Battle Log

The Battle Log is the place where reports from each of the Operation 513 evangelism teams are posted.

It gives you a brief idea about what occurred during the outreach and some of the highlights.

Even though there is not a report from each team on the Battle Log every week, all these teams do meet according to the schedule (usually weekly).

So please keep them in prayer and consider joining one if it is in your area.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday January 28, 2026 from 1030-1130

Today I served solo initially and joined by Ann a bit later. I went for for some personal matter for a short moment and Ann who came late spotted another lady doing the same for a short while and left.

It anyway was a normal day with good chat opportunity. The stand out one was with Kevin a high school boy with parents from Iraq what what surprised me was that they are a Christian family of 4 generation dated back in Iraq. He has good level of biblical knowledge but still failed to have accurate understanding of God's holistic salvation. As a result, he was tested without assurance of salvation. God allowed long time for me to drill him on the full scope of salvation. I also learned that their family are now worshiping at a Lebanon Christian church near Garden City which is a culturally near neighbor church for them. Does it implies that there is no Iraq background Christian church here. Anyway, God is the one who elect and called His chosen people to reconnect with Him in way and method beyond our imagination. We just need to faithfully proclaim the gospel to whoever people of all nations that God led us to meet in our day in day out open air street outreach.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday Jan 27, 2026 from 1030-1200.

Today I went solo but of course with the presence of God led by the Spirit. It was all smooth sailing with all people entering into a very interactive and fruit bearing chat especially with the two no believers that they all Amen to the conclusion that as a good but not perfect persons, we all need Jesus to shoulder the punishment of our sin and made us a person with perfectly no more sin records in Gid eyes. The Christian lady also thanks for my clarification to help her have 100% assurance of salvation. The power of the true gospel is great, All glory be to God.

As a side issue, I encounter special operations on the street by the police and other council workers. I a sense our gospel outreach is also kind of special Kingdom operation that is good for the society.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday January 21, 2026 from 1030-1130

To day was the last day Johnny can join the Sunnybank Team before he is to be away for a while. And we had all the four regular and committed gospel warriors teaming up here in His strength.

Edwin , as usual, was good at swiping through the floor to cover almost every one without a moment of hesitation and delay.

We also had many good divine appointments with all sorts to gospel targets. In my case, it includes those we have chatted many times and initially did not want to chat but the Spirit moved him to allow me to follow up and render my words of encouragement to keep pursuing as led by the Spirit. There was people whom I never have a chat before but actually has been watching us quietly at this bus stop and showing appreciation and good wish for the work we have been doing. I also caught up with a lady who is born in Australia but is of atheist background yet ending up admitting that gospel message is all logical, rational and trustworthy. I encourage here to make her own decision and seek further help from Power to Change. God is good and is sovereign in deciding the timing of the conversion of His elected people.

At the end, God also used a Serbia Christian lady and her grand son to encourage us while I also encourage her grand son to develop his interest and skill in both academic work and sport but both for God's glory sake.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday Jan 20, 2026 from 1030-1200.

This was the 2nd last day Johnny can team up with me before he will be away for a period of time. It is an ordinary day or normal circumstances of street outreach with more jr less the same rate of rejection and successful chat. No matter what, each and every encounter is still a divine appointment that Gid created with a plan and purpose for both the preacher and the gospel targets.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday Jan 13, 2026 from 1030-1200.

Today I went to Toowong for street outreach on my own. The response in general was not good. I faced consecutive unwilling targets for chart if not blunt rejection. For a few who chatted with reluctance, it all ended prematurely with all sorts of excuses.

Nevertheless, I still have peace to accept this as part of the plan and will of God to let me experience for the growth of my faith in trusting Him always whether in good time or hardship.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday January 14, 2026 from 1030-1130

Today we served with joy and oneness with 3 of the most long serving team mates namely Johnny, Ann and Hung all turning up. The three of us also spent sometime in exchanging biblical teaching on outreach and end time life style and commitment.

I still encounter spiritual winter facing most rejection but ending with some meaningful discussion with a Catholic background Christian who typically lack of assurance of salvation.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday January 7, 2026 from 1030-1130

This was the first day of Street Outreach that was resumed at Sunnybank Plaza Public Bus stop. Both Edwin and Johnny was occupied with their church home group ministry, so Hung was doing solo on this first new year opening outreach ministry. Since I had to catch up with another Street outreach organized by Limei of BOL, I did a shorter hours at Sunnybank but still was able to have a good chat with a senior local Aussie of French origin. He was of Catholic background but he on the one hand got the 2nd question right knowing that it is sola Christ and by grace through faith in Jesus sufficient and effective redemptive work dying on the cross to take our place to receive the wrath of God on our sin. But for the first Question, he was still confused by the fact that we are not yet perfect despise we already received Christ thus he has no assurance of salvation by 100%. It was because he lacks the understanding that God's salvation plan to deliver us is in three fold or by three stage i.e. the past, the present and the future. Past referring to the occasion of conversion to receive Christ which is an event. It set us free from the effect of sin rendering sinner all having been disqualified from the Citizenship of the Heavenly Kingdom but by His redemptive grace, our sin are pardons and set to zero as such our long lost heavenly citizenship can immediately be restored and that we all have reconciled with God even before our life substance is transformed back to perfect. This belongs to the 2nd stage of God's present grace of Sanctification that is to be carrying out over a period of time or throughout our life journey. The future grace is even our body will be changed back to the original glorious status that will live for ever without death or sickness. I anyway thank God for guiding me to have such extensive and comprehensive sharing with a Catholic background Christian who is humble enough to allow the light if truth be shed on him.

I anyway caught the bus 140 at 1200 to go to the CBD to meet the next outreach ministry organized by BOL at around 1300-1400.

