Pastor Daniel Di Paolo was born and raised in the suburban area of Laval, Quebec. From a very early age, it was clear that there was a special calling on his life. At the age of 14, the mere start of his adolescent years, he would begin preaching and traveling with his parents while ministering to various youth groups in Quebec and in the U.S.
Pastor Daniel felt a calling to go into full-time ministry, and so he left home and began his journey at the World Harvest Bible College in Ohio. He spent two and a half years studying the word of God and working in various aspects of ministry at World Harvest Church. After graduating in 2003, he returned home with a passion and burning desire to see God do a mighty work in the city Laval – the place of his childhood roots.
One year later, God impressed on Pastor Daniel’s heart the vision to begin a bible study in his parents’ home. Though the start of this ministry was modest with a gathering of only 10 people, it was strikingly clear that God had begun orchestrating a master plan withmuch more in store. After only three months, the space in his parents’ home would not suffice.
It was there that the Church of the Harvest was born. On September 3rd 2006, the first service took place in a beautiful church situated at 765 Laval Boulevard, right in the heart of Chomedey, Laval. Over 90 men and women gathered to give God praise and glory for the work that He had begun.
Church of the Harvest also began in 2006 a ministry called Pro-Vision Laval, which now has its own non-profit status. Pro-Vision Laval is a food bank that it helping hundreds of people in our local community. Through our weekly food distributions and through our yearly Christmas basket distribution and our back to school distributions God has given us the privilege of impacting our city in a great way.
Church of the Harvest has also began a French service in 2013 which has experienced incredible growth, numerous conversions and many signs and wonders, all demonstrating that God is still at work in today’s society.
God has also blessed Pastor Daniel and Church of the Harvest with a great leadership team which has been the source of strength and encouragement for our church. They are a group of dedicated and passionate individuals focused on seeing God fulfill His plan and purpose in our church and in our city.
All for the glory of God.
Pastor Daniel, Sandra, Joshua and Luca Di Paolo.
