Resurrection day                               Online classes                            Loving the neighbors

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.

This Easter, Mothers hid eggs gifs all throughout the inside and outside of the house and explained that the person who found an egg and gifs became the owner. They further explained to the students that whoever calls on the name of the Lord and searches for Him could possess heaven. 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.

Due to our current tribulation, mothers Vanessa and Bella along with the children are currently studying through classes that are provided online. Although different grades operate on different schedules, our manager Veronica has been exceptional as she has been leading this process under her supervision.

While praying for the children of RFI after school program, the Holy Spirit has helped us to share household materials, masks, and food to the children’s needed families. When they came without even thinking to keep their distance, the children did not hesitate to share hugs with their friends that they missed dearly. I was drawn to tears from their lovely interactions. For families who couldn’t come, we made sure to visit them and supply them with the food and household goods. Although no one is sure of how long this situation is to last, I promised to contact them as we gather more food and supplies for them. I thank you from bottom of my heart.

I give all thanks and glory to the faithful Lord that he has given us the opportunity during this difficult time to pray and serve one another other and share love. I pray and believe that the Lord will remember your heart and your deeds and provide you with infinite blessings.

 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.”

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

Because He lives,

 “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.

The moms in our home have immersed themselves in the rehabilitation process and living healthy lives under God’s grace and His word. The almighty and Resurrected Lord who could have avoided the cost of the cross by calling army of angels and saved himself but he endured the cross for us. I praise him for giving us the opportunity to be resurrected within him. As our Rainbow Family members possess the power of the resurrection and strive to live our lives as new creation in Christ as fear and trembling we work in our salvation daily.

The Irvine Musician Charity Foundation has visited our ministry and RFI students have started a music therapy program. How precious it is to see the volunteers desiring to comfort broken souls through music. I thank the Lord for these young men who are to become the light for our younger generations. Thank you!!

The DTS evangelism team brought our children’s favorite meal and presented the gospel to us through a play of the scene on Golgotha Hill. They showed the scene of Christ Jesus dying in order that our sins may be forgiven and have also prayed for our children to accept Jesus as their Lord and savior. We were all moved by their passion and love for the gospel. Thank you so much.

Our afterschool students who live in motels get their breakfast and lunch at school and have dinner with us in the evenings. However due to the virus, we are currently unable to open up the school. I miss them so much and wonder they are eating…. wonder they are health…. My heart aches as I remember and think about the children.

Please pray with me for their well – being in such a time as this.

At this complicated and heartbreaking time, the Lord is protecting us as we set ourselves apart from the world through prayer and faith. Even during these times, I realize the Lord’s providence as he allows his people to keep their faith and serve their neighbors. I give thanks as I hope for a victorious life in Him.

We sincerely pray for the health of you and your families to our resurrected and faithful Lord.

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,”

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!!

How are you doing during this season of harsh weather changes?

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.

I would like to introduce a family we received last month: Esther, a 28years old single mother, and her 3 month old new born son, Sunwoo. Esther, who never got an opportunity to know her mother, she was born in Southern California and was raised by her father and grandmother. In addition to Sunwoo, Esther has a daughter and a son who is living with their father. As she mentioned that she was unable to see their faces for a year, we made it possible so that she can see her children on the weekends. I thank the Lord for utilizing our Rainbow Family as a passage of blessing and giving us the capabilities to do things that seem impossible or difficult. Never having seen the bible, Esther lived life without any thought or meaning. However, now as she figured out where she belonged, she provides us with her testimony that she felt a sense of peace she never had and thus holds the bible dear to her heart. Because she was raised without a mother, Esther grew up never once being embellished or dressed-up. However, her mind is beyond beautiful and I thank the Lord for sending us such a charming daughter of Christ. I ask of fervent prayer and support for both Esther and her son.

Deacon Sun Ja Jung, a server at church Cerritos, holds their monthly prayer meetings at our Rainbow Family home. In addition to serving the Rainbow Family School kids food, they also serve all the families living at home dinner. I genuinely thank the prayer group who serve with such kindness and also by providing us with much needed supplies.

A.W. So. West L.A. meeting, we received a 15 passenger van as a donation. As our family members were increasing, we had to constantly utilize many Volunteer’s vehicles for transportation. However, now we able to efficiently transport R.F.I School kids along with all our mothers and children in the home. I bless the ladies at the A.W. So. West L.A. meeting for their compassion and love and deeply thankful for all that they have provided us with.

Praise the Lord for allowing us to meet people in timely manners in which we are able to strongly carry out His mission and His will.

 Luke 6:38

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over,

will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.””

 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!

 “Praise the Risen Lord!!.”

Dear Friends

Hallelujah!!

I hope and pray all is well with you and yours.

I would like to introduce a new family that came last month: Lorena Sanchez, a 32 year old single mother, and her two children, Giselle who is 10 years old and Melanin who is 7 years old. Although Lorena had 6 children, she was forced to leave them in the care of her mother due to drug addiction that prevented her from living a normal life. Because of a deportation order, the father of the kids was sent to Mexico. With a burdened heart that struggled through many tribulations. I am so glad Lorena came to Rainbow home to find refuge but we have lots of work to do.  I ask for much  prayers.

Kyung Mee Lee, RFI board of director, and her AW L.A group have held their prayer meeting at our home. I was moved and challenged through their dedicated passion in helping out their neighbors. We were able to spend a wonderful time in where we had the opportunity to be thankful for the individual visions that the Lord has assigned to us. I believe that the Lord will fulfill His will and that beautiful fruit will be bared through our joined strength in Him.

In honor of our 15th anniversary, Rainbow Family will be hosting a Thanksgiving Music Festival on Sunday of March 11th at 5 P.M. The location will be at the corner of the streets of Knotts Ave. and Crescent Ave. at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. In order to thank God that for his grace, love, and blessing and also churches, supporters, and various groups, we would like to invite you and your friends and family to come celebrate with us on this beautiful night.

“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” 1 Peter 1:3

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!

Dear Friends,

I would like to introduce a new family that joined us last month.

6 months pregnant 33 year-old single mother, Jennifer and her 4 year old son Mason are currently living with us. In hopes of abandoning a life full of addiction, Jennifer had an argument with the father of her kids who was involved in the selling of drugs. Subsequently, the kid’s father tried to hurt her and she managed to tell me that she was able to escape her death. Although she mentioned that both her parents were Christian and that she also grew up in the church, she also stated that she never met her natural father but she grew up with brothers and sisters of mother’s second marriage. Due to this living situation, she felt lonely and also that her presence was insignificant. I ask for prayers and support so that Jennifer and her kids will get healed through experiencing the abundant love of God.

Last month, Rainbow Family held our 15th anniversary Thanksgiving Music Festival. Directors, various pastors, Bethel praise team, and many supporters were able to join us at the Calvary Presbyterian church where Pastor Kim Jung Chan preaches. I would like to genuinely thank Pastor Kim Jung Chan and the church members who provide us with the space and lovely food each year. I would also like to thank everyone who joined us that evening.

I would like to return all the glory to God and thank you for provide an endless prayers and support and allow Rainbow Family to proclaim the kingdom of God on this earth.

Easter day this year, we held a worship service with all the family members and the fathers of the children living in our home. After the gathering and worship, we all shared a lovely Easter meal. Even families that did not know Jesus had a time to welcome Him as their savior. I would like to thank His endless grace once more.

Isaiah 61:1

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,^”

I pray and bless that above your family, church, business, and ministry, the power of the Resurrection will allow for making all things prosperous.

Because He lives,
