We love you. Thanks for praying and helping us to this day.
Carrie for us all
Psalm 61:2
From the ends of the earth will I cry out to you, when my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
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

On the way to the airport!
We are about halfway there. The kids were desperate to go "bye-bye" but obviously have no idea how long this bye-bye will be. They are really sensing the turmoil, so it was a relief to leave the house. Please pray for those we leave behind and for us (all 12 of us, including our travel helpers) as we go, for safety, health, peace and joy, and of course for Seth to continue thriving.

We all prayed for your family in church today and know that those prayers follow you as you travel. Praying for grace for your health, peace and protection.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels, happy (sleepy) babies......peace for you and Gavin and your traveling partners! Will be "praying you home"....
ReplyDeletePraying God's protection and mercy for the long trip and His ministry for you in New Guinea! It has been such a joy to keep up with your dear family and see the ways God has used your testimony bringing Him glory. You will be in my prayers for the years ahead. Our son is a missionary in Kenya so this mother's heart will be praying for all 8 of you. Love from Houston, Marty
ReplyDeletePraying for God's protection for you all. we will pray as a family every day for you. I pray the babies will sleep since you are starting off at bedtime. I have friends moving there in January with 5 kids. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThank you for blessing us by making it to Faith Bible Church this a.m. When Seth saw yours truly, he put out his arms to hold him: a treasured birthday gift (thank you Lord). What a sight it would be if we could all see the angels escorting you all the way :). You are all in His Mighty Hands. Blessings and prayers,
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you all are landing. Hope the babies and helpers all are good.
ReplyDeleteBeen tracking your progress all day, glad to see you are on the ground, Hope the babies did well.. Prayers
ReplyDeleteWooHoo! On the ground I see! I imagine the kids are running everywhere after being confined for so long....I prayed that they would sleep most of the way there! Enjoy a few days of rest and relaxation in Brisbane....such a beautiful place to rest......blessings and safe journey the rest of the way home! I'll be watching your progress!
ReplyDeleteGo, Jones family, go! Praying now for everyone to adjust to the time change! Hope all is going as smoothly as it can. God be with you!
