What’s up!! My name is Elijah Daly, I’m 18 years old, an aspiring musician, and a passionate worship leader who’s fallen in love with pursuing the presence of God.

My life was changed at worship nights and youth camps during middle and high school. These were the moments where I first encountered the Lord deeply. Since then, worship has become more than just music to me; it’s a place of transformation, honesty, and connection with God. It’s through worship that I’ve discovered my calling, and now I’m stepping into something even deeper.

This year, I’ll be heading to the YWAM (Youth With A Mission) base in Osaka, Japan for missionary training and outreach. I feel a strong pull to learn how to walk with God not just in ministry moments, but in the everyday. I don’t just want to serve God on stages — I want to learn how to live with Him in every room, every place, every culture. Through YWAM, I’ll receive discipleship training, deepen my understanding of Scripture, and learn how to share Jesus with people from all walks of life.

My heart’s desire is to grow closer to God, and to help others do the same — whether that’s through music, conversation, or simply the way I live. A verse that’s been shaping me in this season is Isaiah 43:19: "Behold, I am going to do something new, Now it will spring up; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert." I believe God is doing a new thing in my life, and I want to follow Him into that newness — fully surrendered, fully available.

I can’t do this alone. In order to be trained and sent, I need the support of others who believe in what God is doing. If you feel led to join me — whether through prayer, encouragement, or financial giving — you’ll be part of the story God is writing in and through my life.

Your partnership helps make this mission possible, and I would be incredibly grateful to have you walk alongside me.

Elijah
