Hollywood Actress’ ‘Real Connection With God,’ On-Set Encounter With Holy Spirit

Actress Nika King, who plays a pastor’s wife in “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot,” is helping bring to light the movie’s powerful, real-life story about adoption and foster care. But King’s real-life connection to the issue and her role in portraying Donna Martin, wife of Bishop W.C. Martin, is a story only God could write. See, King’s character, Martin, is a preacher’s wife who inspired 22 families in her church to adopt 77 of the most difficult-to-place children.

As it turns out, King’s own mother’s story is strikingly similar to the events depicted in “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot.” “It’s my mom’s story,” King told CBN News of the movie. “She was fostered by a pastor and his wife. And I knew I had to be in this film some kind of way.” The actress said her maternal grandma was murdered and that her mom never knew her.
“It’s still a cold case,” King said. “We don’t know who did it.”

Her mom ended up in foster care with her three brothers. All four were adopted by the pastor and his wife, a similar dynamic to what happened in Possum Trot. “It kind of unfolded just like this movie … the ups and downs of being traumatized, being left alone, kind of to fend for yourself,” King said.

Decades later, King said she was fascinated by the opportunity to appear in “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot.” At first, King had a different role, but, as it came time to film, the cast shifted and she was thrown into the leading role — one she was overjoyed to play. “I was just so happy,” King said. “I said, ‘Yes’ … all the way through.” Watch her tell the story.
