THE TEAM

Valerie Elyott is the founder of Holding His Gaze. She is a visionary leader who serves the body of Christ with a diverse team of Christians, as The Elyott Generation; a multigenerational ministry that inspires intimacy with the Lord and equips people to walk in their callings. With a focus  on encouraging intimacy with the Lord as a lifestyle, they create environments for many to encounter the Lord and develop their relationship with Him. 

She is passionate about seeing people mature into their full potential and partners with leaders to strategically position their ministries or businesses to fulfill God's agenda. 

She enjoys talikng about the Lord, hearing from Him, and encouraging others to do the same. Holding His Gaze gives her the space and opportunity to do so. 

Yemi Lufadeju is the Coordinator for Holding His Gaze. She finds joy and purpose in fellowship with others, and in supporting and encouraging faith communities to thrive in the awareness and expression of God’s love. She is an international civil servant and published author, gracefully married and raising two children in Sweden.

"The joy of freedom and the importance of identity keep me engaged with the Lord through Holding His Gaze. There’s pleasure in the discovery and experience of being a child of God, and this ministry brings it all together in an authentic way. For all the years I’ve been nurtured spiritually through Holding His Gaze, I am grateful for the push and pull of each session that keeps calling me higher and taking me deeper in divine fellowship."

My name is Keji Aofiyebi. I have been part of The Elyott Generation team for several years and I serve directly with Holding His Gaze as the Administrator. 

I chose to be a part of Holding His Gaze because the teachings are genuine and authentic. They provide practical insights into what it means to walk intimately with the Lord. The Word is broken  down into digestible pieces that are easy to apply to everyday life. I have been a Christian for over 20 years, and Holding His Gaze has played a significant role in my spiritual growth and deepening my intimacy with the Lord.
