Bambi is pregnant and is starting to "show"; so we are already speaking audibly to our child.
We are praying everyday for a joyful, healthy baby; and that he will become a born-again Christian at a very early age, and grow up to serve God's purposes.
Thank you for your support and fervent prayers; God is really moving.

They are making an amazing impact in the City of San Fernando.
Please read all the interesting and encouraging posts on their missions blog, especially their impressions of the Filipino people:

Happy New Year
Allow me to be one of the last to greet you a Happy New Year!
2009 was an incredible year of growth in so many ways for Bambi and I.
By God's grace, our mission work in the Philippines is prospering and expanding. I'm convinced there is nothing God cannot (and will not) do to fulfill His cause.
We will be visiting Texas starting the last week of January; and hope to share with you more.
We are praying for you:
- Excellent health, relationships,work, finances, and an intimate walk with Christ for 2010.

Mission pics with captions
Bambi & I just wanted to share with you a few pictures, on the scene in the Philippines.
We celebrate Thanksgiving (minus turkey) by praying with praise and gratitude to God for you, and your generous partnership with us in reaching the lost in the Philippines.
Souls are being saved. Lives are changing by the power of Christ.

Devastating Floods
A typhoon hit the Philippines Saturday. While Bambi and I were training small group leaders, we learned that a state of calamity was declared in our province and beyond. We prayed for good weather so it wouldn't hinder the congregations from arriving for worship on Sunday.
No winds - no rains. Not a drop of rain fell in our city all weekend. Manila on the other hand, got 13.4 inches in just 6 hours. Parts of the city were under water up to the 2nd floor of buildings; and people's cars were floating away like sticks of driftwood.
All of us were stunned by the devastation; but at the same time, we are so thankful that God answered our prayers, and we were spared. God has been so good to us, and we praise Him for the amazing kindness.
Thank you also for continually covering us in prayer.

Going to the Unreached Peoples
Hi,
Please agree with Bambi and I as we intensify the focus and urgency on bringing hope for salvation to the unreached peoples of the Philippines.
16 different mission teams from our congregation are penetrating various communities each and every week with the love and gospel of Christ. Even Muslims households are now being reached; and many barriers are coming down.
Please pray for open and receptive hearts; so that they will trust Jesus and be saved.
Yours in Christ,
Timothy & Bambi Warden

Filipino church growing fruitful & strong
When I first planted the church in San Fernando, I could hardly leave for a few weeks without coming back to "put out fires" and "clean up" the spiritual mess. New Christians could be found arguing and hurting each other, causing all sorts of discord and strife.
The situation is totally different today. When Bambi and I returned from being out for a number of weeks, we saw nothing but maturity and strength; as believers keep the unity of the Spirit, and a clear focus on the mission "to honor God and deliver His benefits".
For example:
New people have since been taught the gospel and baptized
Mission teams have multiplied (from 10 to 16 villages)
People gathering for soaking and prayer together, for the church and the lost in our community
Extended times of worship
New home cell group leaders trained and empowered
There is an amazing outpouring of enabling grace to carry out the Great Commission that Jesus has assigned to us in the Philippines. Thank you for your support, prayers and encouragement. To God be the glory for the things He has done.
