Shocked! I learned so much from Pastor Demola. I moved 3000 miles away in 2012, but I still have CD's messages of his powerful teachings from what I considered to be my church home of 14 years or so. What a blessing to have been taught by him. He touched so many and we are all richly blessed because he was our Pastor. Blessings Pastor Diane and to the family.

I know that heaven is rejoicing every morning since the addition of this anointed Pastor! Oh, pre pandemic how we would gather in the sanctuary and wait for his arrival! His love for baseball was an analogy for "His Home run hitting!" every time he preached and taught about the God he now knows on a first hand basis! Our loss is heaven's gain! Triumphant joy was his specialty!

Recently I’ve discovered David Demolas preaching on the Internet. He is the most profound teacher I’ve ever heard. I’m heartbroken to learn he has passed away. I will continue to search out his sermons...

Don't know why Pastor T Demola came to my thoughts today... but I am saddened To know that he has passed away. I started going to his church when I was very young, it was in the old building, my parents took me every Sunday to Sunday school and I loved it! Years passed, And Sunday school slowly turned into youth group/ Young adults. I remember having some Of the toughest times in my teenage years, I would go through the school week dreading it, but on the weekends (church service) or during youth group everything was instantly better. I looked forward to his messages, they would help me thru the week.. I was young, but all his messages were so powerful and you could feel it no matter what age you were ... Whether you were 8 or 108 the messages always hit home and tugged at your heart.. Though I don't live in the area anymore, I am proud to say that I was a member, that I grew up there in that church, and that I was baptized there... I am so thankful that we live in a time where we have his preaching this still available to us and that I can go back and listen to them. I know it's been almost a year of his passing, and I am just finding out, but I'm sure it's not any easier on the family-so I will be praying for you guys ! To the family ....Thank you for sharing your son,brother,husband,father,grandfather with the world and with me!

I am so grateful that we had that conversation in the gym shortly before you passed. We talked about a lot of things. Some funny, some sad, and some serious but profound and obviously timely. As the conversation wound down, you reminded me that I was with FFM - 38 years, my whole adult life. I am so glad that I got to thank you for everything. I was there for the beginning and the end. You were a man with a great big heart of gold and we all felt it. I am certain that you have many jewels in your crown as you bask in His presence for all eternity. For sure, many will follow you - because of you. Thank you....

Walked into this church a few years ago, not knowing what to expect. Never was the church go'er type, but you could feel the energy as soon as you walk into Faith Fellowship. I felt at peace, I felt at home, I felt all my worries drift away every Sunday morning. I was broken in more ways than one. This church, the music, the word of God, it helped me so much. Thank you Pastor for giving your all every time you spoke. Thank you for unknowingly healing me. Rest in Paradise. I will keep you in my heart.

Pastor david demola I just learned you died today. I knew sth was wrong when I went to church today. I have been sick and had not visited your church for a while. I can't remember when was the last time I was at your church. I am sorry! You were like my pastor even though I don't go to your church regularly. You spoke faith to me. You have me two prophecies. You said God had healed me from lupus when I was first diagnosed. You were the first to pray for me. You introduced me to a lady whom God healed lupus. Another prophecy was when one day out of blue you said, God wants me to tell someone here who had abortion but blaming herself. God says He is sorry that this happened and He has forgiven you. My roommate and I looked at each other. We did not say anything. I felt like it was for me and she felt like it was for her. It was at the end of service. We went home afterwards. I remember after pastor said, he acted like he was choked up. I was shocked that he would give a personal message like that. I also experienced miracles at the church. Pastor demola I thought you would live to 100. You always acted so strong. We leaned on your mighty faith knowing that you will always be there for us. You always prayed for us at every service and always blessed us with words of faith. You said to the weary souls the best is yet to come. You don't know me but when I was sick I listened to your healing tape and pastor Diane's healing tape. You blessed me through these tapes. I am going to miss you so much. You are always there at each service, I miss you already so much. I know this love from you is from the unrelenting love of Jesus. Plus the church is so magnificent and clean. Worship is amazing. I can't remember how many times I cried in the services. Today I felt like heaven was harmonizing with is. It is you in heaven watching over us. I cried and cried but I had an uneasy feeling not knowing what happened to pastor demola. Why is he not here? Why people are not talking him? I was afraid of the worst. Now I know the Lord took you. I was devastated. I know you don't know me but I have to write this. I will pray for Diane your beautiful wife. Thank you pastor david demola. Rest in peace.

