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

We made it!

Thanks to all for covering us in prayer!  It was a good trip that went quicker than we anticipated.  After a slower start on the first day and a bit of a scare with all the contractions that Carrie had, we've had two good, smooth days with no issues.  Carrie rested well on the way and is now in bed here at the Peterson home.  Her parents, Neal and Jane, have been gracious enough to not only allow us to live at their home for months to come, but have even given up their own master bedroom for the seven of us (Quints, Carrie, and me)!  Isaac has his own room as well.  We are blessed and well taken care of.
