OPEN LETTER

PASTORS WHO COME OUT FROM RELIGIOUS COMMUNITES "EMBASSY OF GOD" TO THE HEADS OF CHRISTIAN EVANGELICAL CHURHES IN UKRAINE
AND ALSO TO THE WHOLE INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY ABOUT ACTIVITIES OF SUNDAY ADELAJA

Dear bishops, pastors, ministers,
brothers and sisters in the name of Jesus Christ!

We are group of clergy - pastors who come out from the religious community "The Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for All Nations" (Hereinafter - "Embassy of God").

We appeal to the Ukrainian and international Christian community to show the truth about activities of the senior pastor and founder of the "Embassy of God" - Sunday Adelaja.

The first, we want to say that the first years of his ministry Sunday Adelaja was really faithful and consecrated minister of the gospel. For sixteen years of ministry "Embassy of God" (from 1994 to 2002 - The Church "Word of Faith") Sunday Adelaja and members of the church have made a huge contribution to the spiritual and educational, rehabilitation and social work in the Ukraine and many other countries. And today, many of the wonderful pastors and ministers in "Embassy of God" are continuing to serve for the spiritual revival in Ukraine.

However, with great pain, we want to note that in recent many actions of senior pastor "Embassy of God" Sunday Adelaja ceased to meet to the Holy Scriptures and laws of Ukraine, namely:
1. Sunday Adelaja really in his teachings and actions made the atmosphere in the church "Embassy of God", which helps to create financial structures - the pyramid (The "King's Capital", The Leone Bank, The "Grant", the structure created by Janna Kissel, etc.), as a result of their activity several thousand of people were affected, significant number of people are threatened loss of their own homes, also they are in a very difficult spiritual, moral, psychological and financial situations. We have several suicides among affected investors. Sunday Adelaja, when he had great credibility members of the "Embassy of God", repeatedly used the church to promote the “King's Capital”, gave personal guarantees for its reliability and integrity, has been personally called from the scene to the members of church to mortgage on their apartment and bring own money to the "King's Capital". Heaving actual information about the "King's Capital" (the company was already financially unable to pay interest on deposits) not warn people about it, and continued to advertise this company in the central ministry of the church. Today he officially states that: "... Not related either to create, or to work, or to management, or to finance the company ”King's Capital”, that is an outright lie. As a result, Sunday Adelaja accused of fraud in especially large amounts (part 4 of article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
2. Today Sunday Adelaja protects only own reputation, but not the interests of affected investors - members of the "Embassy of God" (opposite, the affected people were accused of the greed) which completely opposite pattern Biblical shepherd (Ezekiel 34:2-4, John 10:11-12, 1 Peter 5:2-3).
3. Sunday Adelaja has led to excessive politicization of the church "Embassy of God" and use members as a resource to support certain political groups. Thus, Sunday Adelaja in the church ministry and in the media appeals to some famous politicians, that they protect him, also he said that the criminal case against him will soon be closed, because he has agreement with the authorities of Ukraine.
4. Sunday Adelaja created a myth of political persecution against his person, uses the manipulation and distortion of information in the media to self-justification and raised his rating in the eyes of the international community.
5. As a head of the church Sunday Adelaja allowed to create a cult of his personality, uses methods of hard authoritarianism, manipulation and intimidation of the ministers who disagree with his policies. Apostolic and Spiritual Council the church "Embassy of God" have only formal character, because in most cases he (Sunday Adelaja) makes decisions himself personally, and suppresses all dissent.
6. Sunday Adelaja completely does not count with the opinion his co-celebrant and also ministers of other churches. Other clerics in Ukraine have repeatedly drawn the attention of Sunday about his mistakes (especially in teaching about finances), but it was ignored by him. As a result, in 29 December 2008 the heads of Christian Evangelical Churches of Ukraine was made an official statement. They strongly condemned the activities of Sunday Adelaja and called to the Christian world to reject him. The answer of the Spiritual council "Embassy of God" for this statement (posted on the site "Embassy of God") does not actually signed all those pastors whose names are on it.
7. Since beginning church "Embassy of God" and now pastor Sunday continue to collect donations for the build The Ukrainian spiritual and cultural center. To apply this method using spiritual and psychological pressure and coercion, also the churches and members encourage giving donations of large amounts to build this Center (sometimes even several hundred thousand dollars from one person). But in this day the building of the Centre has not start, members of the Apostolic and Spiritual Council "Embassy of God" have no information about amount of money and location of the collected funds for all these years, because financial management "Embassy of God" manage only Sunday Adelaja - alone.
This activity Sunday Adelaja discredited church "Embassy of God" and all evangelical community before Ukrainian authorities and local public. Today, many churches and individual ministers have already come out from the "Embassy of God", other deeply disappointed in this situation and they are in the way to came out from the "Embassy of God".
We, as pastors, not removing themselves from liability, deep regret and sincere repent for all that occurred in the "Embassy of God". We ask all brothers and sisters from the Christian churches of Ukraine and the whole world to pray for people affected by the activities of “King's Capital” and other financial institutions and also pray for the spiritual healing members of the" Embassy of God "and also pray for the worthy fruit of repentance by Sunday Adelaja.
