Podcast appearances and mentions of George Verwer

George Verwer’s life changed dramatically when he became a follower of Christ during a Billy Graham crusade in 1957. Soon after his conversion, he began Operation Mobilization (OM), and in 1963 the mission sent 2,000 missionaries to Europe. OM went on to become one of the largest mission organizations of the twentieth century, sending out thousands each year. At the time of George’s death in 2023, the mission had more than three thousand workers from 134 countries working in 147 countries, and nearly 300 other mission agencies had been established as a result of contact with OM. Like the apostle Paul, George had a passion to bring people to saving faith in Christ. After Paul’s dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, he became a zealous missionary for the Lord, fervently following Jesus’ command to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). In his missionary journeys, he also trained Timothy and others to go out and do the same. Because of Paul’s Spirit-inspired writings, people throughout the centuries have been emboldened to share the gospel. He knew the vital importance of Jesus’ Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). That’s why, in Romans 12, he reminds us: “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord” (v. 11). When we have the Holy Spirit living inside us, He makes us zealous to tell others about Jesus.

Andrew Ginsberg has been the president of Operation Mobilization USA for the last six months, stepping into the role and following in the footsteps of George Verwer, founder of OM (and past ). Coming from a Jewish upbringing, Andrew tells the story of the nine-year path that led him to following Jesus—and then his eventual route into full-time ministry. Andrew shares three things the Lord taught him in the 18 months before he took over the presidency of OM-USA, preparing him to lead OM through this season. He also talks about the weight of leadership when sending gospel workers to places where their lives are at risk due to Christian persecution. Andrew is reminded that it's his job to inform, not to stop people from being a witness for Christ. “It's very easy to give up control, hold my hands up, and let the Lord do the work,” Andrew says, “The gospel moves in our presence but not because of our presence.” Andrew will also share the story of one witness in Sudan, and how OM-USA is using social media to reach individuals willing to be disciple-makers. His greatest joy is to see others called to go and spread the gospel to the unreached parts of the world. Pray that the Lord would call more laborers into the harvest and that the gospel wildfire would continue to spread in closed nations.

In this special episode of the Lausanne Movement podcast, we're privileged to present a previously unpublished interview with George Verwer, the inspirational founder of Operation Mobilization, and Justin Schell, Director of Executive Projects at the Lausanne Movement.  This conversation is a tribute to George Verwer's life and enduring legacy.  Starting from his early days, George shares of being touched by the Gospel and making a significant commitment at a Billy Graham rally, to pioneering literature evangelism at the birth of the Lausanne movement, Verwer reflects on the key moments that shaped his ministry.  George discusses the trials of leadership, emphasising the significance of prayer, humility, managing failure, and the constant need for grace and forgiveness in leadership roles. Additionally, George delves into his approach to cultural sensitivity, the impact of his ministry style on his family, and the importance of a prayerful foundation.  He offers invaluable advice to emerging and established leaders in ministry, highlighting the need for personal transformation and understanding the nuances of leadership in global missions.  We trust that this interview would not just act as reflection on his contributions to missions but become an invitation for you to continue his legacy and join in the mission to accelerate global mission together.

When he was 14 years old, a woman named Dorothea Clapp gave him a copy of the Gospel of John. Mrs Clapp prayed for 18 years for the students at George's school to become passionate Jesus-followers and take His message to the ends of the earth. Three years later, George attended a Billy Graham meeting in New York City, where he made a personal commitment to Christ. His entire life was changed.   Inspired by Jesus' commission to make disciples, George began sharing his faith with fellow students. Within a year, two hundred had chosen to follow Christ. At college in Tennessee, George became burdened for those without access to the Bible, and in 1957, he and two friends sold some of their possessions to fund a road trip to Mexico; taking 20,000 Spanish-language tracts and 10,000 Gospel booklets. The trip led to many more and fanned the flame of George's conviction to share God's Word with those who'd never heard it. Moving to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois, George was confident of God's call on his life. He blazed a trail for world mission, motivating others in nights of prayer and planning further literature distribution ventures. It was at Moody that George met Drena Knecht, who would become his wife. In 1960, George and Drena were married. They prioritised their service of the Lord and sold some of their wedding gifts to fund a six-month outreach to Mexico City before moving to Spain, where they established what would become OM's work there. While in Europe, George smuggled Bibles into Communist-controlled countries, but after being arrested and deported, he took time to reflect. During a time of private prayer in Vienna, Austria, George climbed a tree and saw a group of young people boarding a bus. In that moment, the name Operation Mobilisation sprang to his mind, with the idea of mobilising ‘busloads' of young people into mission. Under George's exuberant leadership and fuelled 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: first, across Europe and into the Middle East, then with volunteers crewing ocean-going ships. Logos, the first of five vessels, was launched in 1971, and since then more than 49 million people have visited the onboard book fairs, with over 70 million portions of Scripture distributed during port calls in 151 countries. After a time living and establishing ministry in India, George and Drena, along with their three children, settled in London, England; where George continued to emphasise radical discipleship within OM and focused on ministry sustainability. George led OM until 2003, then concentrated on special projects, travelling and speaking on global mission at thousands of gatherings worldwide. His authentic lifestyle and zeal for the spread of the gospel has motivated countless individuals and churches into more intentional mission involvement.   Rarely seen without his world map jacket or inflatable globe, George always prayed for the nations and current issues. He was energised by encouraging others and keeping in contact with thousands of friends and ministry partners through letters, emails and phone calls. George wrote several books, including Revolution of Love, Out of the Comfort Zone, Messiology and Confessions of a Toxic Perfectionist.