I will forever be grateful to God for allowing me to occasionally visit Pastor Demola's church. I was a member of another church, and was invited to an evening Thurs. service at Faith Fellowship. I had an awful headache when I arrived. When Pastor Demola began to pray I went up for prayer. A prayer line with prayer warriors were standing on both sides. As I walked through the line, Pastor Demola stepped in front of me, and placed his hand on my head, and I felled under the anointing. When I went back to my seat, the headache was going away. When I left it was completely gone. Blessings to his family and church family.

I want to offer my sincere condolences to Mrs. Demola and the Faith Fellowship family.I remember being invited to Faith Fellowship when they were on Oak tree Road in Edison. I was an unsaved college student at the time. I attended church one Sunday after a weekend of partying and consuming a lot of alcohol. I remember how Pastor Demola and the saints treated with such godly love. I kept attending every Sunday while he sowed the word into my heart. It took a long time but I eventually gave my life to the Lord and I've been serving the Lord for 26 years now. I thank God for Pastor Demola and his ministry.

I still cant believe that Pr Demola went to be with the Lord. This man of God had a big heart for the nations of the world. I got a chance of studying in the Faith Fellowship Bible school and am a better Pastor now than before. God bless FITS and FFM. Those faith and grace messages inspired me every Sunday I sat under Dr Demola.
You shall always be missed, Man of God

Pastor Dave was a champion of the faith, and he was a strong covering over the congregation. I remember many times when he spoke a word, and it felt like he was speaking directly into my life. I also remember seeing him in dreams and waking up knowing my pastor really covers his church. I'm sure many others have had the same experience with him. He fulfilled the mission God gave to him, and he did it with excellence, fervor and love. Pastor David T. Demola has run his race well, and I know that he has heard, "Well done, my good and faithful servant" on Feb. 27th.

I was shocked to hear the good news that Pastor Demola has gone home to be with the Lord. He was a wonderful teacher of the Gospel. I use to come to his church when he was in Edison New Jersey during the times Pastor Benny Hinn was coming to preach there. What a wonderful time we had. Our prayers are with the family.

So sad to hear that David Demola passed away. We knew David Demola from when he was a teen. The family attended Pine Grove Camp, in Malaga, NJ. I believe he received God's calling in one of the youth camp services....in 1959 or so. Haven't seen him for many years. Always happy to see that God was using him in a wonderful way (good preacher) and my Dad was always so happy to see him on TV. Nick grew up in the Bronx so he knew him well back then.......God's comfort and peace to his wife Diane and children and the church family

I attended Faith Fellowship during 1995-2002. Pastor and his wife, and staff were so kind and loving. I grew so much during those years. It was a blessing to have attended this church with my daughters and granddaughter (who attended nursery there also). I rejoice over all he gained as he entered heaven. May his family find comfort in the memories they shared.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Greetings, 1st Lady Demola and family, in the name of Jesus.
I have a testimony!
Back in the early 1980s my friend and I went to Faith Fellowship when it started in Iselin in a school .
One Sunday service, in which after it I was going to admit myself for surgery at a hospital in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
Pastor Demola called out to the congregation and said that someone needed a healing. He went on to say this about three times, and where it was located. He went on to say that this cyst or lump was in the lower part of the back near the back side.
I looked at my friend she looked at me, I got up went down to the front and he prayed over me, and I received the healing and blessing of the Lord.
I went to the ladies room, and started crying and shouting because the pilonidal cyst that was at least two fingers deep had came to the surface of my skin and the oil of it started coming out.
I was healed, thanks you LORD!
Before admission I called my doctor and he told me to come to the office. So I left the hospital went to the doctor's office and the dr. said, MY GOD, I don't have to do what I planned on doing to you!
TALK about praising the LORD!
I always talk about this testimony over the years and I thank God for pastor Demola being obedient.
God is so good we have to keep the faith, and stand on his word.

Before I came to Faith Fellowship, I was roaming between churches trying to find the right message for me. I saw God
as untouchable and Jesus had forgotten about me. I was invited to FFM when it was in Edison and I thought it would be like the other churches I had been to and I had no intentions of going but once. I went and heard Pastor Dave preach God's Word and never left. Teacher FFM Kidz.

