"Owe no one anything except love one another for
he who loves another has fulfilled the law" -Romans 13:8
What is it? IN a nutshell...
Recess Revolution is a movement/mobilization of young people who are maximizing "recess time" ("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)!
Do Something??
"Doing something" can include:-
- Just bringing your Bibles to school; displaying it,carrying it around
- Studying Bible heroes or hold meaningful conversations at recess
- Gathering at the flagpole or a selected location to pray, or gathering all the Christians at the school field just to see how many there are!
- Doing random acts of kindness for peers or teachers!
- and many more!
Sometimes it can also mean NOT doing something: non-action or non-compliance, especially when temptation to comply with unrighteous or ungodly policies kick in!
While you will find many helpful guidelines, materials, and even weekly/monthly "assignments" that you can adopt, from this website, on how you can run "Recess Revolution" in your schools... Please also be free to explore and experiment even as the Holy Spirit leads you to do whats relevant and impactful for your school!
How? About the tagline:
SHOW UP. STAND UP. SPEAK UP.
SHOW UP!
- first of all, you need to "show up" in school! Don't ponteng (unnecessarily!) :)
- It's the least and simplest thing you can do! Being there counts! Numbers sometimes reflects strength!
...When theres a gathering of Christians - SHOW UP!
...When there's a Bible Study at the canteen - SHOW UP!
...When there's a call for prayer - SHOW UP!
STAND UP!
- Stand for something, especially for what is right. Someone once said, "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything"
- Rise up, and not back down. Lift up the standards (of God)- somebody needs to do it!
- For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a soound mind! Not fear, but FAITH!
- Stand up to the giants of the day - and with the Holy Spirit's help, overcome!
- Be bold and proud of who you are - you are a Christian, a Disciple of Christ, a child of God, more than conqueror, and the list goes on!
SPEAK UP!
Make a statement, and when necessary use words!
