Josiah Duggar, Lawson Bates, and Nathan Bates spent the day in New York City before heading to the Philippines for a month-long mission trip. ABC's Juju Chang gave them a tour of the Natural History Museum and ABC studios.

What are they doing on this trip? I'm a little unclear on what the goals are for these "mission" trips.
ReplyDeleteI see (maybe) Nathan with Jana and Michaelle Bates would have been a good mate for John David. If a girl is just in a courtship with someone who is not engaged is it 'wrong' for another guy to make a play for her? This is not from a Duggar I am just a curious fan.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL PICTURE !!!!!
ReplyDeletePrayers go to Josiah,Lawson and Nathan for there safety. God be with them.

I'd love for the Duggars and Bates to help those in need here in the USA!!!
ReplyDeleteJinger and Lawson would make the cutest couple!!!
ReplyDeleteSure wish i had the money to go on mission trips like they do. Must be nice.
ReplyDeleteThere are a myriad of ways to get funded for mission trips.Contact your church or just Google it...Good luck :-)
DeleteSo nice to see Josiah!
ReplyDeleteDidn't Joseph and JD go to the Philippines last year with the Bates after the disaster?
ReplyDeleteLawson and Nathan went on a mission trip to the Philippines last year with John-David. :)

I wonder if Anonymous numbers 5,6, and 7 are the same person? The comments have the same "tone" in them.
ReplyDeleteLove the work these kids are doing on these mission trips.
ReplyDeleteWish everyone would stop trying to match the Bates with Duggars. Lets just leave it up to the Lord to do the match making.
Thats so awesome!
ReplyDeleteHow do they find those mission trips? It sounds like a dream come true - free flight, all meals provided, visiting a new country/culture, and in addition having a feeling that you are being helpful! I wonder what exactly they will be doing in Philipines? What help they are providing?
ReplyDeleteI just want to know what they actually do on these mission trips? What is a mission trip? Ellie and Lilly could you shed light for us viewers? When Derek was in Nepal he was there for a long time and when the Duggars go they are there for short visits. Just curious.

ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous 1,
The boys' trips to the Philippines focus on bringing medical supplies to and sharing their faith with typhoon victims.

ReplyDeleteI've ofter wondered that too! When I was a kid, missions were arranged by the church or a group of churches and they were within North America. Now, mission trips are a business and there are companies (like http://www.adventures.org/) that organize them.
Thanks, I'm doing some research on the outcomes of the mission trips. Look forward to hearing more.
ReplyDeleteThis is exciting! Where in the Philippines? My parents are from there...
ReplyDeleteHi Jazzy4Christ,
DeleteThey are in Tacloban. :)
