Awakening God's people to His purposes for the world
Today there are more than 3 billion people who have never heard Jesus’ message of hope. That number grows by 60,000 each day. To change that trajectory, we must accelerate our mission to see vibrant communities of Jesus followers within reach of everyone. We believe God has given OM a “Holy Ambition”.
Holy ambition
We want to see vibrant communities of Jesus followers in reach of everyone. In order to reverse the trajectory of the least reached, we want to be a catalyst to see 25,000 new vibrant communities of Jesus followers being launched every year, by 2030.

Go Boldly
Your Work, Your Mission
We are calling believers in this generation to step into their God-given purpose to be His witnesses through their gifts and vocations among the least-reached in every sector of society.

We live in an exceptionally exciting time — an era where technology has made it possible for every living person to have access to the written or spoken word. Help us share Christ’s love by using the right channels to touch the right hearts at the right time.
Transform Totally
Living the Gospel
You can share the love of Jesus to transform the lives of those living in both physical and spiritual poverty. Help us share a holistic gospel with the people we serve.
History
Operation Mobilization 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 copy of the Gospel of John to George Verwer, who later gave his life to the Lord at a Billy Graham meeting. Several years later George founded of Operation Mobilization.
OM now has 5,000+ workers, representing more than 130 nationalities, serving in the OM family of ministries, bringing God’s unchanging truth to literally millions every year.
