CPI Partners with Churches to Help Kids & Families in Need
The pandemic has created chaos with so many aspects of our daily lives. Families who never struggled before to equip their kids for the school year now find themselves grappling to meet even basic needs due to economic hardships and rising unemployment. Through our U.S. church partners, CPI desires to help, in Jesus' Name.

Through partnerships with Miller-Valentine and M&S Flooring, CPI received funding to purchase 300 backpacks for school kids in need. And just yesterday CPI received additional funding from an anonymous corporate donor, helping us reach our goal of 500 backpacks!

Through our gracious product donors, CPI has received thousands of pieces of personal care and nutritional items to add to each backpack, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, shampoo, body wash, hand sanitizer, bottled water, and snacks. But we still need SCHOOL SUPPLIES.

Would you, your family, or your church consider helping us with this need? You can either purchase the supplies yourself and bring them to the CPI warehouse at 601 Shotwell Drive in Franklin, Ohio, or you can make a financial donation through our website with SCHOOL SUPPLIES listed in the Comment Section. One hundred percent of your designated donation will be used to purchase these items for kids in need.

If you desire to collect these items, here is a list of what we need:

On Saturday, August 1st, CPI will have a team of volunteers here at our warehouse filling the backpacks with all our donated supplies. Therefore, we need ALL school supplies here by Friday, July 31st at 12 Noon. We realize this is a short time-frame to gather these supplies, but we know God is able! Please contact Kathy, CPI's Office Administrator, at 937-743-2744 or office@caringpartners.org if you have any questions or would like to schedule a time to drop-off supplies.
Backpacks

Our Shipment Arrived!
Bringing the Gift of Sight to Thailand
Thai Eyeglass Ministry
Thanks to everyone who donated to help CPI send thousands of pairs of desperately needed eyeglasses to Thailand. Praise God, the glasses made it from the USA to Thailand and through Thai customs in just a few short weeks!

CPI's National Directors in Thailand, Pastor Jay & Rochelle Orata, are excited to have the opportunity again for their church to share the Gospel in that country through their optical ministry. We praise God for His provision to serve Him during these challenging days.

"But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him" 1 Cor 2:9

Pray Without Ceasing 1 Th 5:17

We praise the Lord for answered prayer for CPI's Director of Ministry Development, Rick Lalli. Rick did not lose his left eye as a result of the eye infection which destroyed his cornea. In fact, the ophthalmic surgeon was able to perform a corneal transplant to replace the damaged cornea in hopes of restoring Rick's sight. So far, Rick's vision is still very limited, and it looks like one or two more surgeries will be needed. Please do continue to pray that God will continue to provide healing for Rick and fully restore his sight.

Pray for CPI as we consider our future international medical mission journeys. So many situations must be considered by our ministry, our travelers, our National Directors, our church partners, and our international healthcare providers as we move forward. We are asking the Lord for His guidance, wisdom & provision during these challenging days.

Please join our CPI leadership team in prayer that through this time of uncertainty, fear & suffering, that the Lord will heal & comfort the sick, that He will be lifted up, and the hope of the Gospel message will spread throughout this world, to His glory!
