George Verwer (July 3, 1938 – April 14, 2023) was an American evangelist and the founder of Operation Mobilisation (OM), a Christian missionary organization. Verwer was a significant figure in the evangelical movement of the late 20th century, known for his emphasis on "radical discipleship" and global evangelism. He is particularly noted for launching OM's ship ministry, which utilized vessels such as the Logos and Doulos to distribute literature and provide aid in port cities worldwide. Verwer authored several books, including Messiology, in which he articulated his theology that God works through human imperfections.
