Who is David Mainse ?David Mainse is the founder of 100 Huntley Street, Crossroads Family of Ministries and the CTS Television Network. David Mainse stepped down as President of Crossroads and host of 100 Huntley Street in the summer of 2003, and is currently very busy behind the scenes as a spiritual statesman for Canada and an ambassador for the Crossroads Ministry. In this new role, he is able to talk personally with many key public figures, praying with them and urging them to uphold the highest levels of morality in Canada. His schedule is presently filled with speaking engagements for evangelism and issues of current social concern at the invitation of churches and various other organizations. David Manise encourages followers of Jesus to "hold the truth in love" while remaining vigilant in the defense of Canada as "we stand on guard for thee." David and his wife Norma-Jean joyfully share the love of Jesus with Crossroads' partners and friends, and God has placed a particular warmth in their hearts for the first nations' people. They plan to visit many native territories across Canada in the coming years.
From coast to coast across Canada and reaching many countries abroad, Crossroads continues "a history of caring for the future" with renewed excitement. It is the strength of the foundation built by one generation that has enabled the next generation to "declare the mighty acts of God." In many ways this is exemplified in the passing of the torch of leadership from Crossroads' founder David Mainse to his son Ron by decision of the board of directors. However, it is the faithfulness of the partners in our Crossroads family that has established this ministry and made it possible to reach countless lives with the love fo Jesus and bring them into the family of God. Like the torches and trumpet of Gideon's men, the sight and sound of the Gospel message beams a powerful light into a dark world through the television images originating from the Crossroads Centre. This message ministers deeply to the needs of families on many levels and has been a great blessing to Canada and the world since 1962. As we move into the future, we joyfully anticipate an ever-increasing fulfillment of the original vision - to reach the lost and hurting with the hope that comes from knowing God personally. We invite you to be part of this amazing adventure by becoming a partner with us in this ministry. "One generation shall praise your works to another... and shall declare your mighty acts." Psalms 145:4 http://www.crossroads.ca/passing_torch.htm
