(What happens when a lukewarm churchgoer catches fire? Too...)
What happens when a lukewarm churchgoer catches fire? Too often we settle for mediocrity when we really should be on fire for Jesus. In Revelation 3, God promises that He will "spit-out" those "lukewarm" churchgoers, but he rewards those who are "hot"! In this special tape series, George Verwer will ignite or re-ignite your passion for Christ as he recalls the early days of Operation Mobilization. With unbridled fervor, he shares anecdotes and war stories from today's mission field. And he gives a far reaching vision for the next generation of missionaries. In his uninhibited style, George exposes the crisis in the 10/40 widow. He addresses the truth behind the Mary vs. Martha conflict (Martha wasn't all wrong!). And he anchors this weekend missions conference from opening service to missionary banquet like no one you've ever experienced. If you or someone you care about is considering mission work, then these CDs are a must. But, no matter what, if your spiritual temperature has caught a chill, then get ready for a heat wave.

After high school, he attended Maryville College and then transferred to Moody Bible Institute, where he met his wife, Drena, who was a fellow student.
He was awarded an honorary degree, Doctor of Divinity, during commencement at Biola University on May 22, 2009.
Verwer has written several books on various Christian themes. Verwer attributes to her some of the reason that he made a commitment to Christ, and for what resulted in his life. When he was a pupil at Ramsey High School in Ramsey, New Jersey, he went to a Jack Wyrtzen meeting in which Billy Graham spoke in Madison Square Garden, in New York City.
There he was converted to become a Christian, at the age of 16.
He had a growing conviction to evangelize on foreign soil. They called this operation "Send the Light".
This continued with others during summer holidays. Afterward, Verwer used the name "Send the Light" for a book distribution operation to India based in the United Kingdom.
This has since developed into Send the Light, the largest Christian book distributor in the United Kingdom.
After graduation, they went to Spain. Once while taking Bibles into the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics, George was arrested and accused of being a spy. He was deported, and back in Spain, after a time of prayer in 1961 the work of (Member of the Order of Merit) was born.
George often refers to this calling himself "God"s Bungler", in reference to Brother Andrew, "God"s Smuggler".
They still travel and take meetings around the world. Drena and George had three children.
