Mainse is currently travelling across the country on a Crossroads Christian Communications, Inc. (parent organization of 100 Hunt- ley Street) national tour, Impact Canada 100. One hundred cities will be visited during the tour, which began in January in the lower mainland. Terrace is number 85 on the tour, with Calgary being city 100. "We're like the national census (used to be), we come around once every 10 years,’ Mainse remarked. The purpose of the tour. is to draw together pastors and other clergy, the media, and the gencral public to explain how the church is part of the essential solution to the nation’s problems, He has also met privately with some of Canada’s key political leaders, including Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, NDP leader Audrey McLaughlin, opposition leader Jean Creticn, and a number of provincial premiers. The idea for the tour came out of Mainse’s conviction that he had to do something to try and help his country. He cites as an example last year’s confrontation between native peoples and the armed forces in eastern Canada, which resulted from a small membership golf course wanting to add another nine holes on a tract of land that was a native burial ground. "When 1 saw that happening | wept. It illustrated a level of self- ishness that {s intolerable, It was Canadian against Canadian; other than the Louis Riel rebellion a hundred years ago, and there really wasn't very much to that, there has never been anything major like this in Canada before. Years ago just about everybody went to worship, now there’s a minimum. When you worship you have a centre outside of yourself," Mainse told his audience. . One of the questions Mainse likes to ask at public gatherings is how many people have memories of the hungry 30's when there were no government programs to assist the needy. He asks if anyone knew of someone who was thor- oughly malnourished or died from mainourishment during that time. "Not one Canadian hand has ever been raised. So how come we now have all kinds of government assis- tance amd yet millions of people are homeless and hungry? We all need to open our homes. If evcry- one in Canada opened their home to just one homeless person... there wouldn’t be enough homeless to go around, Just writing a cheque r looks at "The most powerful things in life are the most simple, like love thy neighbour, but doing it takes the power of God. It’s something like being an alcoholic, it’s not 4 simple thing to simply stop drink- ing. You have to reach out to God. It’s the love of God that enables us to get outside of ourselves." Mainse remarks that he does see much more hope in Canada now. "Last January, ona scale of one fo 10, I’d have said were at a minus 10. Now we're up to a plus one or two. I've sensed a shift as we've gone across Canada." But he adds that there is still a lot of cynicism in the country. Spain with the Pavilion of Promise that will be part of that country’s Expo '92 (the Pavilion of Promise was part of World Expo °86 in Canada, and again in Australia in "88), he picked up an intemational newspaper that gave the standard of living index of each individual country. It stated that the US. experienced a slight decline in 1990, whereas Canada experienced a slight increase in the standard of living. Now curious, he picked up a copy of Newsweek (Canadian edition) upon returning to Canada, which flatly stated that Canadians had indeed fallen on hard times. "A lot of this doom and gloom prophesy is motivated by political opposition. If you don’t show your _ opponent in a bad light you won't be able to defeat the opposition. "But I think the message may be getting through that there are worse places, that we have many blessings. The general mood I’m feeling on opén-line radio shows, the tone of the callers as well as the radio hosts, is that there is an optimism." Originally David Mainse was a pastor in Deep River, a small — community in Ontario. When the community finally got a television | station in 1962 he was asked to do a 15-minute program that eventual- ly grew into a broad, evangelistic outreach ministry. Four telecasts are broadcast daily in English, 13 in other languages, and one in sign language with audio in English, and among other things sponsors children’s pro- grams such as Circle Square, Inside Track and Circle Square Ranches. "There are three kinds of Christians — hot, cold, and luke. isn’t the answer. We’re the hot kind,” Mainse says.
