My friend Doug, from Ottawa, has been a friend since 1996. I liked him the first time we met. He can draw you in, engage you, and make you feel valued in any one conversation. Even when you first meet.

Doug and I worked on the Billy Graham Mission in Ottawa, and then later connected through Arrow, and lastly, Floyd and I approached him to be one of our advisors on the Governing Council.

Doug invited me to be part of a group who were working on mentorship, and we have become a ten-man brotherhood – The Barnabas Brothers. We meet in person once a year, lately in Alberta.

Doug had an invitation to be in London UK recently. He connected with me to see if I could get him an invite into IHQ, having tried once before unsuccessfully; he wanted some help. I set him up with some of the Canadians who are in London, and this morning I got this picture from Doug, with a thanks!
