Church Shift by Sunday Adelaja

In Kyiv, Ukraine, Pastor Sunday Adelaja is the Founder and Senior Pastor of The Embassy of the Glorious Kingdom of God for All Peoples Church. He is a Nigerian-born leader with a twenty-first-century apostolic gift. Pastor Sunday, who is in his mid-forties, has already proven to be one of the world's most effective communicators and church planters, and is widely considered as Europe's most successful pastor, with over 25,000 members and daughter and satellite churches in more than 50 nations. Members of the church come from various walks of life, ranging from former drug and alcohol abusers to politicians and wealthy. Its high proportion of white Europeans (99%) also implies that racial prejudice has reached its limit.

Pastor Sunday is known for being a particularly excellent teacher of God's Word, with a special gifting in the gifts of the Spirit, particularly the word of knowledge. Charisma Magazine, Ministries Today, and many other Christian publications have acknowledged Pastor Sunday's importance in the areas of church development, prayer, and evangelism. The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Washington Post, Reuters, Associated Press, CNN, BBC, as well as German, Dutch, and French national television, have all covered him extensively. He was dubbed A Man with a Mission by the Wall Street Journal for his efforts to save Kyiv.

Pastor Sunday's commitment for national transformation has compelled him to share the gospel as much as possible. Around 500 books have been written and published by him, with some of them being translated into English, German, Chinese, Arabic, and Dutch. There have also been thousands of sermons recorded. Pastor Sunday hosts Pastor's Seminars in the church every year.

He's also the primary speaker during the event. More than 1000 ministers learn how to be a pastor without crying and the keys to success at this period. Pastor Sunday also organizes a summer and winter fast every year in order to empower Ministers with the fire and power to change their cities and countries. Pastor Sunday's apostolic ministry has now spread well beyond Ukraine's borders, making him a sought-after lecturer and pastor in many countries across the world.

Pastor Sunday is blissfully married to Princess Abosede, with whom he has three children: Perez, Zoe, and Pearl.
