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.

It didn't take a village to move that thing. It just took availability and commitment.

Expanding Territory

Expanding Territory San Fernando Christian Community, also popularly known as the Champions Center, is currently undergoing an expansion of its grounds. This is to make room for the increasing number of attendees who come during the various services scattered throughout the week. Aside from the services, another well-attended activity is the fellowship with one another. This is usually held at the courtyard. The jam-packed courtyard before and after the service After the services, members and guests get to know more about one another and simply talk.

Everyone is well-accommodated, accepted, and loved. It is a comfortable atmosphere that is safe, positive, and encouraging. It truly is a body where Christ is the head.

Soaking in the presence of God

Soaking Night---Ushering Us Into the Presence of God Saturday, 02 November 2013 Soaking Night Every first Saturday of every month is Soaking Night---a night we dedicate to praising and communing with the Father. It is a night packed with singing worship songs and just focusing on God's goodness and majesty. When we worship, we become aware of God's presence. All focus on our problems, on our excess baggage , and on ourselves just melt away. It was a meaningful and eventful night. So many first-timers responded to the altar call and readily accepted Christ in their hearts. Luke 15:7 states that "there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." Truly, it was a night of great rejoicing. "Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song." (Psalm 95:2) " He...

Water Baptism - Salvation through Christ

Water Baptism: A Public Declaration Water baptism is a public declaration of our faith in Jesus. It is acknowledging the cleansing power of Jesus' blood over our sins. In the process of going down into and up out of the water, the believer identifies with Christs's death, burial, and resurrection. On Baptism Sunday, ten believers underwent water baptism. Most of the participants have just recently undergone the Encounter God Weekend. They were more than eager to proclaim their new-found faith in Jesus. All were excited to make an outward expression of the inward miracle. Janet Gallardo, a mother of two, states that through her baptism, "Nakabaon na yung dating ako. Isa na akong bagong nilalang!" Janine Urbi, a young working adult, says, "Yun na lang kasi yung kulang. " She has undergone the Pre-encounter and Encounter God Weekend, and she feels that she wants to publicly confirm that, "Is...

Graduation is Just the Beginning

Academy Graduation---Reaching New Heights Sunday, 4 pm It was a momentous occasion. Excitement was in the air. Everyone was in their Sunday best. The participants of the Pre-encounter, Encounter, and Post-encounter were about to be given recognition for successfully finishing their respective sessions. It was an authentic celebration, with the Post-encounter graduates wearing togas and diplomas being awarded to the graduates. Certificates for excellence were also awarded to those who finished the course with flying colors. But the awards, the frills, and the fanfare---those were not as important as the outcome that was achieved through the PEPSOL sessions. What was really celebrated was the breakthroughs, the brokenness, the changed lives. John Mark Gallano and Emiric Lubian, both abandoned by their fathers, stood up and boldly shared their testimonies about how they were able to release forgiveness to their fat...
