This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God through Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, works in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were born in 2012.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6

Gavin Gone (Briefly) :)


Gavin is away at a MATA (Mission at the Airport) in Whiting, NJ. He left early Thursday morning and will be there until Tuesday. It's a great chance for him to visit friends and "family"out there on Sunday, at Mountain Ridge Bible Chapel - people I dearly wish I could see and hug in person, too! They've been super special "aunts" and "uncles" for as long as I can remember. That's my mom's home area.

Of course, the prayer requests for Gavin during this MATA are for safety and wisdom and grace as he shares the importance of Bible translation with passengers and onlookers. We also pray he will recognize opportunities to explain the ultimate importance of a personal relationship with the God of the Bible through Jesus Christ.

Thank God that aside from a cough and cold and the fatigue that is completely to be expected, I am feeling really well! I sleep quite a bit, but Isaac is being a trooper and helping me out with his patience and good attitude. He is quick to stop me from doing something that he thinks might hurt the babies (e.g., carrying a pizza box or picking a piece of trash off the floor) and offers to do it instead, sweet boy! I know his dad had a serious talk with him before he left. :)
