About The Greatest Story Never Told
Jeff Williams is a young man with a busy life. Work, school, church, sports. But when a missionary family stationed Africa comes home to the United States for a visit, Jeff learns that sharing his faith doesn't necessarily require leaving home. Jeff comes to realize that his ideas about what a mission field really is have kept him from being a witness to those around him, including his boss, his friends and even the kid next door.
Directed by John Schmidt, The Greatest Story Never Told leans on a strong ensemble — David Meinke, Jim Custer, Brent Lauer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1983.
