Dear friends and colleagues who seek to bless others. In 2022 this announcement was published that one of my recent books became available to order from various sources. This volume was published for a worldwide audience and is apparently in 10,000 bookstores. The publisher has linked me with a film company in Texas to make a documentary film. Title: "NGO Strategies by Christians to Change the World: Making a Difference One Village, One Family, One Person at a Time" (WestBow Press: HarperCollins/Thomas Nelson/Zondervan Christian Publishing). Bloomington, IN, 2023, 244 pp.
Inside its cover are supportive testimonials from various leaders as this volume discusses how people globally have been or may yet offer voluntary labor with some of the other NGOs I’ve established, including those in conjunction with religions such as Catholic, Muslim, Baptist, Hindu, Jewish, Mormon, and Buddhist spiritual traditions. Together we’ve built schools, established clean water systems, empowered impoverished women (especially single mothers), organized village health clinics and hospitals, advised government and church institutions on how to empower the poor, rolled out appropriate technology systems, labored to combat leprosy in India, help communities recover after natural disasters, and more.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Want to change the world? This book shares stories and practical ways that as Christians we can help to reduce human suffering in many developing nations. It admonishes all of us, as children of God, to reduce the suffering of others, empower the poor, and take innovative actions to improve society by applying our faith and brains as well as financial resources. God anointed his Son with the Holy Spirit and power, and Jesus “went around doing good” (Acts 10:38), and we should follow his example. He didn’t merely suggest that we serve the world’s have-nots; He commanded us to do so. Utilizing the best and most impactful solutions that exist, in this book I draw on the labors-of-love carried out by many U.S. Christians to offer the world’s poor not merely a handout, but an empowering hand-up. The book inspires readers with amazing stories of washing the feet of lepers in India, aiding earthquake victims in Haiti, using microloans to help the Native American poor as Jesus would do, and laboring to assist survivors in rebuilding after the horrific Asian tsunami crisis, plus much more.

MORE PERSONAL/PROFESSIONAL INFO ABOUT ME:
There are two major thrusts to my lifelong societal impacts beginning after I earned an M.A. and Ph.D. in organizational behavior from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
BUSINESS CO-OPS AND ESOPS:
For two decades in the 1980-90s I was a fierce advocate for U.S. worker empowerment. With my Cornell partners, Professors William Foote Whyte and Christopher Meek, we did research and testified in Congress on behalf of groups seeking to preserve manufacturing jobs. With lawyers, labor leaders, corporate executives, and other professionals, we lobbied for support to save or reduce plant closings, aid communities that were losing their economic foundations, create greater equality, etc. I personally traveled the country testifying in U.S. Senate hearings, advising the federal government and various state governors in designing programs such as ESOPs (Employee Stock Ownership Plans) and worker-owned cooperatives that would provide incentives for states to aid businesses in trouble, create worker re-training programs, and more. Our initial efforts expanded rapidly as many Americans caught the vision of local economic resurgence. Political leaders from the left and right agreed with our strategies, from Ronald Reagan to Ted Kennedy, and others. Eventually much legislation passed in Congress that led to a nationwide movement known as Worker Ownership. The ESOP strategy led to the eventual statistics that today include approximately 1.5 million individuals laboring in some seven thousand firms that they own, many of them owning 100 percent, where they may also have shop floor labor-management teams, as well as board seats that enable them to set strategies and policies for a better future. ESOP assets today total over $2 trillion. I was elected to the board of the National Center for Employee Ownership in Washington, DC, and current ESOP data can be found on their website, https://www.nceo.org/pages/nceo.php With others, our drive to also foster worker-owned cooperatives ultimately led to the establishment of the National Cooperative Bank in Washington https//ncb.coop/ that has now funded over $6 billion in capital support. With its funding and technical assistance, there are 30,000 co-ops across the U.S. such as manufacturing firms, housing co-ops, food co-ops, health co-ops, and many other cooperative models. After two decades of building these mechanisms for family well-being as an economic movement across America, I gradually shifted my efforts to fighting poverty globally as described below.
INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT:
In the late 1990s, I next turned to the poor in developing nations to design and teach the first U.S. courses in Microcredit and Social Entrepreneurship using sustainable business strategies, topics now taught at over 700 American college campuses. With collaborators I founded and/or served on the boards of some 41 NGOs including Mentors International (14 countries), Ouelessebougou Alliance (Mali), Unitus (23 nations), and HELP International (18 countries). In 2024 alone the NGOs and co-ops which my associates and I established during past decades grew to over 9.2 million clients living sustainably. Last year (2024) they collectively raised $28 million and trained over 372,000 microentrepreneurs. I’ve been honored with the Faculty Pioneer Award for global impacts from the Aspen Institute in NYC, the Social Entrepreneurship Teaching Award at the Skoll World Forum at Oxford University, and I was the first Peter Drucker Visiting Scholar in Social Entrepreneurship at the Drucker School, Claremont University in LA, plus many more recognitions. Also, I was appointed by Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus to the Advisory Board of Grameen America in NYC. After decades of being an MBA professor at the Marriott School of Business at BYU, in recent years, I turned to being a visiting faculty member at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City where I teach a course, "How to Change the World," but only once a year because I spend most of my time working globally with NGOs to empower impoverished communities. In addition to my NGO consulting pro bono, I train government officials, church leaders of multiple faiths, professors, and nonprofit executives while also lecturing at prestigious institutions across the USA and Europe.
The pics below include my dear friend, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Prof. Muhammad Yunus, with women microentrepreneurs in rural Bangladesh, my latest book cover on ways we can change the world, the Grameen America managing director in NYC and me during a winter visit to its New York headquarters when I was an Advisory Board member, and microcredit social entrepreneurs in Asia paying off microloans.

Folks, I've been working and traveling among poor nations for a couple of years without posting. Hears a recent call to action:
I've been saddened the past several weeks to receive 7 emails from friends and NGO colleagues in both Myanmar and Thailand regarding the massive 7.7 earthquake in Asia. Of course, they reminded me of being involved in a few terrible others when I’ve organized new NGOs to assist, help rebuild etc. Each was terrible in unique ways.
I remember organizing my BYU Social Entrepreneur class of amazing students to assist when the Haiti 2010 quake destroyed almost all large buildings and a million homes. The disaster killed between 160,000-200,000 and set the nation back two decades. After it occurred, we launched Sustain Haiti and for 20 years we trained and sent teams to assist with 1) rebuilding schools and orphanages, 2) creating jobs through microenterprises we funded, 3) establishing thousands of Square Foot Gardens so families could triple produce on tiny plots of land to feed children more nutritious food, and have more to sell in local markets as sources of additional income, 4) help design and install new water systems to enable citizens access to clean water, etc.
A few years earlier, a devastating big quake (9.2 magnitude) sent massive waves through the Indian Ocean, as the well-known “Asian Tsunami” flooded shoreline towns of 11 countries, killing 228,000 people and causing billions in damages. We mobilized teams of my students, and we launched Wave of Hope by preparing them to spend multiple summers in Khao Lak, Thailand and other areas. We labored to help rebuild fishing boats and secure big, expensive new engines to save the fishing industry. We established “Thaikea” as a woodshop to make thousands of school desks, as well as rudimentary household furniture, etc.
But this recent disaster is atrocious in some ways because there’s a civil war occurring in Myanmar. So far, according to my NGO friends there, several thousand individuals have died with perhaps tens of thousands to yet be discovered. And in Thailand, the poverty is so great that this new quake will require years to recover, according to colleagues in Bangkok. More bodies are expected to be found, and in Thailand, the poverty is so great that this new quake will require years to recover.
