Dear friends

Hallelujah!!

Magpie, Magpie’s new year’s day was yesterday and our, our new year’s day is today…[translated Korean song for Korean New Year] 

How are you doing in the midst of harsh weather changes? 

Indebted in love and pursuing a new life in the Lord, Rainbow Family offers our monthly greetings.

I would like to introduce a family that joined us last month: 29 year old single mother Marisa and her 2 year old daughter for Marisa and her daughter Leanne. 

Marisa’s mother and father were separated due to her mother’s drug addictions. Born to a wandering mother, she spent most of her childhood in foster care. There were moment mother and Marisa lived in a shelter when she was out of prison. Her mother passed away early after her health deteriorated due to her addiction to drugs. Afterwards, Marisa realized that she was walking the same path as her mother. She joined Rainbow Family in order to be with her daughter Leanne again who is in foster care. She has accepted Jesus Christ as her savior and is working hard in her rehabilitation program. We ask for support and prayers

24 year old single mother Veronica and her 5 year old son David and 2 year old daughter Emma have also joined our Rainbow Family. Veronica shared that she left home at an early age due to her drug addiction. Afterwards she met the father of her children who was constantly in jail. She left her kids in her mother’s care and started living on aimlessly. Due to this the government got involved and limited her time with the kids to 3 days a week. However, with her participation in our rehabilitation program and the constant drug tests, she may be able to live with her children from April. Even though she has never read the bible before she has accepted Jesus as her savior and she is attending daily bible studies and church on a regular basis. 

Daniel, a very talented boy scout, volunteered for Rainbow Family School in the previous year. He stopped by occasionally and became a good friend to our children. Last month, along with his boy scout friends, Daniel prepared materials to create two wonderful picnic tables for us. The tables have served multiple purposes for eating, doing homework, and playing. I would like to bow down in thanksgiving for Daniel’s genuine heart in serving and everyone who worked hard to create the tables. 

The Rainbow Family was miraculously sustained by our supporter’s prayers and monetary donations. We ask you to join forces with us to help Rainbow Family become a true place of refuge for those who are hurt and marginalized through monetary donations and prayers. 

Ephesians2:10 “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God 

prepared in advance for us to do.”

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.

 Crystal’s Family                         Christmas 2021            Young Leaders of America

             Happy New Year!!

Dear friends

Hallelujah!!

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

This past Christmas with the help of our steadfast supporters, churches, and organizations, we were able to experience the abundance of the Lord’s love and blessings. 

Grateful for his overwhelming grace, we look forward to the Lord’s plans for 2022.

The 2021 Christmas event was blessed with Calvary Presbyterian Church Pastor Kwang Soo Lee’s sermon, Grace Korean Church’s worship, and Calvary Presbyterian Church Pastor Jeong chan Kim’s blessings. 

Unlike the past 19 years, approximately 70 people including our neighbors and many families of Rainbow family program graduates came to celebrate and receive gifts. With the special help and donations of Calvary Presbyterian Church, Immanuel Presbyterian Church, Grace Korean Church, Young Leaders of America, Jennifer Cho, Dr. John Lee, Won-Hak Kim, Jong-Doo Park, Dong-gil Kim, Director Jenny, Jinny, Kyung, and all our supporters, every single person returned home with a gift. We were able to eat to our heart’s content and celebrate the Lord’s birthday with a feast that was prepared by the small group of Grace Korean church. 

We praise the Lord of love for always working the miracle of 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Hallelujah!!

We would like to introduce 32 years old Crystal and her 18month old son Konnor who joined us last month. Crystal shared that she was born to a mother who struggled with drug addiction and was thus entrusted in the hands of her grandmother. Since her grandmother served and attended a Baptist church, Crystal has been attending church since she was young. She also graduated from a Baptist High School. Even though she knew a lot about the bible, she wasn’t able to create a relationship with Jesus because of the wounds in her heart. She met her son’s father when she was committing crimes and gave birth to her son. However, she ended up giving her son up for adoption due to her drug addictions and visits to prison. Konnor is her second son and his father is in prison. Crystal is also on probation and can only visit her son twice a week. Crystal became involved with our home through the Probation officer, but she is eager to meet all the requirements in order to keep her son. We ask for prayers and support so that Konnor can live with his mother as soon as possible. 

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.

Dear Friends

Hallelujah!!

How are you doing during this cold 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 you to Erica and Dee who have joined our Rainbow Family last month. Erica, 34 years old, grew up with her grandmother and did not experience love from her parents. Thus, she made many mistakes and ended up spending painful years in prison. She shared that this is where she met the Lord. While staying at the Rainbow home, she learned about the power of forgiveness and decided to forgive her parents as well. Thank the Lord for his mercy. 

19-year-old, Dee was born in San Diego and faced many obstacles due to her drug addiction. While struggling with her addictions, Dei learned through her single mother friend in college about our home. As it is a wonderful thing for us to see her commit to her studies, we want to stay by her side for a long time and help her. We ask for prayers and support for both Erica and Dee. Thank you so much. 

Through our daily after-school program, the children are learning, receiving better grades in school, and becoming healthier. We sincerely thank our friends like you who spared no effort in prayer and support so that we may provide for our local community. I thank you from bottom of my heart.

On October 30th, 2021 we hosted our Walk-A-Thon. This year good friend of Rainbow Family, Director Jeong-Hwa Lim and her volunteers walked with us. Many parents and other volunteers have joined us as well. With the money that the volunteers collected, Director Lim matched the funds and donated it to our Ministry. 

All united in the Lord, we walked 50 blocks and shared a delicious lunch when we got back.

special thank you to all our sponsors and participants of the Walk-A-Thon.

On November 18th we are planning to distribute Turkeys and other necessary ingredients for Thanksgiving to our neighbors in need. Please help us bring a warm and happy Thanksgiving to our neighbors. Thank you. 

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.”

To our supporters who thank the Lord’s grace and serve their neighbors, I pray and bless that even in your family, church, business, and ministry, the Lord’s grace and blessings will always be with you.

I hope and pray that there have been no difficulties due to the virus. 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 the family that joined us last month Single mother 26year old Hadley and her 2year old daughter Emma Lynn. Hadley’s mother passed away and her father is happily remarried. She shares that she feels very empty and lonely because she yearns for her mother’s love. When her older sister married, she tried to live with her but soon discovered that it was difficult. She stated that during this time she developed an addiction to drugs and slowly started to lose herself. It was around then when she met her daughter’s father and gave birth to Emma Lynn Since she has joined our Ministry she has actively participated in bible study where she is slowly starting to experience the love of God that is able to abundantly fill the absent love of her mother and more. Hadley is slowly in the process of finding herself again. We ask our supporters for financial support and prayers. 

I would like to also introduce 27year old Priscilla Single mother along with her 2year old son Legend. 

Priscilla was born in Anaheim and her father passed away a long time ago. Her mother is still struggling with her drug addictions. She repented living a materialistic life and is passionate about learning the Word of God. She started a new life after accepting Jesus as her Savior. We ask for prayers and financial support so that will be able to find her place in society.

The members of Young Leaders of America and parents have visited us with leaving supplies and snacks for our afterschool students. I pray and believe that the Lord will bless them as they always help their neighbors in need and also remember our RFI students. 

We are still continuing our afterschool program that started on August 10th. Currently there are a total of 17 students. 

I am so thankful to our supporters who provide through their churches. Because of your help, we are able to provide and help others even in difficult times. We thank our Lord who proclaims victory and show the world that His kingdom is always abundant with love and blessings. Once again, we praise the Lord and thank our supporters with tears for your everlasting love and support.

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

Because He lives,
