“Eli Akin is an incredible musician, but more importantly, a worship leader who points people towards Jesus in everything he does. I’ve enjoyed working with him for the last several years and watched him grow in every aspect! Even though he is an accomplished singer with a great track record, he was more than willing to try new styles of music and increase his ability to connect with people in the congregation while leading worship.
It’s been such a blessing to watch Eli grow as a singer. Someone as Eli who is willing to be teachable and apply the lessons he’s learned immediately, exemplifies a high level of leadership qualities. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Eli and or have him to come to lead their church or event would be blessed in every way possible!”
“Eli has been an incredible blessing to A Better Way Ministries. From providing delicious barbecue for the men to leading powerful times of praise, worship, and testimonies, he has poured into our ministry with a servant’s heart. His encouragement and generosity have made a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful for all he has shared with us.”
“I have had the joy and privilege of working with Eli Akin as a worship pastor. Eli has many musical skills he brings with him as he leads in worship. Yet, above his keyboard and guitar talents and his amazing voice, Eli brings a love for God and people with him every time he leads. His passion for God’s glory and his purity of heart as he leads God’s people in worship will be a blessing to you and your people. ”
“If you are looking for a worship leader to fill in from time to time, I wholeheartedly recommend Eli Akin. From the very beginning, Eli demonstrated a welcoming spirit that made people feel at home in the presence of God. His heart for the Gospel was evident not only in the songs he led but also in the way he carried himself—pointing every moment back to Christ rather than to himself.
To me, his leadership style is both authentic and Spirit-filled. He creates an atmosphere where worship is not a performance, but a genuine encounter with the Lord. He has been a tremendous blessing to our congregation.
Beyond his musical gifts, Eli is simply an amazing person. His humility, his kindness, and his integrity shine through in everything he does. I am deeply grateful for the way he served our church, and I know he will continue to impact lives wherever God leads him.”
“I am grateful to recommend Eli Akin as a guest worship leader. He carries a true heart for worship, always seeking to lead people into God’s presence rather than simply performing. His genuine love for the Lord and for others shines through in the way he leads, and his musical gifts make him both engaging and effective. One of his greatest strengths is how well he works with already established worship teams—he comes alongside them with humility, encouragement, and collaboration, helping the team sound their best while keeping the focus on Christ. Any church would be blessed by his leadership, authenticity, and heart for worship.”
“Open Prayer Spaces has engaged Eli Akin to lead worship and prayer gatherings over the past 18 months. Eli’s intimacy with God is so evident as he leads. His humility and tenderness draws people in.
We are so grateful for how he recognized our desire to lift up Jesus and to amplify our praise and prayers through worship. Those who have gathered with us for times of worship have commented on how the worship has prepared them and connected them to seek God in prayer. ”
“We were truly blessed to have Eli serve as our worship leader for a recent team event. His Spirit-led approach created an atmosphere of genuine worship, uplifting our team and drawing us closer together and to the Lord. We wholeheartedly recommend Eli for any setting where heartfelt, inspired worship is desired.”