So, friends, check out effective, trustworthy relief and rebuilding organizations to make a sizeable donation of whatever amount you have sufficient love to therefore make. Prayers are useful, whether from believers in the Latter-day Saint faith, or do it in Hindu, Buddhist, or other Christian spiritual traditions. The important thing is to give. Never forget, it's up to all of us!

Dear social entrepreneur friends:
My new book on how to change the world is out. "Radiant Mormonism" captures my 42 years of laboring to significantly reduce human suffering and empower the poor. By writing about my LDS values, and in collaboration with wealthy and average friends, students and home makers, it conveys what a life of consecration and stewardship has been for me. Believing the gospel is one thing. Practicing our religion is something more. Below is a blurb with advanced praise from global influencers like Muhammad Yunus, Richard Bushman, Liz Wiseman, Joseph Grenny, Dave Ulrich, Margaret Blair Young, Terryl Givens, Robert Rees, and others. If you've ever considered making a worldwide difference in improving societies, this may be of interest. I express appreciation to the thousands of villagers I've partnered with and learned from. Enjoy!
"Radiant Mormonism: Using Our Faith in Christ to Power World-changing Service" by Warner Woodworth (Author) February 28, 2022

Praise for Radiant Mormonism:
Professor Muhammad Yunus—Nobel Peace Prize Laureate 2006, founder of the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh, microcredit and social business pioneer, Chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland, member on the board of directors of the United Nations Foundation, author of books such as Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty, Building Social Business, and other best-sellers: recipient of awards including the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal:
“Professor Woodworth became a great friend over the years. He invited me many times to speak to his students and conferences. It led to his many visits to Bangladesh to spend time with Grameen Bank. He and his band of Brigham Young University students have rolled out multiple NGOs around the globe, and this book explains how and why.”
Richard Bushman—Historian and Gouverneur Morris Professor Emeritus of History at Columbia University, having also taught at Harvard, Boston University, and University of Delaware; winner of the Bancroft Prize; recipient of fellowships at the Smithsonian, Claremont, and Princeton; author of the best-selling Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling: “If Warner’s book is taken seriously, readers will emerge with a greatly enlarged idea of what the Mormon movement can accomplish in the world. Mormonism is more potent that we have imagined.”
Paul H. Thompson—Former president of Weber State University, Harvard Business School professor, vice president of Brigham Young University, dean at BYU’s Marriott School of Management: “I can think of no one who is better qualified to write a book about helping the poor. Warner has spent a great deal of time in the past 50 years working tirelessly in many parts of the world to help people at the bottom of the pyramid. This book describes a few of the NGOs with which he has worked to better the lives of many people and will inspire its readers to follow Warner’s lead.”
Curt Bassett—JD, CEO of Impact Investment Leaders, founder of Purpose Investors Network, formerly a finance leader on Wall Street: “Warner Woodworth, Ph.D., is the ‘Johnny Appleseed’ of social enterprise because no one can match him in starting up both nonprofit and for-profit social enterprises around the world—aided by his many admiring MBA students. He wanders through the world, planting tiny NGO seeds that grow into large, lasting oak trees. Today many economic analysts believe we’re now in a ‘Purpose Economy,’ where the primary driver in successful business is social purpose. In his latest volume, Radiant Mormonism, Warner again shows he’s one of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs and explains why LDS members are among the most socially minded people in the world and thereby prepared to excel in this new economy. The Church encourages the core pillars of ‘Purpose’ in the New Economy: volunteerism, service, and charitable giving to redistribute wealth to the poor. But just as important, he explains how LDS teachings about the principles of responsibility and self-reliance must govern all wealth redistribution. When combining these principles with the Church’s ‘pioneer-culture,’ ‘can-do’ attitude, and ‘hard-work-ethic,’ this has resulted not only in the Church and many of its members ranking high in affluence, but also in Utah’s ranking #1 in social entrepreneurism around the world.”
