Evangelism Through Medicine^®

By God's grace, before the pandemic, Caring Partners equipped our Thai National Pastor Jay Orata and his church in Chiang Rai, Thailand with the tools to establish their own eyeglass clinics, to reach people for Jesus Christ in an unreached land.

Praise God, Covid is on the decline in Thailand, and this is allowing Pastor Jay and his church to ramp up their efforts to reach people with the Gospel through the church's eyeglass clinics.

Last month, the church served in one of the Hill Tribe villages in northern Thailand. Many of the Hill Tribe people groups lack even access to basic healthcare as many do not have Thai citizenship. Hundreds of villagers were able to come to the church's clinic to receive eyeglasses, and after hearing a clear presentation of the Gospel message in their own language, 65 men, women, and children made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ - to God be the glory, great things He has done!

Here's is a wonderful testimony of one of those new believers - the words of Chaphoe, a 67 year old farmer:

2022 marks Caring Partners International's 30th year in Ministry! Our Board & Leadership Team are excited to honor this anniversary year with a special return to an in-person CPI Banquet, taking place on Thursday, April 28th at the Savannah Center in West Chester, Ohio.

Please mark your calendars - you won't want to miss this opportunity to be a part of celebrating all the Lord has done and continues to accomplish through the healthcare ministry of CPI! The Banquet will be held in person, but the event will also be live-streamed to allow anyone not able to attend to still witness the special night.

Interested in attending in person? Interested in becoming a Corporate Sponsor? Other questions? Please reach out to Rick Lalli at r.lalli@caringpartners.org or call Rick or Rhonda Reed at our CPI office at 937-743-2744

Today, a CPI surgical team arrives in Guatemala to perform obstetrical surgeries. CPI is blessed to have a wonderful partnership with a group of Guatemalan physicians who donate their time to serve with our U.S. teams during our healthcare clinics. Some of these Guatemalan physicians also serve at a polyclinic outside of Fraijanes, and this is where our U.S. and Guatemalan physician partners will perform the surgeries. Please join us in prayer for the women and their families as they prepare for these operations. Many of the patients have needed these types of surgeries for quite some time. Pray for our Guatemalan church partner who will host the families and patients as some patients must travel quite a distance to the polyclinic. Pray for both physical and spiritual healing to take place, and for the Lord to use this healthcare outreach in a mighty way, for His glory!
