Dear Friends                                                                                                                                                   

Hallelujah!!

I wish peace and health to all our supporters who are under the grace of the Lord, who transcends all difficult circumstances. Healing from the Lord’s grace and from the Word of God, Rainbow Family offers our monthly greetings in the name of the Lord. 

Good Community Church where deacon Sylvia Kim served as the chairman of the Board of directors in the past, and 11th cell group brought to us many necessities and gifts to the children. They also gave gift cards to the moms and donations to the Ministry. We are so thankful that they provided us with 7 brand new computers so that students in the afterschool program can use them for homework and additional Zoom classes we are extremely grateful. 

We sincerely thank the Good Community Church for the love and support and encouragement.

On August 3rd we had a RFI Summer School graduation ceremony. This year we had a total of 17 students who graduated with the gospel fastened to their hearts. With the school supplies and backpacks provided by Deacon Young Gil Kim of Il shin Presbyterian Church and the brand new sneakers from Elder Jong Doo Park, of Calvary church the students attended the first day of the school. I pray in thanksgiving that the Lord may remember the goodness of those who provide to those who have nothing and no hope. We were able to successfully host math, English, art therapy, and cooking classes in our summer school programs with the help from Director Jung-Hwa Lim and her volunteers. We would also like to give additional thanks to the Las Vegas Happiness Church for providing us with prayers and support. I am especially grateful for Young-Sook Shin, a Korean traditional musical artist, for coming to teach the children jang-gu and drum. There was a wonderful time of playing folk music and sharing in each other’s culture and customs with the gayageum performance. 

We thank the Lord for working together for good in family of God and we also thank all our supporters for their passion.

On August 10th, Centralia elementary School, Orange view Middle School, and Western High School all opened and RFI after school program has since started.

As I mentioned in the last letter, I sold my car for the missionary expenses, making transportation very difficult and uncomfortable. One supporter who read the letter provided the perfect car for us. I sincerely thank the Lord who listens to even the smallest of discomforts and for the supporter who takes after the Lord’s heart. Praise the Lord!!

With your encouragement and passionate hearts, we will do our best to dedicate our lives to spreading the gospel. Thank you so much. Glory to GOD!!

1Timothy 1:16

“But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.”

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

       2021 Summer School               Casey Family               Christina & Lily

Dear, Friends    Hallelujah!!

How have you been during this warm weather? 

Thankful in the Lord’s grace, Rainbow Family offers our monthly greetings.

Due to the pandemic, our after school and summer program dedicated to low income and single mother families reopened for the first time in almost 2 years. There are 19 students attending this year. Our summer school program that has been running for 10 years will only be held for a month this year due to financial shortcomings.  From August 10th, we will continue with the afterschool program. During our summer school program, we were able to lead and improve our local community with the gospel. We sincerely bow our heads in thanksgiving. 

We would like to introduce a new family. Casey is a 26 years old single mother with her 3 year old daughter, Jamiese and her 2 year old son, Janiyan. Casey was born in an Indian Village in Michigan to a Korean father and American Indian mother. Thus, her surname is Yang. After a constant battle with drug use, her mother passed away 2 years ago from drug overdose. She shared that she had been in and out of prison because of her drug addiction. After seeing the changes in her brother’s life, she followed him to California and after having found a place to settle with us, she returned to Michigan to bring her children. I pray that as she lives in this Christian Community she will be able to be born again with the love of Christ. Please pray with me for her and her children’s Brand new life.

Christina, who we mentioned last month, because she is finally able to spend time with her daughter Lily whenever she wants she give all the Glory to God. Praise the Lord!!

Just as everyone is slowly recovering from the pandemic, Rainbow Family is also recovering. There were times when we thought we had to close our doors. During these difficult times, I sold my car to overcome tight financial positions. If any of our supporters have a car that is not in use, please consider donating it to the Rainbow Family it would be a great help.!! We will be happy to give you a tax exemption for the car.

Isaiah 61:3

“And provide for those who grieve in Zion- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.”

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!!

Rainbow family wishes you good health and peace in the grace of the Lord who transcends all earthly Circumstances. Under the umbrella of His grace and gift of scripture, our Rainbow Family that is going through a healing process in which we are abundant in freedom and in Thanksgiving would like to offer our greetings to you and yours. 

Last month, 28 year old single mother Lexus and her two sons, Mason who is 8 years old and Isaiah who is 6 years old, joined our family. Lexus shared that her family is still living in an Indian Village in South Dakota. She also shared that she has two daughters, but due to addiction complications are currently with their father. She hasn’t seen them for a long time. Last week, she was able to bring back her sons who were being cared for by her mother. She is very thankful that the Lord led her to our ministry as she is able to live with her children. With a grateful heart, she has accepted the Lord as her Savior. I thank the Lord who utilizes our precious supporters and our ministry. We ask for prayers and support for Lexus’s family. 

