Derick and Jill Dillard have found a new calling while they fulfill their ministry in Central America. Aside from sharing the Gospel there, the two are now going to work with a ministry called Seekers of Souls (S.O.S.) and help people strengthen their marriages.
S.O.S. has already conducted several trips to Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala to promote Christ-centred marriages. The S.O.S. workers warmly welcomed Derick and Jill, saying they would be perfect additions to their team.
In a statement, S.O.S. shared its excitement to work with the couple who starred in the TLC documentary called "Jill and Jessa: Counting On."
"It is SOS's privilege to introduce Derick and Jill Dillard to the Latin mission. They will come alongside Alex Lara, our Director of Missions for Latin America, to assist, preach, and engage the new regions. We have prepared, trained and now appointed them. Derick will focus on the men and young people, while Jill will focus on women and children ministry. Both of them will help with strengthening and encouraging married couples, which is mostly neglected in the Latin world, and they have already led a group from the church to a new region to preach the Gospel," it said.
The Dillards moved to Central America last year with their son Israel David. The transition was not easy, and moving was extremely difficult especially for Jill who was used to being in close proximity with her family, the Duggars from the former "19 Kids and Counting."
Because of her and her husband's ministry, Jill missed out on several family milestones such as the arrival of Ben and Jessa Seewald's first son Spurgeon Elliot. They also spent their first Christmas in Central America last year. The couple jokingly admitted it was unusual for them to welcome the holidays with sweat on their brows since the temperature there is much warmer than in their hometown in Arkansas, U.S.A.
