ministry that combines sponsorship with
education to deliver the Good News of the
Gospel. Approximately 800 children are
sponsored and receive school books, paid
tuition, and a Christian education in 30+
established schools within the Emmaus
Fellowship of Churches. Current donors
from the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. give
to sustain the ministry. Sponsored children
are asked to attend church, and as a result,
many of their families attend as well.
Today, the U.S. and Canada Starfish Kids
team, along with the Haitian staff, has been
working diligently to move the Starfish Kids
program forward to new levels of accuracy,
accountability, and growth. OMS missionary Janeen Aspden will serve in Haiti to help
oversee the ministry details on the ground.
Better information flow and documentation
between the U.S., Canada, and Haiti have
resulted in more timely and accurate information for donors, the children, the field,
and the coordinators.
Would you pray for the Starfish Kids
program and its growth, the children, their
families, and the OMS Starfish Kids team?
Pray that God will continue to use the ministry for his glory as children grow and flourish into beautiful examples of God’s grace.
We currently have more than 30 children
waiting to be sponsored. You could help
make a difference in the life of a child, and
perhaps their family and community, with
a sponsorship of just US$25 or CA$32 per
month! You can also be a part of a shortterm team and visit the children (even your
child) in their schools, an Emmaus church,
other OMS ministries, and the OMS campus in Haiti.
You really can make a difference—one
child at a time. If you are interested in
sponsoring a Starfish Kid, please contact us
at [email protected] for
more information. A child who needs your
help to attend school and hear the Good
News of Jesus is waiting for you.
