Dear Friends
Hallelujah!!
Families of RFI wish you a very happy new year with God’s grace and blessings!!
We are thankful for the Lord’s endless love and grace and we are ready to welcome the New year by offering our new year’s greetings to you and yours.
Through our supporters, various organizations, RFI board of directors, and numerous organization and churches, we were able to experience the abundance of God’s love and blessings. As we thank His wide river like grace, we look forward to the plans that God has in place for us in the year 2017.
For the 2016 Christmas event, families that have graduated RFI rehabilitation program came to visited us and about 70 or more RFI students and neighboring families have also showed up with children and enjoyed the meals that we have prepared. We were also able to pass out numerous gifts without missing a single person. We want to thank the friends, churches, foundations, and board of directors for the presents and various donations for the event. For almost 10 years the students studied outside underneath the tents and we had no choice but to host events and serve our guests outside, but for the 2016 Christmas event due the Lord’s grace and our supporter’s overwhelming support, we were able to host and share gifts and offer meals to our neighbors within the completed spacious building. I thank God for friends like you.
I would like to thank deacon Dongil Kim from Ilshin Presbyterian Church for supplying the RFI student’s with school supplies and Deacon Jennifer Cho and her family for providing us with generous contribution and for the gifts.
I would also like to genuinely thank Director Jung Hwa Lim of Livingstone community volunteer group and various volunteer groups and organizations for their hard efforts.
Through the endless prayers and all the supports from friends like you, we are encourage to start the New year with confidence and faith that you will partner with us to fulfill utmost capacities as we spread the Lord’s love.
Whether it is in season or out of season to spread the blessing and love of God to families and the societies that we live in. I believe in faith that your prayers and support will continue to fulfill the works of the Lord. Thank you!!
I thank you again for pouring out your love in the year 2016.
Isaiah 61:3
“To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”
To friends I offer my blessings and prayers that the Lord will fill your Lives with the bounties of heaven and the riches of the earth in the New Year.
Because He lives,
Liz Lee
Director of RFI
