The Impossible Dream, by Calvin and Carol Conkey, with Allyson Baldwin. Create International, 2020. 193 pages.
Several decades have passed since the newlywed Conkeys had a vision to create culturally relevant gospel presentations for every group on a list of more than 200 of the world’s largest least-reached people groups.
Led by God at every step and partnering with local believers and others in each context, they have recently seen that “impossible” dream accomplished—as well as much more along the way. This book provides a look behind the scenes.
What a joy to read story after story not only about the Conkeys’ journey but also about actors coming to faith, churches empowered to worship in local styles, and movements launched through these evangelistic films and related projects. If you have a vision to bring the gospel to the unreached, especially using media, this book is for you. Even if that’s not your beat, you’ll find it a winsome and inspiring read.
