Manse and her son                     Pastor Young                                  Rainbow Family

 Dear friends

Hallelujah!!

How have you been doing? Desiring to live by the word of God, Rainbow Family is offering our monthly greetings.

 I would like to introduce a family that has been sent to us last month: 18 year old single mother Manse and her one week old son, Jose. Living under a mother with severe drug addictions, Manse and her younger sister of two years lived very difficult lives. When Manse turned 7, her mother met a new boyfriend and left both Manse and her younger sister. She lived in several foster homes for more than 10years in which she also was separated with her sister. After few years later she was arrested and in and out of Detention centers. Having no one to lean on, she told us that she found comfort in her gang friends as they treated her like family. Having met her boyfriend in the gang, she was susceptible to physical abuse and even participated in theft and prostitution. Unfortunately, because all of the events that went around in her life, she was unable to even grade from middle school. After the father of her son went to jail, Manse went to her moms home ask for help but she wasn’t welcome . Through introduction of our Rainbow Family, Manse brought her newly born son and have been part of our Rainbow Family ever since. She was glad and stated that she would have come here earlier if she had known such a place existed. Desperate for love that she had been starving, Manse cries with overwhelming thanks when I ask simple questions like did you sleep well? Did you eat?

I pray and ask for support so that Manse and Jose will be able to succeed and be healed by the love of God.

 Rainbow Family Residence and Rainbow after school members areincreasing and we are having trouble keeping up with the monthly financial obligations that are involved with maintenance and living costs. We are heavily relying on God, and friends like you for prayers and support. Thank you!!

 You will be able to sponsor one family for $500.

I would like to genuinely thank our friends for donating, whether in large or small amounts, and for praying for our Rainbow Family.

 Pastor Young Tae Kim from Mission 3:18 church and his wife have visited us and brought us a delightful lunch. I would like to thank the church members and the pastor and his wife for always being a source of encouragement to our single mothers and their children.

 James1:27

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

 I pray and bless that the grace and the blessing of peace will always be present in your families, churches, businesses, and ministries.

DearFriends,

Hallelujah!!

I hope and pray all is well with you and yours in this changing of weather.

With a grateful heart that resides under God’s grace, Rainbow Family offers our greetings.

 On January 21st, we celebrated the first birthday of our cute Aiden (Sunwoo), Esther Kim’s baby boy who

joined our family last year in March when he was barely two months old. Through rehabilitation education and love, Esther Kim has gone through a lot of healing and improvement, but she still has moments when she is reminded of her painful past.

I would like to ask for prayers and support for Esther as she builds her self-esteem and marches faithfully and joyfully towards her future.

 There are 18 students that are attending R.F.I. after school program. They have grown so much in 7 years that we now have middle school students. It is wonderful to see the middle school kids volunteering their time and helping out younger students with their homework.All the children have memorized the Lord’s prayer and their heart for wanting to know more about the Lord is growing evermore. When the kids are told about stories in the bible, their hearts are filled with joy. Due to their growing curiosity and desire to know more, they are asking numerous questions about Jesus.

I give all the praise and glory to God. Hallelujah!!

 R.F.I. after school program, there have been some things that I have noticed among the kids. Rugged faces are now beaming with smiles and performances in schools have improved.

I pray that through God’s love, our kids can become even healthier and stronger second generation Christians and be great contributions to the Society in the future.

 I would like to deeply bow my head in thanksgiving to our faithful friends like you who are pushing for a more faithful future generation by supporting and serving our ministry.

 Ephesians2:10 “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

 I pray and bless that the grace and the blessing of peace will always be present in your families,churches, businesses, and ministries.

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 Friends,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 and look forward to the plans that God has in store for us in the year 2019.

For our 2018 Christmas Event, start with Pastor of Grace Bible Church David Lee’s praise offering and wonderful sermon. Unlike the past 16 years, we had approximately 100 guess, along with families who had already graduated from our residential Program. Despite the unexpected amount of visitors, the help and support toys provided by former State Legislator Young Kim, Yogurt land, Jennifer Jo, and M.C.C., allowed us to smoothly carry on with the event more bountiful and unforgettably. Groups like Future Leaders of America have also provided us with 30 blankets, diapers and gifts for the children. A Doctor Nuri Park that serves in Mission 318 Church, someone who has been personally involved in my life. Doctor Park and Mission 318 Church Pastor Yong Tae Kim and ladies from the congregation came from early morning to help prepare the meals for everyone at the event. Without leaving a single person out, we were able to provide everyone with gifts and proclaiming the love of Christ. I would like to return all the glory and praise to the Lord who has listened to our prayers and have allowed wonderful things to happen through friends like you.

 I know deep in my heart that endless help that was provided by all of you surely gain hope in underprivileged ladies and children’s lives and future.I thank you from the bottom of my heart with that grateful hart I promise that give my all in continuing to proclaim the Heaven on this earth.

 I would like to introduce a family that has been Came to us last month, 28years old Single mom Vanessa son Anthony, Dallas Daughter Isabelle. Vanessa, who was an orphan, has lived with us 8 years ago with her younger sister and her son Anthony, along with Isabelle. Although since then there has been very difficult trials, when children’s father when back to prison and she was going through hard time with her children on the street she said to herself I can always go to rainbow home in Buena park, brother park and I when to pick them up from long beach. Thank the Lord!

I pray that until Jesus comes, with your help Rainbow Familywill always be able to have our doors open wide for mothers and children like Vanessa who have lost their way.

 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,

Steadfast care of God we currently have 6 families in our home and each one is fighting hard and reigning victory in their spiritual battle. I thank the Lord for his faithful love and all our supporters who have provided us with endless prayers and material support in 2018.

Because of their support and love, we were able to provide for a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving meal for many families. I would genuinely like to thank everyone for their support.

She has been attending classes everyday and has been faithful in prayer as she plans out her new life. I want to thank the Lord for his compassion as He heals her pains during this process. This is the fruit of friends like you who have ceaselessly provided the moms and their children living in the RFM with your Love.

Thank you so much for your prayer and support.

 Children from Rainbow Family, who are anticipating for their gifts, are writing letters to Jesus.

Because I don’t want to disappoint them, I also have been praying for this.

 Please help me so that I may offer gifts to graduate families, neighbors and kids of our ministry.
