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.

Making Space for More Kids to Worship God

He Makes All Things New : Renovating the Champion Kids' Hall

In recent years, the number of people attending the church in San Fernando has increased steadily. Even the Champion Kids have imbibed the 'inviting culture' of the church, bringing their parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and more kids to attend the services. It is our desire to see families worshiping together and growing in God's love.

Along with the Champion Kids' population increase, comes the need for a bigger venue to contain them. Right now, the Champion Kids' Hall is under renovation. One room (formerly called the David's Room) and one bathroom was torn down to create a bigger space for the kids worship hall and other activities.

An air-conditioning unit is being added, since the heat and smell had become simply unbearable. The Building and Facilities Team are working round-the-clock to finish the project, so that the children will enjoy services and Fun Sundays in a roomier, more comfortable, and safer place. Many have already contributed to make this plan come to fruition. Some have contributed materials, additional funds, and manpower.
