In 1986, shortly after experiencing a religious conversion, Sunday Adelaja left Nigeria for Belarus to study journalism, but soon learned that his studies were skewed toward turning him into a de facto ambassador for the atheist political agenda of the USSR if and when he returned back home. Refusing to be intimidated, Adelaja remained in Russia, steadfast in his faith, risking deportation and even imprisonment. During a period of fasting and prayer he felt the call to start a mega-church, but was dismayed to find his first converts were drug-addicted down-and-outers, not the affluent congregation he had envisioned. After moving to the Ukraine in 1994, he started the Embassy of God, which today consists of 20,000 members, sponsors 30 rehabilitation centers and orphanages, and provides legal assistance and medical aid. Gentle and sincere, Adelaja says “my life is a relationship with God,” and he urges people not to strive for success but to “encircle themselves with God.” While this is an inspiring profile of a truly committed Christian, the piece functions best as a tasteful public relations piece for the Embassy of God (which espouses some novel and rather simplistic views of rehabilitation), although it's also a good example of Christian outreach. A strong optional purchase for larger religious collections. Aud: P. (J. Reed)
