Huge Turnout for Pre-Encounter Class

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.

Huge Turnout for Pre-Encounter Class

From a measly headcount of 4 registrants, the pre-encounter participants ballooned to a total of 82 in a matter of days! Truly, God is moving to consolidate the church and to make each member not just a member but as a leader and a game-changer.

The network and cell group leaders were really inspired to do whatever it takes to get everyone in their network to join the pre-encounter. Eager participants were also proactive and came up with ways to produce the required registration fee.

R-jay dela Cruz's network sold 'taho' in between the Sunday services. Joana Imperial's network sold 'lumpia'. Those who could afford it paid for their network members.

It was such an encouraging and festive atmosphere that Sunday. Victory is evident as the participants attended their first lesson that will truly change their lives. Nobody who has ever gone through an encounter with God will ever be the same again.
