Quick Update

About All The World Mission Network Timothy and Bambi Warden have served in the Philippines for more than 25 years. By God’s grace, they planted a life-giving local church that raises and releases committed Filipino leaders. They also care for abused, abandoned, and neglected children through the Make Kids Smile Foundation. Through the years, they have stayed faithful to God’s leading, and He is now guiding them to enlarge their capacity for the opportunities ahead. They established Champions Academy, a government-accredited Christian school serving Pre-K to Grade 10. From a humble start of four pupils, the school now serves 350+ students, providing strong academics and practical life skills. They also developed the Champions Center, a 1,500-seat multipurpose venue for worship, community events, and recreation. It regularly hosts training conferences, trade fairs, graduation ceremonies, weddings, civic events, and more. One remarkable story: a former strip club at the gateway of the city’s red-light district was turned over to the Wardens after the owner came to Christ. It is now the Champions Center East facility, hosting worship services, youth nights, and wholesome community events—a “Bright Light” in the district. The church family in San Fernando, La Union gathers for weekend, family-friendly services on two campuses, east and west. Throughout the week, small groups gather in homes, schools, and workplaces. A simple Acts 2 rhythm of worship, Word, fellowship, and daily application of the Scriptures - keeps evangelism and discipleship as the everyday priority and focus.

Another Opportunity to Save Souls

The Suji San Sung Church of South Korea headed by Kyu Sik Hwang visited San Fernando City. More than 60 delegates comprised the cast and crew members of their mission trip. People trooped to the city sports complex to watch various Korean cultural dances. Korean martial arts demonstration, and Korean pop dances. The highlight of the program was the praise and worship. To the delight of many, the Koreans sang popular Filipino worship songs.

There was a short word from the main speaker in Korean, translated into Filipino. A lot of people came forward to ask for prayers. Indeed, the need for the Lord is so great. We have to seize every opportunity to let the people know that there IS hope.

The San Fernando Christian Community seized that opportunity. The tickets available were put to good use by means of inviting those who have yet to hear the Good News of salvation. Families from the mission areas were invited and brought to the event. They thoroughly enjoyed the show; but more than that, they came to know the love of Christ. The Bible tells us to "make the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." (Eph. 5:16) There is still a lot to be done; and the workers are few. Let every move we make be purpose-driven. Make every step be towards winning souls.
