Norma and Bianca             R.F.I . Summer School              Veronica’s Family

Dear Friends,

Hallelujah!!

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

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

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.

Last month, Pastor Hedge and the Youth Group from Blessing Church that is located in Anaheim have visited our Home and shared the gospel, in which we enjoyed a great time together. 9 of the R.F.I. School children were able to experience precious times of receiving Jesus.

I give all the glory to the Lord and thank their great passion and love for the gospel.

Elaine’s Daughter Isabella, who has been living in the Home, along with 4 other students who have grown and been a part of Rainbow Family School program for last 4-5 years also have graduated elementary school. Isabella had also received the president’s award which made even more proud. I praise and thank the loving Lord as I pray for their future so that the Lord may shine his marvelous light and bless their lives. 10 year old fifth grader Samuel, who lives with us, lift up everyone’s day when he brought his report card that showed great improvement from the one before. Hallelujah!!

The clothes and toys that you send have been a tremendous help for the less fortunate children in the community.

R.F.I summer school we are expecting 20-25 students and volunteers.

Pleases sand your prayers and support so that these children will have chance to listen to the gospel and gain hope so that they may change the future of society for the better. I trust and thank that the Lord, who is the source of all blessings, will provide blessings for your faith in Him in an abundant and overflowing manner.

I thank you from bottom of my heart for your love.

Dear Friends,

I hope and pray all is well with you and your family. Month of May is a Family month.

I hope and pray that the heavenly love and peace will fill your home.

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. The director Lim Jung Hwa leads has been participating in various events like drawing on murals in new shopping center “The Source”  we took pictures and enjoyed a great time. We also watched a new 4D movie with the kids and enjoyed a delicious meal together. I would like to genuinely thank director Lim Jung Hwa and the volunteers for their dedication and love towards the children in the community.

We had Girl Scout troop 1175 came to visit us with many toys, clothing, games and soccer balls for everyone. Children was encouraged and truly felt the love of God. I want to thank the parents and the troops for being part of our lives.

From the beginning of June, summer school 2017 will start for the RFI School for a King. It starts at 10 a.m. all the way through 3 pm daily. We take them on field trips, and swimming also offer breakfast and lunch. We perceive there to be about 25 students. I want you to know that without your help all this is impossible.PLwon’t you help me so that these kids will be able to experience the love and joy during this summer! I thank you from bottom of my heart.

      2017 walk-a-thon                  Happy walk –a-thon                   RFI girls

“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. Even the 20 students of the RFI School children are recognizing the power of the resurrection and the grace of salvation. I thank the Lord and friends like you making this possible.

We held a 2017 walk-a-thon last month.

Director Lim Jung Hwa from Livingstone, volunteers, parents, our rainbow families, and even the after school kids specially this year our board members and Thanksgiving church members came and joined together to participate in this event. All the workers have joyfully finished the walk-a-thon which was a route consisting of 50 blocks in the neighborhood. Afterwards we were able to share time and talk about the grace and love of God as we ate a delicious lunch. I thank the Lord that he allowed us to walk with grateful hearts and gave us the strength to walk the distance. I would also like to genuinely thank the volunteers who participated in the walk and the donors who have donated for these walkers.

As the scale of our ministry is getting larger we need help financially and overall for the ministry. As we are praying for more contributions to come in order to help single mothers and their children, we pray and ask for your best gift this month and continuously in order for us to spread the gospel to our community and allow for consistent education for the RFI kids. I believe that poverty can be overcome with education through the gospel. In order to allow for Rainbow Family Ministry to create a society of all different people that may grow together.

I need your help more than ever before!!
