2013 Walk-A-Thon Sylvia and Mireya cooking class
Dear friends,
Hallelujah!!
I hope all is well with you. Greetings from Rainbow Family!
I am pleased to introduce new family members—24 year old Sylvia and her 4 year old daughter Mireya. Sylvia came to the United States as a young girl with her family from Mexico. Even before she was born, Sylvia’s family had a long history of involvement in the drug trafficking trade. Many of her family members have been killed or incarcerated. She always thought that she had to live as her family members did, and knew no other options. Now she has found a new way of life in Christ. She thanks God for teaching her a new path, and for showing her His will in life. She is even more grateful because she recently regained custody of her daughter, and attributes this blessing to His grace. Would you pray with me so that she will feel the love of God and experience His goodness so she can make a new life for herself and her daughter, breaking a generational pattern, to live as a creation of His good purpose?
On April 6th, we held our annual Walk-A-Thon. All of the Rainbow Family—mothers and children included—participated. Hannah and her friends, a group of volunteers from Grace Korean Church Youth Group, joined us for a 50-block walk around the neighborhoods of Buena Park. After the walk, we shared a great meal and fellowship. I wish to thank all of the donors who sponsored walkers this year from the bottom of heart.
I also wish to thank our friends and donors for your love and prayers.
Your support enables me to lead these families to a new way of life. I experience daily the miracle of His will on earth, as it is in heaven. I cannot express my gratitude to you enough.
We have a cooking class we all enjoy and look forward to very much. Mrs. Cho Kun Hee comes to us with all different types of healthy menus for us and our children. Prior to these lessons, ladies in the home mostly used the microwave to prepare convenient meals for their children. Thanks to Mrs. Cho, the ladies are learning the value of cooking from scratch, and are preparing healthier meals for themselves and their children. The entire Rainbow Family is grateful to Mrs. Cho for her efforts.
We are preparing to operate a summer school this summer. We have made arrangements with the Principal at Centralia Elementary School to provide summer school programming for a number of low-income children. The purpose of this partnership is to provide safe and nurturing educational opportunities to children who are otherwise at risk during the summer months. I need your help to make this program a success. We need many volunteers, and even more prayers. Won’t you support this new project?
Proverbs27:18
“He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.”
I pray May His resurrection power be with you and your church, family, ministry, and workplaces always.
Because he lives,
