Breakthrough!

Greetings from KDU Penang! We have our regular meet up for Campus Revo prayer every week, but somehow today was really different. We felt that God presence is so strong among our midst. We started off with a time of worship- As we sing a new song for God, His presence just dwelled in our room. After that I took the opportunity to share a testimony regarding an incident that happened to me this morning. My initial plan was to cancel the Campus Revo prayer because I saw the heavy rain after I woke up. So i called up my vice-president to let him know about it, and his answer was "Bro, just hold on for a moment. I was thinking how would it be possible for the rain to stop, but I prayed asking God for His will to be done and amazingly it stopped after i finished my preparation!" God always do what seems to be impossible for us. The highlight of today was right after i shared the testimony. Another member stepped out and shared exactly the same thing i've gone through- just that his situation required an extra step of faith to believe in God to stop the rain. This is because he has to walk all the way to the bus station. What he shared was "I was prompted to sms Darren that I won't be able to make it, but God placed an impression in my heart - JUST GO. When I stepped out from my apartment I brought along an umbrella with me, and I was ready to get wet, but just when i was about to open the umbrella, THE RAIN STOPPED!! Amazing!! After he shared, everybody started opening up about the 'RAIN Discouragement' they also went through. We were all so amazed by His wonderful love and faithfulness to us.

God is the same Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. A breakthrough for us to see and experience God faithfulness even when we are not!

Another big breakthrough was all the staffs in KDU PG are required to wear KDU uniforms every friday, so we decided to meet up with our principal to suggest our plans on promoting Campus Revo in KDU. With God's favour, we managed to get the approval from the principal's office that Campus Revo T-shirts are now recognized as Friday's uniform as well! Praise GOD!! 27 Campus Revo T-shirts were sold today to all the staffs! All Glory goes to God. KDU for Jesus!

St.Xavier's Revo Garden

We will be launching our first Revo Garden project in Penang this coming October and St.Xavier's Institution will be the first to have this project in their school. The Re-Evolvers crew will be working together with St.Xavier's Christian Fellowship/Recess Revolution group for this project.

The CF/RR group will be starting the fund-raising in their school starting from 30th August onwards. You can also show your support by:

1. Buy A Tree
2. Buy A T-Shirt
3. Be A Volunteer
4. Support The Fund-Raising Projects

The estimated cost for the project is RM8000 and this will be funded entirely through fund-raising and sponsorship as this is an effort by the CF/RR to bless the school with a brand new garden. Should you wish to contribute to the Revo Garden project- be it in cash or in kind, kindly contact us at recessrevopg@gmail.com or 012-4888479. Thanks in advance!

*More updates about the fund-raising will be announced soon

Revo Garden

The "Revo Garden" Project is an initiative by Recess Revo students who will be carrying out this project in partnership with a recognized and proven youth development NGO called AYA (Asian Youth Ambassadors), who also facilitates the "Recess Revolution" movement nationwide.

The Significance of Revo Garden:

1. Transformation
   The new (or upgraded) Revo Garden would be transformed from a deserted place into a beautiful and vibrant garden. It signifies the students' desire to "transform" their school into a better place - not just socially but physically as well!
   
   
2. Nurture
   Like every other living thing, the Revo Garden needs to be cared for and nurtured by fertilizing, watering, etc. The RecessRevo students intend to "nurture" their school by "watering" it with their care, "sowing" their love in action with kindness and prayer so that their school can truly become a better place.
   
   
3. Continuity
   Once the Revo Garden is established, the students will have something physical to pass on to the next generation of students from the "Recess Revolution" movement to continue to care for and nurture. It is for them to tell the next generation, "Now, this is YOUR garden. Take care of it." It symbolizes the passing on of ownership (of the school) to the juniors, so that they too can catch the spirit of loving and caring for their school. It speaks of continuity, and that we are in for the "long haul." Change is a process and we understand that it is more important how we finish than how we started.
   
   
4. Movement
   The Revo Garden is a "monument" that speaks of a "movement." A movement that stands for the "Revolution of Love" - a revolution that comes from and through love in action. To do so, students can continue enhancing the beauty of the garden by adding more features: flowers, fountain, fish (in a pond), etc. This is a movement that will carry on until they see the change we dream of in their school come to pass - at every level - for every person!