Joseph Grenny—Four-time author of New York Times best-selling books like Crucial Conversations, Influencer, and others, co-founder of global consulting firm Vital Smarts, and Unitus: “My life would be impoverished were it not for the good fortune of Warner Woodworth’s previous books’ landing on my desk 25 years ago. Working Toward Zion translated my abstract religious commitments into concrete moral duties that set me on a different life course—one that has infinitely enriched my life. And I am not alone. I know I speak for hundreds whose lives beat to another trajectory after encountering Woodworth’s writings. Radiant Mormonism is destined to do the same for the next generation. The establishment of Zion is not just a prophecy, it is a commandment. And few men in our generation have attempted to obey it more completely than Warner Woodworth. This is not just an interesting account of intrepid do-gooders; it is a sure guide for filling the measure of our creation."
Margaret Blair Young—Now living in Democratic Republic of the Congo, former president of the Association for Mormon Letters, co-author of a trilogy of historical novels about Black Mormon pioneers titled Standing on the Promises and creator of the “Nobody Knows: The Untold Story of Black Mormons” shown on PBS; award-winning playwright of “I Am Jane” about Black Mormon pioneer Jane Manning James: “We have had no electricity or internet for a while, having to use a battery pack for internet now. Village violence claimed many lives, including children’s lives, last week. A land dispute fomented the violence. One side was victimized, but then the victims ’became the executioners.’ This is the cycle of violence and will be repeated until it is stopped not by a new policy or persuasive words, but by a change of heart. I have come to see the ideal of Zion as the real hope for the DR-Congo—and for all of us. Here in this part of Africa, the ideal seems like the only way out of the corruption and war, and indeed a matter of life and death. Violence in the USA has become more verbal than physical, but it is pervasive. I have long looked at Warner Woodworth as one who lives the ideal, who seeks to do good at all times, who has provided templates and patterns for unity and success throughout the world. This kind of ‘Radiant Mormonism’ shines like stars in an often dark world.”
Devin Thorpe—Well-known podcaster, motivational speaker, author of a number of books such as Your Mark on the World; Crowdfunding for Social Good, and Adding Profit by Adding Purpose: “Radiant Mormonism describes aspirationally the Church I believe in, follow and preach. Author Warner Woodworth uses his articulate, respected voice to nudge us toward more Christlike lives, defined more by action and generosity than by hollow expressions of faith.”
Matthew Bowman—Associate professor of history and religion, Howard W. Hunter Chair of Mormon Studies, Claremont Graduate University; author of The Mormon People: The Making of an American Faith: “Warner Woodworth’s inspiring call for a religion that transforms not only ourselves, but the world around us into the image of God, is borne out by the work of his lifetime. This book will introduce you to the message and the messenger.”
Louis M. Pope—Former CEO, social entrepreneur and business leader, humanitarian globally, especially in Africa: “Radiant Mormonism reawakens in us that knowledge that we should be doing more to help the poor. Dr Warner Woodworth has given us insight not only the ‘why’ but the ‘how’ we can make a difference and make this world a better place for all.”
Liz Wiseman—CEO of Wiseman Group, a leadership research and development firm headquartered in Silicon Valley, consultant to Fortune 500 firms globally, New York Times best-selling author of books such as Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, recognized in 2019 as the top leadership thinker in the world: “For years Dr. Woodworth has inspired his students to create organizations where people at all levels can contribute and flourish in meaningful ways. His teaching changed my vision. Now in Radiant Mormonism, he invites saints everywhere to set our sights higher and help build communities where poverty dies and humanity flourishes. This book is a powerful call to think bigger, to serve more expansively, and to stand for the highest ideals in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I hope everyone in the church reads this book.”
Terryl L. Givens—Author of a dozen-plus books such as Wrestling the Angel and, with Fiona Givens, All Things New; professor emeritus of literature and religion at the University of Richmond: “Joseph Smith referred to Zion as a global enterprise ‘that has interested the people of God in every age.’ Building Zion will require extraordinary efforts to transcend our historical proclivity toward self-concern, in order to alleviate suffering and build community across religions, cultures, and peoples. Warner Woodworth provides a marvelous template for the kind of innovations and creativity he and kindred souls have fostered to move us in that direction.”
