As summer is approaching, so are all the camps and activities in Bryansk, Russia.  At the popular Christian operated

History Makers Camp at the Christian campground "Yolochka"

campground, Yolochka, 25 miles outside the city of Bryansk, God will be shaping many lives. History Makers Church, the church founded to reach the young people of Bryansk, was initially launched by using  a summer church camp in June 2008.  A ministry team from Dallas, Texas, “Glowing Heart,” came to help and host at this camp event… and a church was born. This year will be the fourth year for History Makers to to a Youth Camp, and they will be leading this for the first time on their own.

Leadership / Discipleship History Maker Camp. For two days a leadership core of about 20 young people will be living at Yolochka Campground for a leadership camp event. This will be to plan and prepare for the camp week.

History Makers Church Summer Camp

History Maker Evangelism Camp. For four days the History Maker Church will be inviting as many as 100 of their friends for a total outreach camp experience. All four days will be at Camp Yolochka. They will be doing sports, music, and a total package of events geared for young adults and older teenagers, which is the complete make up of this young church.

  experience. This is a critical week, and many lives could be changed eternally.

• Pray for these two back to back camp experiences. Pray that God would bless these events.

Help with Sponsorship:

• This young church is able to pay for 40% of the cost of the event, but could use some help financially with the rest.  The cost is $15 per day per person.  Our goal is to help with about $4300 of the $6300 it will cost for these two camps. You could help with this. Contact or write the offices of LifeWay Church for how to participate…

  History Makers Church Summer Camp

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.
