Explo '72 "80,000 young people from across the U.S. and from 75 foreign lands, shouting, singing, praying and praising His name in a mammoth burst of Christian zeal. "A religious Woodstock," said Billy Graham of Explo '72. The gathering was sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ International, an evangelical, theologically conservative group with an ambitious goal: to take the message of Jesus to every individual in America by 1976, and the whole world by 1980. In addition to attending evangelistic training sessions in 65 Dallas-area locations, the young people listened to hours of rock religious music and heard encouragement from Graham, Dallas Cowboy quarterback Roger Staubach and Florida Governor Reubin Askew. At the end of the final night service held in the Cotton Bowl, 70,000 candles were lit in a brief ceremony" - from Explo '72 http://www.one-way.org/jesusmovement/explo/explo2.htm

Toronto Catacombs - In 1968 Gord Morris and Don Rossiter desired to begin a Christian club on the campus of their Toronto high school. After approaching their music teacher Merv Watson who was also a Christian, they formed the Catacomb Club. By 1971 they had grown into a group of 850 and began meeting in St. Paul's Anglican Church where they held a Thursday night 'Praise and Worship Celebration' that at its peak attracted 2,500 enthusiastic teenagers. The core group eventually spawned a church that lasted into the late 1980s. - from Leaders- http://www.one-way.org/jesusmovement/leaders/leadrs1.htm
- During the late 60’s and early 70’s, Merv and Merla Watson led the Toronto Catacombs, drawing from 2-3000 young folk per week, among whom was Benny Hinn who came to the Lord. It was developed out of Merv’s high school class. It met in St. Paul’s Cathedral and resulted in hundreds of young folk committing their lives to the Lord, well over 2000 baptized in the makeshift basement tank, and many going into fulltime Christian service in many parts of the world. Following this, they directed "Shekinah,” an international group of Christian musicians, singers, and dancers in presentations in Canada, Holland, the United States, Switzerland, England, and Israel. source http://www.mervandmerla.com/home.cfm
