WHAT DOES “THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM” HAVE TO DO WITH EEM?
In 1961, one of EEM’s founding team members, Gwen Hensley, spoke of “the impossible dream”—the dream of placing God’s Word in the heart language of every person behind the Iron Curtain.
It seemed impossible. Borders were closed. Bibles were banned. Yet, with courage and creativity, EEM found ways to move Scripture into places where darkness tried to shut it out—until 1989, when the Iron Curtain fell and freedom’s light broke through.
But the dream didn’t end there. It expanded.Today, EEM serves 35+ nations in 30+ languages, providing Bibles and biblical materials to schools, churches, prisons, refugee camps, and orphanages—always free to all.
What began with a handful of dreamers carrying suitcases of Bibles has become a movement carrying hope to millions.
The impossible dream didn’t die.
It multiplied.
Join us. Fund a Bible. Help the dream live on.

ELMIRA’S STORY

Elmira’s Story – SAVED FROM ADDICTION
Before Christ, Elmira’s days in an industrial town in Kyrgyzstan were marked by heavy drinking, frequent quarrels, and neglected children—an exhausted cycle that kept her family in crisis. One afternoon she collapsed in the street from overdrinking; Christian neighbors found her, carried her home, washed and fed the children, and stayed to make sure everyone was safe. They offered gentle counsel about the path of destruction she was on and that there was a better way through Jesus Christ. And they gifted her a Bible.
Elmira brought the Bible home, and she and her husband began to read and pray together. In time, both were freed from addiction and gave their lives to Christ. Today, they host a small house church for people overcoming alcoholism. We have the honor of partnering with the Bible Society of Kyrgyzstan to provide free Kyrgyz-language Bibles, which Elmira and her husband now share with neighbors and those in recovery who gather in their home. One Bible rarely stops at one person—when God’s Word changes a life, it changes many.
