Veronica’s Birthday          Small Group at Immanuel Church           Sharing Event

“Praise the Risen Lord!!”

Dear Friends,

Hallelujah!!

I hope and pray all is well with you and yours. The abundantly sprouting buds and the blooming flowers seem to be joining us in the praise of our Lord’s resurrection.

Veronica, who recently joined our family with her two kids, celebrated her 25th birthday with Rainbow Family. She is a good mother who tries to abide by the rules at the Home. Although she had a painful past, there have been many positive changes after receiving the Lord as her savior. With no lack in the world, she has been a healthy member of society. She continues to live at the Rainbow Family Home and is determined to learn the word of the Lord as she grows as a Christian with her children.

All glory to the good Lord who promises them victory.

I have received a lot of grace after visiting the small group at Immanuel Church, a longtime supporter of our ministry. We sincerely thank them for their generous support and prayers.

Our Rainbow Family continues to distribute food and daily necessities to those in need. This time we donated household items that were sent in by various donors and food that was donated from Orange County Korean Church. We delivered the food to families who walked without a car or could not come due to other circumstances. Even in the United States, there are too many families that are in need. All of these ministries are possible because of the wonderful supporters like you. We bow our heads in thanksgiving.

During these complicated and heartbreaking times, God has placed many faithful people like us who are not swayed by the things of the world. Even at such times as this,

I want to be able to realize the providence of our Father and protect my heart while serving our neighbors.

1Peter1:3

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”

To the supporters who thank the Lord’s grace and serve your neighbors, I pray and bless that above your family, church, business, and ministry, the Lord’s resurrection power that makes all things good and an army of angels will always be by your side.

  Rainbow Family after school        Michiko Family      Future Young Leaders of America

Dear friends,

Hallelujah!!

How are you during this season of harsh weather changes? 

Striving to live by the Word and the Lord’s grace, Rainbow Family is offering our monthly greetings.

I would like to introduce 40 year old single mother Michiko and her 3 month old daughter. Michiko was born in Fukuoka and has a 19 year old son from her first marriage. 

Due to her difficult circumstances, she left Japan and went to Macao where she met a Pakistani man and got pregnant. They came to the United States but due to domestic abuse, Michiko ended up giving birth in a government shelter.

Because she is an illegal immigrant, the government could not help further and so she joined our Rainbow Family ministry.

Because of the language barriers, there are some difficulties, not too long ago, she accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior and is attending church. We return the glory to God who is guiding her every step of the way.

Our Rainbow Family after school program started again last month. Currently there are 14 students from Centralia Elementary School that are participating in our program.

I am very grateful that we are able to see one another in a healthy state.

Our volunteers and parents from Future Young Leaders of America visited our rainbow home and donated daily necessities for our families. We would like to genuinely thank everyone for the abundant prayers and donations. 

We are genuinely thankful for all the donations, both big and small, and the prayers that you have provided us with. We bow our head in thanksgiving for the cooperation of various churches, prayers and love from various ministries, and the material donations. I give all the glory to the living and faithful Lord.  

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 that the power of resurrection of our Lord Jesus will be with you, your family, and your church always and God bless you!

Because He lives,

Dear friends

Hallelujah!!

Magpie, Magpie’s new year’s day was yesterday and our, our new year’s day is today…[translated Korean song for Korean New Year] 

How are you doing in the midst of harsh weather changes? 

Indebted in love and pursuing a new life in the Lord, Rainbow Family offers our monthly greetings.

I would like to introduce a family that joined us last month: 29 year old single mother Marisa and her 2 year old daughter for Marisa and her daughter Leanne. 

Marisa’s mother and father were separated due to her mother’s drug addictions. Born to a wandering mother, she spent most of her childhood in foster care. There were moment mother and Marisa lived in a shelter when she was out of prison. Her mother passed away early after her health deteriorated due to her addiction to drugs. Afterwards, Marisa realized that she was walking the same path as her mother. She joined Rainbow Family in order to be with her daughter Leanne again who is in foster care. She has accepted Jesus Christ as her savior and is working hard in her rehabilitation program. We ask for support and prayers

24 year old single mother Veronica and her 5 year old son David and 2 year old daughter Emma have also joined our Rainbow Family. Veronica shared that she left home at an early age due to her drug addiction. Afterwards she met the father of her children who was constantly in jail. She left her kids in her mother’s care and started living on aimlessly. Due to this the government got involved and limited her time with the kids to 3 days a week. However, with her participation in our rehabilitation program and the constant drug tests, she may be able to live with her children from April. Even though she has never read the bible before she has accepted Jesus as her savior and she is attending daily bible studies and church on a regular basis. 

