Soccer Camp 2021 Thursday Session

Although soccer camp is nearing its end, there were many things that the campers had to look forward to on Thursday.

The campers again began their day with breakfast and quiet time before attending morning services at the chapel. They enthusiastically sang Prince of Peace, Blessed Be Your Name, Our God, and Open The Eyes of My Heart while being live-streamed on Facebook and Instagram. 

Rob Sullivan again provided them with a message related to King Josiah. The overall theme was to establish godly traditions (make habits of those things that further or improve your walk with the Lord). 

Rob recommended to find a local assembly (church) and start to go there, read God's word everyday, make a point of attending the Lord's Supper, and recognize that your relationship with God is exactly that - a relationship (you talk to Him and He talks to you).

At 10:30am, the campers went to the soccer fields for their skills training. The skill of the day was shooting.

Afterwards, the campers continued from there with their typical routine of lunch, rest, and time at the trading post before returning for more soccer. Their Dutch Futbol sessions were held on the basketball court and up the field from the courts.

Free time began at 3:30pm where the campers again had opportunities to participate in different activities.

After free time, the campers enjoyed Philly Cheesesteaks for dinner and then some time spent at the trading post.

At 6:30pm, the campers met at the amphitheater where they were assigned their teams for the two-day international matches that were being held. They then went onto the soccer fields for those matches.

After the soccer matches, the campers went back up to the chapel for the camp's Pinewood Derby. The event brought much excitement from the campers.

The derby was followed by the annual sing-a-along which was also live-streamed on Facebook and Instagram. The campers started with Prince of Peace, Lighthouse, and How Great Thou Art. A couple of campers then performed a rap based upon the Josiah walkthru that Rob has taught throughout the week.

The sing-a-along continued with Our God, Good God Almighty, and Lord I Lift Your Name On High, before William, a counselor, performed some instrumental music on a keyboard. The sing-a-long concluded with Truth be Told and I Have Decided To Follow Jesus.

In closing, Harry Neil stressed the importance of the final song's words and asked the staff and campers who have trusted in Jesus to stand up.

We are so happy to see the campers enjoy their time at Soccer Camp and build their soccer skills along the way. However, we would be even more thrilled to hear that each camper has genuinely decided to follow Jesus!