Sarah Carmichael Parsons—Canadian cofounder and manager of NGOs, Wave of Hope, Empowering Nations, board member of HELP International, founder of Dolls of Hope and the Undaunted Foundation: “I have had the privilege of learning from Warner Woodworth as a graduate student at BYU and during a number of years as we worked together to respond to the devastation of the South-East Asian Tsunami through ‘Wave of Hope,’ as we worked to create the nonprofit Empowering Nations, and later as a board member of HELP International. Warner provided me with the means to do what has been in my heart for so long. I am grateful for his tutelage, mentoring, and support over the years and feel incredibly honored to have been able to work alongside him and to rub shoulders with him. His legacy has reached the tiniest of villages from the Philippines to Kenya, from Ghana to Peru, from Paraguay to Haiti. If anyone is qualified to write a book about how members of the LDS Church can more fully live out the gospel of Jesus Christ and build Zion, it is Warner.”
Robert A. Rees—Ph.D., UCLA professor, assistant dean, poet, Fellow at the Center for Advanced Research, visiting professor at numerous schools, currently director of Mormon Studies at Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley; co-founder and vice president, Bountiful Children’s Foundation: “Apostle Jeffrey Holland stated, ‘Jesus’s first and foremost messianic duty [was] to bless the poor…. [He] has issued no more persistent call than for us to join Him in lifting this burden from the people.’ I don’t know of anyone in the modern church who has responded to Jesus’s call more successfully and more consistently than Warner Woodworth. The title of his new book, Radiant Mormonism, is an apt summary of Warner’s own life and ministry, not only as a supreme philanthropist, but as a teacher, inspirer, and leader of others to address the needs of the poor, the needy, the downtrodden, the forgotten—those Mother Theresa calls ‘Jesus in disguise.’ This book chronicles in a concrete way not only that such work must be done, but how it can be done—by anyone who chooses to follow Jesus. Get this book. Read it. Be inspired by it. Warner Woodworth is not only a Radiant Mormon, he is a radiant human being whose radiance has blessed and is blessing millions!”
Martín Burt, former mayor of Asunción, Paraguay, Founder and CEO of Fundación Paraguaya, Poverty Stoplight, and Teach a Man to Fish (UK), recipient of the prestigious Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship at Oxford University, PhD: "This book adds a unique perspective to the conversation on poverty. With his persistent and unrelenting dedication to those experiencing poverty, Warner Woodworth is a beacon for all of us, and in this book he shares some of his most inspiring stories. I have been lucky enough to get to know some of Warner’s work in person and am thrilled to see his expertise now available as a book for everyone to learn from. This book is bound to motivate and guide readers of all faiths to join the fight against poverty and to reduce human suffering.”
Sam Daley-Harris—Founder of RESULTS, Civic Courage, co-founder of the Microcredit Summit Campaign, author of Reclaiming Our Democracy: “I first met Warner Woodworth more than 25 years ago at the University of Michigan where he’d driven a dozen BYU students to a microfinance conference to meet future Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhmmad Yunus. Since then, I have been inspired by his deep commitment to empowering students and Mormons from all walks of life to do ‘More Good’ and practice ‘Radiant Mormonism’ on behalf of the world’s poor.”
Jaime Figueroa of Cusco, Peru, cofounder and Field Director in the Andes of what originally was the NGO called Chasqui Humanitarian named after the ancient Incas of the Peru that later evolved into Eagle Condor Humanitarian: “This will be a valuable book in educating thousands of volunteers and donors to establish future NGOs among the “pobrecitos” of my people. Hearts will increasingly turn to especially aid Lamanite communities in their struggles for emancipation. In our MPA courses, Dr. Woodworth, helped us start innovative strategies to do rural development, set up schools, offer economic development through microenterprises, provide adult literacy, and in many other ways empower the ultra-poor of the Lamanite people.” The programs continue their impacts today, 20 years later. Yes, change is possible. ‘Sí, se puede!’"