International Christian Concern reports that an evangelist, Lù A Da, was arrested on December 7 in Bangkok. He is incarcerated at a local police station. In addition, 11 Montagnard Christians, who were arrested in November, were kept in prison over Christmas — at an Immigration Detention Centre.  Japanese earthquake An earthquake registering 7.6 on the Richter scale hit the west coast of Japan's big island of Honshu on New Year's Day, reports CBS News. After homes collapsed and officials issued tsunami warnings, coastal residents headed for higher ground. Six people were killed That's the most powerful earthquake that has hit Japan since 2015.  Japan is usually in the top six nations experiencing the most earthquakes each year.  Indonesia and Mexico are usually #1 and #2 on the list.  Why Ohio GOP Governor vetoed anti-transgender bill Conservatives in America are grappling with why Ohio's Republican Governor Mike DeWine vetoed a bill that would have disallowed puberty blockers for children, and banning boys, pretending to be girls, from playing on girls sports teams in public schools. According to the Federalist Papers, it turns out Governor DeWine received $40,300 from the Ohio Children's Hospital Association, Cincinnati Children's, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and ProMedica Children's Hospital for his election campaign. The president of Ohio Children's Hospital Association, Nick Lashutka, had testified against the Republican bill in the House, the bill which the Governor subsequently vetoed.

The NASDAQ stock index has hit an all-time high, closing Friday at 16,826. That's up from 1,204 in 2009, a 14-fold increase.   The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed for the year 2023 at 37,690,  up from 7,060 in 2009. That's a 5-fold increase. Meanwhile, almost every other stock market in the world hasn't come close to these valuations.   WolfStreet.com reports that the Chinese Shanghai composite is still where it was in 2009. Japan's Nikkei is leveled off where the index stood in 1989. The UK FTSE Index is up about 50% since 2009. Spain's IBEX index is still where it was sitting in 2009. Canada's Index is up about 40% from 2008. Economist predicts 2024 “biggest single crash year in our lifetimes” Is the American industry really doing 20 to 100 times better than England, China, and Japan?  U.S. economist Harry Dent  told Fox Business: “Since 2009, this has been a 100% artificial [economy], with unprecedented money printing and deficits; $27 trillion over 15 years, to be exact. … We're in a dangerous state. 2024 is going to be the biggest single crash year we'll see in our lifetimes." The economist forecasts an 86% crash in the S&P, a 92% crash in the NASDAQ, 96% for crypto, and significant deflation on housing prices. But Jesus said, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” (Luke 12:15)  Our Savior also said, “Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21) Taylor Swift: Time's Person of the Year A pop music star turned out to be Time Magazine's Person of the Year for 2023. Taylor Swift is the latest goddess of pop culture. Her 131-date “Eras” world tour is on track to be the highest-grossing concert tour of all time — estimated to top $1.4 billion. Taylor Swift is known for her pro-homosexual songs such as “Welcome to New York” and “You Need to Calm Down,” as well as nihilistic themes found in “Anti-hero” and “I Don't Wanna Live Forever.”  Notable Christian leaders who died in 2023 And finally, let's remember a number of notable Christian leaders who died in 2023. They include Pastor Jack Hayford, George Verwer, Pastor Charles Stanley, Pastor Tim Keller, Christian Broadcaster Pat Robertson, and Sarah Young, author of Jesus Calling. In the words of Ecclesiastes, “Man also does not know his time. … Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.” (Ecclesiastes 9:12, 12:13-14) Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Tuesday, January 2nd in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

 Top headlines for Thursday, June 29, 2023In this episode we delve into the mysterious fire that destroyed a Roman Catholic church in Orlando, coinciding with the one-year anniversary of the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson SCOTUS decision. With the cause still unknown, we discuss the growing speculation about the fire being an intentional act. We then shift our focus to the controversy surrounding conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey's provocative tweet, which questions the compatibility of Christian faith with supporting the Democratic party. The tweet has sparked a slew of reactions from prominent Christian activists. Lastly, we probe into the disturbing incident in Israel, where a man, suspected to be drunk, vandalized a site believed to be the location of the Last Supper, a disturbing act seen as persecution against Christians. Subscribe to this Podcast Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Overcast Follow Us on Social Media @ChristianPost on Twitter Christian Post on Facebook @ChristianPostIntl on Instagram Subscribe on YouTube Get the Edifi App Download for iPhone Download for Android Subscribe to Our Newsletter Subscribe to the Freedom Post, delivered every Monday and Thursday Click here to get the top headlines delivered to your inbox every morning!

