The rain that began on Monday greeted the campers to start off Tuesday, but we are thankful that it subsided early, and a beautiful afternoon and evening was enjoyed at Camp Iroquoina!
With the rain still coming down in the morning, the campers went straight from their cabins to the dining hall for breakfast. Breakfast consisted of waffles, bacon, sausage, and cereal. Following breakfast, the campers had some quiet time.
The morning chapel service included a couple of testimonies in addition to our time of worship and a message from God's word. Everyone sung Multiplied, Graves into Gardens, My Lighthouse, King of My Heart, and Song of My Father.
In between the songs, two of the counselors, Brea and Cyrus, provided testimonies on how the Lord saved them and the work He is doing in their lives.
Joe Wilbur continued his theme of faith coming by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Joe spoke on 1 Chronicles 13 and how the children of Israel, King David, and Uzza did not follow the Lord's instructions and Uzza experienced judgement, while Obed Edom honored the Lord and was blessed for it. Instead of leaning on our own understanding to determine how to please the Lord, may our desire be to seek out what pleases the Lord as laid out in His Scripture.
Skill time came after the morning chapel service, with the skill of the day being passing.
The campers enjoyed some ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch and then had some rest time before more soccer. Unlike yesterday, the campers' time of Dutch Futbol was unaffected by the rain.
Free time began at 3:30pm and the campers had their choice of a range of activities including swimming, fishing, canoeing, pickleball, and more!

Tuesdays at Soccer Camp typically involves a cookout followed by extended soccer, and that's exactly what we did this Tuesday as well. We are thankful for the kitchen staff who have already worked so hard this week keeping a record number of campers, counselors, and staff well fed.
The time of extended soccer lasted until after the sun set.
Tuesday was a tiring day for the campers, especially following an abbreviated Sunday and a rainy Monday. As the campers wound down in their cabins, their counselors had a chance to share devotionals and discuss the Lord with them. One of the counselors shared during the program staff meeting how on Monday his campers had almost an hour's worth of questions about spiritual topics, some of which were very deep and mature. What was most encouraging was how they were one of the youngest cabins at camp! We ask that you spend time praying for the counselors as they present the Gospel clearly and accurately to their campers and that the campers would seek the Lord and accept Him as their personal Savior!
