Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday Feb 14th 2023 from 1330 – 1500

It was yet another evidence of God's providence and protection when we serve Him in Street outreach. Storm warning was forecasted in the afternoon, but we normally do not pay much attention to it as the forecast normally is not specific enough and we always could avoid the adverse weather which usually happens after we finished. Today the big storm did come a bit earlier. Winnie and I teamed up to serve at Toowong bus stop. The dark thunderstorm cloud was advancing suddenly in quicker speed, but we both sensed the looming danger of the storm and left the Toowong Bus stop just in time back to the Toowong shopping Village. I left immediately driving home and the storm did come down battering everything and with Hail. Visibility was down to near zero because of heavy rain that kept pounding on the car not just vertically but from all direction because of the strong wind. Branches of trees fell off everywhere. But God's sure protection was with me guiding me to get off from the freeway to the suburban roads with less traffic and drove home safe at slow speed with hails pounding on the car yet I arrived home with car and person unscathed. Winnie also went home safe though taking a much longer time. Our shortened street outreach was also fruitful as recap below: -

1) I first approached Austin a young man with T shirt full of Japan's element. He was opened to the gospel and clicked with me through same favouritism for Japan Culture. It was a pity the bus came too quick to cut short our conversation.

2) Then I was moved to pick up Ahmet from Dubai as I could share with him my experience transiting Dubai to Turkey. He was amazingly opened to the gospel and could identify with the reflection brought by the Turkey earthquake that, human beings are too limited and vulnerable to face unpredictable natural disaster. We should not le t slip the Chance for recognizing the real important life issue on addressing sin and judgment after death. He showed full endorsement to the gospel I shared and happily took a selfie with me. I prayed that I could meet him again later to follow up on his decision on making the last step of faith.

3) Then I was led to approach two girls, one from Hong Kong and another from Singapore. Both were also very open despite they don’t not have religious adherence.

4) Then I joined the conversation that Winnie had with three young men from China two are from Jiangso, Nanjin and Sozhou. Winnie kept sharing in English with the third guy while I chatted with the other two in Mandarin. They were exceptionally opened and appeared receptive to the Gospel especially can identify with the desperate status if the victim in the Turkey earthquake and acknowledged it should be a soul searching moment for people facing the challenges of life and death.

5) Then I connected with an arrogant ABC from USA who initially just wanted to brush me off. But I was moved to share the nutshell of the Gospel and he failed to find words or logic to reject the sensible message of salvation. He found refuge when the bus came to bring him away.

6) I was moved to catch up with a girl from Norway. She was indifferent to the issue of faith thought remained friendly to allow me to keep sharing the whole Gospel message.

7) Finally, I connected with Jack a fair dinkum Aussie with generation dated back to the first fleet as the descendant of the convict. Again, he was very opened to the gospel and had sensible interaction showing good reception of the Christian faith. I pray also to be able to meet him again in future.

Just a short report to cover last week, as I took the weekend off to be involved with my church camp - which was awesome!  Roger joined me on Tuesday in Riccarton, and John was with me in the city on Friday.

Tuesday’s outreach felt special, as I had a couple of memorable gospel chats with people, as well as follow-up opportunities with some high school students.

But firstly, I want to mention that I had 4 university aged kids go past, they saw my flip chart, and joked with me as they went past.

Then I fell into a chat with a young lady who seemed to have an understanding of the gospel, but not precisely.  It turns out she had an ‘Orthodox’ and ‘Latin’ background.  So I focused on being precise in how salvation doesn't involve works (something the Orthodox sadly teaches).

As she moved on, I noticed some people sitting in the seats behind me.  It was the 4 university students!  They came back and wanted to talk.  I think they were curious as to why I was on the street corner.  We fell into a gospel conversation (1 was a Christian, 2 were atheists, and 1 didn’t want to think about it).  And after sharing the gospel with them, it turned into a bit of a Father speaking to his children kind of discussion.  I remembered when I was their age, at a crossroads - I took the wrong path.  And I wanted to save them some pain.  I pleaded with them to trust in Christ today, and not follow the path I took.

