WHAT IS IT? IN A NUTSHELL…
Recess Revolution is a movement/mobilization of young people who are maximizing “recess time” (“waktu rehat”) in schools to make a statement of what they believe in, and to make an impact by being a positive influence right where they are. It is a coming together of like-minded, “like-spirited” youths to do something* together in their schools with a mission to make the difference and bring about positive change (i.e. revolution)! It is not just about bringing people to Christ, but - even more so - about bringing Christ to people (and into schools)! |

An Exercise in Being Focused!
Uploaded Thu, Jan 28, 2010
Keeping in mind that there are many distractions/attractions present in school, try this:- Set aside a day (Recess time) to hold a Bible Study or Discussion or Prayer in a busy part of school i.e. Bible Study in the Canteen during recess! We trust it would be a good exercise on being focused! |
| 2. |
Proclaim your faith out loud!
Uploaded Wed, Jan 20, 2010
Be strong in your speech and courageous in your actions! Be prepared to proclaim your faith out loud. Form or join small groups during Recess, and intentionally start a discussion about Jesus and who God is to you. Be prepared to share your own personal testimony too! Be enthusiastic, be bold, be wise! |

With so many distractions around us, staying focused can be a real challenge! Yet, it will take focus in order for us to be successful in anything. God had asked Joshua to do the same: be focused. Let’s talk more about FOCUS in “Joshua, Part 2” |

REAL BIBLE HEROES - Joshua, Part 1: Be Strong and Courageous
Uploaded Wed, Jan 20, 2010
Joshua was commanded by God to be strong and courageous. He knew that God was calling him for something greater than himself. Do you feel the same way about your RR? Joshua went on to lead his people into a new land. As part of Recess Revo, you are also to lead the way for your school into a “New Normal Land” (lifestyle)! Study and Discuss “Joshua, Part 1” for more! |

Science-Laboratory Cleaning Spree (SMK Subang Utama (SS18)) (Edit) / (Delete)
Uploaded on: Saturday, Mar 13, 2010
Date of Event: Friday, Mar 12, 2010
Hey revoteens!! I, on behalf of my school's recess revo and CF would like to share on what we did during the 30 minutes break of our school's Malidul-Rasul(if that's how you spell it) event.
Attendance for all students was compulsory that day, the morning session were to combine with the afternoon session. So, this gave us an idea to do recess revo together, morning + afternoon, that is to help the school clean the science laboratories, since we had such a big group. All in all, there were atleast 21 one of us.
The day before our recess revo day, Chan Tong and I submitted a permission letter to the Penolong Kanan Kokurikulum for her approval on this. When she read through the letter, she was surprised that we were so eager or to even think of cleaning the science laboratories, and plus, during our Break time. If I'm not mistaken, none of the other societies like leo have thought of cleaning the labs before. So, practically, it's a first for the school.
Before she approved the letter, she asked us, "Pada hari itu, kamu semua tak akan makan ke pada waktu rehat? Pihak sekolah akan menyediakan makanan percuma."
We felt tempted though but resisted it and replied," Tak. Kami akan terus buat kerja amal ini tanpa makan." She then replied with a smile and told us she was proud of us for helping the school with such a task.
On the day, I went to the teacher's staffroom to find the person in charge of opening the labs. Honestly, I was suppose to show the approved permission letter to the person in charge, but had forgotten to bring it. So, I prayed and took that risk to ask without having to show anything.
When the person-in-charge came to know about what we were going to do with the labs, he was surprised too. He was so happy that he went and told all the science teachers about it in the staffroom and in the pejabat am. He didn't even ask for the permission letter. Instead, he immediately went to get the keys for the labs and handed it over to me. Praise the LORD!
On the other hand, the teachers went like," So rajin???" I just nodded my head and smiled. Quickly, we started with prayer and divided into groups of 5-6 and went into our own respective labs to start cleaning. We wiped the tables, cleaned the ceiling fans, wiped window panes and sweeped the floor all within that 30mins of break. It was impossible to cover the whole lab within that limited time, but by God's Grace, we succeeded in doing so.
When the school bell went off indicating that break was over, we practically had finished cleaning 80% of the labs. The person-in-charge then came to the labs to see how we were doing and kept thanking us for helping him clean the labs.
He told us that he was suppose to take care and maintain all the labs by himself, but with our help, he didn't have to worry so much anymore. Before we started cleaning, he told us to leave one lab for him to clean for he was afraid the pengetua wouldn't like it if he didn't do his job. So, we agreed and helped him cover the four other labs. Either way, he was very thankful to all of us.
Of course, we couldn't have done it without God's Grace and the help of all the other revoteens and CF members. They were all so excited about it and gave their best! Praise the Lord that we could be a blessing to our school once more although the task was a small one. All Glory goes to God!
In His Service,
Eilene |