Toowong (QLD) Team

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday Jan 6, 2026 from 1030-1200.

Today Johnny and Hung teamed up at Toowong to start a new year of street outreach in 2026. Although it is still term break time with not many UQ students attending class, we both were given enough divine appointments to share the gospel to peopel of all Nations. Hung in particular was eld to have chat to mainly Indian to day. One was even an old target who still remember my face and what I shares. Today , I just reinforce on the need that all human who admit no one is perfect then it is established that every one is disqualified from regaining heavenly citizenship unless with the help of Jesus. In general all people of other religions showed openness and receptiveness to the gospel message.

Christchurch (NZ) Team

Happy New Year!  This report is for December 2025

 

Two things that stood out to me for December:

 

1) Christmas tracts are popular!  I reckon I gave away 10 Christmas tracts when I would normally give away 1.  I had this funny situation where a lady came round the corner.  I was holding out a tract, and she raised her hand to refuse it.  But before she did I said “Merry Christmas”, instantly she lowered her hand to receive it instead of rejecting it.  There is just something about Christmas!

 

2) Boxing day is still a great day for giving away tracts.  Martin joined me again this year, and we spent 2 hours at Riccarton and 2 hours in the city.  I think I gave away 4 or 5 hundred Christmas tracts in that time.

 

Oh well, the Christmas tracts have been put away for another year.

 

After a short holiday, I got back to the streets yesterday.  I spent an hour in Riccarton.  I was on my own, so I decided to take my flip chart along.

 

Before I had even finished setting it up, I was into my first chat with a group of youths (5 of them).  This chat spoke volumes to me about the power and the simplicity of the law and the gospel.  As I was taking these kids through the law, I had multiple reactions: silliness, denial (“I’ve never lied”), but also, disengagement.  That sounds like a bad thing, but in this case, it was very good.  The young lady was really seeing her personal sin, and that’s the goal of the law!  Sadly, rather than humbling herself to accept the gospel, she hardened her heart by disengaging.  She even walked away from her group and stood to the side while I engaged the others.  As she was leaving, I did say, “hey, I’ve got good news coming”.  But at this stage, she wasn’t interested.  But God can use that, and in his timing he can bring others to bring the gospel seed.  May her heart become ready to receive it!

 

I continued my presentation, but just as I was getting to the gospel, I had 2 more of the kids ditch me.  The 3 that had left walked off, hoping the last 2 with me would leave too.  But they didn’t.  I got to share the gospel with them.  It turns out they went to a Catholic school, and so I instantly went back to my explanation of the ‘false ways’ to contrast what I was teaching with what they had heard in school.  Slowly I saw a light coming across their expressions as the gospel started to really register in their thinking.  It was so good.  But, I had to leave it at that, they wanted to catch up with their friends, and so I let them go with tracts.

 

It was a busy hour of outreach.  Plenty of young people were out & about, bored and with nothing to do.  Two guys went past who had talked to me before in the city (I didn’t really remember them).  I was able to reiterate the law with them (I focused on that, because it obviously hadn’t registered in their thinking the first time) and then touch on the gospel.  They also took tracts.

 

One of my regulars passed.  He is an older guy (74 I think he said).  He is happy to chat, but he is completely blind to the gospel.  What I find fascinating is that, in his retirement, he jumps on city buses and spends his days travelling from place to place, for no particular reason.  He obviously enjoys life, as simple as it is, but he is completely oblivious to the reality of death and judgement.  I decided to ask him about this again (nowadays I usually just chat about the weather with him) and he said he guesses he’ll go to heaven.  And he even mentioned that he and the missus go to church every week (it’s a good local church – he sings the songs and listens to the ‘talk’).  And yet, he has no idea why someone would go to heaven or not and is not interested in talking about it at all.  There is nothing much more I can do than pray, and ask God to soften his heart and remove the scales from his eyes so he can really see his sin for what it is: wretched; and the amazing grace of Jesus to pay for it!  God have mercy!

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Dec 17, 2025 from 1030-1130

Hurrah, for a long time, Johnny , Edwin and Hung teamed up again at Sunnybank. With the quick feet of Edwin, he as well as the team of three had covered almost every one turning up at the Bus Stop. Either we got a chat or a reject in polite or rude way. No one person was omitted for a divine approach.

Johnny and Hung tended to have longer chat with the elected person. For instance, Johnny had a long chat with a Filipino Catholic lady who is full of those traditional Catholic teaching. Johnny took the trouble to look up pictures and post to reveal the true color of the deep state related Roman Catholic regime.

Hung have a couple of special divine appointment to minister to a few least ones of the disadvantaged people group. First ,Hung spotted a skinny man sat on the ground and hid behind the garbage box. He is and indigenous Malay who has just lost his job with some shop at Sunny Park. His English is not very good, but God moved me to tender to his need and have a long chat caring first his well being and at the end sharing the full gospel to him and convey a mindset that true peace and joy can only be restored through reconnecting with the agape love of God through Jesus of Savior. He lives in EMP, so I encourage him to attend the EMP Methodist Church.

Another divine encounter was with a guy from China who has been in Brisbane Australia for 20 odd years yet still struggling to settle down to lead a self sufficient life. He was switching bus to connect to Garden City with all his belongings on a luggage trolleys but fell off in a mess when he got out from the bus. I did have time and the move to share him immediately the gospel but lend a helping hand to get all the fallen apart stuff be strapped securely to his luggage trolley. Before the connecting bus came, I simply render my concern for his well being and helped him to bring the heavy load of luggage on to the bus. I was moved to leave two tracts one in English and other in Chinese and strongly believe Gid will do the rest for him to read them afterwards.

All in all, it was again glorious day of outreach with blessing fully bestowed to both the gospel targets and to us the gospel warriors.