Daniel, a very talented boy scout, volunteered for Rainbow Family School in the previous year. He stopped by occasionally and became a good friend to our children. Last month, along with his boy scout friends, Daniel prepared materials to create two wonderful picnic tables for us. The tables have served multiple purposes for eating, doing homework, and playing. I would like to bow down in thanksgiving for Daniel’s genuine heart in serving and everyone who worked hard to create the tables. 

The Rainbow Family was miraculously sustained by our supporter’s prayers and monetary donations. We ask you to join forces with us to help Rainbow Family become a true place of refuge for those who are hurt and marginalized through monetary donations and prayers. 

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.”

We pray that the protection, hope, and peace of the Lord will always be with you who constantly provide to neighbors in need with outstretched arms. We bless that you will be filled with spiritual things of heaven and the fertile things of the earth.

 Crystal’s Family                         Christmas 2021            Young Leaders of America

             Happy New Year!!

Dear friends

Hallelujah!!

Thankful for the Lord’s infinite love and grace, Rainbow Family offers greetings for the New Year.

This past Christmas with the help of our steadfast supporters, churches, and organizations, we were able to experience the abundance of the Lord’s love and blessings. 

Grateful for his overwhelming grace, we look forward to the Lord’s plans for 2022.

The 2021 Christmas event was blessed with Calvary Presbyterian Church Pastor Kwang Soo Lee’s sermon, Grace Korean Church’s worship, and Calvary Presbyterian Church Pastor Jeong chan Kim’s blessings. 

Unlike the past 19 years, approximately 70 people including our neighbors and many families of Rainbow family program graduates came to celebrate and receive gifts. With the special help and donations of Calvary Presbyterian Church, Immanuel Presbyterian Church, Grace Korean Church, Young Leaders of America, Jennifer Cho, Dr. John Lee, Won-Hak Kim, Jong-Doo Park, Dong-gil Kim, Director Jenny, Jinny, Kyung, and all our supporters, every single person returned home with a gift. We were able to eat to our heart’s content and celebrate the Lord’s birthday with a feast that was prepared by the small group of Grace Korean church. 

We praise the Lord of love for always working the miracle of 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Hallelujah!!

We would like to introduce 32 years old Crystal and her 18month old son Konnor who joined us last month. Crystal shared that she was born to a mother who struggled with drug addiction and was thus entrusted in the hands of her grandmother. Since her grandmother served and attended a Baptist church, Crystal has been attending church since she was young. She also graduated from a Baptist High School. Even though she knew a lot about the bible, she wasn’t able to create a relationship with Jesus because of the wounds in her heart. She met her son’s father when she was committing crimes and gave birth to her son. However, she ended up giving her son up for adoption due to her drug addictions and visits to prison. Konnor is her second son and his father is in prison. Crystal is also on probation and can only visit her son twice a week. Crystal became involved with our home through the Probation officer, but she is eager to meet all the requirements in order to keep her son. We ask for prayers and support so that Konnor can live with his mother as soon as possible. 

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.”

We pray that the protection, hope, and peace of the Lord will always be with you who constantly provide to neighbors in need with outstretched arms. We bless that you will be filled with spiritual things of heaven and the fertile things of the earth.

For working mothers, we delivered the turkeys and side dishes to their houses.

The Rainbow Family children are writing letters to the Lord exchanging gifts, I definitely do not want to disappoint them. Please help me so that I will be able to provide gifts for our RFI families and the families who have graduated from our program in previous years. Thank you!!

Let your light shine before men, and let them see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Just as this verse states, let others see the father’s faithfulness and love through your works as you help us during this Christmas event.
