KL/PJ LYPG

Update

2011-01-27T05:51:00.000-08:00

KL PJ LYPG is now going monthly and the next LYPG is this Saturday, 29th of January.

10am at PPBC.

See you there. :)

Ahh...

2010-05-15T08:55:00.000-07:00

Hear that?

It's the sigh of complete contentment.

It's the sound of perfect peace. =)

And so it was.. An afternoon of uninterrupted "gazing" into God's face.

5 hours of basking in His wonderful presence.

What I found interesting was that for the first time, we did not have an abundance of prophetic words. Usually the MYPG prayer times are filled with static, "i saw this picture", "i got this verse", et cetera. Followed by confirmations, prophetic insights, and lots of excitement. Zap zap zap!

But this was like the quiet and rest in the middle of war. God did lots of deep stuff. Hence most sharings were on a very personal level. Personal, yes.. but very significant.

We may think cleansing ourselves has nothing to do with praying for the NATION. But how can we know the destiny of our generation when we do not know the destiny of our own lives?

Do you have anything to share about your time at Heart to the Beat of Love? Feel free to comment below. =)

eunice

Love was made for me and you

2010-05-14T09:33:00.000-07:00

Love.

The very nature of God IS it.

The very image of God breathes it.

The very word of God speaks it.

Love.. was made for us and Him. Love exists because of Him.

There is no doubt that we are living on the edges of history.

Biblical prophecy is happening before our eyes, earthquakes are happening faster than you blink, wars and terror are now as common as toast for breakfast.

Pestilence, idolatry, lawlessness, perversion... You can name all the biblical words.. They are happening now.

What are we doing in these times.

Hiding in our caves?

Getting too busy with life?

Or looking out for His return with eyes alert and hearts aflame.

Tomorrow's "Heart to the beat of love" is NOT A MARATHON.

It's a TIME OUT. A mini time capsule away from the normal demands of our lives...

To just sit at His feet and hear His heart for our present reality.

To be continued... =)

E, is even more than anyone that You adore

2010-05-09T08:16:00.000-07:00

Have you ever heard I Run To You by Lady Antebellum? It's one of my most current favorite songs! Catchy beat and meaningful words, what's not to love? (:

I liked it so much, I memorized the lyrics! (That proves how much I play it, haha) And sing along every single time it comes on the radio or media player. I can even sing without music, on my own! Haha. Only yesterday, it hit me what the words said
" I run from hate
I run from prejudice
I run from pessimists
But I run too late
I run my life
Or is it running me
Run from my past
I run too fast
Or too slow it seems

When lies become the truth
That’s when I run to you".

Two questions came into mind:-
1. What was I running from?
2. Who was I running to?

What are you running from?
And who are you running to?

Some of us, like the song says, run from hate.
This world is a world of hate, and some people hide form the world.
They'd rather disappear then be seen, and they've always wanted to be invisible. Wanted to be or happen to be, thats sort of the same dont you think? At the end of the day, you still are in invisibility.
But God sees you

Some of us run from prejudice.
We run from bitter talk, we run from taking sides, we run from basically everything that has to do with us making a decision. We hate making decisions! We'd just like to stay neutral. Be in our bubbles that are not of this world, bubbles we create ourselves, to protect ourselves.
But God says choose which side your on

We also run from pessimist.
People who always see the bad in things. Sometimes I always see the bad in things. And I would say that an everyday pessimist has scales from his eyes. Why are we running from pessimist, people who "live" in darkness when we are supposed to be light? In a dark room, with just a little light, the room lights up. We run from pessimist cause we're afraid to be like them, to be influenced by them.
But God says it's not the healthy who need to doctor, but the sick. People need to see Jesus through you. He says you are an influence, you make the difference and you are that light.

" I run my life,
or is it running me? "
God says he who finds his life loses it, but he who loses his life finds it.

Most of us are this one right here,
we are runners from our past.
We run because we;ve been broken before and brokenness is the hurt of a person's heart and soul that the person himself cannot heal, by himself. We run from our thinking of not being good enough, we run from awfull memories, we run from stroms in life -All this that we run from, we call it the past. All to be forgotten and never surfaced up ever again.
But God says He is close to the brokenhearted and we were made to be conquerers.

