Embassy of God

Embassy of God is a Charismatic Protestant church and parachurch organization in Kiev, Ukraine. It was founded and is led by pastor Sunday Adelaja, who is an immigrant from Nigeria.

The church faces opposition from local Eastern Orthodox and Catholic churches, authorities, and political groups opposed to Westernization of Ukraine.

The church claims to have 25,000 members in Kiev and many more elsewhere in Ukraine. Furthermore, it has more than 600 daughter churches in over 45 countries. [ " [http://www.godembassy.org/en/embassy.php Facts and Statistics Embassy of God] ". Retrieved on June 18, 2008.]
