Sunday Adelaja is the founder and pastor of the Embassy of God Charismatic church in Kiev, Ukraine. He immigrated to Ukraine from Nigeria and achieved prominence despite the characteristic prejudices faced by people from outside the former USSR area, and particularly blacks, in the former-USSR countries.

Embassy of God and Adelaja have faced lots of criticism from the local Eastern Orthodox Church authorities and from political groups hostile to the West.
