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.

Last February 17, 2014, Monday, the San Fernando Christian Community facilitated the People Puzzle Workshop with the PNP Regional officers as participants. Fun team-building games led by R-jay dela Cruz served as ice breakers. After that, practical and relevant leadership sessions ensued. Rhudalyn Bumachi discussed the maximization of strengths and minimization of weaknesses. Kris Eryk Bartolome facilitated the people puzzle survey and presented the different strengths and weaknesses of each personality type. Timothy Warden discussed how to adjust with the different personality styles. Add to that, He presented the leadership style of Jesus and how he was able to relate with all types of people.

Inspector Apollo states that the workshop gave him helpful tips on how to adjust not just to the people he commands but also to the people he interacts with daily. He claims it has equipped him with self-control as he tries to understand and adjust to the unique personality of each person.

Police Chief Inspector Cabanayan admits he has a temper and expects everyone to heed his commands---from his wife down to his work subordinates. But upon learning useful facts from the People Puzzle Workshop, he believes that it will be to his advantage if he applies them. He states that it will not only benefit him but also the people around him. He also aims to be a good influence as a leader and teach those under him to make a difference and be willing to rectify wrong thinking about leadership.

It always helps to break the ice. Everyone loves good, clean fun.

Another team-building game. Different personalities surface when put under a challenge.

Tim Warden presented the best leadership style of all---that of Jesus.
