Maria’s Family              Young Leaders of America            Shalom Church

Dear Friends,

Hallelujah!!

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

We, the Rainbow Family, send you greetings with a grateful heart in the grace of the Lord.

To all mothers, we wish you a Happy Mother’s Day!

This month, we’d like to introduce Maria, a 33-year-old single mother, and her two children—9-year-old Noah and 7-year-old Annabelle—who have just joined our family. Maria was born in California, at 19, met the father of her children, who struggled with alcohol and drug addiction. Though she knew she was falling deeper into addiction herself, she stayed with him because she felt alone after her parents and siblings returned to Mexico. Eventually, the family became homeless, and life grew so difficult that they came to the Rainbow Mission. We pray that they may be healed by the love of Jesus and humbly ask for your support. Thank you!!

The volunteers from Young Leaders of America have been serving faithfully for many years without fail. Every time they visit, parents joyfully participate by bringing food, gifts, and donations. Words cannot fully express our gratitude. We believe the Lord will shine His light upon their future and pour out abundant blessings on them. Thank you!!

Parents and volunteers from Shalom Church in Torrance visited us and held a wonderful event. A portrait artist joined them and beautifully captured the faces of the mothers and children living at the mission. It was a time of sweet fellowship and praise. 

We sincerely thank them for their passion and pray for God’s blessings upon them.

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.”

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.

“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.

Last month, by God’s grace, the Rainbow Family Mission was selected for the Sharing On campaign by the Korean Gospel Broadcasting Network and received a generous donation of $5,000. We will use this support wisely to help those in need. We believe our good Lord will abundantly bless all the work of the Korean Gospel Broadcasting Network with His infinite favor.

The Young Leaders of America group has been faithfully serving at the mission center for over two years now, continuing to love and care for the children living here with unwavering compassion. We praise the Lord, who will surely bless their future.

Estella, who has been staying at the Rainbow Family for nearly eight months, recently gave birth to her precious son, Daniel. Though her journey has been difficult including the baby’s father being sentenced to prison after trial God has blessed her with this beautiful child. We ask for your prayers and support for Estella and her family.

In these troubled times, filled with so much pain and complexity, God has hidden away people like you and me those who remain steadfast in prayer, undivided from the world yet not swayed by its circumstances. Even now, we are grateful for His providence, allowing us to hold onto faith and live as His people, serving our neighbors. We hope to continue walking in victory, trusting in His plan.

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.

Dear friends

Hallelujah!!

We hope you are staying well amidst these unpredictable weather changes. The Rainbow Family, striving to live according to God’s Word within His grace, sends you warm greetings.

Estella, who has been living with us at the Rainbow home, is expecting to give birth to a son next month. The mothers at the Rainbow home have generously gifted her with various items needed for the baby, celebrating her with genuine joy. Their gestures, filled with the heart of God, deeply moved not only Estella but also me. Thank you!!

During her time with the Foster family, Gealsy mentioned she had never celebrated a birthday party before. So, we gathered to celebrate her birthday, shared cake, and enjoyed a joyful day together. We are also deeply grateful for the love and support of our sponsors, who have helped Gealsy, after accepting Jesus and living at the Rainbow home, to enroll at Cyprus University. 

She is now happily studying and thriving. Thank you!!

Our longtime friends, the Young Leaders of America group, led by their president and several parents, visited us with daily necessities and snacks that the children love. We are once again thankful for the helping hands and prayers you have extended over the years. Thank you!!

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!

Happy New Year!!

Dear friends, 

Hallelujah!!

With hearts full of gratitude for the Lord’s boundless love and grace, the Rainbow family extends New Year greetings.

Even this Christmas, we are overwhelmed by the unchanging love and blessings of our dear supporters, numerous churches, organizations, and many kind individuals. We deeply appreciate the Lord’s abundant grace and eagerly anticipate His plans for us in 2025.

The 2024 Christmas event began with a sermon filled with grace and a praise service led by Pastor Jo Park of Ilshin Presbyterian Church, followed by a feast prepared by many of you in celebration of the Lord’s birthday.

We are sincerely grateful.

Just like the past 20 years, families of graduates from our ministry and over 50 neighboring families in need came to receive gifts. Thanks to the immense love and support from various churches and sponsors, no one left without a gift. We praise the Lord, who always performs the miracle of the five loaves and two fish. Hallelujah!!

Long-time supporters from the Mission community Church’s Amen group brought essential goods that can be used for a long time. We cannot express enough how much joy this brings to those who have nothing. Thank you!!

Pastor Chang-Kun Kim from the Korean Church of Orange County led a beautiful service with harp praise and words of inspiration. They also brought lasting essentials and gifts, providing great help. 

Our heartfelt thanks to Deacon Dong-Gil Kim from Il shin Presbyterian Church, who continuously supports the neighboring children with school supplies and backpacks every year. We shed tears of gratitude for the heavenly miracles we experience every Christmas.

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 yoube filled with spiritual things of heaven and the fertile things of the earth.

Merry Christmas!!

Dear Friends   

Hallelujah!!

How have you been during this ever-changing weather? We, the Rainbow Family, who seek a new life in the grace of the Lord and are being healed by His love, send our heartfelt greetings to you. We sincerely thank the living Lord for the love He has poured upon us throughout 2024 and for your prayers and generous support.

This Thanksgiving started with a graceful sermon and prayer by Pastor Isaac Oh, who serves at Ilshin Presbyterian Church, followed by a feast prepared by the members of Irvine Onnuri Church, who brought delicious food. Everyone who came to the mission center was able to eat and drink to their heart’s content and take home turkey and other foods. It was a special Thanksgiving thanks to their sincere support. We are deeply grateful.

Before the worship service, we shared words of GOD with long-time supporter and friend Downey Good Shepherd Church Pastor John Kim, his wife, and the elders. What a blessed time it was. We thank them for their love and support.

Among the volunteers of the ‘Share and Serve’ group, Derek Ahn, Daniel Kim, and Angela Kim made triangle kimbap and sold it at school for lunch, donating all the proceeds to support the Rainbow Family during the holiday. We believe that the Lord knows their love and warm hearts and will bless their future. Thank you.

Luke 2:14  

“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 

We pray and bless that the infinite joy of Christmas and the blessing of living hope will be abundant in our supporters’ families, businesses, and Ministries.
