed away, Blandyne doesn’t remember why. Then her mother became seriously ill with uterine and breast cancer, an aggressive type which quickly deteriorated into stage four cancer; she soon died. Some neighbors and relatives stepped in to help, doing what they could to care for this little family of sisters.
Eventually, the neighbors came to the orphanage operated by Hope for Haiti’s Children and asked if Blandyne could be taken in; she was, in November of 2007. Shortly after, her sister Manouncheka also entered the orphanage—the sisters were reunited!
