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.

We are determined to join hands in the Lord and work hard for soul saving mission. Thank you!!

       Brianna Family                     Veronica                   Immanuel Baptist Church
Dear friends

Hallelujah!!

How are you during this season of harsh weather changes? 

Striving to live by the Word and the Lord’s grace, Rainbow Family is offering our monthly greetings.

We want to introduced 28-year-old single mother Brianna and her cute 3-year-old daughter Lia.

Brianna was born in Orange County, spent several years in prison for crimes related to drug addiction and still has to go back and forth to court, but she has a heart that wants to know the love of the Lord, so if we give her the opportunity and time, she may become a new person. Please pray and support us.

Veronica has been rehabilitated with her two children at the rainbow home for over a year and has been independent for quite a while since she was hired at the department store. Last week, I met her still working at the same place. I couldn’t stop crying with gratitude for her. We cried together for a long time holding each other. Seeing her working hard to raise her children, I felt like I saw the Lord’s happy face. Thanking the Lord, she said that she could not have been healed if it were not for Rainbow Family Home. Once again, thank you sincerely for your prayers and support for the ministry.

We sincerely thank you for all your big and small donations and prayers that you keep us in your heart and give us. We bow our heads in gratitude for the love, prayers, and material support of all of you who are working together with us, church, and many men’s and women’s ministry groups, and we give all glory to our faithful Lord.

The members of Immanuel Baptist Church’s Rainbow small group, who have been long-time supporters, visited us and we had a very beautiful time of fellowship. Thank you for their prayers and support.

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!

          Walk-A-Thon 2023       Gigi Hight School Graduation       Rev. Park’s Birthday
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.

On May 27th, we had our annual Walk-A-Thon. A long-time volunteer of our ministry Pastor Su-il Hyun, elder Moo Kyung Choe and her small group, and families who graduated early came with donations and food. With a unified goal, we walked 50 blocks. After walking safely back home, we had a delicious lunch and a wonderful time together. We thank you from bottom of our harts for all the walk-a-thon sponsors.

I am grateful to say that I have good news to share. Veronica’s daughter Gigi has graduated from Western High School. 7 years ago, 11year old Gigi joined our Rainbow Family with her mom and her 2 younger siblings. She had a talent for art and without any troubles graduated high school. What is even more amazing and thankful is that she is the first of four generations to graduate from high school. Veronica shed tears of joy as she experienced the Lord’s grace. 

Our precious Rev. Yoon-Seok Park, who lived with Rainbow Family for 20 years and endured many inconveniences without compensation, Now married and turned 52 on May 3th. 

We pray that the grace of the Lord will always be with him and he’s family.

I believe that the Lord gave new lives to those who were marginalized in society. He gave them optimal conditions to reign victorious for Lord’s glory. I give all the thanks and the glory to our loving Lord. As I work in this ministry, I wholeheartedly believe that your hard work opens the doors of heaven and allows for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Thank 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.”

      Stephanie’s Family                      Easter                    Deacon Sung Won Yoon

Dear Friends

Hallelujah!!

I pray with all my heart that you may have health and peace in the grace of the Lord who transcends all circumstances. Healing in the Lord’s grace and enjoying the freedom in the Word, 

Rainbow Family offers our monthly greetings with overflowing gratitude.

I would like to introduce 18 year old Stephanie and her daughter who recently turned 2. Stephanie was born in New York and moved with her mom to California when she was 6. There she met the baby’s father who was a drug addict and a violent person. The baby’s father ended up in prison and her daughter was taken away from her by Child Protection Services. She was living alone until she heard of our Rainbow Family Ministry and became part of our family. Although she is young, she has a strong determination to live with her daughter again. She is able to see her daughter once a week and when we see them together, we see how joyful they are. Seeing their happiness when they are together pushes our Rainbow Family to pray earnestly for them. We ask our supporters to join us in prayer. Thank you!!

We have met up with a long supporter of our ministry, Deacon Sung Won Yoon, from Torrance Good Shepherd Church and discussed ministry. I am so grateful to see her practice her neighborly love in her life.

For Easter, the mothers hid eggs and gifts inside and outside the house, saying that the person who finds it can claim it as his or hers. Likewise, they taught the children that those who call upon Jesus and seek his kingdom can possess heaven.  I am thankful that the Lord became hope for those who do not have hope and confidence in this world. But above all, I praise the Lord for providing eternal life through Jesus Christ. 

