2022 Christmas        Mission Community Church    Young Leaders of USA

Happy New Year!!

Dear friends

Hallelujah!!

Thankful for the Lord’s infinite love and grace, Rainbow Family offers greetings for the New Year.

With the help of our donors, churches, organizations, and many other supporters, we were able to experience the love and blessings of Christ. We are very thankful for his river like love and look forward with excitement for what the Lord has in store for us in 2023. 

The 2022 Christmas event was blessed with Il shin Presbyterian church Pastor Hyo Sung Ahn’s sermon and worship, followed by an abundant meal that was prepared by Emmanuel Presbyterian Church and West presbyterian church youth group.

We experienced a bountiful celebration for the Lord’s birthday and ate and drank to our heart’s content.

Like the past 20 years, victorious graduates of Rainbow Family and their family members along with 60 neighbors in need visited us to receive gifts for this Christmas season. Despite the large number of families who visited us, we received enough support from churches and supporters that no one returned home empty handed. Praise the Lord of love and ability that always provides with the miracle of five loaves and two fish. Hallelujah!!

Young Leaders of America volunteers and parents visited our missionary and graced us with gifts of love to our families. They even delivered varieties of foods and monetary donations. I am thankful for the dozens of blankets that they provided for us to share with our neighbors in need. We sincerely bow our heads in thanksgiving for our supporters who are able to go beyond their difficult circumstances for the neighbors as well.

Elder David Oh and his wife from Mission Community Church, who are longtime supporters of our ministry, gifted us with daily necessities that we can use for a long time. What a great joy it is for those who do not have much. Thank you. 

We also give thanks to Il shin Presbyterian church Deacon Dong Gil Kim who has consistently donated plenty of school supplies and backpacks to our children in need each year. 

I shed tears of gratitude for the miraculous power of heaven that I am able to 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 you will be filled with spiritual things of heaven and the fertile things of the earth.

           Thanksgiving                  Leanne’s Birthday                 Jayme Family            

Merry Christmas!!

Dear Friends   Hallelujah!!

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

Seeking for new life under the Lord’s grace and love, Christmas greetings to you from Rainbow Family in the name of our Lord. we are genuinely thankful for the love that was poured out by the living Lord and our friends prayers and support.

I would like to introduce a family that was sent to us last month: 41-year old single mother Jayme and her 15 year old son Jordan. It has only been a couple of months since Jayme and Jordan moved from Baltimore to California. Since moving to California, it has not been easy for them to find a place to live and work. The only job Jayme was able to find required her to work only two days of the work making it financially difficult for Jayme and her son. However, through the church she attended, she was introduced to Rainbow Family. She is very grateful that she is able to be a member of Rainbow family. We ask for prayers and monetary support for their family. Thank you!!

We had a celebration for Marissa’s daughter Leanne who turned 2 years old. Leanne, who recently had a younger brother, is a very cute and pretty child. We had a wonderful time and prayed that she may grow to be healthy and cheerful.

The Lord sent precious people to help us continue the tradition that the previous R.F.I director, Deacon Soo Lee, started to help our neighbors in need during the Thanksgiving season. This year, Pastor Suil Hyun and his wife, Elder Tae Gyun Oh, Deacon Gyung Sook Yoo donated several turkeys and ingredients. Made it possible for the families to experience a Thanksgiving full of love and warmth. We delivered the turkeys and food to families who didn’t have cars and couldn’t come to us.

On Saturday, December 17th at 11:30 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.

Dear Friends       

Hallelujah!!

How are you doing during this sudden change of weather?

Seeking a new life in the grace of the Lord and being healed by his love, Rainbow Family offers our monthly greetings. We are grateful for the love poured by our living God and our friends who have provided us with donations and prayers.

I would like to introduce a new family that joined us 37 years old single mother Beatrice and her three daughters. She shared that her Parents immigrated to Santa Ana from Mexico. However, there were issues in her household which led her to run with the wrong crowd. She met a man who she had two kids with. Unfortunately, because of her drug addictions father of the kids remarried and started another family with the children. In her loneliness, she met another man who is the father of her three daughters. Due to her drug addictions, her kids were taken away from her by the government where she was introduced to Rainbow Family and started a rehabilitation process with the Word of God for 3 months before her kids joined her. I give thanks to the Lord who is lighting her future. She is committing herself to the Word and we ask for prayers and monetary support for their family. Thank you so much. 

