Chin Up Show

Thirty months. A research defense that nearly gave him a panic attack. A thesis built on tragedy, transformation, and 14 real-life testimonies that moved the examiner in the room to tears. In this episode, Pr Kenneth Chin pulls back the curtain on what it actually took to earn his Doctor of Business Administration — the sleepless nights, the crushing feedback, the moment he turned his pre-viva anxiety into a worship session, and the two-minute deliberation that changed everything. It’s an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what obedience to a God-given nudge can actually cost you — and what it can produce.

What started from the loss of his sister became the foundation of a life’s mission — and eventually, the beating heart of a doctoral thesis that found its way into academic halls and touched lives no one saw coming. This is a testimony of how good God truly is: that grief doesn’t have to be the end of the story, and that He can take the hardest chapters of your life and turn them into something that changes others. Season 4 of Chin Up is here — recording from Bintulu, Sarawak, with a fresh format and new angles, but the same heart: to encourage you, equip you, and run alongside you in whatever God has called you to.

It was meant to be a five-minute video about AYA's history. An hour later, we were still recording. In this Chin Up Show Special, Pr Kenneth Chin shares the extraordinary story of AYA (Asian Youth Ambassadors)—born from a vision he received in 1994 of a darkened map of Malaysia catching fire, one spark at a time. Funded by faith through ang pow gifts from his own wedding, AYA exploded into a movement that saw three thousand young people encounter Jesus and commit to follow Him. But when the Lord asked for disciples, not just decisions, everything shifted.

In 2000, Acts Church was birthed and AYA stepped back. Now, two decades later, Pr Kenneth believes it's AYA's hour again—through the launching of AYA Borneo. He's calling Acts Church to dream bigger than herself and partner with AYA for the next chapter of revival and revolution across the nation. Watch as Pr Kenneth unpacks this pivotal season and what God is calling the body of Christ to do. Asian Youth 

Ambassadors (AYA) was founded in 1995 by Kenneth and Sandra Chin to reach the world of youth, and the world through youth, with the message of revival and the mission of revolution.

In the grand finale of Chin Up Show Season 3, Pr Kenneth Chin shares an inspiring recap of his transformative trip to the UK alongside Pr Sandra Chin. From immersing in the vibrant Acts Churches scattered across the UK, to the unifying Acts Europe Getaway and the deep-dive Leaders Overnighter, they cherished every connection—especially the heartfelt catch-ups with church leaders and church-plant coordinators. Pr Kenneth reflects on the faces, the breakthroughs, and the profound spiritual momentum that fueled these encounters like the Apostle Paul's model in Acts which are journeys of encouragement, fortification, and unity—embodying presence, partnership, and unyielding perseverance in God's global mission.

Looking ahead, Pr Kenneth unpacks fresh leadership insights sparked by raw, real conversations on the road, while reigniting the visionary spark of DREAM Schools (DreamS) for the next generation. This episode isn't just a wrap-up—it's a bold invitation: Dream bigger, press on stronger, and build as one unstoppable movement spanning nations. We are grateful for your companionship through Season 3—here's to the D.R.E.A.M. alive and thriving. Keep your Chin up! Catch you in Season 4.

In this special episode of the Chin Up Show, Pr Kenneth Chin and Pr Sandra Chin sit down in an intimate and faith-filled conversation with our Lead Pastors in the UK, Pr David Yeow and Pr Katherine. From their life and love story to their journey of obedience, this episode offers a rare look into how God confirms a call, births a vision, and sustains a work in a foreign land. 

Pr David and Pr Katherine shared the preparations required to move to London, and the early challenges they faced as they stepped into the unknown — holding tightly to God’s voice and guidance every step of the way. You’ll hear honest reflections on overcoming discouragement, the cycle of church plants and the spiritual and emotional cost of building God’s house.

