George Verwer is the Founder and former International Director of Operation Mobilisation - a ministry of evangelism, discipleship training and church planting. George led Operation Mobilisation for over 40 years before stepping down in 2003. As a young man George had a growing conviction to share the Word of God. He started with distribution of Gospels of John in Mexico with two friends. This continued with others during summer holidays. At Moody Bible Institute he met Drena, who was a fellow student and later became his wife. They went to Spain where in 1961 the work of OM was born. Today OM reaches across the world through the ministry of their ship Logos Hope and over 6,100 people working in over 110 nations to make Christ known in the lives of all they meet. George is now involved in Special Projects Ministries/ OM. He and Drena have three adult children; five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren and make their home in England.
