Welcome to our 51st General Council Meeting

THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD!

It’s been sometime since we all gather on a national level. The last time was our Ministers Retreat in March 2015, besides some other smaller gatherings in between.

This General Council will be a very important watershed moment for us. After more than 3 years of envisioning, praying, planning, discussing, the Constitution Review Task Force is now ready to table the new constitution for your endorsement.

Although I and the Exco were not directly driving the review, l’m happy that the distinctiveness that have made us who we are and define us as a Fellowship had remained unchanged. However, neither are the changes merely cosmetic. I believe these changes will propel us to greater heights of effectiveness and efficiency by providing us a broader representation and new level of leadership empowerment.

This new constitution, although in no way perfect, will definitely provide the Assemblies of God of Malaysia a new template and great opportunity for us to engage in more effective conversations to make further changes in the future. For now, let us take, “THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD!”

The strength of our Fellowship has always been people like you who chooses to relate to one another. This is a Family Gathering. Although we all come with different backgrounds and from different parts of Malaysia (and some from overseas), we are all the same, serving where the Lord has placed us and doing our best with what is available.

It is my hope that in the midst of all the business considerations, we will find time to pray and minister to each other. Ask God to use you to touch someone in a special way so that this General Council will be memorable to him or her.

I look forward to seeing all of you as we together take “THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD!”

Yours Sincerely,


Rev. Ong Sek Leang

General Superintendent

Message From Chief Coordinator

Choice greetings in Jesus’ name!

I write with a great sense of anticipation that we will be gathering again for our 51^st General Council Meeting from 30^th May – 2^nd June 2016. It’s always inspiring to know that we are part of a great family and are not alone in the work of God. One can do much but together we can do more!

This Council Meeting is also historic. In addition to spiritual inspiration and great fellowship, the Constitution Review Task Force will be tabling our new constitution for adoption. This has taken more than 3 years in the making. The Task Force has travelled throughout the country at least twice, listening to your views. We have also discussed at national events like General Councils and Minister Retreats. Though it’s not possible to accommodate every viewpoint, we are confident that this final draft represents the broad consensus of our fellowship. No man-made document is perfect but we believe this is a timely start that positions us for greater things. Any weakness discovered during implementation can always be rectified through amendments in the future. The immediate impact will be that of seeing the greater involvement of the language divisions and also the empowerment of a wider leadership base for our movement.

Besides business, let’s expect a fresh touch and direction from the Holy Spirit. In line with our theme “Together we…”, let’s come prepared to receive as well as give encouragement. God can work even at the corridors and meal tables.

Details are also available in our special blog site, 51stgeneralcouncilag.blogspot.com where we will add the latest announcements from time to time.

In view of the new election process spelled out in the new constitution, it is highly important you register early with all requested details so we can plan for a smooth process. Please act immediately to take full advantage of the early bird rate which ends on 25^th April 2016 at 5pm. After 16^th May 2016, you will have to pay the highest fee of RM110 eventhough meals and handouts are no longer guaranteed.

Until we see you then, may God’s richest blessings be on you and yours.  

Yours faithfully,

Rev. Ronnie Chin

Assistant General Superintendent
