Introducing Operation Mobilisation, over 3,000 people from 80 nations are serving with Operation Mobilisation to bring a message of hope to the peoples of the world. We have one thing in common - we love Jesus and we want others to have the opportunity to hear about Him.
What
does OM do?
Working in more than 83 countries around the world and on board two ocean-going
ships, Operation Mobilisation seeks to demonstrate and proclaim the love of
God. In every situation OM teams adapt to the local culture and situation,
finding the best ways to share Jesus. Through literature, the creative arts,
friendship, Bible studies, videos and cassette tapes, correspondence courses,
relief and development work, and much, much more … by all means possible we
will tell people how our lives have been changed… and how they can meet Jesus.
Wherever possible, Operation Mobilisation works in partnership with the local
church, encouraging and supporting local believers. Where there is no church… we
seek to plant churches.

Operation
Mobilisation traces its roots to the prayers of an American housewife.
In the 1950s, Dorothea Clapp began to pray faithfully for the students
in her local High School. She asked God to touch the world through the
lives of those young people. And God answered her prayers!
Mrs Clapp gave a Gospel of John to one of the students, who later gave his
life to the Lord at a Billy Graham meeting. That young man was George Verwer,
the founder and international director of Operation Mobilisation.
At college, George and two friends met regularly to pray. They became burdened
by the spiritual needs of Mexico. In 1957 the three friends sold some of their
own possessions to raise money and gave up their summer holiday to distribute
Gospels and other Christian literature in Mexico. The friends returned the
following summer and the next… When they graduated in 1960, George and his
friends traveled to Europe. They began work in Spain, sharing the Gospel and
distributing literature. But the task of reaching the whole of Europe seemed
overwhelming.
George and his small team realised that God's plan was to mobilise His church
to reach the nations. As they began to share their vision, hundreds of Christians
responded. So Operation Mobilisation was born.
By 1963, 2,000 Christians had joined summer outreach teams in Europe. At the
same time, the first year teams moved into the Indian sub-continent and the
Muslim world. Their commitment was to reach those who had never heard the Gospel.
Such simple beginnings have shaped OM ever since. Today over 3000 OMers are
working in 83 countries bringing God's unchanging truth to literally millions
every year.

least known.

Esteeming the church
| We believe that the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments in their original texts, are fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, without error, and are the final authority for the Church | |
| We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believ e in the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ. | |
| We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, the authenticity of His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection and His present mediatorial work in heaven. | |
| We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit. We believe He gives life, He sanctifies, He empowers and comforts all believers. | |
| We believe that man was originally created sinless. Tempted by Satan, man fell and thereby brought the whole race under the condemnation of eternal separation from God. | |
| We believe that man is saved through repentance and faith in the finished work of Christ. Justification is through grace alone. | |
| We believe that the Church is the body of Jesus Christ composed of all true believers. The present work of the Church is the worship of God, the perfecting of the saints and the evangelisation of the world. | |
| We believe in the personal and bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ to consummate our salvation and establish His glorious Kingdom. |