I would like to introduce 28 year old single mother, Christina. She suffered from addiction because it was so hard for her to spend time away with her daughter who is already 15 and lived with her father. She shared how she met a wonderful person at church and was able to live with them. However, when she wanted to bring her daughter, they suggested that she move out. She prayed earnestly to the Lord asking Him to guide her to a place where she can live with her daughter. Due to Covid restrictions, she was only recently able to join our family. She is constantly giving thanks to the Lord who provided the space for her to live with her daughter. We are in desperate need of support and prayers. 

Additionally, 29 year old single mother Lauren has also joined our family. She shared she is originally from Tennessee and had lost everything due to her addiction problems. In the second week of July, she is going back to Tennessee to see if it is possible to bring her kids back to California with her. We ask for all your prayers. 

I have been in this ministry for 20 years, and I have learned that everyone, regardless of skin color, language, or age, needs a savior. I also learned that the Lord wants to use those of us who have already been saved to save others who have yet accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. I praise the Lord who uses friends like you and myself as a channel of blessing. 

As we are starting our Summer and After School Program on July 8th, we ask all our supporters for material donations and prayers. Thank you!! 

2 Corinthians 6:10

“sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.”

Dear Friends,

Hallelujah!!

Rainbow family wishes you good health and peace in the grace of the Lord who transcends all earthly Circumstances. Under the umbrella of His grace and gift of scripture, our Rainbow Family that is going through a healing process in which we are abundant in freedom and in Thanksgiving would like to offer our greetings to you and yours.

For Easter, the mothers hid eggs and gifts inside and outside the house, saying that the person who finds it can claim it as his or hers. Likewise, they taught the children that those who call upon Jesus and seek his kingdom can possess heaven. I am thankful that the Lord became hope for those who do not have hope and confidence in this world. But above all, I praise the Lord for providing eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Calvary Chino Hills Church, who served our neighbors in need last Christmas, visited us with Rainbow Family’s favorite food, daily necessities, and dinner. We are so grateful that they still served their neighbors in need, despite these difficult times. Thank you!!

A longtime supporter of Rainbow Family, Las Vegas Happiness Church had visited us. The pastors and the youth group spent the night with us. There was much loved shared amongst everyone. We also had the opportunity to pray together for a safer America. I am especially grateful to Las Vegas Happiness Church for their dedication to supporting and praying for a crime free society.

On Saturday, May 22nd at 10am, there will be a Walk-A-Thon starting from our mission center in Buena Park. We will be walking 50 blocks around the neighborhood. Indicating the name of the individual that will be supported, please send your pledge along with support coupon.I thank you from bottom of my heart.

we need your help!!

To the Lord who became hope to those who had neither hope nor anything, we thank Him and praise Him for allowing them to possess eternal life, that which is precious above all. We sincerely thank our friends for your prayers and support that we are continually able to pursue the Lord’s mission without the help of government subsidies.

Isaiah 41:10

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

                      Jocelyn                                           Sharing day                                  Vanessa Family

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.

I would like to introduce 25 year old Jocelyn who was sent to us. Jocelyn suffered greatly due to drug abuse, and she also shared that she grew up under single mother with her brother. The year she turned 3, her parents divorced and thus she always finds herself to be lonely. When our gentle and loving Jocelyn found out she was pregnant she joined a rehabilitation center for 60 days to quit drugs. After she completed her rehabilitation program, she joined our Rainbow Family. Although she has a long way to go she has accepted Jesus Christ as her savior. We are supporting her rehabilitation education and bible study. Even though it is Jocelyn’s first time reading the bible, she is struck in awe by the many statements of truth. We ask for your prayer and support for Jocelyn who is holding steadfast to the love of Christ.

Vanessa and her 3 children who have been living with us for 2 years and 6 month have moved to an apartment with their grandmother who has moved from Kansas. As Vanessa, the children, and I were very close to each other, it hurts my heart to see them go. But I put their future in the hands of the Lord and pray with all my heart for the peace of her family.

Once a month, we are distributing food and household items to our neighbors in need. This time, we were able to share a many 20 pound bags of rice given by the Korean Christian Radio Station, the food provided by the Ilshin Presbyterian Church, and the household items that were given by our friends like you. For families that did not have cars or who walked and difficulty coming to us, we delivered the items to them. Even in the United States, there are many families that are in need. All of this ministry is possible because of our friends 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.

Because He lives,

Liz Lee
