Every other week, CPI is donating 6 - 8 pallets of food and personal care supplies to local churches, church-based pantries, and ministries in Southwest, OH. There has been an increased difficulty for pantries and ministries to receive donated food and personal care products due to increased cost and a lack of supply. At the same time, our community is in need of this food and these products more than ever. Caring Partners has been blessed to receive donations from a variety of organizations to distribute to our partners here locally.

These photos are from one of our ministry partners in Cincinnati, a ministry providing sports camps and discipleship for at-risk youth. Currently, they are hosting football camps three times a week, and the snacks, sweets, nuts, dried fruit, protein bars, and water that CPI is providing are being used for this great ministry. This ministry is also using personal care products we can provide, such as toilet paper, to serve the families of these kids. Recently, they shared of a single mom raising 7 kids who they were able to provide these products to as a blessing!

Caring Partners is in need of medicine and vitamins as we serve around 1,000 patients on each typical international medical missions trip. Each person that comes to our clinic receives a packet of vitamins and any medicine that they may need.

From June 22nd - June 28th, a CPI team of 24 from the U.S.A joined others in Guatemala to serve as a tool for a local church in Santa Elena Barillas, Guatemala to reach their community with the Gospel. Each of the 685 patients treated by our team heard the Gospel from a member of this local church! We praise God that 79 made decisions for Christ!

There were two different patients whose lives were saved as a result of coming to our clinic. Praise God with us for how He orchestrated their steps to bring them to our clinic. Please also pray for all those who made a decision for Christ, that they would be discipled and grow in their relationship with the Lord. Also, pray for those who heard the Gospel, but haven't yet made a decision for Christ, that the Holy Spirit would be working in their lives.

This was the first CPI clinic in the community of Santa Elena Barillas. We thank the Lord for the opportunity to serve in new communities in Guatemala, as there are so many who still need to hear the Gospel!
