I built steps on our porch so Jeannie can climb out of the canoe After her hip replacement steps are very difficult for her.
Jeannie and I standing on our down stairs porch.We have waterfront property, all the way around our house
The first time Jeannie saw our living room and kitchen she cried.We could see the people down below through the floor and rats
could come in everywhere. There were holes in the walls as big as soft balls.
First I installed a new floor and put up inside walls
Then we built cabinets, bought a sink and a propane 2 burner stove and purchased this table and chairs. She loves her apartment now.

A Brief Report
I left Makoko Wednesday,
March 24th to an amazing surprise
"Farewell Event" planned by the Bale
and people of the village.
About 50 canoes gathered
at my house and people lined
the waterways with signs saying
"Dave Douglass, We Love You,
We will Miss You"
All through the village people
waved and thanked me
for coming as about
100 people accompanied me
in canoes to the dock.
I will put a video of that
"Boat Parade" on the Blog
when I arrive home.

Meet my "Other Mother" a precious Muslim Lady.This is the mother of Kutirat, the girl I led to Christ a few
weeks ago. She treats me like her son and is so sweet to me.
I could not get her to smile for the photo but when
she smiles at me her eyes squint and disappear.
I am determined to win her to Christ before I leave Nigeria.
Thursday Morning I preached at this school in Lagos
Once again the students listened to the Word of God and manygave their hearts to Jesus in the invitation.
Sharing some things with the principal after the preaching.

The students that did assemble received me with a wonderful welcome. They laughed at my jokes and
listened to the message very attentively
