Area Ministry Children/Youth Urban Ministry Young Adult

Dayjoh and Kayla serve in Upper Darby, PA where they prioritize various urban communities. They recognize a strong need for holistic discipleship among teenagers, many of which are affected by poverty, drug use, violence, and other daily challenges. Dayjoh and Kayla started a ministry called “L.I.G.H.T.” (Living in God's Heavenly Truth) which is a dynamic teen ministry designed to train and empower young men and women, ages 12–18, to discover and walk confidently in their God-given identity. The slogan says it all: "Discover YOU from God's lens." 

 
Local Reach

As a teenager, you are often yearning to understand your identity, discern what is right, and discover your significance and purpose in this world. Dayjoh and Kayla’s ministry, L.I.G.H.T, strives to solve this uncertainty for teens through programs that provide them with:

  1. Mentorship and discipleship
  2. Meals and beverages
  3. Trips and exposure experiences
  4. Work-field experiences
  5. A safe space and welcoming environment

It's through this ministry that Dayjoh and Kayla are able to see the needs and challenges youth are facing and meet them where they are.

Dayjoh and Kayla joined InFaith as missionary candidates in 2025. Their story is rooted in faith, family, and a shared passion for building legacy. As best friends in high school turned husband and wife, they’ve grown together through life’s challenges and victories, learning how to keep God at the center of their marriage and mission. Today, they are the proud parents of three energetic boys and are joyfully preparing to welcome a baby girl into their family.

More than just a couple, the Kings see themselves as partners in purpose. Their journey has inspired them to pour into their community, especially young people, teaching them to see themselves through God’s lens and to rise as leaders of change. Whether in their home, in ministry, or in the wider community, Dayjoh and Kayla bring authenticity, resilience, and love to everything they do.
