Giving Sight to the Blind
Our Eyeglass Ministry in Northern Thailand
Through the work of CPI's National Directors in Thailand, Pastor Jay & Rochelle Orata, Caring Partners is providing desperately needed eyeglasses to unreached people groups in northern Thailand.

The Oratas and their church have been able to minister to numerous "Hill Tribe" peoples in the province of Chiang Rai, including the Karen, Akha & Hmong people groups. The work has slowed due to COVID-19, but God willing, the church plans to start up the work again later this summer.

In order to be ready for their summer clinics, the Thai church needs more glasses. CPI missionaries Dr. Adam & Rhonda Reed were planning to travel to Thailand on June 1st, to visit with the Oratas and to transport more than a thousand eyeglasses. Sadly, those plans have been canceled due to the pandemic, but CPI has found an international eyeglass ministry that is able to ship the glasses to Thailand to outfit the church's optical ministry.

On faith, CPI is placing the order for eyeglasses, believing the Lord will provide the necessary funds. The cost for the glasses, shipping, & custom fees will be $1,760. Would you like to be a part of this work to reach people for Jesus Christ while providing the gift of sight?

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind,...." Luke 4:18
We Need Help!
Can You Connect Us with a Trucking Company?
By God's grace, Caring Partners is receiving more donations of personal care, home health materials, and nutritional supplies to share with our church partners here in the United States. These products are essential for our churches as they minister to at-risk children, the homeless, and the unemployed during the aftermath of business & school closures.

CPI now has a 26 foot Box Truck to use for pickups & deliveries within a few hours of our Franklin, Ohio warehouse, but some of the donations that our ministry has been offered are more than 250 miles from our facility, and require a pickup by a semi truck. CPI needs to find a trucking company willing to help us with negotiated rates, so we can still bring the product to our Franklin facility at a very low cost.

Do you have any trucking company contacts that might help us? Please reach out to CPI missionary & Director of Mission Resources Andrew Wienhoff at 937-743-2744 or a.wienhoff@caringpartners.org

THANK YOU to our EVERYONE who particpated in our APRIL 23rd ONLINE AUCTION - it was a GREAT SUCCESS!

Pray Without Ceasing 1 Th 5:17

Please pray with our ministry that God will provide more consistent donors of personal care products and non-perishable food that CPI in turn can donate to our church partners for their food pantries and local mission outreach. Also pray for our need for reduced trucking shipping fees for these donated products.

Pray for our international mission partners & National Directors. Currently, the country of Guatemala has established a curfew, and grocery stores are only open with limited hours. And pray for the Lord's leading regarding our surgical mission trip to Belize this coming July. Final plans and approvals must be received soon if the mission is to proceed as currently planned.

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!
