MESSAGE
Phil Walker was the main speaker on Friday.
Phil mentioned that his passion is to get into God’s word. He spent time during his message reviewing various verses from during the week such as Psalm 42:5, Luke 7:46-48, Isaiah 40:31, Hebrews 11:1, Titus 2:11-14, Philippians 4:6-7 and Romans 12:1-2.
Phil challenged the campers to make the verse memorization throughout the week not merely a camp activity, but foundational truths that they could build upon in their lives.
Phil also shared the impact that Galatians 2:20 had on him in his life. Phil was a 23-year-old camp counselor at Iroquoina when he encountered this verse in a different way. He realized that this verse did not apply to him at the time. He knew he was not truly crucified with the Lord Jesus Christ. He did not live by faith in Jesus. He felt that he was shown his own hypocrisy through this verse. However, he wanted that to change. He wanted the verse to apply to him. He called on the Lord and truly surrendered his life to Christ. He said God’s message to him after becoming saved was: “This is MY word, get to know ME!!”
Phil asked the campers “Who is Jesus to you” and if the campers had personally made the decision to trust in Him.

SOCCER TACTICS AND SKILL TRAINING
John Jones concluded the week of soccer tactics and skill training with a weekly review. In addition to wrapping everything up, he highlighted how the Lord is most important above all else. God has given us the ability to do all the things which we do in day-to-day life and all glory goes unto Him!
CRAFTS
The craft for Friday was the same as Thursday, which was a personalized water bottle. The difference about Friday's craft was that this water bottle would be made for a friend or family member as a way to share the love of the Lord Jesus Christ with him/her. Campers would obtain their own water bottle and fill out the Google form on the soccer camp craft website to receive a customized vinyl cutout that they would then place on their water bottle.
VERSE OF THE DAY
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
CLOSING CEREMONY
The closing ceremony began with Ben, Carrie and Genesis singing Hallelujah What A Savior! (Broken Hallelujah) and Prince of Peace.
The ceremony continued with a game of Nearpod trivia game led by Kristin Van Lenten.
Jeremy Good followed by leading the camp in singing Open the Eyes of My Heart.
After Jeremy’s song, Ezequiel Montes continued the program with a devotional based on Psalm 27. King David went through many trials and tribulations at different points throughout his life, but spoke in this psalm about not fearing, but rather praising the Lord because He is on his side. Ezequiel shared a personal account about a car accident he and his daughter Emely had experienced a few weeks prior, and despite a lot of damage, he too praised the Lord for sparing their lives.
After Ezequiel’s devotional, people began surprising Harry Neil by wishing him a happy early birthday through the chat box.
After the surprise, Hazel Montes shared a slideshow of highlighted screenshots from the week.
Harry followed by highlighting some campers’ accomplishments from throughout the week and rewarding them for the accomplishments. Everyone followed by singing Happy Birthday to Harry.
A video was then played of Terrill Road Bible Chapel performing Living Hope.
Harry closed the program with some words of thanks to all who made Iroquoina's Virtual Soccer Camp 2020 a reality!
