Viviana’s Family

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.

We are grateful to introduce 23‑year‑old Adrian and her 7‑month‑old daughter, Grace, as the newest members of our Rainbow Family.

Adrian spent her late teens, from age 18 to 19, in a treatment center, doing her best to rebuild her life. 

However, around age 19, she entered into a relationship that led her back into drug use, and she walked through a very dark season. In the midst of that time, her daughter Grace was born. Grace is currently placed in a foster home, and Adrian is fighting every day—often with tears—to recover what was lost and to one day hold her daughter in her arms again.

She carries deep guilt and sorrow over the choices that led to Grace being in foster care. More than anything, she is struggling with emotional pain that is difficult to describe, living without a sense of peace and trying to endure on her own. Even so, Adrian is holding onto a small but real spark of hope that the Lord will raise her life up again.

We believe that the Lord does not break a bruised reed, nor snuff out a smoldering wick.

And we trust that His restoring hand will surely be upon Adrian’s life and upon Grace’s future.

Please join us in praying that Adrian will find true peace in the grace of the Lord, and that she and her daughter Grace will one day be reunited to build a healthy, renewed life together.

We have wonderful news to share about Vivian’s family, whom we introduced in last month’s newsletter.

Vivian has been reunited with all four of her children—something she had been praying and waiting for with many tears. When she received the news, she wept with joy and testified, “Truly, God was with us.” The time of separation had been a deep wound for her, but the Lord has faithfully carried her through that season and brought her family back together again. Now, Vivian is filling her newly restored daily life with gratitude as she begins again with her children. We ask for your continued prayers that this family will grow in stability, love, and hope, and that they will build a new future firmly rooted in the Lord’s grace.

We also ask for your prayers for Missionary Liz Lee, who has been receiving treatment for a MRSA (Methicillin‑resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infection. The early stages of the infection were very difficult, but by God’s grace, her treatment is progressing well, and she is showing significant improvement.

Even in the midst of hardship, she continues to stand firm in faith, saying, “The Lord is holding me.” Please join us in praying for her full and speedy recovery.

 

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.

 

Because He lives,
