Meet our Starfish Staff
Madam Jonathan, Pastor Migueloson, Jeneen Aspden

Madam Jonathan has a loving husband named Jonathan and two sons, Samuel (12) and Christopher (7). Both boys attend Cowman School. M’ Jonathan has been working with Starfish Kids (SFK) for 12 years. She serves full time, five days a week. Her job is to take photos of the children for sponsorships, order school books, and train the teachers and staff at the schools. Her prayer for the ministry is for many people to support the children. She ask for unity in SFK and good communications with pastors, churches, and schools. 
 Pastor Migueloson Alcius, current pastor of Institution Grace en Sion, Cite du / Peuple #1, 236 students in Primary school. 
Pastor Migueloson, says, “I have a beautiful family of six. Yousman, 22; Miguel, 10; Abigail, 9; Lydia, 7; and his wife, Odiane.
Pastor Migueloson is the pastor of Institution Grace en Sion, Cite Du Peuple #1. The school has 236 students. His wife, Odiane also serves at the church and school. Grace Church in Pennsylvania partners with Grace en Sion. OMS missionaries Kate Zlotnicki and Janeen Aspden are members of the church as well. 
Pastor M. started working with OMS in November 1999. He learned about OMS while he was a student of medicine. He started visiting a church that had a pastor that studied with him. This pastor challenged Pastor M. to do more for God.
One night Pastor M. had two dreams. In the first dream, a spirit tried to cover him. When he awoke, he cried out because it was a bad spirit. In the second dream, the same spirit tried to cover him. He used Psalm 23 to fight off the spirit. He realized in the first dream, he was fighting in his own strength. The second time the spirit came, it was by God’s power and Scripture that he was victorious over it.
He knew if he continued to study medicine, it would be by his own strength, but if he changed his studies to theology, it would be by God’s. 
After his dream, he tried to go to Emmaus Biblical Seminary, but it was difficult with no money. 
He had wanted to be a doctor, not a pastor. He started to walk to school because he didn’t have money for tap tap. A stranger gave him 250 gds, so he knew he had to walk by faith. He took the test for EBS, and he scored very high and was able to attend. He started working with ECC planting churches. He finished his work with ECC in March. In July 2000, he started working with Starfish Kids. 
Pastor M. now works with SFK three days a week and continues his ministry at Grace en Sion.
His dream for SFK is to have all students that graduate 2nd level schools come to work at a church.  Most importantly, that they come to know Jesus.
For more information on Janeen, see the January 25, 2018 blog.  
Our SFK ministry would love for you to come and enjoy a Vacation Bible School (VBS) with one of our schools.  Here are some photos from the latest VBS.



Please cover the SFK ministry in your prayers and ask God to see if he is calling you into a partnership with one of our students. If you feel led to join us, please consider the gift of a Christian education to a Haitian child today. Go to https://onemissionsociety.org/give/starfish-kids for more information and to give.
