GEORGE VERWER

1938-2023

OM’s founder, George Verwer, has passed away at the age of 84. We give thanks for his radical life devoted to sharing God’s love worldwide.

Born in New jersey, USA, in 1938. Aged 14, George received a copy of the Gospel of John from Dorothea Clapp. She prayed for George and other students from his school for 18 years, that they would become passionate Jesus-followers and take His message to the ends of the earth.

Founding OM in 1957, when he and two friends sold some of their possessions and heading to Mexico, with tens of thousands of pieces of tracts. This trip inspired him to share God’s word with those who had never heard it.

George is survived by his wife, Drena, along with their three children.

"Literal adherence to the principles laid down by Jesus Christ would, without a doubt, result in world-wide revolution. A revolution motivated by love; a revolution executed by love; and a revolution culminating in love."

GEORGE VERWER, 1961