El fallecimiento de dos líderes religiosos de los evangelicals norteamericanos, nos recordó que el liderazgo religioso, por muy bueno que sea, no es eterno. George Verwer, fundador de Operación Movilización una agencia de Cristiana de asistencia humanitaria y alfabetización falleció a los 85 años, tras un retiro de veinte años. El martes pasado falleció a los 90 años el reconocido predicador de la radio y televisión norteamericana Charles Stanley, quien se mantuvo en su cargo hasta su fallecimiento. Verwer y Stanley muestran dos diferentes actitudes hacia la caducidad del ministerio. Por un lado, un entendimiento de que el cuerpo ya no da para un liderazgo efectivo y, por otro lado, mantenerse en la brecha, con deficiencias y mucha dificultad, hasta el final. Aunque las dos son viables y dependientes de cada individuo, es frecuente que con la edad llegue la senilidad y la pérdida de conciencia clara con consecuencias nefastas. Aunque nos cueste admitirlo, pudiera ser que nuestros líderes religiosos (o políticos) favoritos deberían también tener una fecha, si no de caducidad, por lo menos de retiro.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steve Coplon of MissionfieldUSA.com shares how the gospel revolutionized his life. We'll discuss too, current gospel city excursions taking place in the Northeast and deep South, along with George Verwer's life-long drive to engage the world with the Gospel. It all began when college student George Verwer and his two friends journeyed to Mexico to share Christ's love in 1957, the response was overwhelming. These young men subsequently opened a Christian bookshop and launched Christian radio broadcasts there. As the friends expanded their reach to Europe, they proclaimed the great truth that God uses His people to reach the nations. Christians rose in response, and OM (Operation Mobilization) was born.

Lawrence Tong wakes up each morning excited to pursue this goal: vibrant communities of Jesus followers among the least reached. As the International Director for Operation Mobilization, he oversees the ministry of 5000 gospel workers—including many serving in places where Christians face intense persecution. Lawrence's first taste of missions—and of the work of OM—came aboard a ship, docking at different ports to share the gospel and train up local Christians. Witnessing a spiritual fire among the young people on the boat, Lawrence committed two years to serving with OM. That commitment has now grown into more than 40 years of gospel work amongst the least reached! Listen as Lawrence shares about his six years of ministry work in China, and an update on the current challenges faced by persecuted Christians there. God is still calling people to go to dangerous places to share about Jesus. If you feel called to global gospel work, Lawrence will offer advice about how to think about, pray about and prepare for that calling. He'll also equip listeners to pray for the persecuted church in Afghanistan, Nepal, and China to stay firm in faith, and help us pray for the work of OM around the world. To hear more about the history and work of Operation Mobilization, listen to previous VOM Radio conversations with founders George Verwer and Dale Rhoton, and also with OM-USA President Andrew Scott.

It is our prayer that today's word would encourage and challenge to walk out your faith in Jesus, shine brightly in darkness and experience Kingdom impact in all you do! Stay connected with Belmont Church on our Facebook page, website or on the Church Center App.

We are thrilled to present a series of conversations between our dear brothers in Christ, Francis Chan and Metropolitan Yohan (aka KP Yohannan). These conversations were initiated by criticism that Francis Chan received as a result of publicly discussing the history of the church and the Eucharist and inspired by our desire to promote dialogue on divisive issues within the body of Christ in a spirit of brotherly love to honor the high priestly prayer of our Heavenly Father just before His passion on the cross “that they may all be one…so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” (John 17:21) On behalf of Francis Chan and Metropolitan Yohan, we hope that these conversations will inspire you to inspect Church history, encourage you to engage in dialogue with those that you may disagree with and live the answer to our Lord's High Priestly prayer that we may all be one. “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:35) The Key to Christian Unity is Humility…. is the second episode in this four part series of round table conversations and addresses the prayer for unity made by the Lord in His High Priestly Prayer “that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” Many have said that the first step towards unity is humility—so how do we humble ourselves and pursue unity over the essentials of the historic Christian faith despite our differences? Topics discussed include: Francis Chan addresses the issue of tribalism between Christian Churches and how to reconcile that with the Lord's High Priestly Prayer that we might be one (0:25); can we unite over the essentials of the historic Christian faith by appealing to the maxim “in essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty and in all things charity?” (6:45); what we can learn from the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican as we engage with believers in Christ from different Christian traditions (12:30); a lesson of inclusivity that Metropolitan Yohan learned from George Verwer after writing Revolution in World Missions (14:10); the greatest doctrine is love (18:15); the criticality of working towards unity in the body of Christ in response to the Lord's High Priestly Prayer “that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me” (20:45); responding to Francis Chan moving to Hong Kong (24:35); Francis Chan discusses his love for evangelizing to those who have never heard the name of Christ while also feeling convicted about inviting people into the family of God while there is disunity in the body of Christ (28:15); the answer to the Lord's High Priestly Prayer starts with humility (33:50).

George Verwer shares his burden for revival and spiritual awakening in modern day evangelism. There is such a need to realize we are deceived even the best of us. We need to seek reality and surrender fully in radical discipleship to the Lord Jesus Christ.
