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

Mt. Wilhelm in late December


Gavin and Isaac took an epic trek up Mt. Wilhelm, the tallest mountain in PNG. It's over 14,000 ft. so it's also the coldest part of PNG by far! It can get below freezing at night.

The lake at base camp. It's a grueling hike up there, taking around 4 hours.

You can see part of a landslide that has been mostly cleared behind Isaac. Rainy season + dirt roads on steep mountains = landslides!

A helpful crowd towing a car through an exceptionally muddy area. (This is not the main highway in PNG, but rather a bush road going up to the mountain, so certain extreme conditions are expected! The people were lovely.)
