Jill Dillard, Derick, Dillard, and Israel Dillard





Jill Dillard, Israel Dillard, and friends





The Dillards have been in Central America since mid-February , and they have plans to return to Arkansas soon for the birth of their second son, due in early July. They have been working hard to share the Gospel, encouragement, and aid with those they meet on the mission field.In addition to going about their regular missionary duties, Jill and Derick have also lost two friends over the past few weeks. The first was a 20-year-old who was brutally murdered while selling coconuts at a roadside stand. A short while later, a Christian friend who was also a member of the same family was murdered and his body found by a river.The Dillards have asked friends and fans to pray for the family, who also lost a grandmother around the same time, as they grieve for their loved ones.If you enjoy this blog, check out our other blogs (and).Photos are property of dillardfamily.com and may not be used without written permission.
