Wednesday has come and gone at Soccer Camp, and we are now more than halfway through our week! Wednesday's schedule was similar to the last couple of days, but with a few twists.
All cabins reported to the flagpole for the daily flag raising, pledge of allegiance, and morning prayer before a breakfast of sausage and pancakes.
After breakfast and some quiet time, the campers gathered in the chapel for the morning service. The worship portion was livestreamed on our Facebook and Instagram accounts again. The songs which the campers sung were: Blessed Be Your Name, Our God, Goodness of God, Open the Eyes of My Heart, and How Great Thou Art.
Following the worship was another message by our speaker Joe Wilbur. Joe read John 5:1-14 and spoke about the man which the Lord Jesus healed at the pool of Bethesda.
Joe emphasized how love is not merely a feeling, but a choice. The Lord chose to love us. His love for us was so strong that the Lord Jesus died for us. Christ died for the Church and gave Himself up for it.
Once the morning chapel service concluded, the campers got their soccer cleats and pads and made their way down to the soccer fields for the skill of the day: shooting.
The skill training ended a little earlier for camp-wide gaga ball and 9-square tournaments.
The campers then spent the next two hours eating lunch and getting some rest.
After some nourishment and rest, it was back to the soccer fields for Dutch Futbol.
Once Dutch Futbol wrapped up, the campers enjoyed their two-and-a-half hours of free time.
For dinner, the campers had a hearty meal of pulled pork, rice and beans, and plantains.
Following dinner, the campers participated in the first-ever Soccer Camp kickball tournament. All cabins and staff were split into 10 teams, two of which played each other for a couple of games.
Following the kickball tournament, the campers brought their energy from down at the soccer fields to up at the chapel and showed that in their singing of My Lighthouse, Good God Almighty, This is Amazing Grace, Promises, and I Give You My Heart.
Joe Wilbur closed out tonight with a message on the feeding of the 5,000 from John 6.
God chose to love us and send us His Son. The Lord Jesus loved us so much that He gave Himself up for us on the cross. The Lord Jesus will never fail us. If we put our trust in Jesus, we will never be lost. We continue to pray that each camper understands this and makes that personal decision for themselves.
