- Dorothea Biemann from Barrie: Thank you David Mainse for your faithful dedication to Canadians everywhere. Thanks to you and your wonderful prayer lines I found a fantastic church and gave my heart to the Lord at age 19. I have followed the Lord ever since and your T.V. program has been a beacon in the darkness for me. I cannot think of a more valuable cause to be a monthly contributor to and I pray that your legacy continues to shine the light of Jesus to every corner of Canada. Strength, Peace and comfort to Norma-Jean and all your family.
- Rev. Robert and Ellen Smith from Black Diamond, Alberta: We have had the privilege of watching the development of Crossroads and 100 Huntley Street from it's earliest days. Our children used to listen to the Circle Square program and all of the songs on Saturdays. David has been an example and inspiration to us and to our nation over many years. There has never been to our knowledge any hint of anything in his life or ministry that would bring reproach on the name of Jesus or the Christian world. As many have mentioned David was the same away from the camera as he was on the program. When we were Pastors in Pangman. Sk. in the early 70s David came through our area to minister and we had him visit us in our home on a couple of occasions. Later, in the early 80s when we were Pastoring in Calgary, David came to our church to get to know Don Wederfort, a helicopter pilot. Don then spent the next couple of years flying in Ethiopia assisting in the famine relief there as Crossroads reached out to starving people. In 1994 we were in Israel and had the privilege of joining with David's tour group for a service together at the Garden Tomb which was a real highlight. Our youngest son was Director at Circle Square Ranch at Halkirk. Ab. for a few years and we again had opportunity on occasion to cross paths with David. Although David is greatly missed, not only by family but also by people all across our country and the world. He leaves behind such a wonderful legacy. In many ways we are poorer but heaven (if it were possible) is now richer. Our love, prayers and sympathy to all of David's family as well as all of the Crossroads family.
- Jim & Sharon Brammer from Prince George, BC: We have been watching 100 Huntley for years and have been supporters of this ministry. We thank God for this program that brings hope and love across our nation. We will miss you David, but glad you are not suffering anymore. You have run the race and stayed the course and God will say, well done my faithful servant! We thank God for you & Norma-Jean who shared your lives with us and cared so much for our nation. Your legacy will continue on for the generations to come. Norma-Jean we will keep you and your family in our prayers for the days ahead. Keep staying strong for the Lord!

- Scott Goobie from Devon AB: It would have been during Pastor Mainse's time at Bethel Gospel Tabernacle in Hamilton (ON), that a relationship developed with my Dad. As a result, my Dad was often invited as a guest soloist in the mid 1970's and 1980's to 100 Huntley Street. I remember as a young boy and into my teens hanging around with my siblings at 100 Huntley Street. It was an experience I will never forget. Pastor Mainse was so full of life, passion and it was evident he loved the Lord and proclaiming the Gospel message. During those visits, I have no doubt he made an impact on me as a young boy. Growing up, my parents and Grandparents (Goobie) often watched 100 Huntley Street. They would have the t.v. on and turned up the volume when someone was singing. Even though I pretended not to be interested nor cared (at that time in my life), I listened to Pastor Mainse and his guests. Now, I can say there was a seed planted within me as a result of his ministry. In the summer of 1990, my youth group at Bethel Gospel Tabernacle attended Circle Square Ranch. It was there that I had a powerful encounter with Jesus. Gave my heart to the Lord, surrendered to Him and shortly after, decided to go into full-time ministry. God has used men like Pastor Mainse to impact my life even when I did not realize nor recognize it. I am grateful to the Lord for David Mainse, his life; vision; passion; his ministry and the impact he has had on Ontario; Canada, and the world. There is 100 % no doubt that he has been the greatest evangelist and pioneer in Christian television in Canadian history. I am grateful that Pastor Mainse obeyed the Lord's call on his life. Although he has gone home to be with the Lord, his legacy and impact will be felt for generations to come. My sincere condolences to Norma Jean, the family, friends, staff, etc. My prayers are with you and may the Lord comfort each one of you during this time of sorrow.
- Vesna Fajkovic from Vancouver: I was very grateful to meet David in person while employed at Expo 86. My sincerest condolences to his family. Vesna Fajkovic
- Irene from Campbell River: I've been so blessed by the ministry of 100 Huntley St. So many prayers answered and always encouraged. David was always a giant of a man of faith and love for all people, Thank you Lord we will all be together again one day soon.
- Shane from Toronto: Sincere sympathy to the family. David did a great work for the gospel in Canada. We trust that is he celebrating today in the Kingdom of Heaven.
- Lidia Vieira from Burlington, Ontario: I missed signing the book when I was at the service, so will share here as I have on social media. I remember 1978 turning on the television and having a profound awakening, excitement that my faith really was alive. I listened to the testimonies on 100 Huntley Street and knew joy. By1979 I joined the team and grew up in my newly ignited faith as I summarized the programs, part of my job in the control room. David was our workplace shepherd and patriarch. I say David, but really, it was both him and Norma-Jean. It was a diverse, welcoming place where flaws and all -- and we had some -- there was the humility of our TV family father teaching us by his life and vision. I crossed Canada on that very special tour with 100 Huntley Street. I witnessed so much hope among Canadians and back home, the valuable volunteers, sincere, praying and praying for souls. There were so many wonderful memories of the Christian family, lighting the streets and nation with the Gospel. I thought that time with David would become a distant shadow as I left to teach public school. Then three years ago I bumped into David and Norma-Jean at the Sea of Galilee. It had been almost two decades. The memories rushed in. David really was more than a boss and a friend. He was a presence that stayed, and still stays , the Holy Spirit bringing us all together. Thank you, David, for your obedience and persistence to do God's will, no matter what.
