About Us

We believe that caring for our environment is a matter of right response to God, who is the creator of all things and to whom the earth belongs. We seek to be faithful stewards by working for the care and flourishing of His creation, recognising that the earth does not exist simply for human use, but for the glory of God.

We also believe that people and the environment cannot be treated as separate: we are all part of the community of creation. Accordingly, we affirm A Rocha’s vision of a world where nature flourishes as people live equitably and sustainably, and recognise the importance of community in caring for creation.

After A Rocha began expanding internationally in the mid-1990s, Malaysians started visiting projects in other countries. At the same time, A Rocha staff such as Peter Harris and Dave Bookless began visiting Southeast Asia to give talks and seminars at churches, Bible colleges, and conferences.

In 2023, a group of local Christians interested in starting an A Rocha organisation in Malaysia formed and began meeting regularly to explore what the role of A Rocha could be here. In 2026, three years of discussion and prayer later, we launched Creation Care Malaysia to translate those discussions into practical activity, seeking to uphold the A Rocha commitment to sound science and sound theology.

While we pursue formal registration as an independent not-for-profit legal entity, Creation Care Malaysia is operating as an initiative of Navigate Together Sdn Bhd.

In five years’ time, across Malaysia, our hope is that this work will lead to:

• A community of Christians who are committed to caring for God’s creation, spending time together, learning, and carrying out practical conservation activities,
• the teaching and appreciation of the theology of creation becoming part of the life of the church, and
• two to three sites which we are tangibly committed to and caring for.

1. We seek to ground everything we do in sound science and sound theology.
2. ⁠We are a nonprofit organisation: we work to enrich and care for God’s creation, the environment, rather than ourselves.
3. ⁠We are collaborative and affirmative: recognising the global crisis of biodiversity loss, we seek to respond in hope with positive action, looking toward what can be done.
