mMYPG Report (Participants)

From the attendee’s view

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.”

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.
