Without financial support, the couple went on with their ministry. They were even criticized for accepting support from friends and fans to sustain their needs in the mission field.

They are far from medical facilities and a decent home where they could live comfortably. The sacrifices they make to serve other people is beyond compare.
Nevertheless, in an article published this week, the International Business Times, quoted Jana Duggar as saying I try to look for ways to bless or serve someone else,"- so generosity does run in the family.
During his single days, Derick Dillard met Jill through her father Jim Bob Duggar who was Derick's prayer partner while doing missions in Nepal.
