When John Paledino graduated from college in his early twenties, he had an incident that forever changed his life.  Because of his temper, he punched a plate glass storm door and severed his median nerve in the left wrist.  Knowing he was seriously hurt, John cried out to the Lord Jesus Christ.  He was scared and thought about death and where he would go if he were to die.  The Lord radically transformed his life and he now understands what it is like to have your back up against the wall of life.

John Paledino is currently an ordained minister through Family Harvest Church, Tinley Park, Illinois.  He has been a pastor for over 14 years, starting as an associate and now as the senior pastor of Harvest Church of Tampa.  With a Bachelor's Degree in Administration of Justice from Southern Illinois University and a Master's Degree in Theology from International College of Excellence, John is well trained to help others find their purpose and call before God.  

Pastor John Paledino teaches about the Kingdom of God with passion from a sincere desire to see God's Kingdom established in each believer's life.  He consistently teaches Biblical principles by example and precept, helping catapult them into a victorious life of faith in the Word of God.  His down to earth approach opens doors to minister to people from all walks of life.

John is happily married to Marissa and they have two children.
