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

Random Brisbane and Ukarumpa photos and a big prayer request

Seth's and my illnesses have gotten worse and Will came down with the fever and croupy-sounding cough too. My throat hurts really badly, like I'm getting laryngitis. I'm not concerned about myself - I know I'll heal with little problem - but I feel sorry for the boys if they have the same painful throat, plus I'm especially concerned that this infection not progress down into Seth's lungs. He gave us a bit of a scare a couple of nights ago when his temperature went way up, causing him to pant and lowering his oxygen saturations. Thank God he hasn't had any issues with wheezing. We sure pray those lungs remain clear and open!

  1. Oh boy, I am so sorry to hear that your ill Carrie and Seth.... Traveling by plane is sketchy at best with all those souls trapped in the same silver tube for hours on end! My DH always seems to pick something up when we travel... Sending prayers of healing to you both. Thank you for the update and all the wonderful pictures, we enjoyed every single one of them. Rest when you can and feel better soon...

  2. I'm so sorry you and the boys are sick! Transition is rough in so many ways. Extra prayers being said for Seth's lungs to stay clear and for you all to recover quickly!
