The term “secular” might have several definitions, in a changing world it becomes an appropriate term to describe the world that Christians serve in. I grew up in a world (the southern USA in the 60’s and 70’s) that certainly had plenty of people that were non-believers or at least non-committed to the life of a disciple of Jesus Christ. But the community as a whole was heavily affected and directed by many of the standards and values that were set out in Scripture. There was an basic understanding of the values that we find in Scripture. But to be “secular” means that those standards are totally non-existent. To be “secular” means that the church or the Bible is not even on people’s radar when it comes to life’s decisions and directions; these people have become “non-god-affected.”  In the book of

Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union, established a century ago what is a "secular" thinking culture in Russia today. History Makers Church and others reaches out to the secular minded of Bryansk

Jonah 4:11 the citizens of Nineveh are described in this way… those who don’t know their right hand from their left. This is what I am finding in the city of Bryansk… but interestingly enough, this is what I find in the city of Seattle. The challenge of our ministries both in Bryansk, Seattle, and many other parts of the world is that we are having to start and build churches and ministries that reach out to “secular” people.   The History Makers Church in Bryansk is striving to reach out to these secular people. At our camp this week, it appears that many will be here with this kind of secular background.  The leadership of History Makers is trying hard to design a program that helps these people who don’t know their “left hand from their right hand” as it says of the Ninevites.  Please pray for History Makers camp this week and the young people they try to reach.  Pray that even your church might take a hard look at itself to see if there is room to reach out to the “secular” that live in your city.