It must be tiring to run from everything that life brings us and we're afraid of. And it must be tiring to hear what the world or people around us think we should do, what defines us and what we are. It tells us of what we are as well. The world makes us compromise to It's standards and tells us lies, that eventually we believe at truths.

We've lost ourselves,
time to be found.
We've been chipped/scratched/scared/wounded,
time to be whole.
Time to be who and everything God has called us to be.

Let's hear what God has to say about us, every word is truth
and it is soaked with a heavy dose of everlasting love.
Let God speak, and I will listen.

Heart To The Beat Of Love
May 15th

V, is very very extraordinary

2010-05-07T10:39:00.000-07:00

We see a big storm brewing in the merry month of May. It's exciting to see how God is planning so much for His people and even trying to guess what is install gives us chills down our spines and plasters a big smile across our faces (: Haha.

This May, KL/PJ LYPG will be organizing an event -Heart To The Beat Of Love. We feel so strongly that this it is called entirely by God, and to Him be all glory. This 15th, there's be 5hours of prayer and worship. To build a "bridge" and for the love of hearing the sound of hearts returning to Him. We got the verse Isaiah 2:3. `Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Where, what time, and when?!
15th May 2010
11am - 4.30pm
People's Park Baptist Church

Come and see what God is doing in our city.
With Love,
The LYPG

O, is for the only One I see

2010-04-30T09:57:00.000-07:00

The merry month of May.
It's going to be a merry one alright (;

There's so much going on this month.
It leaves me amazed and in awe of God and how much He is doing in our nation. And it also leaves a big smile right across my face. Haha, are you guys excited?

This month's going to be a month full of prayer.
Just a tini-tiny reminded, we're starting of with
10 Days of Prayer by MNPN,
Heart to the best of Love by LYPG,
Run Nat by The Run Nat Team,
Global Day Of Pray by MNPN & Team

In all of this, let's remember 2 Chronicles 7:14 that says
"If My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Yes & Amen

Time to gear up, keep the fire burning and keep our eyes on the Kingdom of God. He knows what He is doing (:

A new month, time for firsts! Or firsts after firsts!
-If we'd never met you, or have not in the loongest time,
join us tomorrow for LYPG at 10am
in People's Park Baptist Church.

It's the merry month of May,
but the more, definitely the merrier!
Hope to see you soon (:

With love, the LYPG team.

L, is for the way You look at me

2010-04-25T07:24:00.000-07:00

Hello dearest (:
How was your weekend?

We had an awfully good one. Met at 10am as usual but this time, we started with writing personal letters to God! About what we were going through and what we hope would be for 2010 for us, personally. Then we had a time of worship and after that, broke up into pairs to pray and encourage one another.

We ended the meeting half an hour late because we felt the urgency of praying for our political situation and our politicians. We believe in Matthew 22:14 which says `Many are called, but few are chosen. All our politicians are called my God to be in places of position, for a certain time, season and purpose. But it's our responsibility to pray for our nation and to stand in the gap for Malaysia (:

Mooooving on,
LYPG is organizing an event on 3 weeks from now. And we are very very excited for it! It is called *drum roll please*... (:

It will be a whole afternoon of prayer for our nation. Those of you who think you're not good talkers, it will be a whole afternoon of worship as well! And if if if, you can't sing -everyone knows how to enjoy right?
It's going to be an afternoon of enjoying God (: Him, as He is. Great, Almighty and Real.
We feel so strongly that this is an event called out for by God, for us to come and meet Him/seek His face for this nation.

Details!
May 15th 2010
11am - 4pm
Email us at klpjlypg@gmail.com for more information!

We'll do write ups on the planning and the things that God has placed in our heart for this event. I hope you guys are as excited as we are! It's going to be *whooooosh* mind blowing.

See you in awhile, crocodile

Dare You To Move - Switchfoot.

2010-04-15T10:09:00.000-07:00

We're back!! Going into a Phase 2, we thought our blog needed to go into a 2.0 as well. How do you find the new blogskin? I was trying my best to make it not look like "me". Give me your feedback if you want to tweak it a little here and there.

Anyway, hello (:
How have you prayer warriors been?

