It was birthed out of a vision and continues to grow because of that vision. The “Organisation” of AYA, consisting of Kenneth Chin, the board of advisors & directors, his executive team and band of over 20 dedicated full-time workers, exist only to SERVE and facilitate that same vision as God sees fit to spread it across the neighbourhood of Subang, the nation of Malaysia and the nations beyond.

The Vision of ’94, as we affectionately call it, deeply impressed upon our hearts the plan of God for the imminent revival of the Church and the transformation of the nation of Malaysia, especially among and through the emerging generation(s). This vision, which later received a Scriptural promise from the Book of Joel Chapter 2 verse 12 onwards, first involves the “turning & returning” of believers back to their First Love and culminates with a missions emphasis and explosion.

Since 1999 we’ve given the vision a name (and a target): “DREAM Malaysia” (by 2020), and extended it to include a united vision for the Country as well (the Rukun Negara to begin with). The question DREAM Malaysia asks is “What kind of Church and Country do we want to see by the year 2020?” The latter may include thoughts like


Without doubt, these are all dreams we can definitely agree upon, regardless whether we are Christian or not. But “what must WE do to see this dream accomplished?” There’s obviously much work to be done but before WE can truly see a “transformed" Malaysia, WE must see a “reformed and revived" Church.

WE must lead the way!




If we would follow the sequence suggested by the Prophet Joel in Chapters 2 and 3, it would seem to me broadly that, DREAM Malaysia (for the Church) would include the picture of a

Christian (youth) revival
Where thousands will turn & return to God with radical faith to always live His principles, serve His purposes and fulfill His plans in and through their lives
[PRAYER]
Church restoration Where spiritual accuracy, authority, activeness ... and admiration will be restored to the Church like in the days of the Book of Acts
[PARTNERSHIP]
Community transformation

Where lives are guided by principles and lived with purpose, and communities are blessed as righteousness prevails over self- centredness, with multitudes responding to the love of Jesus and to the power of His Holy Spirit, bringing about real and lasting change for the good of all
[POWER]

Commission explosion

Where tens of thousands of young people will answer the call for missions, making Malaysia a mighty force that will effectively help to bring completion to the Great Commission
[PEOPLE GROUPS]



My belief is that this is the will of God for the emerging generation of Malaysia - which we at AYA and our faithful Partners, have been entrusted with - to inspire, instruct and and involve - until the fulfillment of all things. I believe God’s will shall be done and I believe WE are the generation to do it. I believe WE can do it together and I believe WE can do it now.

DREAM Malaysia isn’t owned by anyone and yet everyone can own it. The details have not yet been fully worked out and the (dream) team has not been fully formed. There is much room left for many more who share the same spirit and sight (vision) to come together and to build God’s Kingdom here in Malaysia! There is so much more we can achieve through the power of Partnership. It is our hope and goal to raise and link at least 10,000 Partners by the year 2010 and 100,000 by 2020.

DREAM Malaysia is a united vision especially for and by the emerging generation of this nation and we would like to hear what you have to say. It is vital that WE begin to detail and formulate what DREAM Malaysia is really going to look like and how it is going to get done. As mentioned above, it needs to begin with the Church and with this in mind I would like to start by opening up a (cyber or otherwise) dialogue with leaders and youth alike hoping that this will further lead to the building of strong and strategic friendships, networks and partnerships all across this nation and beyond, as the Lord so determines, for the sake of the Vision.
