I am the Lead Pastor of Christ’s Commission Fellowship New Zealand (CCF NZ). , a satellite branch of CCF which began in the Philippines.
This is my personal blog. I hope it helps transform your life so you can make a difference in your world. I believe that genuine transformation begins by reprogramming the mind with the truth of God’s word.
Hence, this is my battle cry and conviction:
“reNEW your Mind to reCREATE your life”
I write through a biblical perspective. These would be from my personal quiet times, messages I’ve shared to others, and lessons I gained from various resources.
My goal for every blog post is to provide you with insights to help you be more:
FAITHFUL to God
FRUITFUL for God
I believe this goal can be attained when you continuously grow in 3 Key Relationships:
Relationship with God (UPWARD)
Relationship with Others (OUTWARD)
Relationship with Yourself (INWARD)
I typically write twice a week. I encourage you to reflect on the posts and write your comments to encourage other readers. I invite you to subscribe via email so you don’t miss any of my posts.
If you believe that this blog can help a person you know, kindly invite him/her to subscribe via email too. You can also be updated via my Facebook page and Twitter .
Overall, I pray that this blog brings glory to God alone. Let Him use this for His purposes.
About Me
God has shaped me by the people He has brought into my life, and the circumstances He has allowed me to encounter. This blog is intended to share to my readers those precious lessons (so you don’t commit the same mistakes!)
I have been with CCF since my teenage years. Over the last 25 years, I’ve been blessed to see personal and spiritual growth. I’ve experienced being a first timer, volunteer, events coordinator, Lay Leader, Youth Pastor, and now a Lead Pastor and Church Planter. It’s very humbling.
I have been mentored and surrounded by GODLY PEOPLE. I am thankful to my parents, Pastor Peter Tan-chi, and other pastors in and out of CCF. Conversations with them, their advise, and watching how they deal with various situations were priceless lessons no seminary could teach.
I’ve been blessed to attend various local, national and international CONFERENCES that gave me insight beyond my years. Reading articles, listening to podcasts and online materials have benefited me a lot. This has supported my continuous growth as a person and as a leader.
After graduating from Ateneo de Manila University, I worked in 3 multi-national corporations namely Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, and Coca-Cola. I served the Lord through CCF at the same time. This has helped me gain a perspective on living the Christian life in a corporate setting.
It has been a joy for me to be with my amazing wife Lei for the past 5 years. My two young daughters teach me to exercise the fruit of the Spirit more often. We live in Auckland, New Zealand.
During my free time, I enjoy playing basketball and listening to podcasts while exercising in the gym.
