Pastor Kenneth Drayton and Tomika Reid try to inspire passengers through spiritual guidance on the road as part of what they see as Christian ride-hailing ministries
In this Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2022, photo in Princeton, N.J., Tomika Reid holds books that she’s authored. Reid, a single mother and children’s book author in the Princeton area, works as a ride-hailing service driver and tries to inspire passengers through spiritual guidance on the road as part of what she sees as a ride-hailing ministry. NEW YORK — — One is an ordained pastor in Brooklyn, the other a single mother and children’s book author in New Jersey. Both drive for Lyft.
“The car is such an ideal place to do this because it’s personal,” said Drayton, who now drives for Lyft. “I can share my faith and it’s so important because that’s what I live for.” Reid also stays away from doctrine and focuses more on sharing her personal story, hoping it can help others deal with their challenges. Like Drayton, she feels that the church goes beyond the brick and mortar.
In 2017, she began driving for Lyft to support her daughters, who are now 14 and 20. In the backseat pocket of her 2019 Nissan Altima, she keeps the five books that she has written, including one for children on how to cope with the loss of a loved one.