Although there are many churches that go on missions with large expenses and travel vast distances, Rainbow Family focuses on making the United States a crime free society for our communities. When I think about our supporters who donate and pray for us, I am so thankful. I believe that the great blessings of the Lord will always be with you as well. 

On Saturday, May 27th at 10am, our annual Walk-A-Thon will be hosted. We will depart from our Ministry at Buena Park and walk 50 blocks around the area. We are planning on using the money to help the costs of sustaining Rainbow Family. If you could write a donation form and send it. we will gratefully use it for the ministry. 

We sincerely thank the Lord and our supporters that we are able to make our ministry centered on the Word of God without receiving government subsidies. Praise the Lord11

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.

        Marissa’s Family                 Won Foundation                  Sarah’s Family

“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.

About a year ago, Marissa joined our family with her daughter and gave birth to her son while she was with us. She then moved to San Diego to live with her children’s father. However as he was using drugs, complications occurred and we have received her as she decided to join our ministry again. We ask for prayers and donations for her new journey. Thank you.!!

I had lunch with Mina Won who has been a director of Won Foundation for 20 years and an avid supporter of our ministry. She is always extending her hand and supporting us with her monthly donations to our ministry. I pray and bless her as she continues to be a blessing to us. 

I would like to introduce a new family 21 year old single mother Sarah, 2 year old daughter Ally, and 4 month old Lavender. Sarah shared that she wasn’t able to experience a normal childhood due to her parents’ drug addictions. The father of her children was also a drug addict and left their family due to his addiction problems. Sarah moved around from shelter to shelter until she was introduced to Rainbow Family and became a part of our family. We ask for many prayers and donations for Sarah as she is putting aside her life of pain and looking forward to a new life in the Lord’s love. Thank you.!! 

At this complicated and heartbreaking time, the Lord is protecting us as we set ourselves apart from the world through prayer and faith. Even during these times, I realize the Lord’s providence as he allows his people to keep their faith and serve their neighbors. I give thanks as I hope for a victorious life in Him.

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.

         Nicole’s Family                    Soo-il Hyun                   Ashley’s Family    

Dear, Friends.

Hallelujah!!

How are you during this season of harsh weather changes? 

Seeking a new life in the Lord’s love and grace, Rainbow Family is offering our Lunar new year greetings.

Last month 32 year old single mother Nicole and her daughter Journey, who is barely 2 years old, joined our Rainbow Family. Nicole was born in Harbin, China and grew up very lonely as the only child of a single mother. She studied hard and was able to attend a university in the United States for computer design. While studying in the States, she met her baby’s father and got pregnant. He recommended that she abort the baby, but she rejected him and decided to give birth to her daughter. During this period, the baby’s father disappeared. She also shared that her mother passed away 2 years ago due to Covid, while Nicole was still in the States. She moved from shelter to shelter with her daughter and at one point lived in her car. That is when she was introduced to Rainbow Family and joined us. While living in our rainbow home, she encountered the bible for the first time. The Lord touched her soul and her thoughts and led her to accept Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. We thank the Lord for his amazing providence and love, and we ask for your prayers and support. 

Pastor Soo-il Hyun, who is a representative of the Christian Missionary Ethics Movement, visited our home and discussed various topics regarding missionary ethics. We sincerely bow our heads in thanksgiving for Pastor Hyun’s interest in the application of mission work. 

I would like to introduce 34 years old Ashley and her two sons, 4 year old Noah and 2 year old Gage, who joined our family. Ashley suffered from drug addiction for a long time. She lost Noah’s father due to drug overdose and spent years wandering around in hopelessness. She then gave her two sons over to Foster Care and was in so much guilt and pain that she even considered death. She shared that she was introduced to Rainbow Family through an acquaintance and grew fond of the ministry. She especially was moved after seeing John 3:16 hanging in the front of the mission center. She came to our home with red eyes crying, and now she has accepted Christ and has become a citizen of heaven. I give praise and glory to God who is able to transcend our thoughts and Heart. We ask for prayers and support. 

Rainbow Family missionary, which was built miraculously with the grace of the Lord and the prayers and financial resources of our supporters, has become a true city of refuge for many people who have suffered greatly. Please consider becoming a partner through prayer and financial support so that Rainbow Family can become a place where marginalized souls are healed by the Lord’s beautiful love. Thank you.!!

Ephesians 2:10 

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

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, I pray in Love the Lord’s grace and peace will always be with you. 

Because he lives.

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. 

Because He lives,

           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. 

Because He lives,
