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.

Single-Parenting Seminar at the Police Camp

The Philippine National Police-Regional Office 1 invited us to conduct a number of spiritual enrichment seminars on various topics which cater to specific needs or problem areas they are having. The first seminar was conducted on July 26 and focused on the issues of single parenthood. Vikki opened the seminar with her personal testimony about battling with the stigma of being a single mom, and how she raised her child with God as her partner. Tim shared a message about dependence solely on god and not on man. Our validation should only come from God, and no one else. He also shared that God's relationship with us is personal and customized. One single mom with a 5-month old baby was brought to tears. She laments the dreariness of her situation; but with the message brought by the SFCC team, she has new hope that God will turn it around.
