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.

Shoebox Evangelism

Thank you for praying for the Operation Shoebox. On the first day, 13 kids were blessed with these gifts; and a good number of parents/ guarding joined-in to listen. Many were noticeably touched by the various ways the Good News was being presented.

Then last Saturday, another 41 children showed-up; and not only received the shoebox gifts, but also accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ. The kids were very expressive of their gratitude, as they came to understand that they were selected as a target of grace. Praise the Lord!

The next step is 10-weeks of follow-up discipleship classes for the kids that choose to grow more in God.

Zion wanted to be a part of the program; so he: led the opening prayer, recited "Scriptures from the heart", and joyfully passed out gift to the children -
