Timeline
George Verwer (July 3, 1938 – April 14, 2023) was an American evangelist and founder of Operation Mobilisation (OM), a Christian missions organization.
Verwer wrote several books on various Christian themes.
He was a passionate advocate of radical discipleship as the only legitimate option for people who believe in Jesus.
His recent work was in India (Barathdasham in Telugu).
Over a million books he authored have been distributed worldwide.
Verwer's first contact with Christianity was through his neighbor, Dorothea Clapp, who gave him the Gospel of John and also put him on her "Holy Ghost hit list".
Verwer attributes to her some of the reasons that he made a commitment to Christ, and for what resulted in his life.
In 1953, as a 14-year-old student from Wyckoff, New Jersey, attending Ramsey High School, Verwer went to a Jack Wyrtzen meeting in which Billy Graham spoke in Madison Square Garden, in New York City.
There he was converted to become a Christian, at the age of 16.
Within a year, about 200 of his classmates became Christians.
Verwer had a growing conviction to evangelize on foreign soil.
He started with the distribution of the Gospel of John in Mexico in 1957 along with two friends, Walter Borchard and Dale Rhoton.
They called this operation "Send the Light".
This continued with others during the summer holidays.
Afterward, Verwer used the name "Send the Light" for a book distribution operation to India based in the United Kingdom.
He was deported, and back in Spain, after a time of prayer in 1961 the work of Operation Mobilization (OM) was born.
George often referred to this calling himself "God's Bungler", in reference to Brother Andrew, "God's Smuggler".
In August 2003, George handed over the international leadership of the work of Operation Mobilisation to Peter Maiden, who was the Associate International Director for 15 years.
George and his wife were involved in Special Projects Ministries full-time, traveling and taking meetings around the world.
Verwer died on April 14, 2023, at the age of 84.
This developed into Send the Light, which was once the largest Christian book distributor in the United Kingdom, but entered into Administration December 2009 and moved into Liquidation December 2010.
After high school, he attended Maryville College and then transferred to Moody Bible Institute, where he met his wife, Drena, a fellow student.
They have three children.
Verwer was awarded an honorary degree, Doctor of Divinity, during commencement at Biola University on May 22, 2009.
After graduation, they went to Spain.
Once while taking Bibles into the USSR, George was arrested and accused of being a spy.
