    Thank you for sharing their send-off with us. I too cried, as I know the feelings of parting with family even under the most honorable of circumstances. May our Lord bless and protect them.

    Thank You to The Duggar Family for sharing such a touching family moment of saying good-bye. It is so hard to leave family behind. Your family has touched and will continue to touch so many lives out there in more ways than one. We miss seeing your show so much., but God is faithful, and I know He uses all things and circumstances to His Glory, and He already knows the plans He has for each and everyone of us. You have been such a blessing along the path, and we wish Derick and Jill and little Israel God’s blessings and protection as they preach the Gospel for Jesus Christ! God Bless all of your richly!

    God bless you Jill and Derrick (and Israel) has you continue following God’s path for you. Jill, I’ve watched you seeming to prepare yourself for this journey in the years you’ve shared with us on TV – mission trips, studying Spanish, mid-wife training, and your constant and joyful sharing God’s Word and will with your TV audience just by the way you live your life. One of my former piano students has followed this special path too. She is with the Gospel for Asia missions and lately has been keeping us aware of the continuing situations in Nepal. You are all in our prayers and thoughts. Save journey!
