Greg Allgood

Thirsty for a Miracle is a memoir that follows Greg’s eventful career in water work and his personal transformation in character and faith.
In the first phase of his career, he creates an innovative nonprofit unit of Procter & Gamble to distribute a water-purifying powder. For millions of people in the developing world, clean water can be the difference between life and death.  Motivated by this,  Greg creates innovative strategies, fights battles within his own company, teams up with celebrities and government leaders, survives brushes with death, and meets people living in extreme poverty who touch his heart in unforgettable ways.
Then in the second phase of his career he works with World Vision. Under his leadership, World Vision has become—by far—the largest NGO provider of water in the world. His strategies are so  bold and innovative that he meets internal organizational resistance, but he pushes through and sees God deliver results beyond his imagination. Half his time is spent with some of the wealthiest people on the planet; half his time is spent with some of the  poorest; and he’s at home with both. He has a realistic vision for the complete elimination of the global water crisis within the lifetimes of many people living today.
A scientist, a marketer, an adventurer, a storyteller, Greg is a fascinating individual. The consequences of his work could hardly be more serious, but his family calls him the “blue-eyed prince” because his personality is so likeable and things have a way of usually working out for him. He’s someone readers will want to go along with on the sometimes harrowing, often humorous, always adventurous journey of his life story.
