19 Kids and Counting stars Jill Duggar and her hubby, Derick Dillard, are about to take the family business abroad. The family has been dealing with a lot of controversy in the wake of Josh Duggar confessing to sexually molesting five underage girls when he was younger. While the TLC stars have been laying low because of the scandal, it seems that they are ready to get out of the USA for an extended period of time. Not only will this time away give them some rest from all the talk about their family, but they are also planning on doing some good while overseas.

According to Radar Online, Derick and Jill explained that they would be spreading the word of God abroad for an extended period of time.

"God has put a desire in our hearts to serve Him internationally for longer than the typical short-term mission trip," the couple explained in a statement that was released on the Duggar's official blog. "It's something we've prayed about together in an effort to seek God's plan for our lives in His service."

In addition to that, it seems that Derick's decision to quit Wal-Mart was also explained, stating that it was so he could participate in the mission trip.

"Earlier this year we shared our plans with our families and in May, I shared this decision with my manager at Wal-Mart." the couple continued in the statement. "After much prayer and seeking Godly counsel, we realized that taking this opportunity and moving overseas in order to serve is the best option for our family."

The couple is also asking fans and friends to donate to their cause, as they aren't making money now that their TLC show has been put on hiatus and might even be facing cancellation.
