OM International Founder, Evangelist George Verwer Dies at 84

Author and evangelist George Verwer, the founder of the Christian missions organization, OM International, passed away last week at the age of 84. Verwer founded Operation Mobilisation, which later became OM International while living in Europe. He led the ministry until 2003, when he stepped down to focus on additional projects. “Under George’s exuberant leadership and fueled by the passion of believers from many nations to reach those who had never heard the Good News, OM expanded in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s,” OM International’s official biography explained. Verwer also wrote multiple books, including Confessions of a Toxic Perfectionist, Messiology, Out of the Comfort Zone and Revolution of Love.
