Radical Love: Duggars Rush to Joplin

We all know that the Duggars are a compassionate, caring family, but earlier this week, they took that concept to the next level. Prepared to be blown away and encouraged like never before...

When the Duggars heard about the tornado that devastated the city of Joplin, Missouri, only an hour and a half north of their home in Northwest Arkansas, they not only prayed for the rescue workers--they became the rescue workers. Sunday evening, Jim Bob, Josh, Jana, John, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, and Josiah drove up to Joplin and spent hours distributing supplies and physically searching for signs of life amidst the rubble of 2,000 fallen buildings. Wow! Talk about radical love!
