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
- Wikipedia: "Explo '72 was an evangelistic conference sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ, planned and directed by Paul Eshleman. Explo '72 has been called the most visible event of the 1970s Jesus movement,[1] and came to be associated with the same, even though its primary attendees were not directly involved in that movement."

- Remembering Explo ’72 Chaplain Mike comments "What a blast from the past to think about those days again! You know those baby boomers who’ve been leading churches for the past generation? This is the era in which they got their start. This was probably also the main event that kick-started “contemporary Christian music” (then called, “Jesus music”) into the limelight."
- Time Magazine "Religion: The Jesus Woodstock" Monday, Jun. 26, 1972 ""Something historic is happening here," flashed a sign on an office building in downtown Dallas. Historic, maybe. Big for sure. Across—and well beyond—the city last week, more than 75,000 gospel-preaching young people and adults were jammed into hotels, motels and private homes, camping out in warehouses, truck terminals, school gyms and even the county jail. They had come from every state and 60 countries for an International Student Congress on Evangelism called EXPLO '72...read more"

- 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 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
