From the start, after his commitment to Christ at the age of sixteen, George Verwer had a passion to take the gospel across borders to some of the least evangelized countries. Operation Mobilisation was set up to do just that: to mobilize Christian mission training, action and service around the world. Global Passion not only celebrates forty years of Georges unique influence and leadership in modern missions. it charts the way forward for todays missionary church. Georges pioneering impact on short-term missions, literature ministries, mission ships and the global mobilization of the Church is reflected in every page. Contributors include Stuart Briscoe, Tony Campolo, Lenna Lidstone, Viv Thomas, Ajith Fernando, Joseph DSouza, Patrick Johnstone, and Tony Sargent. Georges ability to enthuse the unenthusiastic. mobilize the immobile, motivate the motivated, comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable is without parallel and we thank God for him. ?Stuart Briscoe A strong man who has chartered a path that strong young men and women over the last several decades have willingly followed even as he followed Christ.
