Education
Pastor Bolaji is an alumnus of the University of Lagos, where he studied Accounting. His journey into ministry began during his undergraduate years, and on December 13, 2003, the Harvesters dream was born—a divine vision that started with a few individuals and has grown, under the undeniable hand of God, into one of the most sought-after places of worship in Lagos.
Career, Leadership & Philanthropy
Under his leadership, Harvesters International Christian Centre (HICC) has expanded its reach, operating four branches in Lagos (Gbagada, Ikeja, Anthony, Lekki) and one branch in Abuja. The church has become a hub for thousands of young people, drawing them into transformative services.
Pastor Bolaji is not just a preacher; he is a change-maker with a heart for philanthropy. The Harvesters Skill Acquisition Programme (HSAP), initiated by the church under his guidance, has trained over 10,000 individuals, empowering them with valuable skills and leading hundreds to become employers of labor.
Known affectionately as “Pastor B” by his congregants, he has a liberal approach to Christianity, creating a welcoming environment for the youth. His ministry reflects a generational pivot influenced by a direct impartation through God’s grace in the life of Pastor Sam Adeyemi, the Senior Pastor of the Daystar Christian Centre.
Beyond the pulpit, Pastor Bolaji is also the convener of Next Level Prayers, an online interdenominational prayer community with an average daily attendance of 50,000 individuals.
