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

I would like to introduce a family who joined us last month: Patience a 27 year old single mother and her daughter Noraya who just turned two months old.  While Patience was enduring great hardships when her

Daughter  Noraya was taken away from her by the children Protective Services, she was introduced to

Rainbow Family by her friend. After the interview, the children Protective Services agreed to let the child be with her mother under our supervision and care. Please support this family with prayers and financial support  so that both Patience and her beautiful daughter may recover and heal through the Lord’s genuine love and live triumphant lives.

Just like Jesus came down to Earth to save one soul, our ministry and friends like you are saving the lost and

wandering souls.  I would like to thank you sincerely for partaking in this mission and journey with me.

This RFI Summer School, which have been continue for two and a half months, in the last 2 days of summer School we had pleasure to join with Youth Ministry of Il shin Presbyterian church. They came to our home and allowed RFI children to participate in VBS. The youth Ministry that lead by Pastor Young Park had an overwhelming passion that transferred onto many of our students. Their fervent passion allowed for miracles to occur as students and neighbors were able to accept the Christ as their savior. I would like to genuinely thank senior Pastor Hyo Sung Ahn and his wife and Il shin Church Women’s Group for their love.

Dear Friends

Hope you are doing well in this warm summer weather.

Greetings to you from Rainbow family in the name of our Lord.

This summer, taking care of 27 kids in Rainbow summer school has been an arduous task and I must admit there are times when I suffer both physically and emotionally. However in the midst of all the people in the world, I am thankful to the point of tears that as a lacking person as I am I have been assigned to share his love and gospel. And through doing his will, Lord gave a compassionate heart that ultimately overcame my weakness Praise the Lord!!.

I would like to introduce a new family, 45 year old single mother Raquel and 13year old daughter Mia. Although there was a time when Raquel was in the rehabilitation process with Rainbow Family for over an year when her daughter Mia was not even two years old, since then she received a lot of hardships for being a single mother and has returned to our Home. Please keep their futures in your prayers. Thank you !.

Although there were more students in the year 2017 than any other year for our summer school program, but director Lim Jung Hwa and her 13 volunteers were of great help as they taught many subjects including English, Math, Music, Art. The Volunteers parents have also helped out by offering delicious meals to kids who grew up in difficult environments, donating material goods, and sharing their love. I thank the Lord for them.

A long time supporter of Rainbow Family, Director Joo from Sunny Foundation and Many members came and offered wonderful meals to our Rainbow summer school students and took care of the kids with love.

In addition to that, Good Shepherd Church, Calvary Presbyterian Church, Il shin Presbyterian Church, and Immanuel Baptist Church have consistently visited us, donated material goods and prayed for our students and the Rainbow Families.

Mrs. Soo Lee has also visited Rainbow Family just as same as every year without fail and has supported us with funds and immense love. I bow my head in thanksgiving for all the love that was provided by our supporters.

I praise the Lord for blessing us with beautiful friends like you.  Glory to God !!

As an extension of the all year round after school program for the low income families in our community, Summer School has started. This year we have 27 students in the summer school program. Because of financial issues, these single mother families are facing many hardships. But fortunately, help from friends like you Rainbow Family is able to confidently hold the torch in the front lines and serve as a leader for the efforts in community improvement.

In our Rainbow Family home, there are 6 families that are residing with us. The family that joined us last month was Norma, a 43-year-old single mother, and her 9-year-old daughter, Bianca. Due to addiction, Norma and the father of her daughter resorted to selling drugs of which they got  jail sentence for. Bianca’s father parted ways and therefore made it difficult to know his whereabouts for many years. Norma, full of anxiety, has been in shelters, rehabilitation centers, and jail. Because of this she was forced to stay distant and away from her daughter. She confesses she has never felt such joy of waking up with her daughter and eat breakfast together every day. Every morning during bible study, she thanks the Lord for giving her a second chance in life.

Please pray and support for Norma and Bianca’s new beginning.

34-year-old Veronica, along with her 12-year-old daughter, Jenavi, 9-year-old daughter, Angelina, and Aldo who just celebrated his first birthday, have joined our Rainbow Family last month. Amidst the hardship that Veronica and her children’s father faced due to their addiction to drugs, her young children were taken from her. She went through the rehabilitation program and she could get her children back from the children protective services. Even their father is going through the process at the rehabilitation and is making progress. Veronica is steadily making great progress as she is reading the bible, hoping that she will be able to marry children’s father in the future and live out the life that God had planned for her and the children. Please pray for Veronica that her life may be prosperous.

I want to deeply thank you from bottom of my heart for your prayers and support as it had allowed Rainbow home to become a refuge and shelter for single mothers and their children .

Ephesians 2:10

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

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

During the construction process of expanding our Home, the playground had to be taken out. Thankfully enough, as I was praying about the children’s play area, someone has donate funs for the completion of the playground. I praise the Lord who never rests and ceaselessly works for those who rely on the resurrected Christ.

Last month, those who studied counseling at the His Theological Seminary visit Rainbow Family home. They were not only wise and intelligent but they also put their love and faith into practice. We exchanged these passions and precious information so that we may further our mission as well. We prayed that we may find a road together in which we were given the opportunity to praise the Lord. Through our relationships and great encouragement, we were obtain the vision of the Lord’s will. Thank you very much,

Past few years every Saturday, the Livingstone volunteer Organization has offered music and art therapy to RFI students.
