ission Community Church          2023 Christmas               Donated a wonderful car

Happy New Year!!

Dear friends,  Hallelujah!!

We, the Rainbow Family, who are grateful for the Lord’s infinite love and grace, offer our New Year’s bow as we welcome the new year.

Even this Christmas, we experienced the Lord’s love and blessings poured out through our unwavering sponsor, various churches and organizations, and all of you who are grateful. We give thanks for the Lord’s great and wide river-like grace and look forward to the Lord’s plan for us in 2024.

The Christmas event in 2023 started with the grace-filled sermon and praise worship of Pastor Joe ES Park of Il-shin Presbyterian Church, and it was the Lord’s abundant birthday party where we ate and drank delicious food prepared by the small group of Grace Church. We sincerely thank you.

For the past 20 years, as always, the victorious Rainbow Home graduates and their families, and over 60 struggling families in our neighborhood, came to receive gifts, but thanks to the great love and support of various churches and sponsors who helped us especially, no one went back without a gift. We praise the Lord who always bestows the miracle of the five loaves and two fish, and His ability and love. Hallelujah!!

Long-time sponsors, the Mission Community Church Rainbow group, brought us essential items for long-term use. How great a joy it is for those who have nothing. Thank you.

We sincerely thank Deacon Dong-gil Kim of Il-shin Presbyterian Church, who has been sponsoring school supplies and backpacks for neighborhood children every year without change. We shed tears of gratitude for the miraculous ability of heaven that we experience every Christmas.

This year, in particular, at the age of 11 GG came in with her mother Veronica became members of Rainbow family, lived in a mission home during their childhood, studied hard, entered college, rode bicycles, and even took buses on rainy days. But the Lord heard our prayers our CPA, Mr. Paul Joo, donated a wonderful car, which not only supports us, but all the family members are very happy and thankful to the Lord. We give all the glory to the good Lord who answers our prayers. Thank you, thank you.

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 you will be filled with spiritual things of heaven and the fertile things of the earth.

          Maria’s Family                  Union Church                Thanksgiving Dinner     

                Merry Christmas!!

Dear Friends   Hallelujah!!

I hope you are well in this suddenly chilly weather. We, the Rainbow Family, who are pursuing a new life in the grace of the Lord and being healed by His love, send you our greetings. We sincerely thank you for the love that the living Lord has poured out and your generous prayers and support throughout 2023.

I would like to introduce a family that was sent to us last month: 26-year-old Maria, and her 6-year-old daughter Melody. Maria became a part of the Rainbow Family through a church referral while she was struggling with many difficulties, including losing her daughter due to her baby’s father’s violence, having trouble finding a place to live, and only having two days of work per week. She is very grateful to the Lord for being able to get her daughter back and for becoming a part of the Rainbow Family. We ask for your prayers and support for them. Thank you.

R.F.I. former chairman Lee Soo-in started the Thanksgiving help for the needy years ago, and every year the Lord sends precious people to continue it. This year, thankfully, Pastor Hyun Soo-il and his wife, Elder Oh Tae-gyun, and the Men’s and Women’s Missionary Society of Union Church prepared several turkeys and ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal full of love and care, which were generously distributed to many families for a warm and happy Thanksgiving. For those families who could not come due to lack of transportation, we delivered turkeys and side dishes. We sincerely thank you for your beautiful love and support.

On Saturday, December 16th at 11:00 a.m., an annual event will be hosted where gifts and meals are distributed at the Rainbow Home. We would like to invite our friends who work with us to celebrate the birth of Jesus and his great mercy and grace.  I sincerely thank you for your beautiful love and support as I experienced the miracle of heaven coming to earth. 

The Rainbow Family children are writing letters to the Lord exchanging gifts, I definitely do not want to disappoint them. Please help me so that I will be able to provide gifts for our RFI families and the families who have graduated our program in previous years. Thank you!!

Let your light shine before men, and let them see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Just as this verse states, let others see the father’s faithfulness and love through your works as you help us during this Christmas event. 

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.

         Chella’s Family                   Won Foundation               2023 Oct Walkathon

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Dear Friends,

Hallelujah!!

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

Living in the grace of the Lord with a grateful heart, Rainbow Family offers our monthly greetings.

Last month, we welcomed a new family: 43-year-old Chella, born in California, her 9-year-old daughter Amanda, and her 5-year-old son Richard. Chella is a sister who has a masculine personality but always tries to live with a smile. When she was praying in tears without knowing where to go after being kicked out of the Orange Mission because of her unusual children, the Lord allowed her to meet someone who knew the contact information of the Rainbow Family home, and she was able to enter the Rainbow Family Home. 

The father of the children came out of prison and disappeared, and it was too hard for her to educate the children alone. The children are very unusual, but we can’t just scold them because they grew up in a bad environment, so we are embracing them with love.

We ask for your prayers and support for Chella’s family.

Representatives of the Won Foundation, Deaconess Won Mina and Assistant Park, brought delicious fried chicken and salad, French fries and had a joyful and happy time together over a delicious meal. 

We sincerely thank you for your prayers and loving support and bless you with all our hearts.

On October 28th, there was a Walkathon event. Pastor Hyun Soo Il, who has been serving and not sparing support for a long time, made a banner and brought it with Elder Oh Tae Kyun. The Rainbow Family walked safely back 50 blocks with one heart of gratitude and had a good time together while eating a delicious lunch. We would like to express our special thanks to all of you who have become sponsors of the Walkathon.

 Philippians 4:6-7

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

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

Elizabeth also has an intellectual disability and cannot read books well, but she is gentle and loving by nature. The children are attending school and adapting well. We earnestly ask for your prayers and support for their change and future. Thank you.

We will remember your comfort, prayers, and support in our hearts and devote our lives to preaching the gospel with more diligence. Thanks to your material support and prayers, we are bearing many fruits. Thank you.

1 Timothy 1:16

 “But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.”

May you be grateful for the great grace of the Lord and serve your neighbors. We pray that the resurrection power of the Lord will always be with your family, church, business, and ministry of sponsors who serve their neighbors. Blessings.
