The native Nigerian pastors Europe's largest church, God's Embassy in Kiev, Ukraine, which has seen a million-plus people saved since it began meeting in 1993. In 10 years, God's Embassy grew from seven people to 25,000 members who meet in 40 locations across Kiev, all while the country was engulfed in political turmoil.
During a recent Ministry Today-hosted teleconference, hundreds of pastors had the chance to query Adelaja on topics ranging from church growth to global revival. Visit ministrytodaymag.com/sunday to hear the teleconference and to find out about future events like this.

The Great Debate
Speaking in tongues has long been debated between those who believe it ceased in the days of the apostles and those who believe it should still be evident in the modern church. But now another dispute over glossolalia is quietly playing out in the Pentecostal-charismatic world: Is tongues the initial evidence of receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit?
Listen to two Pentecostal-charismatic scholars argue both sides of this emerging issue at ministrytodaymag.com/tongues.
ONLINE EXCLUSIVE
Porn Again
More than half the men in your church struggle with pornography. Fifty-seven percent of pastors say porn addiction is the most sexually damaging issue to their congregation. And just as disheartening: Most polls indicate that the majority of pastors have viewed Internet pornography in the past year. With statistics like these, how can pastors practically safeguard both themselves and their congregations?
That's one of the questions former pastor Richard Maring took to heart after his 8-year-old niece encountered hard-core porn while surfing the Web at home one day. Fed up with ineffective online filters, Maring took matters into his own hands, founded Tribinium Corp. and developed a new technology to safeguard Internet users from porn.
Visit ministrytodaymag.com/seenoevil to hear Ministry Today's exclusive interview with Maring and to find out how his revolutionary new tool, SeeNoEvil, can protect you, your family and your congregants from unwanted exposure to online pornography.
