Andrew Gordon Jones

Australian Lance Corporal Andrew Gordon Jones, age 25, was killed in the Chora Valley of Afghanistan on May 30, 2011.
Pray for
Andrew

He was shot 4 times as he walked down stairs by a rogue Afghani soldier at a patrol base. 

Andrew Jones grew up in Melbourne. He was an army cook and is described by loving family members as a "cheeky character" who loved serving in the military. "His mates within his unit loved him, not only for his great cooking, but for the great soldier and man he was," they said.

Andrew had been in the army for seven years and displayed “great leadership potential and was a trusted and loyal member of his unit.” said military officials.  He served in East Timor and was deployed to Afghanistan in November last year.

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Andrew Gordon Jones is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
