What is the root of so many problems in today's world? Is there any remedy, any hope?

Working together, helping each other, and showing love to those who are lonely, downcast, forgotten, mistreated will change things around. It helps the ones who receive love as well as those who give it – a win-win situation. Selfless love can give us a new outlook on life and solve our personal problems as well as those in the world. “Change the World with Love” offers concrete ideas how to make this dream become a reality.

What is the book about?

This book is a personal account of the author who lived in 14 different countries on four continents – including five years in India and ten years in Africa.

For the past 48 years, he has been working as a full-time volunteer, helping people live better lives.

Most recently, he and his team have built two schools in the “bush” in the DR Congo, offering free tuition for thousands of children – not a given in this country.

HIS LIFE EXPERIENCES CAN BENEFIT ANYONE WHO WANTS TO LEAD A HAPPIER AND MORE FULFILLING LIFE.  

The proceeds of this book will support the school projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Wolfgang Peter Schmidt

Since my teenage years, I have been searching for a solution to the problems
that exist in the world and in my own life. When I experienced true selfless love for the first time, it was a turning point in my life. Since then – for more than 48 years – I have been helping others to have the same experience, in 14 countries
around the globe. For the past 25 years, I have been organizing humanitarian
and development aid projects, first in Eastern Europe and since
2000, in Africa.

I have lived in Africa for more than 10 years, mostly in the DR Congo, which
motivated me to write this book “Change the World with Love.” Most of the
people there lack the essentials of life. They need better education and
infrastructure as well as more agricultural and rural development.
The weaknesses of the industrialized countries, who put too much emphasis on materialism and money, need to be addressed as well. The main change has
to occur in the heart, mind and attitude.
The only solution to greed, war, hunger, poverty and loneliness is love.

Dieses Buch ist ein Schatz; es bietet die Geschichte eines außergewöhnlichen Lebens und darüber hinaus und deckt eine Vielzahl von Aspekten des Lebens ab.

Die Klarheit und Aufrichtigkeit, mit der der Autor die Lektionen, Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen seines persönlichen Lebens mitteilt, macht dieses Buch sowohl faszinierend, als auch aufschlussreich und motivierend.

Es ist eine leichte Lektüre: Man hat den Eindruck, neben dem Autor in einer entspannten Umgebung zu sitzen – wie auf einer Bank in einem schönen Park – und ihm beim Erzählen zuzuhören. Doch dieses Buch ist mehr als eine Geschichte. Es ist der Bericht eines außergewöhnlichen Abenteuers und eine Aufforderung, Teil einer besseren Welt zu sein.

This book is a treasure; it offers the story of an extra-ordinary life and beyond, covering a multitude of aspects of life.

The clarity and genuineness with which the author shares his personal life’s lessons, experiences and observations, makes this book both fascinating, insightful and motivating.

It is easy reading: One has the impression of sitting next to the author in a relaxed setting – like on a bench in a beautiful park – listening to him tell the story. However this book is more than a story. It is the account of an outstanding adventure as well as an invitation to be a part of a better world.

If you are interested in the Africa adventure and want to know what drives people like Wolfgang and Lenka to dedicate their life’s work to a country like the Congo, I would like to heartily recommend this book to you. I learned a lot about the country and the people there, and was happy about the rays of hope that Wolfgang’s stories offered me between all the discouraging news that constantly reach us from the great continent of Africa. Faith and love are two great recurring themes in this book and I think who else would be better suited to talk about these topics than Wolfgang and Lenka, who have dedicated their whole lives to the service of others.

Wer sich für das Abenteuer Afrika interessiert und wissen möchte, was Menschen wie Wolfgang und Lenka dazu antreibt, ihr Lebenswerk einem Land wie dem Kongo zu widmen, dem möchte ich dieses Buch ans Herz legen. Ich habe viel über das Land und die Menschen dort gelernt und freute mich über die Lichtblicke, die Wolfgangs Erzählungen mir zwischen all den entmutigenden Nachrichten, die uns laufend von dem großen Kontinent Afrika erreichen, geboten haben. Glaube und Liebe sind zwei große wiederkehrende Themen in diesem Buch und ich finde, wer sonst wäre besser geeignet um über diese Themen zu sprechen als Wolfgang und Lenka das Ehepaar Schmidt, die ihr ganzes Leben in den Dienst von anderen gestellt haben.

„Verändere die Welt mit Liebe“ gibt uns einen umfassenden Überblick in die Probleme des Kongos während seiner turbulenten Geschichte bis heute. W. P. Schmidt hat uns einen Einblick in die Ursachen seiner Drangsale gegeben und was wir dagegen tun können. Mit seiner erfolgreichen Bildungsarbeit vor Ort setzt er seinen Glauben in die Tat um.

For me, reading this book was like taking a trip to the Congo without even stepping outside my door. It also made me realize how blessed and fortunate I am in so many ways. I was asked to read this manuscript and offer suggestions to help improve it. Little did I know that it would drastically impact and improve me.

Für mich war die Lektüre dieses Buches wie eine Reise in den Kongo, ohne auch nur einen Schritt vor die Tür zu setzen. Es machte mir auch klar, wie gesegnet und privilegiert ich in so vielerlei Hinsicht bin. Ich wurde gebeten, dieses Manuskript zu lesen und Vorschläge zu seiner Verbesserung zu machen. Ich hatte keine Ahnung, wie stark es mich beeinflussen und bereichern würde.

Personally, I would recommend this book to people whose purpose in life is helping others. … After I finished reading the book, I felt like a big weight was lifted off me. Now I know that every little help counts.

Ich persönlich würde dieses Buch Menschen empfehlen, deren Lebensziel es ist, anderen zu helfen. … Nachdem ich das Buch zu Ende gelesen hatte, fühlte ich, wie eine große Last von mir abfiel. Jetzt weiß ich, dass jede kleine Hilfe zählt.
