For The Gospel

Welcome to Day 1 of our first full day in Quimistan Honduras. This morning began with our group morning devotion from-

 Romans 1:1-7 "Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."

As a group we discussed many scriptural truths that seemed to surface in each of the team members as a result of their study of the passage. The main thread of thought for us as a team landed somewhere around this. "As a servant of Christ we are set apart FOR THE GOSPEL. 
In this setting apart we are given grace and apostleship for the mission of Christ among all nations." 

To this truth our team committed that all we would do in this nation would be FOR THE GOSPEL. 
The pictures below on this day were taken in hopes of showing you both some happenings and projects For The Gospel. 



Painting is now underway on what is the Main building at Tranquilidad.
The new construction on the Tranquilidad property is adding excitement and plenty of busyness. 
This new building when complete will serve as the Admin Building and additional housing 
for the Traquilidad children's home.
Storage shelves were built today in order to properly store needs of the facility. 
Interior tables received second coats of stain and touch ups.
These tables will be where all the children living in the home will eat their many meals together. 
First touch of interior design began today. 
Curtains were hung in all the rooms making it feel one step closer to home. 
The closet unit was sanded and received treatment of termite repellent.
