George Verwer Graduates!

Along with his trademark world jacket, OM founder George Verwer is still going strong! Despite having stepped down from leadership, he still takes 300 meetings a year where he challenges Christians into action. Never one to hold back, his motivating speeches have literally inspired thousands of people into full-time ministry. George’s decades of championing world mission were recently acknowledged by southern California’s Biola University, which bestowed an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity on him. Even then, he used the occasion to challenge the students there to build the Kingdom of God wherever they can.

Back From The Boat

Step aside Carpe Diem! During our days on board Logos Hope in London, we did more than seize the moment – we throttled a whole week. While Nobby helped out at the visitor’s cafe, Paul was telling visitors about ways to partner in OM’s global work. In the end, we both had many conversations that encouraged non-believers and challenged Christians. There were plenty of media around too, which saw Paul relive his old Doulos role of public relations officer. We also hosted staff from OMF who were keen to experience the vision of the ship’s ministry. And now… we’re taking things a bit easier!
