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

Marmi and Papa visit us

 Hi all!

It’s so long since I updated; life has been unusually overwhelming to me (but full of blessings, too!). Most recently, David has had Flu B after having had Flu A over Christmas. He’s just been miserable, so sore and exhausted and depressed. We appreciate any prayer on his behalf — also, that none of the rest of us get it, Lord willing!!


In very fun news, Marmi and Papa came to see us! As Marcie said, “I’m always so happy when they come and so sad when they leave!”




Seth wanted to take Papa to see the Commemorative Air Force WWII bombers at the airport where Gavin worked when we were newlyweds and Isaac was a baby! Seth is obsessed with WWII aircraft, and we are friends with one of the mechanics. Will thoroughly enjoyed the tour too. David was sick. 😢




Being lady like in Waxahachie for lunch with my two lovely moms! 

Gracie’s love bird loves startling Marmi by suddenly landing on her.

Will’s job last week was to chop off a dead branch.

Will with his bestie and cousin! They just love playing together every Friday when he’s off school.

This kitten came to us emaciated and beat up and terrified. She’s darling, and keeps coming back! She always looks dreamy-eyed rather than terrified now.