On Friday I was handing out tracts when a young lady went past and took one.  She said she thinks about the afterlife all the time.  She believed in God and heaven & hell - so I asked her what she had to do to get to heaven.  She immediately pointed to her works: bible, prayer, church.  I gently tried again, and so she went to the greatest commandments (the law) as the reason she’ll get to heaven.  I prompted again, and she finally swung to the right answer: Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.  It was very concerning.  What concerned me more is that she was on her way to the library to prepare a talk for a church group she is involved with.  Without asking her to respond to me, I pleaded with her to examine herself and check if she was really still trusting in her works for salvation, or in Jesus' sacrifice alone.  Strangely, she started talking about how many think they are Christians and are not.  I don’t know if she realised that this was my concern for her!  She left with a tract “Who Made It”, and I asked her to review it carefully, and get in touch if she had any questions.

I’m moving into a busy period of special outreaches.  And I’d appreciate you keeping the team in prayer:
Sat, 18th Feb - Training + Training Outreach: https://tellmeconference.org.nz/training/
Sat, 25th Feb - Kaikoura A&P Show (in conjunction with Christians coming down from Blenhiem).
Tue, 28th Feb till Fri, 10th Mar - Philippines Trip

Sat, 1st Apr - Oxford A&P Show

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 8/2/2023 from 1300-1500

Today, Amy could not join me to do street outreach at Sunnybank because her son Joshua does not have time slot for kindy. But instead, she invited one of her Hong Kong non-Christian couples to have lunch. I took use of this chance of course also to share about my witness of salvation so as to preach to them the gospel in an indirect way.

Thanks God that Gary could join me for a while so we served as a team and he took a couples of good photos for me. Today God let me meet several Christian of different back ground and status that not all of them have clear understanding of salvation that needed much clarification. Recap below is my Battle Log.

1) "Samuel" is from the Kenya. He let me share him with the whole gospel before disclosing he is readily a Christian. I of course proceeded to test for his assurance of salvation and he is al good having clear and correct understanding of salvation by faith through grace of Jesus as such we should have 100% assurance of salvation. He is happy to take a selfie with me.

2) Then I was rejected consecutively by Two women despite I suggested to have merely a friendly chat with them.

3) Then I approached three Chinese young persons, two man and lady each from ??and one from Shang Dong. The girl was most bossing trying to dismiss me with many excuses from the beginning, ???????? but the two boys were indifferent. I anyway still managed to share the nutshell of the gospel to them. Then the girl simply pulled off leaving the Bus Station for the shopping mall.

4) A radical Christian from local having good faith in Christ but also has a lot of narrow-minded view leading his faith to trail on the wrong track. For instance, he thought the OT Bible was made up by the Romans and the Jews to prove Jesus was not the Messiah. So obviously he does not have good bible study effort spent. So, He is Jews hater anyway thinking that it was right for Hairy to regard Jewish as evil people but wrong to trigger genocide. I tried my best to clarify all his misimpression and misinformation about church and about the Bible, but it seemed his mind is strictly set that it may take unknown amount of time to change. And the arrival of his bus just ended or medium long conversation.

5) Maru, a Filipino Christian but has no assurance of salvation. I clarified it with her and she was thankful to me to have changed her incomplete mind set about salvation

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday Feb 7th 2023 from 1330 – 1500

Today the Toowong outreach team of two returned to normal though still waiting for Johnny to come back in March. There were practically more Chinese student and some of them were more approachable than usual. Also we met a couple of people who met the OPN 513 guys in the city. So, the collective work of OPN 513 team is really serving as a net to catch all the lost soul and made them a fish for God in Christ.

Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung: -

1) An exchange student from Nanning ??????was moving house and her go card was out of money as such she was blogged down at the bus stop waiting for Go card be charged up as well as friend to come. I made use of this gap to have a good chat with her though with intermittent interruption by Phone and finally by the arrival of her friend. I still managed to share the full gospel to her and partially to her friend who came for her rescue.

2) Then came across a Chinese male student ?????who appeared open for gospel sharing. He anyhow shared that he heard the gospel already in the city and before I want to follow up how clear did he know about it, the bus came. ?????

3) A beard man appeared also friendly for a chat but his accent is too heavy I could get what he said. I just managed to share him the nutshell of the gospel before he had to rush away for the bus.

4) Then I caught up with a girl from Sichuan so I could identify with her about the 2008 earthquake. She used to live in the Chengdu city where the damage by the earthquake was minimal. ????. With this rapport built, she appeared as a good listener ?????? and show good receptiveness to the gospel message.

5) Another guy by the name of Wong also claimed he heard the gospel at the city and was even being brought to attend a church. ????. I thanked God and asked to take a picture for Ryan's name to check if you guy recognize him.

