This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We lived in Papua New Guinea for 18 years working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God in support of Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, worked in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Currently, we are serving the mission in the USA in Recruiting, pilot training, and facilities maintenance work. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and married Meagan in 2025. 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

Pictures of the boys

Will in his pumpkin hat from Sarah :)
Will's HUGE! 8 lb 4 oz, and not even "due" for another 9 days!
Uncle Kenneth (Carrie's brother) and David
No, not another bath for David: more pix from last night. :)
This gives a good perspective of how small David still is: 6 lb 2 oz yesterday
(he gained 6 oz in his 4 days at home!) Marcie is also 6 lb 2, and Grace is 4 lb 14
Marmi cuddling David in the cozy blanket she and Murmps (great-grandma) made
My happy, alert little punkin, Seth, in his pumpkin hat! He's 6 lb 3 oz
Another cute one!
Praise God he's still doing great; please keep praying during this weaning time!

    Ha - I had to stop for that one. My first thought was, "Why on earth are you weaning them NOW??" Weaning- from ventilator!! Ok, praying you'll be nursing this little one soon!

    What to say except "thank you, Lord". May each of these precious ones continue to flourish in the strength of God.

    Thank you, Lord! Our prayers continue, asking that You protect and heal each of these sweeties. Please give the doctors the knowledge they need to get all of them home safe and whole. Thank you for Your mercy, grace and blessings. Amen. NKL

    And, thank you, Carrie and Gavin, for the pics and keeping us up-to-date on their progress and for allowing us to vicariously travel this road with you. It is a journey of love.

    Gavin and Garrie,
    I've been praying daily for you and the babies since they were born. Every work of the Lord's hand is marvelous, but Will, David, Seth, Marcie and Grace, in all their smallness, has shown forth the greatness of His work. Their little bodies growing, the world praying, your faith being strengthened. Five babies bringing Glory to His name - oh what joy! Praying for all of you.

    SOOOOO rejoicing with you as the journey continues and praying that God will continue to sustain you all and be close to you and your 6 beautiful children. Thankyou for sharing with us and for posting so regularly so we know how things are doing - and especially for putting up the beautiful slideshow and photo's. It is a joy and a privilege to be part of your lives - from the other side of the world. God Bless,
