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

Christmas cheer with Gavin’s family



We love Marmi! She’s such a great sport putting up with all our large family hubbub! Papa is too!


One very big, happy family! I think we all had a wonderful time together, and we’re thrilled with our newest addition: Meagan! She and Isaac were able to fly out to join us. (We drove.)


The cousins playing a chaotic game of catch and keep-away on a beautiful afternoon.

Happy Late Fall!

The trees here in Texas are only fully “turned” as of this week. It’s glorious weather! I love living in the South during winter. Gavin just snapped this photo of the quints with our dog, Captain. ❤️ All of us are well and busy. A few photos and brief updates follow. 




Just finished at my niece’s ballet, The Nutcracker (of course). She was a snowflake! She’s been in remission for 6 years - thanks again to everyone who prayed.



With Marcie after her basketball game last night! 



Gavin has had several really meaningful, productive, enjoyable trips to his Alma Mater, LeTourneau University, as part of his new role in recruitment for our mission organizations. He even taught a couple of classes on weather patterns. On Thursday he got to catch up with his favorite professor, Mr. B.! What a blessing! 





Gracie is sporting new braces and pretending to be a nerd with my glasses. 😀



Christmas treats with a best friend, Grandma and Grandpadad, and a sweet cousin!




At Dallas Baptist University after their Christmas concert. Only Seth went along! 



Will enjoying helping and entertaining my toddler niece, who is quite possibly his favorite person!
