Dear friends and supporter of Rainbow Missions family：

Happy new year!

My name is Wendy Qi. It has been my privilege to serve on the Rainbow Missions board since 2020. This year, I am honored to become the new chairman of Rainbow Missions organization.

Rainbow Missions has been faithfully serving the disabled children and family in China for the last 20 years! Many lives have been transformed because of your financial and prayer support!

First of all, it is my honor to introduce our new board member: Iris Lai. Iris has been volunteering for Rainbow Missions since Spring 2022 as an expert in the field of Applied Behavioral Analysis. Iris has been consistently providing online training to our field worker, teachers and parents for the last 3 years. Her impact to provide quality training to help our special needs children has been significant. We are honored to have Iris to join Rainbow Missions as our newest board member. Her area of expertise and her passion to serve will be great addition to Rainbow Missions. Craig Walker has been the chairman of Rainbow Missions for the last 7 years. We are sad to announce that Craig has decided to leave the board as of Jan 1 2025 to spend more time with his family. Craig has been a tremendous leader for Rainbow Missions as well as my own personal spiritual mentor. His passion to serve and strong leadership will be greatly missed. Lissa Law and Tina Eng will continue remaining on our board. We are so fortunate to have both Lissa and Tina

to help us drive strategic decision for Rainbow Missions. Pastor Rain Chan will remain as our executive director for Rainbow Missions, setting direction and running day to day operations. In 2024 we were excited to bring 3 new staff members to Rainbow Missions to support our headquarter function. Amanda, who is our new executive assistant. Youwei, who will continue manage our finance function, and Jian Hua will manage our website/newsletter.

Field staff are critical resource for Rainbow Missions to connect with our local organizations, students and families. Nancy, who has been our field staff for a number of years, will continue provide critical support for Chang Chun Angel House Autism Rehab Center, and the visually impaired students at Chang Chun University and Binzhou Medical University.  YY, who has been our key resource to support special needs students in Shen Zhen Shuyu Rehab Center, is moving to Montreal Canada with her family this year. YY will be continue to support Rainbow Missions critical projects relating to our 20th anniversary celebration, as we look for her backfill in the field.

As we look forward to 2025, we are excited to continue partnering with our field organization such as HK North Point Alliance Church to provide training program or special education teachers from the field. In addition to the training program, in 2025, we will invite some parents and their special needs children to attend a camp for special needs families in HK.

As we continue to strengthen our partnership with existing organizations in China and HK, we are also exploring options to expand our services locally by connecting with local nonprofit organizations serving children in similar needs.

God has been faithful to Rainbow Missions for last 20 years as we travelled with Him meeting and serving people who have special needs physically, mentally and emotionally. As we are moving forward in 2025, there is so much more work to do to Glorify God’s Love and Grace.

 

On behalf of entire board and staff, I wish you a happy and healthy new year! We look forward to see all of you at our 20th anniversary celebration in late Sept.

Thank you!
