Thanks to your generous support and that of your precious churches, even during these difficult times, we are able to share abundantly with our struggling neighbors and children. We give tearful thanks for your love and praise our good Lord, who allows us to experience miracles and proclaim victory, showing the world that His kingdom is always overflowing with blessings.

    Jasmine’s Family                   Walk A Thon 2025                  Im Jung-hwa group

Dear Friends 

Hallelujah!!

May you have a beautiful July, blooming like the wildflowers of early summer, wrapped in the love of our Lord. Rainbow Family sends warm greetings.

I’d like to introduce Jasmine, a 30-year-old single mother, and her six children, who became a family last month. Her children are 9-year-old daughter Medlan, 8-year-old son Exavier, 6-year-old Skya, 5-year-old daughter Malin, 3-year-old Livia, and her youngest son Anthony. During her marriage, Jasmine endured repeated abuse from her husband. One day, after he had been drinking and was asleep, she violently attacked him, which led to her imprisonment and the loss of her children. Since then, she has worked hard to comply with requirements to regain custody of her children, and as a result, she has been given the opportunity to live with them again. I pray that Jasmine and her lovely children can live a joyful new life together. 

We earnestly await your support and prayers.

I’d like to introduce the volunteer group led by Director Im Jung-hwa, a long-time supporter. 

I believe and give thanks that the Lord will abundantly bless the future of these volunteers who come from various countries and serve with all their heart and strength.

We sincerely thank all the sponsors and churches who supported the 2025 Walkathon. This event involves walking 50 blocks around Buena Park to raise funds. This year, we had a special time walking with the Future Young Leaders of America volunteer group, followed by a delicious lunch and fellowship.

Thank you for your unwavering love and support!

Isaiah 61:3

“And provide for those who grieve in Zion- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.”

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

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.

Amidst the ever-changing weather, we hope you are staying well and at peace. The Rainbow Family sends our warmest greetings, living each day with grateful hearts in the grace of our Lord.

We are deeply thankful to the Women’s Missionary Society of Il-Shin Presbyterian Church, who generously visited us with essential daily supplies. Our heartfelt gratitude also goes to the pastors, their wives, and all the devoted members of Il-Shin Presbyterian Church for their boundless love and steadfast prayers.

The ” Nanugo Youth Society,” who have been faithfully volunteering with us for a long time, joined the mothers in ministering to the children at the mission home—teaching projects, English, and math with love. We praise our gracious Lord, who will greatly bless their future.

All the members of the mission home recently enjoyed a wonderful day at O.C. Zoo, riding boats and cycling. The children were especially delighted to interact with the animals. For days afterward, they kept reliving the joy of that day—a poignant reminder of how harsh their lives had been before.

Every day at the mission home is sustained by your love, prayers, and generous support. The children, our mission family, and I sincerely thank you and pray for God’s richest blessings upon you.

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.

        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!!

“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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

The female leaders of Torrance Shalom Church visited our mission center. Among them was a deacon I remembered, and I was delighted to see her. I am grateful to have met such good people who have missions in mind and are planning church work. We had a wonderful time promising beautiful connections in the Lord’s love for the future. Thank you.

On October 19, 2024, we held our fall walk-a-thon. Workers from Emmanuel Baptist Church and longtime supporter, Pastor Soo-il Hyun and his wife, joined us. We walked 50 blocks near the mission center, sharing many stories along the way, and returned to enjoy the prepared food together. It was a joyful time with the mission center moms and children coming together. We are deeply grateful to everyone who participated in and supported the walk-a-thon.

Adriana’s daughter Mia, who is living with us at the mission center, turned 6 years old. Since entering the mission center, Adriana has found a job, purchased a car, and even regained custody of little Mia from the government, living each day with gratitude. We ask for your prayers and support for Mia’s family.

“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.”

Dear Friends, 

Hallelujah!!

We hope you have not been affected by any disasters or the ongoing virus. We pray that the great comfort and peace of the Lord be with you always. The Rainbow Family, grateful for the Lord’s grace, sends you greetings in the name of the Lord.

We would like to introduce Samantha, a 25-year-old single mother, and her 1-year-old son, Roland. Samantha was born in California and grew up with her two older brothers under a single mother. She never met her father and grew up in a home where her mother’s boyfriends came and went, feeling lonely. She witnessed her mother struggling with drug addiction and eventually fell into drug use herself. Her mother still lives in a nearby shelter. Samantha does not know who the father of her baby is, but she is determined to raise her son on her own. She currently works at Walmart and, despite late hours, manages without complaints. We ask for your prayers and support for Samantha and her son.

Pastor Hyo-Sung Ahn and his wife, along with three deaconesses from Il Shin Presbyterian Church, long-time supporters of the Rainbow Mission, visited us with supplies, food, and donations. Their visit brought great comfort and encouragement to me and the members of the mission. Thank you very much for your love!!

We would also like to introduce the Fyla volunteer group, which has been serving the mission for a long time. We are grateful to the students and their parents who love and serve their neighbors in this era. The Lord will surely be pleased with their love for their neighbors, which they show by visiting us twice a month without fail, and will bless them greatly.

Thanks to the support of you and your precious churches, we are able to generously share with our neighbors and children in need even during these difficult times. We tearfully thank the Lord, who always fills His kingdom with blessings and proclaims victory to the world, and we praise the good Lord who allows us to experience miracles through your love.
