About Me


Derek Joseph Levendusky is an author, worship artist, and speaker with the ministry focus of strengthening believers to be life-giving followers of Jesus. His passion is to see believers everywhere experiencing the grace of God, resulting in a lifestyle of worship and evangelism. Derek is also the lead singer and founder of Isaiah Six, a worship band with an international impact, though he recently launched his solo ministry career in addition to his work with Isaiah Six. His worship songs are being enjoyed in churches all over the world, and his albums and books continue to challenge and encourage thousands. Derek has been to over 13 nations, including serving for a year in Tanzania, East Africa, where he nearly died of malaria. Associated with Elim Fellowship, an international fellowship of churches and ministries, Derek also serves as an elder of the movement, and an instructor at Elim Bible Institute. His wife, Heidi Jo, is also a worship artist, and continues to produce her own music.
