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 Carrie's return

Thank you to all who have been praying for Carrie, both before we heard the wonderful medical news as well as since, as we look for ways to get her back here quickly. 

In order to return to PNG, she needs approval from the government. The paperwork is submitted and we are praying that she might get approval from the Controller's office this weekend.  That would allow her to  get on a Monday flight from the US through Vancouver and Hong Kong to POM on Wednesday.  We know it is unlikely, but that anything can happen.  We would appreciate your prayers.  There is the same flight the following week and then the following week is the World Food Program flight, on which she is booked if nothing else works.  

We are so thankful to the Ukarumpa community here. So many have offered help, provided meals, let our kids play at their house, etc.!  This is a wonderful community in which to single parent!  We are cared for and doing quite well even though we miss our Mom/wife a whole lot.

In Christ,

Gavin
