Today's skill will be a conglomeration of all the tactics and skills developed this week.

The highlight of today is the International Club Team Matches! 

Praise-All the homesick campers are cured! No one wants to go home ...now that the week is almost over!!

Be Faithful to a Faithful God

Terrific Tuesday!

Our day is jump started with a powerful message from the speaker, Rob Sullivan.
    Check out his web site called Follow the Facts at xtremeevidences.com

The four mains points of his lesson from the life of Josiah, 2 Chronicles 34

1. Understand the your Bible is real history.
2. Ultimately you are a steward of all that God has given you. 
3. Be faithful to a faithful God. 
4. Concern yourself with the things of the Lord and great things will happen to you.

Praise- The campers that were home-sick are feeling better! Keep praying hard!
Pray- For the Word of the Lord to stir in the hearts of the campers for them to run hard after HIM!

Marvelous Monday!

Go to Monday's page to check out details from today.


I have the song playing though my head from chapel today, Marvelous Light. Come, sing along with us!!

Into marvelous light I'm running,
Out of darkness, out of shame.
By the cross you are the truth,
You are the life, you are the way

I once was fatherless,
a stranger with no hope;
Your kindness wakened me,
Awakened me, from my sleep

Your love it beckons deeply,
a call to come and die.
By grace now I will come
And take this life, take your life.

Sin has lost it's power,
death has lost it's sting.
From the grave you've risen
VICTORIOUSLY!

Check out the new tent for the Chapel Barn!

 The Chapel Barn burnt down January 11, 2013! It is very sad to see it go! It has been redone over the years because I know it didn't look like this when I was a camper many years ago! This structure holds a special sentiment for many campers. Memories at the Chapel Barn range from Bible lessons, praise songs, drill videos, stories from Harry, personal testimonies and even commitments to Christ. Keep praying for what God has in store for a new chapel barn at camp!

Three P's

When thinking of camp this week, I thought of these three P's: Prayer, Preparations and Personnel. 

Prayer- all year long

• Pray for campers to come to know the Lord and to grow in their walk with Him.
• Pray for counselors and staff to put God first in their lives as they seek to serve Him daily.

Preparations-

• As many of you already know, in January, our Chapel barn burned down and we have decided to use a tent for this summer. The TENT is up!! Check out the pictures!
•  Saturday staff members and counselors will be gathering at camp to set up the fields and prepare the camp for it's personalized look of Soccer Camp!
• As it stands now we will have Cory Nolan leading the music on guitar, go Cory, on drums we will have Martin Sanneh (CIT) and John Jones, Rachel Barrett (CIT) will work with them with the music sheets and  projector in the tent (chapel) .
• We have new young man named Rob Sullivan who will be joining us as our Bible Teacher.
• Crafts are ordered and a donation has been made to cover most of the expenses. Praise the Lord! The main craft this year is personalized notebooks with Duck Tape, etc.

Personnel-

• The best part of Soccer Camp are the people who make it what it is! Every year God has continued to bless Harry Neil with dedicated and humble counselors and staff members. Many of the counselors have been attending camp since they were kids! I'd love to be able to dig up some of those pictures!
