Time Magazine “Mind & Body Special Issue” includes The Embassy of God in their article that reviews the healing beliefs of religions around the world.


The February 23rd, 2009 “Mind & Body Special Issue” of Time Magazine includes a photograph of a few Embassy of God church members, as well as the leader of the Healing ministry, Elena Nemekina, laying hands on an ailed woman.

An excerpt from the article reads: “Founded 12 years ago by the Nigerian Pastor Sunday Adelaja, the Embassy of God followers receive the Holy Spirit which allows them to speak in tongues and heal with their hands. One such woman cures an ill church member.”

The editorial on pages 80 to 83 of the article, “How the world heals”, by Bryan Walsh, takes a look at the healing methods and beliefs of different religions of the world, including: “Koran reading” of the Muslims, the “Holy Rock” of Shna Ndo followers in Albania, Shamanic rituals in Siberia, “Holy Dirt” in Santa Fe, the Santeria ceremony in Havana, Melasti cleansing of the Hindus, the Velacion “Candle Ceremony” in Venezuela, and the “Holy Water” of the Catholics.

In this article, the Embassy of God church was privileged to be listed as the only example of the Christian-Protestant denomination that uses the power of the Holy Spirit to heal.

The Embassy of God conducts healing services every Saturday afternoon in their Central church venue where hundreds may gather to worship Jesus Christ and seek His healing for their illnesses. People also receive their Divine Healing at night vigils held every night of the week, especially on Fridays when 200 to 300 people come together.

Healings are not only limited to services however, but congregants also pray for the sick in their homes, on the streets, in their work places, schools and wherever they go.

Pastor Sunday, during his sermons will periodically pause to release a “word of knowledge” that someone in the audience is being healed of a bodily distress.
He says that he feels the pain first in his own body (or sees where the pain is) and then understands that the Holy Spirit is healing someone of this problem in the congregation.

It’s interesting to see that even secular magazines, like Time, will notice the power of God in the Embassy of God church and feature the church in one of their editions.

One of the largest and fastest growing churches in Europe, with over 25, 000 members and 700 daughter congregations in over 45 countries of the world, The Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for all Nations church was founded by a Nigerian immigrant and former student of the Soviet Union, Sunday Adelaja.

BBC profiled Pastor Sunday and Wall Street Journal called him “A Man with a Mission”. Pastor Sunday has also had the privilege of opening the US Senate, prayed at the Israeli Parliament, and is an active participant of the Clinton Global Initiative.

We hope this article has been informative and will inspire you to greater heights for the Kingdom of God.


May God bless and keep you as you continue in His ways!

Much love,
The Administration of the Embassy of God church
Kiev, Ukraine
