OUR STORY
History Makers is a youth organisation that brings together people of different denominations, nationalities and life experiences. The movement began with a small prayer camp and grew into conferences, summer camps, worship nights and team training. Christ, His Church, Christian unity and the calling of young people to serve remain at the centre of our work.

United in Christ. Open to people.
History Makers brings together young people from different denominations, nationalities and walks of life. Our work is rooted in Christian values. We want to strengthen love for Christ and His Church, build unity among Christians and help young people use their gifts in service.
2006–2010
The first prayer camp took place in November 2006. The name was inspired by the Delirious? song History Maker. In spring 2010, History Makers organised its first Worship School, where young people learned about worship and using their gifts for the Kingdom of God.
2011–2014
The UNITED summer camp began in 2011. The first camp gathered 300 young people from Latvia and other countries. EVENING worship events also started in Riga, Kuldīga, Liepāja and later other cities. The 2012 MADE TO GO camp gathered 500 young people. In 2013, the winter camp became an annual History Makers conference, and the movement organised its first event in Kaunas.
2015–2019
Training for volunteers, filmmakers, worship teams and church ministry expanded during these years. Christmas concerts, mission projects and events reached new Latvian cities. UNITED 2018 ESTABLISHED in Cinevilla gathered more than 200 young people and 100 volunteers. MESSENGERS, KING OF GLORY, AWAKENING BALTICS, UNFADING BEAUTY and UNITED 2019 ULTIMATE REALITY followed.
2020–2024
The History Makers CHAMPION conference took place on 24 and 25 January 2020. From 2022 to 2024, Worship Nights in Riga and Liepāja became an important part of the movement. These evenings created space for prayer, worship and Christian unity.
2025–2026
In 2025, History Makers held the RISE UP conference and the UNITED STAND FIRM summer camp. A History Makers conference followed in January 2026, with UNITED camp from 19 to 22 August. The year also marks the organisation’s twentieth anniversary.
More than a conference. A movement.
