The TV industry is his good friend and over the years has carried him into millions of living rooms across the country. David Mainse, my former colleague, is celebrating a big anniversary. Today, some insights you won't hear anywhere else about his career in television. A Canadian televangelist celebrating 50 years in broadcasting. He began with a 15-minute program following the late-night news which has become Canada's longest-running daily talk show. His Christian conviction grew the program into a voice that spoke to the nation scooping up a fan base from children to seniors. 24-hour prayer lines, compassion projects touching far afield and close at home. David Mainse took the church's message out of its sanctuary and into our homes. Just what did he learn about Canadians and their appetite for God?