6) Sam yet another good listener who is an Australian Born British whose parents were from Bristol UK. He was reading a book but willingly allowed me to interrupt him and shared him the full gospel message.

7) Finally, the first non-Chinese target form Malaysian of Muslim background. She has all the biased ideas a about Jesus but at least I told her who Jesus really is and it was Him not Mohamad to die for our sin. Yet her mind was deeply poisoned to insist that Jesus was born by Mary as an ordinary human being. This biased thought never appeared in any gospel conversation I had in Turkey. So the religious theology about Muslim and the wrong teaching on Jesus are more serious in Malaysia and Indonesia.

What a surprise!  I invite a lot of people to church, but not many of them accept the offer.  Well, today at church I had a double surprise!

On Friday, Roger fell into a conversation with a young man at the end of the outreach, a Christian struggling with assurance.  To me, he seemed to be overthinking it, and so I tried to reiterate the gospel, with an emphasis on its simplicity.  He’s on holiday, and was looking for a reformed church in Christchurch to attend.  I invited him along to the church I attend.  It was wonderful to have him turn up and be able sit with me through the meeting.  Our church is working through Romans and today we were up to Romans 6:1-2 learning about the transition between justification and sanctification.  It’s just what this young man needed to hear!  After the meeting ended, he said he felt a bit overwhelmed with all the information, but that didn’t surprise me with what I know of his personality.  He is keen to go and listen to last week's sermon (a recap of Romans 1 - 5) now.  Please pray that he would be able to digest the rich truths taught and that he would come to an assurance of his salvation.

But, also, on Saturday, I was in my usual spot in Riccarton, when a couple of ladies from Zimbabwe came past and we fell into a good gospel chat.  One of the ladies seemed to have a good grasp of the gospel, the other said some questionable things but didn’t resist correction.  They are new to Christchurch and looking for a church.  They have a pentecostal background, but that’s not a problem. I invited them along to my church, as they live close by.  Well, low and behold, this morning as I was walking towards the hall where our church meets, these 2 ladies were coming up the path and I was able to be the first to greet them and welcome them!

And so, the guy from Friday sat on one side of me, and the two ladies sat on the other side through the meeting.

And wow, how wonderful was that church meeting!  The singing, the Bible reading, communion, fellowship, but the teaching was phenomenal.  I felt like we were all pieces of meat marinating in a rich and spicy curry (the depths of the word of God).  After the teaching, I felt like if anyone took a bite of me, their head would explode with the heat!  I unashamedly wept as we sung the final song of praise and glory to God.

And I took that teaching to the streets today, directly applying what I had been marinating in this morning into the conversations I was having this afternoon.  Applied theology at its best! :)  God is so good!

I was also on the streets on Tuesday, with Roger.  I love the picture’s I have for this report, smiles all round!  The one with Andy was from Friday’s outreach.  The guy Andy was talking to got a double dose.  Andy talked to him near the start of the outreach, but near the end of the outreach, I approached him at the other end of the mall.

I’ve forgotten to mention how hot it’s been.  On Friday and Saturday it hit around 33 degree Celsius.  We had a reprieve on Sunday, with rain coming during the outreach.

The online outreach is going as well as ever.  Some of the video’s on social media must have gone viral, because the amount of direct messages coming through on Instagram has spiked, keeping us busy sharing and clarifying the gospel.  Also, I had a great online chat yesterday, with a young man who lives near me, you can check that out here.

Many other conversations, and tracts were distributed this week too.  Keep up the good work in sharing the gospel in your contexts.  All glory to God alone.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday from 1300-1500

Hi everyone, we are back to regular street outreach again after a long break for Cross cultural outreach in Turkey and a period of rest to have my body fitness restored back to normal. Today, my co-worker Pastor Amy Yao can also join me for the first time again after a very long break because of prolonged ill health issues complicated by COvid-29 infection. It is also by the grace of God that her younger son is enrolled to do Prep on Wednesday fortnightly and Thursday, Friday weekly as such she will be free to join me at least fortnightly at Sunnybank provided good health permitted. Today, majority of gospels target arranged by God are Chinese from both Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Amy tried to refer all the Hongkongese to me to work as a team. She had over three good complete gospel sharing to several Chinese students with good receptive results. Recap below is the battle log of Hung.