As an LYPG we've been slacking and feel into a transition period were everything was pretty much a blur. Things have been stagnant. We had misty vision and like in those days, went around in circles.
That is all going to change from now on.
We came together and prayed to seek after God's heart for what He wants us to do. And finally, God has given us direction! We now have pieces of a puzzle of what we know is God's big plan for this nation, Malaysia. It's going to be an exciting year! You wouldn't want to miss out on what God is doing in your Malaysia ;)

There are so many reason of why we 18 year old's don't want to pray for Malaysia, and maybe you who are less than 18 would agree too. Often we say,
I'm too young
I don't really know how to pray
Malaysia memang no hope already, this sucha waste of time

I'm not good enough

We're never good enough and we're never worthy of our callings, that's why we often say `God, Your garce is sufficient. I have made so many mistakes in my life, most I cannot take back. I'm a sinner + a lot of other things. Why we choose to pray for this nation then? Let me put it in numbers for you (:
1) My righteousness is like a filthy rag. And when I say His grace is sufficient for me -what I'm saying is Jesus has died for me, He washed away my sins and His righteousness because of what He has done, is the one that clothes me. I am only worthy because I'm with Him. t's like going for a VIP party. You can't get in cause you're just Sue Ann, 18. But when you go with the most important person, that changes everything. You get my drift? ;)
2) I am a Malaysian. And I am a christian. Both of which were called by God for me to be.
3) I believe in a God that does the impossible. I may doubt Him sometimes, but when I look at the universe.. or even something simpler, my body and how it functions. These everyday miracles make me go `Woah God, You are Almighty :O
He can use you and it doesn't matter how old you are, or how well you speak. Moses didn't speak well either. And God used him ohso mightily. ...If Malaysia really had no hope, then all the more we should cry out to heaven and ask the God who gives hope and is hope into this land. I ain't gonna see my country go down without a fight! Haha, are you?
4) Prayer is what fuels the work of God. We believe that. And we want to see more of God in this nation, in our schools, universities, colleges. This is definitely not enough. We want to see changes and we want a better tomorrow. We wants to see what God has in store, His great big and marvelous plan for the nation.
5) Sings* -And we can see that God you're moving
A mighty river through the nations
And young and old will turn to Jesus
Fling wide your heavenly gates
Prepare the way of the risen Lord

Open up the doors and let the music play
Let the streets resound with singing
Songs that bring your hope
Songs that bring your joy
Dancers who dance upon injustice
- Did you feel the mountains tremble? Hillsongs.

I don't want to just sing of these great things,
I want to live them.
-

So even if your green, have ear wax that you can use to make candles, and you look exactly like Shrek; If you're a talking donkey, OR all the above, haha. We'd love to meet you!! And we'd want very much for you to be apart of our LYPG family♥ Come and see what God is doing in Malaysia. See you Saturday!

Love, Sueann.

Step Up 2.5

2009-11-03T00:36:00.000-08:00

BOO!
You may not hear from us. You may not see us.
But LYPG prayer has been going on consistently week after week.

However, there's a time for everything. And now we seem to be getting the message.. SPEED UP. In the middle of this year, while we were waiting on the Lord, a powerful Word came through the youngest person..

"I see a picture of us walking, but we were walking at the pace of a heartbeat. When the heart pumped, we took a step. Then I heard God saying - Move at the pace of My heartbeat."

From there we understood that we were to 1) neither overstep God 2) nor fall behind His timing

So where are we right now??

4 weeks ago: RunNat. Prayer goes OUT
Prayer taken to the streets and places of power

3 weeks ago: Look into my face. Your prayer starts here.
We got taken to the throne room where worship fuels prayer

2 weeks ago: Step out. Like, now.
Action needed. Enough said.

Last week: It's time for you to upgrade. Ready? Set? Go - RUN!
Dare we to engage more intensely?

Prayer needs to have people that are committed. People need to have prayer that is committed. I'm speaking to myself right here, because i know how far I fall short time and time again. But I desire to pray NOT because I am compelled by duty or leadership.. but

because I am MOVED by God's heart.
My own drive, determination, emotions can only bring me so far. After that comes the Holy Spirit, who helps us in our weakness (Rom 8)

For those in those dry places like me, where prayer seems too much an obligation and not a holy habit.. i just have a few words from my own heart.

Let His heart move you.

Love,
Eunice

See you at LYPG

LYPG on foot!

