Tribute to David Mainse ~ by Evangelist Tim Enloe

I learned today of the passing of David Mainse; he was a genuine, ground-breaking Apostle in Canada and beyond--he very well may have led more people to Jesus there than any other person. 

My first personal meeting with Bro Mainse was in 1985 when I was only 14 years old. I was singing with my dad on Mainse's nationwide TV program, "100 Huntley Street" and, before the broadcast, we were escorted into a basement green room of sorts in the downtown Toronto studio. When the door opened, I heard a man's voice weeping and pleading in prayer, "Oh God, save people today through this broadcast; give us souls!" Then, as I entered the room, I saw Mainse sprawled on the floor--face to the carpet, pleading through tearful prayer for the souls of his nation. To say I was deeply affected would be an understatement.

Thank God for faithful, passionate, humble men like David Mainse. He was a true hero indeed.