Afton Beutler—of Geneva, Switzerland, a longtime leader serving on the UN Committee on the Status of Women, Alliance for Health, and Freedom of Religion Committee: “In 2004, the Nigerian women’s leader Carol Ugochukwu of Worldwide Organization for Women (WOW) and I miraculously met Warner, and it changed my perspective toward global endeavors. My heart and life was never, ever the same. So, I am happy to support his new book on NGOs. He has always been my inspiration to continue such work in human rights by his great example of being an advocate and a voice for those whose voices at the grassroots are not always heard. Warner has been the voice guiding many of us at this time in history.”
Jim McConkie, attorney, a founder of the Refugee Justice League (2017), a non-profit organization of attorneys offering pro-bono legal help to refugees discriminated against because of religion, ethnicity, or national origin that now has a membership of over 800 lawyers, former Assistant United States Attorney, law practice focuses on civil rights and personal injury, UTAH State Bar 'Lawyer of the Year,' coauthor of Whom Say Ye That I Am: Lessons from the Jesus of Nazareth and a Mormon history book, Looking at the Doctrine and Covenants Again for the First Time: “Warner Woodworth’s book, Radiant Mormonism, is an inspiring look at what individuals and groups can do to help alleviate the suffering and pain in this world. It makes you want to get up of your comfortable armchair and do something! It is a lesson on how to magnify good intentions and good works that are at the heart of Christianity and put into practice those same impulses that inspired our LDS forefathers to live the Law of Consecration and sacrifice for each other.”
Gordon Shepherd—Co-author of The Palgrave Handbook of Global Mormonism and Growing Up in the City of the Saints, professor at University of Central Arkansas: “Through both word and action, Warner Woodworth challenges members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to live lives of compassion and service beyond their organizational roles in a demanding lay religion. Radiant Mormonism demonstrates the many ways that abstract concern for the welfare of underprivileged people worldwide has been effectively transformed into concrete modes of volunteer action for helping people in need to help themselves. The subtext of this inspiring book is the ethical demand required of church members—both individually and collectively—to actively embrace the unselfish standards signified by the designation of ‘Latter-day Saints.’”
Gary Shepherd—Co-author of Binding Earth and Heaven and Talking with the Children of God, professor of sociology and anthropology at Oakland University: “Warner Woodworth has dedicated the entirety of his adult life not only to passionately advocating for the poor but, more significantly, to creating and implementing innovative ways that have improved and elevated the economic prospects for tens of thousands of impoverished people around the world. In this volume, he details case studies that show how he and others he has inspired have put into action core values of their LDS faith to bring about powerful economic and social improvement for people previously ensnared in the seemingly hopeless grip of structural-generational poverty. An apt subtitle for this book—aimed squarely at Warner’s Mormon co-religionists—would be Actualization of Faith, Hope, and Charity.”
Scott C. Hammond—Author of Lessons of the Lost: Finding Hope and Resilience in Work, Life and the Wilderness, Professor at the Huntsman Business School, Utah State University: “Warner Woodworth shows how today’s Mormon pioneers should keep walking, beyond ‘This is the Place…,’ beyond prosperity, beyond education, to a real Zion. Read, but don’t expect to be comfortable! Expect to want to get busy.”
João Bueno—Brazilian LDS Church leader, BYU Master of Public Administration graduate, executive director of Care for Life in Africa, administrator of Native American Serving Non-Tribal Institutions with the US Department of Education adjacent to the Ute and Navajo reservations: “I was in Warner’s social entrepreneurship class where I learned about self-reliance and increased my lifelong desire to serve the poor. This book, like his many ‘required articles,’ helped me develop one of the most successful community development programs implemented in Africa: our NGO called Care for Life. Warner has become a friend, tutor, and mentor. I never could have imagined his influence on me and the villages of Mozambique.”
