Last week, when Billy sailed home to rest up for his next crusade (in Berlin, starting Oct. 16), he left be hind him an army of 22,000 Christian laymen who had helped with the cru sade and are now ready to continue their work for evangelism in local churches. Still another permanent result of the crusade was the formation in London of 6,000 new Bible-study groups, which Billy calls "bridges be tween the church...