LYPG Sept 5

2009-08-28T02:46:00.000-07:00

Hearing God for

@ LYPG KL/PJ

Date: 5th September
Time: 10am - 12pm
Venue: PPBC
Contact: Eunice - 013-2201780

Vision: To see a movement of youth in mission rise out of Malaysia.
Can it happen?

As thePlan09 draws nearer,
we want to remember that this is a work that God is building, not ours. Therefore, we need to hear His heart just as much as we DO the work. And that is why we need to pray and listen! Getting in tune with His heartbeat will give us the impetus to PRAY, BELIEVE and ACT beyond our natural expectations.

We don't want another event, another hype, another circus.
We want HIS PLAN to be revealed,
HIS PEOPLE to be awakened,
and HIS WILL to be done.

Jadi, mari kita berdoa,

All invited

Don't pull out the umbrella!

Dear fighter jets,

The three of us (Yvonne, Esther, Eunice) feel called as facilitators to set aside the month of June for KL/PJ LYPG to seek God intensely. The first five months have been a good introduction; it's time to enter into more strategic prayer and action.

Hence, the month of June is gonna look like this:

- We will be meeting every Saturday.

- We will be meeting earlier. 10am - noon.

- We will be handing over more leadership roles to younger leaders

The reason why we are setting aside this month to pray every week is mainly to seek God's direction for kl/pj's LYPG. We want to pray and move according to His heartbeat. We also felt that because we are in the city, the heart of Malaysia, all the more we need to be clear of where He wants us to go, what He wants us to do. We have other future plans in mind other than just prayer i.e. get down to action hands-on stuff, but before that we want to seek God as an LYPG regarding the next step that we should be taking. We want to do His will, not ours.

Any words, comments or questions? Please feel free to give your feedback. We want to hear from you.

In the meantime, there are are other prayer-related initiatives coming up that we encourage you to be part of...

We will see you soon!

Love,
The LYPG faciltators

Transport to MYPG 3

2009-05-18T10:08:00.000-07:00

Hey all,

This email is especially for PJians, KLians and anyone else who will be going for MYPG 3 from here. We have chartered a bus for 43 pax to go up to Alor Setar on the 3rd of June, leaving PPBC at about 10 pm, we'll reach Alor Setar early in the morning and then we'll leave that same night, at about 10 pm so we will be able to reach PJ by 5th morning.

So, means we won't be spending the night in Alor Setar at all. Why so crazy, you ask? This is so that the working people won't have to take extra leave on the 3rd, and so that they would be able to join us :)

So far we have about 30 spaces left. Anyone keen to join the troup? Do let either; me (Yvonne) or Adelynn Cheah know by the 28th of May because we'll need to confirm witht he bus company. If we don't have cukup 40 people, we will cancel our bus reservation and go from PuduRaya instead.
You can reach

me at
envyno@gmail.com or 012-6658407
or

Thanks :)
God Bless,

One meeting ago, we prayed for families - that God would strengthen the family units.

So do join us in our following meetings. We hope that you'd be touched and would have a blessed time too. :)

Digging and moulding

2009-02-17T07:57:00.000-08:00

Hey guys! A short report on our last LYPG. Do read prayerfully as we look ahead to our next LYPG this Saturday.

11am - 1pm
7 February at PPBC

Pre-LYPG:
A few days before LYPG, I (Eunice) was praying about LYPG because I was scheduled to facilitate. I had a mental picture of a spade digging dirt in darkness. My first thought of course was "Huh?"
What is God trying to say?
The first interpretation that came to my mind was repentance. Perhaps a time of digging up personal dirt was on God's schedule for LYPG. Not the gotong-royong kind, but the one with tears and tissues where we come bare before God and let Him do heart surgery. You know what I mean?

Next came a Scripture from Jeremiah 18 - The potter at the wheel.
Again, what was God trying to say?
The verses that stood out to me were verses 4 - 6:

"But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Then the word of the LORD came to me: "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?"

Shaping, moulding, re-modeling. How did this fit with repentance?

More clues:
A few days later, the newspapers gave me a clue. As I read about what was going on in Perak, I had a burden to pray for that state. To pray that this work at the wheel, no matter how marred, can be made whole in God's hands. That this vessel of silver can be remade as pure as it's meant to be.