In this special episode of the Chin Up Show, Pr Kenneth Chin reflects on a recent strategic and spiritually significant retreat with Pr Palan Ramasamy (and his wife, Surya), Pr Sam Surendran (and his wife, Susie) and Pr Sandra Chin. 

Together, these leaders sought the Lord for clarity, direction, and unity concerning the future of DREAM Malaysia 2.0. Pr Kenneth shares what happened during the retreat — the conversations, the confirmations, and the renewed sense of urgency for the next phase of this national vision. This behind-the-scenes look reveals how God is shaping the future of the movement and preparing the Malaysian Church for a greater work ahead.

Pr Kenneth also shares what we can expect for DREAM Malaysia in 2026 — new initiatives, expanded partnerships, and a stronger call for unity across churches, generations, and regions. And the question now is simple: Will you join the vision and be part of DREAM Malaysia 2.0?

After visiting our missionaries and church planters in Osaka, Japan, Pr Kenneth Chin and Pr Sandra Chin return with a renewed conviction about the true heart of missions. In this episode of the Chin Up Show, Pr Kenneth shares why missions are essential to our Christian faith — not an option, but a calling. 

He reflects on his time with Pr Ben-ji and Pr Michelle of Acts Osaka, drawing powerful lessons about obedience, sacrifice, and the continual relevance of the Great Commission. Missions is more than traveling or doing good works; it is about answering God’s call to bring the Gospel to every nation, culture, and generation.

Pr Kenneth also provides practical guidance on how believers can prepare for mission trips — spiritually, emotionally, and relationally — and what we should do when we’re on the field. The world is waiting, and the Church must go. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19).

In this special on-location episode, Pr Kenneth Chin and Pr Sandra Chin travel to Osaka, Japan, to visit missionaries and church planters Pr Ben-ji and Pr Michelle — the pioneering couple behind Acts Osaka. 🇯🇵🇲🇾

What began as a simple prompting from God in Malaysia has grown into a living testimony of faith and obedience in Japan. In this heartfelt conversation, they talk about how Acts Osaka was birthed, the early struggles of planting a church in a foreign land, and the miracles that have sustained them through every season.

Tying it back to the vision of DREAM Malaysia, this episode explores how the dream God gave for Malaysia’s unity and revival is now overflowing beyond our shores — into Asia and the nations. It’s a story of how a dream can travel, multiply, and take root wherever hearts are willing to say “yes.”

In this inspiring episode, Pr Kenneth Chin continues to unpack the unfolding story of DREAM Malaysia — tracing the milestones, movements, and ministries that have brought this God-given vision to life over the past two decades. 🇲🇾

From the first DREAM Conference in 2002, to the DREAM Malaysia Father’s Meetings, and now the Father’s Training, this episode chronicles how Acts Church, AYA (Asian Youth Ambassadors), and faithful partners across the nation have contributed to this united dream — a Malaysia transformed by Christ through discipleship, revival, evangelism, action, and missions. 

What began as a divine download has become a generational movement — where the fathers of the Malaysian Church are now training and empowering the next generation of pastors and leaders. It’s a powerful picture of spiritual inheritance: not the old church versus the young church, but fathers and sons building together for the sake of the Kingdom.

In this stirring continuation, Pr Kenneth Chin unpacks the Vision of DREAM Malaysia — a divine blueprint God gave for the unity, revival, and transformation of our nation.

DREAM Malaysia is not just another event or ministry; it’s a prophetic call for the Church in Malaysia to rise, unite, and reach our generation for Christ. 🇲🇾

Malaysia needs to be reached for Jesus — every single person, especially the emerging generation. They deserve a clear chance to hear the Gospel, to encounter radical social transformation, and to witness the fall of corruption and moral decay in our land.

This is a vision for the Church that is coming of age — the one once regarded “too young to say anything,” but now ready to take its place in leadership. DREAM Malaysia isn’t about the old church versus the young church — it’s about tomorrow’s church rising to face tomorrow’s challenges and to fulfill the Great Commission in a world increasingly hostile to Christianity.