Pastor Dave, I'll never forget you! You were a blessing in my young Christian life. When I was first born again, the scales of "religion" tried to invade my new found life in Christ. But when I was lead to FFM those scales were blown write off by the renewing of my mind and getting involved in all that God had for me there. I am forever grateful, as I'm sure many others can say the same thing. Thank you!

I am saddened by the passing of Pastor Dave he's been my pastor for more than 25 years, so it's not easy for me to let go. However, I've been taught well by him over the years so I know that although he is absent from the body and from us physically, he is home with our Lord Jesus Christ. May our Lord Jesus Christ comfort Pastor Diane and the Demola family, as well as my FFMWOC church family during this time.

I was shocked and surprised to hear that Pastor David passed from death to life this past week. I haven't been to his church in years but I used to attend the International Pastor's Conferences years ago.
I have been and will be keeping his loved ones in my prayers. He and Billy Graham are probably hanging out together and fellow shipping with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. How exciting is that?

I thank God for Pastor Demola's life and ministry. He opened the word of God to me as a new believer unlike any other. I introduced his ministry to my family and I was happy to see my mother before she passed accept Christ and attend services.

My condolences to the entire extended Demola Family on the occasion of your temporary separation from Pastor Dave. I know that this is a difficult time for everyone and I hope it won't be long before the sadness you now feel passes and is replaced by memories of all the happy times you and Pastor Dave shared. May the Lord continue to bless you all.

I was blessed by Pastor Dave from the very first time I visited in March, 2014. It didn't take long to know that I had found my church home. It was Pastor Dave who was the first I heard preach the Gospel of Grace and it changed my life. His dedication to saving souls and teaching are second to none. I was amazed at the many aspects to the church and the many ways one could learn about the word of God. I sat behind him every Sunday and will miss seeing him walk out of his office, down the steps, greet people, and take his seat next to the Mantilla's. I praise God for his life and the thousands upon thousands of lives he has changed! What a mighty man of God whose presence I was always blessed to be in. I pray that the family feels the loving arms of Jesus during this time of mourning. May God bless you and keep you.

Pastor Dave was my pastor since I was 12 years old. I already miss him. My late father, Albert Hoff Jr. brought me to this church with him. My first mission's trip was with Sozo mission's under his leadership. I have never heard preaching like his. And as an adult, he helped me get out of a toxic relationship. He always taught us who we were in Christ. I want to give my condolences to his lovely wife Diane, his children, and all those that are grieving this loss. Thank you Pastor Dave for sacrificing so much to change the world.Love, Sarah Hoff

In 1999 Pastor Dave requested ladies and men volunteers to prepare the floor for pouring the concrete floor of our new building the following Monday.
We had a large turnout but we were instructed not to begin our assignments until he arrived to pray with us.
He was late in arriving which was unusual.
I walked out in the front of the parking lot and there he was helping an elderly woman whose vehicle has broken down.
That was the Pastor we loved, respected, and honor. Serving God and his community one soul at a time.
Twenty years later I still remember him waiting with her until the tow truck arrived.

To the family of Pastor David T Demola, that God comfort and strengthen you each day during your time of grief. Philippians 4:13. I have listened to the teachings of Pastor David T Demola and been to the Church building their some years ago in Sayreville, NJ. I was looking at one of his sermons a few weeks ago. You can tell as he was teaching he was excited about the word of God. I didn't know him personally but I knew of his teachings and had looked at some of his sermons. I knew he was a man of God and had a zeal for God. May God continuously bless his family in continuing the work of the Lord and supplying whatever they are in need of. Sister Violet L. Williams

God is so amazing! I thank God that I had the privilege and "anointed blessing" to hear and receive the word of God through via His anointed son, Pastor Demola.
Pastor Dianne and family, I pray within the next days of your grieving, that you sincerely know how many people have been saved because of Pastor Demola!
When I have experienced personal loss, like everyone has who had the chance to know Pastor Demola, you start to listen more carefully to the "word of God!"
Pastor now sits, where he wants us all to be at the end of this earthly journey.
Pastor Demola is now in the seat of privilege! Well done sir, may God bless us all, with fervent love to his wife, children, grandchildren! Love, Yvette Harris
