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

Back in the air again!

Yes, Gavin is getting his wings back!  Rotors, more specifically.  I just arrived at the JAARS Center in Waxhaw, NC, where I plan to do some recurrent flight training after almost a year out of the pilot's seat.  A bit later this week, we plan to fly the helicopter up to Maryland where we will land at a Christian school and share with the students about mission aviation and Bible translation.  After that, we plan to continue on to New Jersey where we will be sharing and giving rides at a Christian camp/Rehabilitation Center over the Memorial Day weekend.

Needless to say, I'm very excited to be getting back into flying.  Please first of all pray for Carrie and the kids back at "the ranch" without me.  This is our first longer term separation (10 days) since the quints were born and I'm sure there are going to be a lot of challenges for Carrie.  Again, we are so thankful for the helpers we have.  We are also very thankful that the babies are getting to bed pretty consistently at around 8 PM and staying asleep (for the most part) until around 6 or 7.

I would also appreciate prayers for myself as I refresh my flying skills, speak with people of all ages about our organization/Bible translation/Christ, and for wisdom and safety as I fly many people in the helicopter.

Thank you all!

Gavin
