Imagine turning a tiny 86 dollar micro loan into a thriving business with twelve factory buildings. In this inspiring episode of the Walking with the Savior podcast, host John Merrill Kirkman sits down with humanitarian extraordinaire Warner Woodworth to discuss a lifetime dedicated to fighting global poverty. From the favelas of Brazil to the villages of West Africa, Warner shares how faith and business strategies can combine to change the world.

Warner discusses his journey from being a young missionary in Brazil to becoming a professor at the Marriott School and the University of Utah. You will hear the miraculous story of how Mentors International began with a single check and a prayer, eventually helping over a million people achieve self reliance. He explains the concept of social entrepreneurship and why he believes a person filled with the love of God is never content to bless their family alone but wanders the earth to bless the whole human race.

This conversation is a masterclass in faith, service, and the power of micro credit. Warner shares moving accounts of individuals like Vilma de Los Santos, whose life was transformed by a small loan and a sewing machine. Whether you are looking for inspiration to serve or practical insights on making a global impact, Warner Woodworth’s experiences offer a powerful roadmap for walking with the Savior in the service of the poor.
