George Verwer is without doubt one of the most amazing men of our time. I (along with thousands of others!) am privileged to know him. His 2009 commencement address to the students of Biola University is vintage Verwer -- 15 minutes of high energy, humor, vital connection, and powerful challenge. Click here for the YouTube coverage. You won't see another graduation speech like it anywhere.
Verwer's personal website is here. Operation Mobilization's website is here. And an 8 minute semi-humorous history of Operation Mobilization can be found here. The photo on the right is Verwer receiving his honorary degree.