A long-time supporter of our Rainbow Family, Deacon Seong-Won Yoon of Torrance Good Shepherd Church, along with the newly appointed Pastor Seung-Hyeok Lee and the elders brought a lot of delicious food for us. I trust and pray that the Lord will continue to provide endless support and prayers. We are truly grateful for their love.

On October 29th, 2022 we had our Walk-A-Thon event. 

This year we walked 50 blocks around the neighborhood, ate a delicious meal afterwards and had a good time together. We would like to especially thank all our sponsors who participated in our event.

On Saturday November 19th, we plan to distribute Turkeys and other necessary ingredients for Thanksgiving to who are in need. Please help me to bring a warm and happy Thanksgiving to the families in our neighborhood.  

I believe that the Lord will grant the best conditions for success and the start of a new life for those who are marginalized in society. All thanks and glory to the loving Lord. Through your hard work, we are able to open heaven’s doors and fulfill the Lord’s will on earth as it is in heaven. Thank you. 

Philippians4:6-7

 “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 that the power of resurrection of our Lord Jesus will be with you, your family, and your church always and God bless you!

          Dalvi Family                    Malisa and Asher                 Genevi

Dear Friends,

Hallelujah!!

How are you during these difficult times? 

I pray with all my heart that the Lord’s encouragement and peace is always with you.

Thankful for God’s grace, Rainbow Family offers our greetings to you and yours.

I would like to introduce a new family that joined us last month : 24 year old single mother Dalvi and her cute 2 year old son, Renzo. Dalvi shared that she was born to a mother with alcohol addiction and a father who she never met. She has a younger brother who passed away long ago. She also lost her mother in the year she turned 16 as her mother was driving the car in an intoxicated state. Unable to hold back her tears, Dalvi shares she was the only one who survived the accident. All alone in the world, Dalvi found comfort in drugs and working for Dating Services. She met her baby’s father, who is Japanese, was also a drug addict. She was drawn to church as she started to believe in Jesus Christ and how he died on the cross for her sins. It was there that she met a good church friend who introduced her to Rainbow Family. We ask for prayers and support for Dalvi and Renzo. 

Malisa, who has been with us for 7 months now, gave birth to a 7.5ound baby boy, Asher. Pastor Soo il Hyun and Elder Oh stopped by and provided warm words of encouragement and a gift card to purchase baby products. I genuinely thank the both Men for their love and care. 

Veronica, who helps manage Rainbow Family with us, joined us when her daughter Genevi was 11 years old. When she came to Rainbow whit her mother and two younger siblings turned 17 this year. Genevi has a talent for art and is being taught at an art academy that is run by Director Jung Hwa Lim. As she prepares to enter art college next year, we ask for your prayers and support as she pursues her aspirations. 

We are so grateful for all the donations and support that we have received from donors, supporters, volunteer groups, and churches during this difficult time. We praise the Lord with tears who makes miracles happen and who allows our supporters to show the world the abundance and blessings in the kingdom of God. 

Romans 8:28

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called

According to his purpose.”

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

A longtime supporter of Rainbow Family, Pastor San ho Lee, his wife, and the youth group of Happiness Church in Las Vegas visited us and offered encouragement to our families in our home and our students. We sincerely thank them for their constant support. 

We had our RFI Summer School graduation ceremony. Pastor Edward Lim delivered the sermon and with the visitation of Pastor Jung Gook Lim and his wife, we enjoyed food that was prepared by members of Immanuel Presbyterian Church. 12 of our students graduated with the gospel fastened to their hearts. Our students were able to attend school with new backpacks and school supplies that were provided by Deacon Dong Gil Kim of Il shin Presbyterian Church. I pray in thanksgiving that the Lord may remember the goodness of those who provide to those who have nothing and no hope. Director Jung Hwa Lim and volunteers from the Orange County School of Arts taught the students theater and acting. We shed tears of joy as we watched their performance. With the zeal and support of the Volunteer parents and donations and prayers from members of Happiness Church, the students were able to thought math, English, art therapy, cooking classes, etc. 

We are genuinely so grateful for there Love and dedication.

Our longtime supporter of 15 years, Sunny Foundation, visited us with ingredients and cooked us a very delicious meal. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Chairman and the members for their steadfast love and support. 

Our Rainbow Family was built miraculously by the grace of the Lord and through the prayers and donations of our donors. We ask for cooperation through prayers and donations so that many wounded and marginalized souls can be healed by the Lord’s loving grace. Thank you.
