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

Spring Break!

 Life has been so full-on (in a good way)! I am finally posting some photos. We just returned from our last family trip with Isaac in PNG. It was a wonderful one, and we're grateful his friend Kori could join us.We drove down the Lae and then took a quick bout trip up the coast to near Salamaua Island. [Lae is where Amelia Earhart last was seen alive. She took off from the Lae airstrip. Salamaua and Lae are also WWII battle sites.]


Everyone had a GREAT time and I know the kids will be begging to go again when we return to PNG after our upcoming furlough. We leave PNG June 7th. Isaac starts college mid-August.  


The water is SO warm!



Our boat captain inserted himself when he saw we were doing a selfie. 😄



Getting close to our destination!



A quick playtime on the beach. Lae is behind us, not visible from this distance.



A 20-minute walk to the waterfall



David daring to jump with his Daddy's and guide's help. All of us but Gracie jumped into the deep part.


Gavin and me - it was surprisingly cold but felt amazing after the heat








Gavin and David

Happy and heading home
