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

Pray for David

The hospital just called us to let us know David had a large bowel movement and there was blood in it.  It is a possible indication of necrotizing enterocolitis, a serious preemie problem with the bowel.  It is possibly an infection, but the cause of it is not fully known.  They are taking blood, stopping his feeds, starting antibiotics, etc.  Please pray for his healing and protection.

Thank you all!
Gavin

  1. Psalm 41:3~ "The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness."

    Dear Lord of Mercy and Father of Comfort,

    You are the One I turn to for help in moments of weakness and times of need. I ask you to be with your child, David, in this illness. Psalm 107:20 says that you send out your Word and heal. So then, please send your healing Word to him. In the name of Jesus, drive out all infirmity and sickness from his body.

    Reach out and touch his parents, give them the quiet strength and faith they need to pray and to know that You are the great Physician and that You alone will heal David.

    Please restore David to full health, dear Father. Remove all fear and doubt from his parents minds and hearts. By the power of your Holy Spirit, and may you, Lord, be glorified throughout David's life and the service of his parents in Your name.

    As you heal and renew David and as he grows strong through his youth and into adulthood, Lord, may he bless and praise you.

    All of this I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.

    Amen.
