About Operation Mobilization
SERVING THE NATIONS
The OM ships visit port cities throughout the world, supplying vital
literature resources, encouraging cross-cultural understanding,
training young people for more effective life and service, providing
needed relief and sharing a message of hope in God wherever there
is opportunity. Since 1970, OM's ships have visited over 435 different
ports in 140 nations around the globe. On average, 1 million visitors
are welcomed on board every year!

A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
An international crew and staff, representing 50 nations, lives and
works on board the OM ships. All are volunteers, usually staying for
two years. Some serve in their professional capacity - as deck or
engineering officers, seamen, carpenters, welders and electricians,
or as a doctor, nurse or cook, while others come to participate in
training programme on board.

Each training programme participant combines a full working week in
their assigned department with other training programme elements
such as devotional studies, discipleship, prayer and learning ministry skills.
Teaching is strongly linked with opportunities to translate
theory into first-hand experience. Some participants also work toward
recognised qualifications in engineering or seamanship.

Crewmembers receive cross-cultural exposure through life as an
international community. Port visits offer unique opportunities to see
the needs around the world and join with local believers in sharing
God's love with port residents. A highlight in many ports is the
International Night programme, usually held in a high profile onshore
venue and attended by hundreds or even thousands of local people.
The event focuses on the multinational nature of the ship community
through costume, song, dance and drama and provides a platform to
share the hope in God that brings life, unity and purpose to the ships' crew and staff.

Whether maintaining the engines, cooking for the crew, supplying literature,
speaking to individuals or crowds, sharing about their cultures and faith,
or providing relief to needy people, the ship community learns, and serves, with joy.

FLOATING BOOK SHOPS
In total, over 30 million visitors have come aboard to purchase from
the selection of 4,000 titles available. Titles cover a wide range of subjects,
such as science, sports, hobbies, cookery, the arts, philosophy, medicine
and children's books, as well as faith in God and living life in God's service.
The books have been carefully chosen to be of interest to every member of the family,
and with the educational, social and moral needs of the local community in mind.
Books are on offer at a fraction of their retail value, while in certain ports,
books are also donated. Additionally, every visitor to an OM ship (where possible)
is given the opportunity to take a piece of free literature which explains more
about the need for a right relationship with God.

STAYING AFLOAT
Each ship is owned and operated by a registered charitable trust and is financed
mainly through sponsorship of individuals on board and general giving.
Each individual working with the OM ships volunteers their time and is
sponsored by friends, supporters and their local church.

Books are supplied by respected publishers and shipped by container to restock
the bookshops on board. Local language materials published in the countries
visited supplement stocks of books. Income received from sales in the bookshops
is used to purchase more literature and other supplies,
and to pay freight and customs charges.
Technical projects, relief projects and fuel costs are often financed by
designated gifts from supporters around the world.
