Kissimmee Couple Goes on Six Day Outreach Road Trip
Rev. Jeddie and Elma King visited their granddaughter and her family during their road trip.
Armed with 100 copies of God’s Hope for America booklets, the Cheong Seong Gyeong and local ministry flyers, Rev. Jeddie and Rev. Elma King of Kissimmee, Florida embarked on a six day journey, reaching out to others in faith from November 24-30. The couple traveled west towards Alabama, speaking with people at every stop along the way. At each rest stop, restaurant, or gas station, Jeddie and Elma read from the books and talked about God to whoever would listen. They called it “planting seeds” and made sure to leave one at every stop.
Sometimes the seeds were in the form of good deeds. At a Chinese restaurant, they left their table cleaned and the dishes neatly stacked. “We always do this,” said Elma, and added, “As we were leaving [our hotel] the next day, I stacked the towels, and made the beds.” She proceeded to speak with the maid, telling her about Revelations and recounted, “As I reached out my hand to shake her hand, she backed away holding her head. Then she came back to tell me that she felt the Holy Spirit when I was talking to her, and she knew I was speaking the truth.”
They made outreach a priority on every day of their trip, even when they took time to visit family. On the way back home, they stopped at a correctional facility in Ocala, Florida to visit one of Jeddie’s relatives. They weren’t allowed to bring their books inside to hand out but Eddie said, “When we told her that the Messiah was on the earth, she cried. I told her to tell all of her inmates.”
Jeddie and Elma spoke to 93 people over the course of their six day trip. Each one saw True Parents’ picture and heard their words. Jeddie and Elma’s trip is an inspiring example of remembering God and True Parents in the midst of daily life. Who knows what fruits might grow from the seeds they planted on this meaningful road trip.

True Father: ” When you invest beyond your limits and even your life, the power of true love generates ten thousand times more energy. You will never fail when you invest true love. The amount of true love you invest will multiply and develop. The more you set the power of true love in motion, the greater it will grow so that you can embrace the world, the universe and even God.” (1991.10.25 – p.287 from the new CSG)