But before we could step into praying for our nation (the potter part), we would have to deal with repentance in ourselves (the digging part). That was my Plan B agenda.
Of course there's always Plan A - which is when God shows up on that day itself and does the leading.

Confirmation:
However, no matter how sure we can be of hearing from God, we must check it with others who are hearing from God. In this case, Esther Wee helped confirm the direction for that afternoon. And so we set out to navigate through partly uncharted territory... Using the Bible as our map and Holy Spirit as our compass...

What transpired:
Japh set the first landmark by leading us into worship repentance. We "bowed our hearts and bent our knees" as the Spirit took over. From there, we flowed into personal repentance, taking time alone with God, followed by a time of confession. All this took about a good half an hour.
Next - sharing in a group. Although many of us barely knew each other, everyone took a minute or so to express what God had spoken to them during the time alone with God.

A few themes repeated themselves:

First, the call to trust and rest in God instead of doing things in our own strength.
Second, the call to return our focus back to God and tear ourselves away from distractions.

Good stuff! God was speaking many same things to many people. Someone also shared seeing a vessel, which made me go "Whoa!" on the inside. More on that later.

The "firegunning battle" part:
Before we moved into praying for Perak, Timothy gave an overview of what's going on in the political arena. There is more than meets the eye, or even the newspapers. We prayed for the following: Hope, exposure, Christians in politics and for the church to speak up. Ended full circle by coming back to worship.

Impressions:
- (Someone) saw himself draped with a white cape, which represents honor. God saying - despite the sins of your past, "As you honor me, I will honor you."
- A vessel full of holes, which are the hurts and wounds in people
- "How hungry are you for God?"
- LYPG is not just to pray for the nation, it's also a place for us to refresh, so we can go out and impact others.
- Holding up a cup to God saying "Please can you fill this?" And God replying "You want me to fill that cup? I have an even bigger cup for you that I can fill!"

Of course after that everyone went for lunch at a special placed dubbed "Under the Tree" by the PPBC people. Thank you guys for being such great hosts!

Next LYPG: 21 Feb at PPBC
Next facilitator: Esther Wee!

Pray for Esther as she waits on God for this week's agenda. And come armed and prepared!

The 2nd LYPG

2009-02-13T09:40:00.000-08:00

The song on one of the Astro adverts kept ringing in my mind for quite a while. It's the Boyzone's "Love You Anyway". It goes like this, "It's unbelievably hard to love you but I love you anyway". The guy is trying hard not to love this girl who isn't loving him back.

It got me thinking, would God ever feel that way? It's hard to like someone who doesn't like you back, isn't it? Yet, God, who loves us SO MUCH MORE than how we could love others, sometimes just doesn't get our attention. Is it hard for Him to love us too?

God certainly cares for each one of us and He is ever willing to hear and speak to us. At the last LYPG (2nd meeting), we sang songs, praised God, prayed, heard from God and we shared what He spoke to us. Among some of the things shared was TRUST in God. Many shared of the need to trust Him wholeheartedly and fully depending on Him. There's a need to surrender our all and not go our own way. Perhaps it's like getting ourselves blindfolded while we, by faith, wait for God to direct our paths.

Many others also shared about REST. "COME to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" Matthew 11:28. Are we getting tired and bogged down? God calls us to draw near to Him, just enjoy His presence, be refreshed and energized to love Him more and serve Him better.

Also, at the meeting, we had the opportunity to learn more about the happenings in our nations and we prayed for the concerns. LYPG is a place for us to gather and pray for the needs of our nation and we recognise that God is sovereign! It's a place for us to gather from our various background to stand united in prayer.

So if you've missed our first few gathering, don't worry. Just join us at our next meeting on the 21st of Feb, 11am-1pm at PPBC (refer to map below). If you'd like to, we could have lunch together as well. As we look forward to our next meeting, may we remember what was shared at our first KL/PJ LYPG, which is CONSISTENCY. Keep praying, people! Don't let the fire die. Keep praying!

Happy Valentine's Day :)
And, remember to tell God you love Him!

