Caring Partners International

What Caring Partners International does

Caring Partners International is a 501(c)(3) Christian non-profit ministry founded in 1992 and headquartered in Franklin, Ohio. The organization's core function is operating short-term medical mission trips and distributing medical supplies to underserved populations in Guatemala, Belize, Thailand, and Ecuador, while also running domestic community-care programs. It serves a multi-sided constituency comprising individual donors, church mission budgets, foundation grantors, volunteer mission participants, and international beneficiaries. There is no software, platform, or digital product component to the offering; the value proposition is entirely programmatic and relational.

The ministry operates four distinct programs: Medical Mission Trips (short-term volunteer deployments to international field sites), the Medical Kit Program (physical medical supply distribution to field partners), the Tri-State Care Network (regional care coordination), and Restore Community (a domestic community-based initiative). Operational infrastructure centers on a 10,000-square-foot warehouse facility in Franklin, Ohio, which the organization has held debt-free since 2009 and uses as the logistics hub for medical supply sorting, inventory, and pre-mission preparation. Headcount is reported at 1–10 personnel, with mission trip execution and supply chain support heavily dependent on volunteer labor.

Caring Partners generates operating revenue through channels typical of faith-based non-profits: individual donations, church mission budget allocations, foundation grants, and participant-paid mission trip fees priced at $2,900–$3,600 per trip. There is no disclosed digital revenue stream, subscription, or licensing model. The operating model is capital-conservative, debt-free, and labor-lean, with growth dependent on donor generosity and volunteer mobilization rather than external capital infusion.

Core offering

Caring Partners International equips Bible-believing churches with organized medical mission trips to Guatemala, Belize, Ecuador, and Thailand, and supplies those teams with donated medical equipment, medications, and pre-packaged Medical Kits from its Franklin, Ohio warehouse. The organization also operates the Tri-State Care Network and Restore Community program to distribute home-health and hygiene supplies to underserved local populations, and accepts monetary and in-kind donations to fund the ministry.

Product overview

Caring Partners International (CPI) is a 501(c)(3) Christian ministry that operates as a single unified service organization focused on 'Evangelism Through Medicine®.' The organization offers four interconnected core programs: Medical Mission Trips (international teams deployed to Guatemala, Belize, Ecuador, Thailand), the Medical Kit Program (pre-packaged supply kits for mission teams), the Medical Supply Donation Program (collection and distribution of medical supplies from their Ohio warehouse), and the Tri-State Care Network/Restore Community (domestic community care distribution). Supporting services include Donor Advised Fund administration, monetary donation processing, and E-Newsletter subscriptions. There is no software product or platform architecture—the organization is a non-profit ministry, not a technology company.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Project HOPE: Global health and humanitarian NGO that deploys medical volunteers and donates supplies to underserved regions; broader in scope than CPI but operates in the same medical volunteer + supply donation category.
• Mercy Ships: Large faith-based medical NGO operating floating hospital ships delivering free healthcare in developing countries; addresses the same medical missions space as CPI but at a much larger institutional scale.
• Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA): National association of Christian healthcare professionals that runs short-term mission trips and training programs — serves a comparable volunteer base of faith-driven clinicians as CPI.

Direct peers

• MAP International: Christian NGO that collects, warehouses, and distributes donated medicines and medical supplies globally — a direct operational analog to CPI's Medical Supply Donation Program and Medical Kit Program.
• Samaritan's Purse / World Medical Mission: The dominant evangelical medical missions organization, deploying short-term healthcare volunteer teams and shipping medical supplies globally — directly comparable to CPI's 'Evangelism Through Medicine®' model, but at vastly larger scale.
• Medical Teams International: Faith-rooted nonprofit that mobilizes medical volunteers and distributes donated medical supplies to underserved communities worldwide, overlapping directly with CPI's mission trip and Medical Supply Donation Program.

Emerging players

• Baptist Global Response: Southern Baptist relief and medical missions sending network that mobilizes church-sponsored volunteer teams — uses a comparable church-as-funnel model to CPI's Faith Promise approach.
• Christian Health Service Corps: Faith-based nonprofit placing Christian healthcare professionals in long- and short-term international service — overlapping with CPI's medical volunteer deployment and spiritual-integrated care model.
• MAMA Project: Smaller faith-based nonprofit running short-term medical mission trips and child nutrition programs in Latin America — a closer-to-scale analog of CPI's Guatemala and Belize operations.

Others

• International Aid: Christian nonprofit focused on collecting and distributing donated medical supplies and medicines overseas — adjacent supplier/distribution peer relevant to CPI's Medical Supply Donation Program economics.
