Since then, over the course of more than 100 years, Australian supporters through The Leprosy Mission Australia have been dedicated to defeating leprosy and transforming lives across the world.

Operation Mobilisation

"When college student George Verwer and his two friends journeyed to Mexico to share Christ’s love in 1957, the response was overwhelming. The young men subsequently opened a Christian bookshop and launched Christian radio broadcasts there. As the friends expanded their reach to Europe, they proclaimed the great truth that God uses His people to reach the nations. Christians rose in response, and OM was born.."

We are a global community of Jesus followers, united to bring God’s love to those who don’t know it.
