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

Please pray! Ventilator switch for Seth


They moved Seth from the oscillator, which he hated and which stresses him out, onto the conventional ventilator, and he is MUCH happier!!! Please join us in asking the Lord's mercy and power in helping Seth stay on the conventional vent and THRIVE on it so he can receive breathing treatments and be weaned off machines altogether.

Grace's breathing continues to improve after her surgery, albeit slower than expected, and the other 3 are doing well. The goal this week is to get David, Will and Marcie onto nasal cannula and get Grace onto CPAP.

They are 1 month old and 2 months young today (born nearly 3 months early). :) We praise God for their little lives that have blessed us so much! We thank God for all of you who are on this journey with us through your prayers, service, gifts, support, encouragement, etc., etc. We are in awe at how the Lord has provided all we need day to day, including strength and courage not of ourselves, and peace that passes understanding for the hard days. Honestly, I deeply hope and pray the hard days are largely, if not totally, behind us. It's so good to see all the babies making strides in the right direction!

In His Hands,
Carrie

  2. Praying Lord for little Seth that his breathing will become less of a strain on him and that he adapts quickly to the new machine so that he can grow strong and soon be breathing on his own. Thanking you Lord for answered prayers for all the little sibs and for helping Carrie, Gavin and Isaac as they go through each day. You are an awesome God and we praise you. NKL
