This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We (usually) live in Papua New Guinea and are working to support Bible translations in progress around the country. Gavin is a helicopter pilot and Carrie is a Public Health worker, primarily working with HIV/AIDS awareness. Isaac, our first son, was born in January, 2004. Our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were all born on August 9th, 2012 and a whole new adventure is just beginning!

Gavin Gone (Briefly) :)
Gavin is away at a MATA (Mission at the Airport) in Whiting, NJ. He left early Thursday morning and will be there until Tuesday. It's a great chance for him to visit friends and "family"out there on Sunday, at Mountain Ridge Bible Chapel - people I dearly wish I could see and hug in person, too! They've been super special "aunts" and "uncles" for as long as I can remember. That's my mom's home area.
Of course, the prayer requests for Gavin during this MATA are for safety and wisdom and grace as he shares the importance of Bible translation with passengers and onlookers. We also pray he will recognize opportunities to explain the ultimate importance of a personal relationship with the God of the Bible through Jesus Christ.
Thank God that aside from a cough and cold and the fatigue that is completely to be expected, I am feeling really well! I sleep quite a bit, but Isaac is being a trooper and helping me out with his patience and good attitude. He is quick to stop me from doing something that he thinks might hurt the babies (e.g., carrying a pizza box or picking a piece of trash off the floor) and offers to do it instead, sweet boy! I know his dad had a serious talk with him before he left. :)
