Simeon was born 34 years ago in the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan. When
Simeon was born, his mother was diagnosed with a severe form of TB. Simeon’s parents
were not believers at the time, although his dad had been raised by a Christian mother.
But the Lord had mercy on them even at the time of their unbelief – Simeon’s mother
got completely healed from TB! Back in the late 80’s Simeon’s dad decided to move
from Kazakhstan. He did not want to go to his Christian mother who was living in
Komi (Northern Russia) at that time. But the only train ticket he could get was a
ticket to Komi! He came to Komi and received Jesus at his mom’s Bible study!!! Later
he took all his family to Komi and his wife and 2 boys started attending the local
Baptist church. The first time Simeon asked the Lord to come into his heart was at
a Christian youth camp in the early 90’s. The camp, by the way, was run by American
Christians. We thank God for MISSIONARIES!!! The seeds of God’s Word DO PRODUCE FRUIT!!!
Simeon attended church, then served in the Russian Army, and later started working
for Christian ministries when in 2001 he found himself on a hospital bed. He had
been helping a Christian brother in the Russian city of Kotlas. While starting a
