Here's my testimony regarding to why SMK USJ 4 should have a CF(Christian Fellowship) so hear me out.

Firstly, CF is not just all about fun or just a bunch of people wanting to do wild things to create more havoc in this school or maybe even showing off or compete with other religions. Nope. Don't get us wrong. But instead, we are a group of people wanting to make a change in this school, this community, this country this world.

Don't you just get sick and tired of listening to all of these news broadcasters talking about the crimes from different countries? You may think that "Nah, Malaysia is not that bad. We haven't got people shooting aimlessly in schools, or people throwing shoes at presidents while they speak in live television, or even suicide bombers in our midst." Yeah, we do not have these serious cases, yet. This world has became to be so dangerous and sick within just 40 years time. How long more do we expect this world to last? We've got no more time to spare! We need a change in this country, in this world NOW!

This is when cf steps on. "Haha, very funny", you might think. How can such a small group of people or maybe even school make a difference in this world? Okay, maybe we will aim smaller. How about one person? Can cf change someone's life? Of course it can. Every single person is personally made from God and He is perfect. Thus, making everybody unique and having a purpose in life.

Teachers often say that we must learn from young, but anybody can change at any age. Teenagers are now at the stage where they need to learn to be more independent, this is when they have to make their own decisions. Cf is a place where they can discuss about their personal problems and the members will be able to help each other. Cf is a place where we bring in Bible teachings which can be applied to anyone to help us stay away from sinful temptations. Cf is a place where we will be able to change someone's heart from evil to good. This is when the disciplinary problems faced by SMK USJ 4 will be lessened. We will be able to do community services and help serve the school and make it a better place for students if you allow us to. All we need is approval for it to be official. These are not just sweet talks where once you agree to let us be official then we start pulling away from our promises to help you make this school a better place. We are people who keep their promises. Believe us.

You must be thinking, "Cheh, say until so grand. Why can't the parents just bring their children to churches and educate them there?" That's the thing. Parents bring their churches or temples or masjids, hoping that it will bring good influences to them. The problem is, that's not their choice to go, but their parents. It's different. Some kids feel that they are forced to go and they will slowly lose interested. Cf is different. Students come and go as they wish. If they are willing to come, means they have that passion for change, for a difference. It will affect them differently. They will be able to experience God's love individually and the impact will be stronger. This is what Malaysia needs. A passion to look out for God, not just Jesus, But Allah and Buddha too, as all religions bring us good, not harm. So it is concluded that cf really does transform people's lives.

Besides that, people from ages 13-17 will be able to continue doing all these activities with us. This will be able to create close bonds between each other and get to know each other more. Hey, what is school without friends right? School will no longer be some boring place to study and score 8A's in PMR or 10A1's in SPM, but also a place to develop social skills for our future. With students attending cf, at least you know that they are mixing with the right crowd. This will also lessen the cases of students smoking, ponteng etc. If you are skeptical about us giving good influences, perhaps you can join us to check out what it's like I mean, why not?

Apart from that, having an official cf in SMK USJ 4 will attract more students to come too. Did you know some parents send their children to schools with official cfs like SMK Subang Utama, SMK Seafield and SMK Damansara Jaya? So cf is really awesome and you can expect great things from us. All we need is approval and time to prove our capability to improve this school.

What I'm trying to say is, cf can do so much more with your approval and support. Help us help you.

Thank you for your time. Hope that you'll take time to consider this important matter. I write from my personal experience sincerely. God bless you.
