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

SETH IS HOME!!!!

Praise God, we are at home with all five quintuplets!  It was a long afternoon at the hospital, but we got all the training on the equipment, did all the paperwork and waiting, running to and from the car, pharmacy, etc., but now we are home!  Seth is doing pretty well.  I (Gavin) am a bit overwhelmed with all the new stuff we have to do for Seth.  It really isn't tons, but will just take some time to figure out and schedule and get into a rhythm.

Believe us, pictures WILL follow, but I just wanted to get this out before the news tonight.  A crew from CBS 11 in Dallas/FT. Worth filmed Seth in the hospital and him coming home and it will be on tonight at 10 on channel 11.

We are incredibly grateful to all of you who have prayed for us and especially for Seth to bring him to this point.  All glory to God for saving his life and allowing him to rejoin his siblings!

Much more to follow. . . .
