Pastor Chris Edmonds is founder of Roddie’s Code, an organization committed to extend the leadership and legacy of his father to future generations. He is also an inspirational speaker and author who emulates his father’s personal code. Chris’ father, Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, stood on the right side of history during WWII while a POW in a German camp in 1944 by saving 200 Jewish GIs under his command and later devised a plan that rescued all 1,292 of his men from a death. Chris once said, “I want the Jewish community to know that my dad’s actions in World War II mean something today as they face more hatred again all over the world. And I want to inspire others, people like my dad, like me, ordinary people, Christians who care about our Jewish friends. You do not have to be perfect to do something extraordinary.”
