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.

Within a year, about 200 of his classmates became Christians.

2003

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.
