Campus Crusade had an event in Dallas Texas called Dallas "Explo 72"
Some Milwaukee friends attended this and came back to Milwaukee all excited with new life in the Lord. We then put on a similar event in Milwaukee: EXPLO Comes to Milwaukee. I did not attend the Dallas event, but they asked me to be the General Director of the event.
Why:
Dallas Explo was only meant as a beginning of a world wide spiritual explosion for Jesus Christ. Many states had followup conferences planned so that those who had gone to Explo could bring five more people for training, but no conference was planned for the Milwaukee area because there were no Campus Crusade for Christ staff assigned here. On July 12th, after a month in prayer about this need, four laymen found they shared the assurance that it was God's will for an Explo-conference to take place in Milwaukee. Since that time, the provision of initial needs has been taken as a confirmation that the decision to go ahead was in God's will.
Purpose:
Only to provide a follow-up to EXPLO 72.
No permanent organization is planned. Follow-up for those who receive Christ to be handled through local churches. The conference is not meant to compete with any church's program, but to provide and experience for youth that will encourage them to take an active role where God has placed them.
Prayer;
This conference was begun in prayer and must be brought to completion by a complete dependence on God's leading and provision as each specific need is brought to Him. Everyone who went to EXPLO is challenged to pray that God would reach five people through him to attend Milwaukee EXPLO.
