Pls note that you will be sharing the room with 3-4 others. So if you bring cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones you will be responsible for your own belongings.

Where will I sleep?

The rooms are dormitary style with about 4-6 beds in each room. You will have a bed but bedsheets & pillows are not provided. So do bring your own pillow, pillow cover, bedsheet & blanket. You cannot sleep on the mattress without a bedsheet.

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.

Blessings,

Parimalam Balasubramaniam
