TS Malaysia Infects Teens for Jesus

Mantin, Malaysia,December 14, 2007 - TeenStreet Malaysia 2007 entitled CONTAGIOUS ran from December 8 -13 at Kolej Tuanku Jaafar. Over 340 persons attended TeenStreet Contagious from New Zealand, USA, Philippines, Brunei, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Sweden. Participants comprised 219 teens, 30 service team, 38 coaches, 5 Ministry & Management Leaders, about 45 staff members and 10 worship band members.

Six fun-filled learning days on how to be contagious and infect their sphere kept participants rivetted through the program leaders – Yong Foo Seng (Malaysia), Chris and Mel Kleinloh (Germany), Denise (New Zealand) and Dan & Suzie Potter (USA). The TeenStreet Band 1 A.M. encouraged the teens to be SOLD OUT for Jesus with their original composition. Experiencing God through the Throne Room, Workshops (Interact 1.0 & 2.0), Sports, TNT. Race, TNT. Pray, Interaction Zone and Shh… time. Teens had the opportunities to be creative in their worship through writing their prayer requsts at the Prayer Net and clipping their prayer requests on the clothes line, writing down the blockages they have in their relationship with God on the Hindrance Wall and being quiet at the Prayer Tent.

This year’s TNT.Race raised over RM24,000 towards OM’s work with people living with HIV/AIDS. A teen raised money through selling hand-made Christmas cards, others baked cookies, whilst others did chores to raise the funds for people suffering from HIV/AIDS.
“This year’s TNT race (btw TNT means Teens Need Teens) was real fun. It was raining heavily but praise God we all still ran the race. My coach playfully pour a whole bucket of water on me after a teamwork game called balloon frenzy. She was just so much fun to be with. and guess what, my team won the tnt race. Haha.. it was just somehow very funny and unexpected.hehe.. “ – Leanne, Malaysia

TnT Pray helped teens pray for the unreached people groups all over the world and experience a bit of spiritual hunger and physical poverty when they were served with yoghurt, grains of rice and onions after skipping lunch. “Whoopee! We had to use unconventional ways to pray for teens suffering around the world. Well guess what. The organisers decided to make us suffer like those other teens. We had to go from station to station praying for different things. Through each station, we got bound up with masking tape. Val/Dawn and Kim/Amelia were bound up at the wrists, and Grandma aka COACH was bound up 2 hands together. But whoopee, guess what. Lauren and I were bound up at the ankles. And nothing hurt as much as walking around stuck to someone else at the ankles for the entire day. I got extremely twisted and cut up that my ankle was really red after that.” – Hannah Khaw, Malaysia

“Not knowing God is like swimming against the tide. My parents stopped having wild fights. I have direction. I know where I am going my family and I have PEACE with Jesus, “ shares a teen in prayer time.

“I also was glad that I was able to write out my difficulties on a the Hindrance Wall. After writing it I felt relieved. That a burden was lifted. Thank you for praying.” – An Anonymous Teen

“Thx for teaching me wat praise n worship really meant.... only in teenstreet that i began 2 felt the strong presence of God with me.... well keep up the good work for God... n i have made my decision 2 b sold out for God.” - Jerald

Joycelin, a teen shared at TeenStreet her heartfelt cry to God about wanting to be Contagious through a song she wrote in May 2007

Contagious
Verse 1:
All the while i thought it was hard to,live a life which is pleasing to God,
but after feeling God's love i felt peace
Doing more than just to receive
I felt the urgency to reach out
To those who needed everlasting love
I wanna change i wanna transform lives
Let those be blessed by God's embrace

Pre-Chorus:I'm taking this calling
Completing God's mission for me
Gonna spread this love
As contagious it should be

Chorus:
I'll step out from my comfort zone
I'll lay my life down at your feet
Returning the love you have shown
You are the one i'll give away
You are the reason my faith will never sway
I'll take up my cross never goastray
To be a part of your great will i pray

Verse 2:
Now I know that you are true to me
Your Love has made me very different
Show your great love for the world to see
Tell everyone you are concerned

TeenStreet Malaysia 2007 Contagious ended with Teens making a commitment to CARE, DELIGHT in God, BEING REAL, DEVELOP VISION, FIGHT OPPOSITION AND INFECTING THEIR SPHERE.

If you do not bring your own bedsheet, we will provide you one at the cost of RM 15.

What is the Community Lifestyle Statement?

TeenStreet is a community of people from many different nations, cultures and Church backgrounds. At TeenStreet we try to focus on basic Bible teachings and the most important issues of life. We want to set aside our “self” priorities, and our selfish nature. This may mean we need to be more sensitive. We are not here to push our way, but to learn from one another.

The Community Lifestyle Statement and Dress Code have been written for the TeenStreet week. We are not saying that this is how everyone should live at home, however it helps us to live in unity during TeenStreet. Remember to live according to the Bible. The words and teachings of Jesus cross all cultural differences.

