Early life, family and ministry
David DeMola is the son of the Italian-Pentecostal evangelist Rev. Joseph De Mola of Staten Island. The younger DeMola began his ministry as a teenager working with David Wilkerson's Teen Challenge in Brooklyn. While working in Brooklyn he shared the message of Jesus Christ with gang members, the homeless and other street people. Following his work there, he ministered extensively as a young evangelist throughout Europe, the Caribbean, South America, and the United States for eleven years. David DeMola is a former member of the Christian Church of North America (CCNA)[], an organization originally formed under the guidance and direction of the Italian-Pentecostal pioneers Louis Francescon (1866-1964) and Francesco Emma (1875-1948).

Pastor DeMola is the author of the books Dominion and Authority To Rule and Reign, and Meditations of a Shepherd.
Education and personal life
Pastor DeMola did his undergraduate work at Valley Forge Christian College (formerly Northeast Bible College) and has earned a doctorate in theology from Golden State University.
Pastor DeMola's wife, Diane B. DeMola, has served as the Executive Secretary and Treasurer of Faith Fellowship Ministries World Outreach Center since its inception and in the role of Administrator since they co-founded it in 1993.
Criticism
David DeMola's teachings fall under the Word of Faith or prosperity theology movement. This theology has been criticized by conservative theologians of almost every stripe among academia for its lack of exegesis and the consequential ethics of its adherents by way of attitude (i.e. greed, idolatry, covetousness rather than contentment, generosity and stewardship) and actions (lying rather than truth telling about one's own health and finances).