BersatUnite

2009-01-27T10:01:00.000-08:00

When I first heard of 'bersatunite' concert I was excited. The thought of having youths from different churches, denominations and backgrounds uniting for a night of prayer, worship and passion really caught my attention. I've been brought up knowing the power of prayer and the importance of it, and seeing various youths coming together with a heart and passion for unity and prayer ignited the fire in my own heart to be a part of this wave of revival.

I began my journey by train towards KL Wesley Methodist that night on the 10th of January which began at 7.30pm. When arrived I was shocked initially to find the old traditional nicely decorated Methodist building with an amazing sound system and colourful lights amplified around me. It was my first time in a 'modern' traditional church. The pews had been removed to be able to accomodate the hundreds of youths who would soon be standing all over and filling the church. And soon enough, almost 400 youths, 360 and some adults to be exact were in attendance. The hall was packed.

The night started off with a couple of announcements and worship. The worship was led by youths from various Methodist churches, even as far as youths from Kuantan. After an amazing time of worshipping and coming into the presence of God, we were led into a time of worship by Juwita Suwito. She has an amazing voice and it was the first time I've watched her sing live after hearing about her for a long time. God's presence was indeed in our midts as youths from all over welcomed His spirit into their lives and their churches.

After worship there was some time of prayer, 3 youths from 3 different churches, a baptist, presbyterian and methodist youth represented their various denominations, and asked God for forgiveness and to unite us once again. The atmosphere of prayer was great and I could actually feel as though a sense of unity in purpose and prayer was filling the room. The speaker, Pastor Raymond Raj, gave an inspiring message about unity and the importance of it.

After that, another 3 more youths came onstage to represent the schooling students, the uni and college students and the working adults. Elaine, from PPBC, mentioned the importance of prayer and the amazing things that happen when you pray, Eunice, from FGA Cheras, gave an inspiring speech on what has been happening with the youths in prayer in Malaysia and Yew Meng gave a challenge to the young working adults to 'catch on' with this movement and really be 'history makers' once again. Yoshua, from a Presbyterian church, gave his analogy of young adults from 25-35, who are sitting in their fighter jets waiting and getting tired, but God is saying; now is the time to fly!.

The message was brought forth that this bersatunite event will be continuing further with KL/PJ 'Local Youth Prayer Gatherings' following up after the event, which will start of in People's Park Baptist Church on the 17th February! The meeting ended with Juwita Suwito singing some songs and the song 'Satu Suara'; a call to ALL christians and churches to unite as One Voice in order to see changes and have peace in Malaysia. The night ended in fellowship and people building connections with each other; I was excited to see many familiar faces and to be able to encourage many others to continue to work together to see God's will be done in our lives, the church and nation of Malaysia.

All in all I really thank God that I am a part of this movement, not for any other motives but really to see christian youths from all over Malaysia unite their hearts, put their differences aside and come together to seek His face! It's time the christian youths rise up to set an example for the next generations to follow; not to harbour bitterness and live in strive with one another, but truly as the body of Christ; we may be of many parts but we are ALL in one body. To the glory of God!

till the next Local Youth Prayer Gathering, God Bless!

Kuantan mMYPG (and birth of KLPJ LYPG)

2009-01-21T03:34:00.000-08:00

If there was one word to describe the mMYPG in Kuantan, it would be ‘unexpected’. An assembling of teens and young adults to do nothing but cry out to God for Malaysia? One would only dare to dream. But with this first “mini” MYPG gathering of 2009, it is clear that God is setting in place and pressing the launch button to “more than we can possible think or imagine.”

People from where?
Again it was a gathering of young people from the four regions - North (Alor Setar, Kedah), South (Kluang, Johor), East (Kuantan, Pahang) and West (KL/ PJ). But this time, the rendezvous was the east coast town of Kuantan, where winds of prayer have been fanning a steadily growing flame among the youth.
Because there was not enough time for a full scale promotion, the Kuantan youth leaders decided to make this a ‘mini MYPG’. So it was nothing short of a surprise that the number of participants overshot the target number and pushed to over 200. If this is God’s answer to a mini MYPG, what would He give when we take away the small m?

The night
The gathering opened at Tamil Methodist Church with fellowship and icebreaking on Friday night. After a short time of worship, participants watched the video “Transformation” and then prayed for the next day’s full scale event.
Before the night ended, youth prayer leaders stayed back to press deeper into intercession. One theme that surfaced was “breaking free”, and it paved the way for the next day’s program.

