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 very sick-- please pray!

As with a couple other kids in our community here, the nasty cold has gone to Seth's lungs, further lowering his oxygen saturations.  He is now on oxygen at the house.  If there is not a significant improvement in his oxygen level over the next day or two, it may mean he will need to go to Australia.  We fervently pray that will not be the case, as that will cause so many other challenges and complications to an already challenging time as we are still settling in.  Thank you for praying with us!  All of the quints now have fevers, runny noses, and coughs, plus David has an ear infection along with Seth.

We are so thankful for the people who have come to the house to help out in several ways with the kids and household chores!

Thank you again for your prayers.  We fully trust that God does know what He's doing.  It IS for our best, it's just hard to accept and understand.

    "Psalm 41:3
    The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness."

    Dear Lord of Mercy and Father of Comfort,

    You are the One we turn to for help in moments of weakness and times of need. I ask you to be with Seth and all the Quints in this illness. Psalm 107:20 says that you send out your Word and heal. So then, please send your healing Word to all of them. In the name of Jesus, drive out all infirmity and sickness from his body. ~Amen

    Lord, you know Seth inside and out. Please clear his lungs and restore his breathing to normal. Push fear out and fill the family with your peace.
