Charisma´s Top 12 Newsmakers of 2007 By J. Lee Grady
It was a year of courage, tragedy, religious scandal and political surprises. Here are 12 people who brought Christian faith into the headlines.
At the end of every year I slow down, step back and page through the last year´s issues of Charisma to discern how God has been working in our world. I enjoy identifying the Christians, some famous and some unknown, who were behind the headlines. I think the people below deserve some special recognition:
Nigerian preacher Sunday Adelaja Featured on Charisma´s cover in October, Adelaja represents the new face of missions in the 21st century. He´s not from a Western country (he´s a native of Nigeria) and he did not depend on American money or education to build the largest church in Europe. As founder of the 25,000-member The Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for all Nations in Kiev, Ukraine, Adelaja wants to plant hundreds of churches in Western Europe and the United States. Not afraid to take his faith to the public square, Adelaja has trained his congregation to influence politics - and the result has been a national swing from communism to pro-Western democracy.
Other Newsmakers for 2007: 1. Chinese bookstore owner Shi Weihan. 2. Necati Aydin, Ugur Yuksel and Tilmann Geske, martyrs in Turkey. 3. Businessman and philanthropist Mart Green. 4.