Morning – The day
The dawn watch.
Some of the youth prayer leaders had the burden to press for a further breakthrough before the day’s event. About 30 young people responded to the call and gathered at the church at 6.15 am, asking God to reveal the blockages sensed by many. The answer was simple: sin. Among those God laid down clearly, the primary ones were lust, pride, and rebellion.

The full-day prayer kicked off with worship and a time of repentance led by Yoshua. Following the layout that had been received in the morning, he first asked those who knowingly struggled with those sins to stand. Then, as God’s spirit moved with powerful conviction, volunteers answered the call to represent the rest in prayers of repentance. This was followed by a message by Kenneth Chin on “The Presence of God”.
As these walls of sin were broken, there was a smooth transition to prayer for the nation. Representatives and volunteers came forward to pray for various aspects of the nation: racial unity, religious freedom, and the younger generation.

After lunch, the crowd broke into 14 small groups to pray for the 14 states of Malaysia. The rest of the afternoon was spent praying for the MYPG movement through LYPG, as well as for what God is doing in Kuantan. Just before the close, Kenneth Chin was welcomed back on stage to deliver a “live-feed” message entitled “Fellowship in the Fire” from the story of Daniel and his four friends who purposed not to defile themselves. Then a call to be part of the 100,000 in full-time ministry for God brought the whole event to an end.

On the KLPJ side, a record of 53 crazy bunch of young people made their way to Kuantan on buses for this historic event, many of them regulars now at KLPJ LYPGs. They prayed together, joked on the bus, and connected with each other. The vision of the birth of KLPJ LYPG was brought before the KLites and PJians. The next meet would be at the bersatUnite concert in KL wesley!

Report on BersatUnite coming out soon!

The Spark of All.

Hi Welcome to KL/PJ LYPG Blog!

As u can see it's not really 'renovated' yet, but i cant wait to post the first post up!
& sory la to you ppl who wants to post. evil smiles*
.
Alrite first of all, Im gonna write a little about how the 1st meeting went on, to be honest, im still not too well verse with LYPG yet, so later on someone else would post up a more complete, guided post for deeper understanding. Im just gonna write a brief note about what happened on the 17th January 2009, when a new Flag is risen and History Makers making their ways into something awesome...
.

So what is LYPG to me?
The 1st thought was a prayer meeting, of course, but when i flashed through some of the MYPG videos, i could'nt help but to agree that this simple prayer meeting, LYPG is gonna be the spark to everything. That we may see youths from all types of churches combining in one heart to pray for the nation, that youths today may be the difference makers to impact Msia today for a better tml. That the younger generation today would know where, truly, they belong to. When i flashed through bersatUNITED blog, the tag line totally captured my attention. "Though we are MANY, we are ONE body of CHRIST." AMen. !!!

. .

The crazy future ideas for KL PJ LYPG..
The meeting on the 17th was more into forming a fix committee i guess? we talked about the main line for publicity for KL PJ LYPG, which is this blog and facebook groups.. then i came out with crazy ideas of launching our own albums, and then annually conference(which existed i think*), and then own T-Shirt... yea i know its too early to say. I don't know which blessed dude said it, but he said, "COnsistency"Go on by pace, Amen, we must focus on our main objective that is to gather youths and pray as one heart. The options thoughts are just applicable after long term, or our focus would divert from God's WOrds.
. .

Prayer as the weapon
I believe LYPG doesnt have any form of crash courses like youth alpha joining in, but just one thing, prayer. Youths around churches might have programmes going all along, such as DUMC having DBS, and so happen that LYPG meetings emphasize prayer, so i think its a good combination of milo and nescafe (means they click la). Youths today need to realize the power of prayer, many of us could learn about the word and serve different ministry in churches, but if there isn't time for us to meditate what is GOd trying to lead us to, then it's still not glorifying God right? VISION' that's the word, that non stop prayer sessions would lead us to see face to face with God and know what HE wants us to do.

So cheer up sisters brothers! All Glory to His name! woohoo! Well i might be busy in Malacca with having troubles contact, but definitely, all Glory to God, i will give my best, and cant wait to see more ppl joining future LYPG! Our Family rocks! Save Msia!

out and away
