A movement where Christ is named
Operation Mobilisation
Prayer & missions · Founded 1957 · by George Verwer · Carlisle, England, United Kingdom
Operation Mobilisation, often called OM, is an international Christian missions organization that began in 1957 through the vision of George Verwer and a small band of students distributing Scripture. It mobilizes people to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, plant churches, and serve communities among the least reached. OM works across many nations, including through its ships that carry books, help, and hope to port cities around the world.
What they do
Operation Mobilisation recruits, trains, and sends teams of Christians into gospel work across many countries, focusing on places and peoples who have had little chance to hear about Jesus. Teams evangelize, plant and strengthen churches, distribute Bibles and Christian literature, and disciple new believers so that local congregations can take root and grow.
OM is widely known for its ship ministry, which brings books, humanitarian care, and Christian witness to port cities on several continents. Alongside this, OM engages in mercy ministries such as caring for the vulnerable, responding to human trafficking, and offering practical help that opens doors for the message of Christ.
The Scripture behind the work
Where the door leads
Operation Mobilisation exists to help people meet Jesus Christ and follow Him within a local church. Everything, from literature to mercy work, is meant to point to the Savior who gave His life for the world. A simple next step is to read one of the Gospels, such as Mark, and ask Christ to make Himself known to you.
Connect to the real thing
The Living Bread is a door, not the destination. The life is with Christ and his people.
