His ministry had a tremendous impact on Baptist congregations in Russia, Western Europe, and the Americas. Pavlov was well known among Christians in East and West as a missionary, a preacher, a theologian, a church historian, and a Christian journalist. Born in the Vorontsovka village near Tiflis, Caucasia, into the family of a Molokan-resettler (Molokans belong to a Protestant strand akin to Quakers), he joined a Baptist community in Tiflis at the age of sixteen: After one year of studies at J. G. Oncken's seminary in Hamburg, he became a missionary in the Caucasus and Russia and was severely persecuted by the official church and tzarist authorities for his vigorous gospel preaching. Repeatedly imprisoned, he was twice exiled to Orenburg where he was put under police surveillance. During his second exile, he lost his wife and three children"engCreative Commons Copyright (CC 2.5)baptist world allianceVasilii Gurevich PavlovBaptist movement in RusiaChristian denominationsBaptist, AdventistGlobal Church History and World ChristianityWorld ChristianityArticle