The desire to give the school a garden is not at the expense of the school's budget but as a gift from the students to the school. As such, many fund-raising will be done in order to raise funds. They include selling "Revo Garden" Project T-shirts to mark the day that students took a stand to do something for a CAUSE greater than themselves.

In many instances, students are known for their lack of care. However, Revo Garden is to show that there are "student revolutionaries" who are determined to make the difference in their schools. Through this, they long to set an example that when one chooses to bless their school and protect the very place that builds them a future, there is much joy and fulfillment.

Sharing Recess Revo in St.George's Girls' School & SMJK Chung Hwa Confucian High School

Just last week, we had the open door to go visit St.George's Girls' School and SMJK Chung Hwa Confucian High School to share about Recess Revo again. For SGGS, it was our first time visiting the school ground as we shared to a group of students in McDonalds last year who wanted to see a change in their school. Up to date, they have more than 10 people in their Recess Revo group praying and standing in the gap for their school. We get to share more about Recess Revo as not all of them heard about if before and we believe that they are excited to see more in their school!

We also had the open door to visit SMJK Chung Hwa Confucian High School again to share about Recess Revo to their new Christian Fellowship members. Both the leaders of the CF are excited to see a change taking place in their school and we believe many more testimonies will take place in this school. We thank God that both these schools have teacher advisers who are very supportive and they are praying together with them for their school! Praise God for that and we pray that the Revolution of Love will continue to spread in both these schools through all these young people!

Bus Affair!

This is a Campus Revo update from UTAR Kampar which just happened yesterday. They blessed 220 students in their campus with free bus rides! Read on for more:

Today 8 of us from the Campus Revo team in UTAR Kampar carried out what I call our ‘Bus Affair’. Basically what we did was give out free bus tickets to the students. We have a special UTAR bus which picks students to and fro the housing areas and campus at certain times throughout the day. Each trip costs one ticket which is RM 0.70. We decided to give out 2 tickets per student and also a bookmark. Why 2 tickets? Go there must come back also ma.

Each CR member was informed about the Bus Affair. Whoever who wants to contribute the bus tickets can do so. No limits, no minimum amount. Just like that, giving from the heart. Then, about 2 weeks back we compiled the tickets during meeting and I was shocked to see the number of tickets. We had 440 bus tickets and it was less than 15 people giving! It is amazing how God can provide. It is also because we have lecturers in our group who also contributed quite a lot. God really brought people bit by bit the weeks before.

So with 440 tickets we decided to give each student 2 tickets. The bookmarks were made. Each had a verse on it and on the back ‘A little gift for you’. Then this morning at 7am we gathered at the main bus stop. I admit initially we were all still in dreamland but after a while excitement, joy and happiness just took over. We spread out and gave the tickets and bookmarks. After a while the team got the hang of it and we extended out territory to 2 other bus stops.

The responses we got were hilarious. Some students just stared and ‘huh’, some just take say thank you then only realized that there are two bus tickets, some asked ‘why?’, some gave huge smiles, some refused to accept but most of them were just shocked and in a disbelief state. There was even one student who said he wants to keep the bookmark but doesn’t want the bus tickets. LOL. Many of them seemed to like the bookmark. We found one that was too engrossed with the bookmark that he/she dropped the bus tickets without realizing that.

Then even the bus driver helped us out. He realized what we were doing so he honked and pointed to let us know when there was another student coming so that they were not missed out. We had printed extra bookmarks so I decided to just give him one as well. He was smiling all the way when he drove off. We even waved to one or 2 buses as it drove off and a few of the students in it waved back smiling.

It was indeed a blessing to bless others. Not only were the students who received smiling but also the team. While giving some were really really excited that they could not wait for the students to reach them but went all the way up to them. We were all happy and just in a good mood after the whole thing was over even though we were lacking sleep. We all started our day with a blast. Even as a group we have gotten closer. Just by doing this we have also bonded with each other. Ice really broken. Looking forward to doing more for God together,

All glory goes to God. We believe that the 220 students today were blessed and touched by God. Not only them but I think the bus driver felt the love too. :)

Spreading the love of God in campus,
UTAR Kampar Campus Revo
