WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING RECAP
After Wednesday’s main session in the morning, two more brief sessions were held at 12:30 p.m. and at 6 p.m. The first session started with a Nearpod trivia game led by Hazel Montes. Afterwards everyone was split up into breakout rooms to spend time with each other virtually. The session in the evening consisted of a hangout time together as one group, led by Harry Neil.
MUSIC
Jeremy Good led the singing with This Is Amazing Grace and an original song of his based upon Romans 12:1-2.

MESSAGE
Diego Mendieta was the main speaker again on Thursday. He continued with the topic of hope, which was a core topic in his previous two messages. He opened with 1 Peter 1:3 which reads, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead," and elaborated upon the use of "hope" within the verse. The Greek term for “hope” in 1 Peter 1:3 means “an eager, confident expectation.” The hope of the believer is not only “living” but “lively.”
Diego discussed the woman at the well as recorded in John 4. The Lord Jesus Christ gave her the hope of the living water and revealed Himself as the long-awaited Messiah to her.
Diego also discussed the sinful woman from Luke 7 who humbly came to Jesus and washed His feet and poured an alabaster jar of perfume on His feet. He forgave her of her sins and told her to go in peace as her faith had made her well. Diego ended his message with Romans 15:13 which reads, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

SOCCER TACTICS AND SKILL TRAINING
John Jones explained the drill of the day which combined different soccer techniques, skills and tactics. The group of players who demonstrated the drill formed a large circle and one player was in the middle of the circle. The players forming the circle had to keep passing to one another using any tactic they wanted to use. The goal of the player in the middle was to knock the ball out of the circle so they could join in place of who they knocked it out of the circle against. After the combo drill, the players started a game of wall ball.
CRAFTS
Hazel Montes discussed the craft for Thursday which was a personalized water bottle. The directions for the craft instructed each camper to use or buy their own water bottle. They would then fill out the Google form listed on the soccer camp craft website to request a customized vinyl cutout. Once filled out, they would later receive the cutout in the mail. All they would have to do when received is firmly place the decal on their bottle and remove the transfer paper.
VERSE OF THE DAY
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
Titus 2:11-14
ANNUAL SING-A-LONG
The annual sing-a-long began with Jeremy Good leading everybody in singing God Is For Us. Ben and Carrie Brown and Genesis continued with Prince of Peace.
A skit conducted by the McShain family was shown, which portrayed a deaf man getting his hearing back from Jesus. That was followed by a couple more songs by Jeremy: How Deep The Father's Love and 10,000 Reasons.
Hazel continued by sharing her personal testimony of how she became saved by the grace of God through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ben, Carrie and Genesis continued with Counting Every Blessing and My Lighthouse.
Chris Cates shared his personal testimony and how he became saved at Iroquoina's soccer camp. His son Isaac ended Chris' testimony video by playing piano.
A video of members from Terrill Road Bible Chapel singing Living Hope and How Great Thou Art was then played.
Ben, Carrie and Genesis continued with Hallelujah What A Savior! (Broken Hallelujah).
Ezequiel Montes then instructed campers to turn their cameras off and turn it back on during the playing of I Have Decided To Follow Jesus if they indeed had made the personal decision to follow Jesus.
Harry Neil ended the sing-a-long program with a few words and Will Neil closed in prayer.