God comfort us.. (SMK Sri Andalas, Klang)
Uploaded on: Friday, Mar 12, 2010
Date of Event: Friday, Mar 12, 2010
hey guys.. Andalasians exam was last week.. too bad we din do anything for RR.. but i do hav an idea for RR, juz tat dunno how to conduct it.. with the help of Arthur Keng, i decided to conduct RR by giving out comforting notes to my frens whom fail their exam in my class, which i planned to do too.. it seems like we r having d same thought at tat moment..
i can see many depressed face yesterday due to the moral exam.. majority failed.. including me.. at 1st i was quite sad.. but i was thinking tat if i can't even comfort myself, how am i going to comfort others?? so i told David abt my plan giving inspiration notes to cheer our frens up.. he reminded me tat juz take it from the Bible.. but none of us brought a Bible to school yesterday.. but thx to Su May, she lend me her Bible after school..
i'm quite sure tat God has planned everything.. i need to attend prefect exco meeting n 2 of d exco was "direhatkan" by our teacher.. 1 of them was angry.. when he left, i showed him a verse from the Bible..
[Hebrews 15:5~6 My child, dont make light of the LORD discipline, and dont give up when he corrects you. For the LORD disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.]
he is not a Christian but he understood it.. his anger was gone n he smiled again..
tiz morning, i gave him a comfort note.. he was even more happier n he shared wat happened yesterday to his frens.. i even gave 1 to my head prefect, coz she was in d debate team too.. they were happy when they read d note which originate from the Bible.. 1 of them was very depressed because she failed her moral.. she was moodless.. when i gave her d note, she started to smile again.. and now, she is in the bm forum team..
scriptures i used...
1) Forgetting what is before and straining forward what is ahead.
Philippians 3:13
2) The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.
Deuteronomy 31:8
3) But as for you, be strong and do not give up,for your work will be rewarded.
2 Chronicles 15:7
Praise the LORD for wat we had done because we din expect tat a simple note could cheer a person whom had lost her faith coz of exam.. n d most unexpected 1 was they were ALL happy again when they read d notes.. Hallelujah!!! |

A Good Long Trial (SMK USJ13)
Uploaded on: Thursday, Mar 11, 2010
Date of Event: Thursday, Mar 11, 2010
Hey guys,
This week was our exams week! So we've decided to just do our Recess Revo in our classroom. So we did it during Econs exams since most of us don't take Econs. So we gathered at my classroom and we just decided to pray and we are planning on what we are going to do for the next few weeks!
Somehow somewhere, our discipline teacher found us doing this just gathering the classroom and pray. She is a Malay teacher and she really don't like us doing all this Christian stuff. She even wanted to stop us from doing our CF! :( So she brought us all into the staff room and she dragged us to one side and actually with her there is one Borang Akur Janji and one Borang Kesalahan. The Borang Kesalahan is for us to admit that we are wrong having prayer in class and the Borang Akur Janji is for us to promise that we won't have Recess Revo anymore.
She asked us to fill it up and she left us there. So we really wanted to fill it up but we know if we fill this up we are not making a stand for us and most importantly for God. So I've decided to tell my RR members we don't fill this form up and i've told them that we are going to stand for what we believe in! After 5 mins, our discipline teacher came back and she was shocked that we did not fill it up. When i mean shocked she is literally shocked and angry at the same time. She can't do anything since we are like that so asked few of my RR members to go back and she asked me and one of my RR members to stay since we are both prefect and she works in the prefect board.
So she told me to fill it up. And i actually told her that "NO! We are not going to fill this up! Nothing wrong right doing all this stuff in class. We are not doing anything wrong overall" Then she told us saying "Fill this up. You are doing something wrong which is to meet up without permission" Then I told her that "We are just meeting like normal friends do and we also do things for a reason which doing things according to what we believe in and what we stand for". Then she told us this "From now onwards i am not letting you all meet up like this anymore" Then I told her this "Even if you are going to stop us by meeting up in school we are going to meet outside of school even if you don't let us meet outside school we are still going to meet at somewhere you don't see us! This is how we believe in doing this and we are doing this all for God"
Then she was more than speechless. She actually challenged me and my RR members to do this, give up our Science books to her until the end of our Science exam. Since we really want to do Recess Revo and we really believe in this, we gave up our Science books to her, but instead of wasting our Science books by just giving her we've decided to give our Science books away to people that forgot to bring their Science books on that day. Then she told our Science teacher to mark our papers and give it to us on the next day. And if we all pass 100% she will not stop us in doing this Recess Revo.
Our Science teacher saw this whole thing happening and she said it's not easy! And she is a Buddhist teacher. So an hour before the Science paper started, she gave us this reference paper for us to study and she told us it will be useful! And true enough the reference paper that we studied came out exactly in our Science paper!
So today when we went to collect our Science results before we all went back home, all my RR members including me :D passed our Science! So we went to show our results to our discipline teacher! And she actually can't say anything but to approved us doing our Recess Revo! PTL :) I did have a long chat with her outside the staff room. And I actually told her that we are going to do this Recess Revo project in our school called "Project Keceriaan". So she told me this " Since you all really believe in this Recess Revo, I will give you all RM1K to do this! :)" Well i said thank you.
So really praise God for even the long testing and trials He has brought us through. And of course this discipline teacher is not a generous giver but yet she still offered us RM1K!! So Praise the Lord :)
That's all from me this week. Hope to hear more true stories from you guys soon ;)
