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.

• 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…

Bonfire at Yolochka Summer Camp

God” music that we had sung all week, and these kids with a joyful noise and at the top of their lungs were belting them on their way to join the bonfire. It was here, and only here, that I realized that these children felt truly free to sing songs like this. Most had no school friends that were believers. Many of them did not come from homes of believers. They lived in neighborhoods where there were very few believers. Even those who attended churches, they were small with very few other children attending. Where could they go sing with this freedom? It was here, at Camp Yolochka. I was glad to be part of it and witness such wonderful joy that overflowed from their hearts. There is great life changing power in the summer camp experience.
