I'm a freak on improving my leadership knowledge and skills these days. I guess demands at work, the
church in Makati where I'm involved with and family are reasons behind this. This week, I'm going to share with you leaders that I admire and how they have created an impact in my life. It is my hope that you'll learn from them, too, through this week's series of posts.

Peter Tanchi 
Who is he? Peter Tanchi is the founder and senior pastor of
Christ's Commission Fellowship. This organization has grown from a few friends meeting at their garage in the early '80s to thousands of members today. He is a great, engaging public speaker and a very strong, passionate leader.
How has he created an impact in my life? During that time I consider as my personal "grace awakening" sometime 2001, CCF was my haven. In that time of pain and confusion as I break away from my religious heritage, Pastor Tanchi provided answers and inspiration. When I was ministering to
Joy, I brought her to CCF. Peter Tanchi was one of those that God used as she gave her life to Jesus.
What I learned from him? While planning for birthing Grace Place, we would usually attend his seminars. I will never ever forget this one principle I learned from him:
The kingdom mentality principle. He said that (in the context of the church), knowledge is never meant to be kept rather it should be shared. In the midst of the diversity among Christian churches, he also reminded us that "we're on the same kingdom, on the same team. We should work together in expanding the reign of God in this earth". As a result, even if we are not part of the CCF network, he provided free resources (something that they built through the years), free seminars, and even invited us to see how they do things hands on. This same principle is what I'm using as I lead
my team at work and as part of the leadership of
Grace Place.
