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.

Christ's Love Reaches Even In Typhoon Floods

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works AND GIVE GLORY TO YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN." (Matthew 5:16)  Typhoons have ravaged the Philippines in ways that has put this country on the map. Not a great way to gain recognition; but yes, we have had our taste of natures' so-called 'wrath'.  But in the midst of it all, God has blessed the Filipinos with the gift of resilience. To quote an online newsclip, "When the world looks at the Philippines, they won't just remember the worst typhoon to hit the earth---they will recall how strong Filipinos are, too."    Those who suffer loss and grief all need a glimpse, a taste, an encounter with God especially during times like these where all we see is hopelessness and despair. That is why Jesus commanded us to be salt and light. "You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world...be generous with your lives. By openi...

Being Like Little Children

Be Like Children But Jesus said,  “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”   (Matthew 19:14) The qualities of a child---pure, simple, obedient.  This childlike faith that God requires of us does not demand an age bracket, but an attitude.  The reason why He says "of such" and not "of these" is that He is referring to the disposition and character, and not the age.   Like children we ought to be---harmless, free from malice and delusions, free from pride and self-conceit.  With pure, trusting hearts, let us rest in His love just like these children. They know their place in God's heart.  Meeting with the church is a safe, positive, and encouraging environment.  These little children just lying down on the Worship Hall floors while worship is going on is a testament to that.

From Captive to Free

From Captive to Captivated "The Spirit of the Lord  God  is upon me, because the  Lord  has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound." (Isaiah 61:1) Being a captive is not just physical. It is one thing to be held behind prison bars. It is another thing to be imprisoned emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.  Either way, you are being captured, taken hold of, bound, and in shackles against your will. In visiting with the inmates of the La Union Provincial Jail, my heart personally melted and broke in several pieces. I did not see people who were restricted from the outside world. I saw broken men and women in need of the Truth. Here are people who have not seen their loved ones for a long time. Here are people who are experiencing self-condemnation because of wrong choices. Here are ...
