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

Approval! . . . and a delay.

     We're praising the Lord that Carrie's approval from the PNG government came through last night.  Unfortunately it was too late for her to get on the flight this week.  We were encouraged that at least the commercial flight next week is an option, only to find that in recent days the cost of the ticket has increased almost $4000!  Seeing that the World Food Program flight would only arrive six days later than the aforementioned commercial option, we've decided it's much more prudent and financially responsible to wait the additional days for her return.  

    For the family here, it's hard to think that she won't be back in Ukarumpa for another two weeks and then we'll have another two weeks of quarantine separation.  But, just as He always is and always proves, the Lord is more than sufficient to sustain us and help us thrive and grow even in the separation.

    Many continued thanks to all for your prayers!

In Christ,

Gavin