TeenStreet Community Lifestyle Statement

At TeenStreet our first concern will be to have the right attitudes towards God and one another. But we also know that we need some clear rules for our life together during this time, especially as we come from such a variety of backgrounds. To not offend others or cause other problems, all the participants at TeenStreet agree to the following:

a) Illegal actions are of course forbidden at TeenStreet and by law we are required to report most violations to the police. This includes the use of drugs, the use of knives, other violence, threats, vandalism, racism etc.

b) During TeenStreet we all refrain from the use of alcohol on and off site.

c) TeenStreet is for NON-smokers so I will refrain from all smoking on or off site during TeenStreet.

d) We will all follow the instructions of staff and leaders. If there is a reason not to do so, I will first talk with my coach or M&M Leader. If I am not a teen participant, I will talk with the supervisor or another authority over my leader.

e) All teens and coaches must take part in the daily required activities. Exceptions must be cleared with an M&M leader who will also take action depending on the need.

f) Everyone must be at his or her accommodation for Net Time 2. All must be quiet and lights off at ‘DOWN’ time as per schedule. Guys cannot enter girls accommodation areas and girls cannot enter guys accommodation areas.

g) Do not borrow, move or touch anyone’s belongings without their permission.

h) We are all committed to follow the TS Dress-code for this week:

What is the dress code at TeenStreet?

1. We encourage you to cover too much rather than too little! For some of you we may have to come to you and ask you to put more on or change something. Do not take that personally. We just want to help you, in that what you are wearing will not offend others. It is even better to ask your coach if you are unsure.

2. Everyone should wear tops – no belly tops, no see-through tops or tops that are too low cut. Guys must wear their shirts including during sports activities.

3. Do not wear clothing or accessories bearing offensive text or graphics (for example, drugs, fascist, violence, sexual or occultist related messages)

4. Undergarments worn should not be seen (including bras for girls).

5. Shorts must be at least mid thigh in length.

6. Trousers must be at least waist high in length.

7. Clothing should not be too tight fitting.


Who can my parents contact in case of an emergency during TeenStreet?

We do not have a land line at the TeenStreet venue but will have two mobile phones that will be held by TeenStreet leaders. The numbers are 012 3169652 or

016 2511842.

For inquiries before TeenStreet who can I contact?

You can email teenstreet@my.om.org or call 03-78035303 and speak to Pari or Hue Jin.

What is the TNT.Race?

TNT is Teens Need Teens and every year at Teentreet we raise money that will be channeled to ministry that is impacting other teenagers or children.

One afternoon during TeenStreet we will all run the TNT.Race - an obstacle course / treasure hunt. You participate in it with your NET (small group). Before coming to TeenStreet you will raise funds from family and friends as you pledge to run the TNT.Race. See the materials enclosed.

TeenStreetOctober PrayerUpdate

Pray Without Ceasing Oct 2007

Momentum is building up for TeenStreet Malaysia 2007 as we see God bringing people and plans together. Two months to go, and your prayers remain vital. Keep praying for the teens and TeenStreet organizing teams!

PRAISE GOD for…

  • TeenStreet Band. Praise God for answering our prayer for a suitable band with committed members to lead worship at TeenStreet! Pray that God’s hand will be upon them as they prepare.
  • The Team. Thank God for providing the various organizing teams with personnel and creative ideas, especially for site design and Prayer Room. Continue to praise God for how He is bringing together volunteers to serve on the program, services, logistics and administration teams.
  • TeenStreet Germany. As we look forward to TeenStreet Malaysia 07, let’s praise God for His work in the hearts of teens elsewhere. 3,000 teens from all over Europe gathered together in Germany (28 Jul – 4 Aug) to learn how to be Contagious and infect their sphere for Christ. Praise God for what they learned about HIV/AIDS, and for their enthusiasm in raising tremendous financial support for HIV/AIDS ministry amongst children and youth. Pray that as the teens return to their home situations, they will keep allowing God to work in their lives, so that they will be who they were created to be and contagiously affect others around them with the love of Christ.

PRAY for…

  • Teenstreet Malaysia Reunion (Oct 21). Pray that as teens and staff get together again, they will connect and have a great time. Pray that everyone will be blessed and motivated by God as they spend time in games, worship, prayer, and revisit previous TeenStreet challenges – to “Love God, Love People” (2005) and be transformed into Christ-likeness in “Metamorphosis” (2006).

  • Coach, Service Crew and Staff Training (Nov 3). Pray that God will bring together as many coaches, service crew and staff as possible for a fruitful time of getting to know each other, encouragement, and in-depth training for ministry at TeenStreet 2007. Pray for clear vision, unity of heart and purpose, and empowerment from God.

· Registration. Pray that more teens will participate in this year’s TeenStreet and will register early to facilitate planning.

· TNT.Race. Pray for creativity in planning the TNT.Race and that that God will give teens a passion to collect funds to support ministry for HIV/AIDS.

  • TiM (Teens in Mission). Pray that God will speak to the hearts of teens even now to decide that they will step out of their comfort zone and become contagious for Christ. Pray that they will prayerfully consider getting involved in TiM after TeenStreet, namely mission projects ranging from work among the poor to serving in orphanages.
  • The Team. Pray that the Organising Committee and various organizing teams will be sensitive to God’s leading as they plan. Pray for strength, more creative ideas and resources for those working on program, site design, creative and interactive prayer, workshops and sports.