1) Mr Chen from Beijing claimed he has spoken with us before. ??? But I still managed to keep the chat alive to do follow up.

2) Then it was followed by a couple of rejection by Chinese mainlander, though our intention to share with them an important life issues were conveyed.

3) Then came another young man from China with an initial reluctance to chat kept listening to his iPhone and smoking cigarette. But the Spirit softened his heart as such his attitude towards gospel and see seed of gospel successfully sowed.
?????????????????????????????.

4) Shane an Australian born Sri Lankan who appeared very receptive to the gospel though he obviously is not yet a believer. But he endorses the need of Gospel for all sinners including himself. He was humble and willing to pursue God as led by Him.

5) Then I approached an Australian mum ????who politely took a tract after a short briefing of the nutshell of Gospel and before the bus arrived.

6) Then Amy referred me to a young lady by the name Kong from Hong Kong. ??????????She took an indifference view initially, but hte Spirit moved her heart to become soften and receptive to the gospel laving a remark to thanks for my sharing that mean a lot to her at the ned of our conversation.?????

7) Afterward, I approached a woman from Taiwan who claimed to be of Catholic background. ?????????. I asserted her religion adherence but emphasized that all religions are good for guiding people to be a good person including Catholic church teaching, however it exactly is not complete for addressing the issue of sin and that only the redemptive grace of Jesus dying for all sinners can provide the only way out for us to reconcile with God and have eternal life.

8 ) Then I was moved to approach a man from Shanxi Tai Yuan?????he was oversensitive to political issues as such he treated all gospel messages were politically driven and declined to continue. ??????

9) the last for the day was Mr Yang ?from China. He has a stereotype impression that Christianity is too exclusive. ??????Thanks God, finally he listened up and taken in the message as the spirit worked along to move and soften his heart. ??????

I’ve had a couple of weeks of holiday, which were great.  But so good to be back to my regular beat.  A normal week of street outreach.  It was great to have John from down south join me in Riccarton on Tuesday afternoon.  Joel, Roger and John (another John!) were with me in the city on Friday afternoon.  I had a good solo outreach on Saturday lunch time in Riccarton, and then Andy, Mark and Susan were with me in the city on Sunday afternoon, after church gathering.

In Riccarton on Tuesday, John and I decided to split up early - on either side of Rotherham Street.  I was quickly into chats, and when I glanced over my shoulder between chats, I could see John was busy too!  The details of those chats are getting fuzzy in my mind now.  I’ve only really got glimpses.  I remember seeing a ‘regular’ I hadn’t seen for a long time.  She remembered my name!  She is an atheist, and didn’t feel like continuing the conversation at this stage.  I pray that the law and the gospel continues to be active in her life bringing conviction and conversion - that she will come to a point where she is willing to chat again, either with me or another Christian.

Friday was hot!  And the buskers were out in full force, so I moved down the mall a bit - setting up my flip chart.  Roger set up on the other side.  Joel joined me and John did ‘walk up’.  I had an interesting engagement with a couple of exclusive brethren guys, but the highlight chat was one with a couple of couples from the UK.  They walked up to the flipchart curious as to what it was about, and we fell into a really good gospel discussion.  It was also a good opportunity for Joel to see how the flip chart worked.  To end the outreach, Joel and I ditched the flip chart and switched to ‘walk up’.  I managed to get a chat started, but the guy, although friendly enough, was very resistant, and didn’t really allow any opportunity for meaningful engagement.

Saturday I had a number of interesting conversations.  One guy showed up wanting to do the flip chart, but it was a bit of a set up - he was just there to argue and became absurdly resistant to the existence of God.  “You can’t know for sure that that chair didn’t appear from nowhere”.  I politely shut him down quickly - I didn’t want to waste time with absurdity.  Very interestingly, about 30 minutes later, one of my ‘regulars’ came past.  He said, “hey you just talked to my flatmate”!  We had a nice catch up chat, but he is also currently holding to his absurdity - for now, God, have mercy!

I was able to catch up with Sanjay (another of my ‘regulars’), I often see him on Saturday.  He’s a lovely guy.  Hindu.  Each time I see him, I gently labour the law and the gospel.  Sadly, I popped him a quick check question and he instantly went to his goodness for salvation, but I kept labouring.  Praying for him; praying that I see him again next Saturday, or at least a Saturday soon and that he will start grasping the serious nature of sin and that the only logical solution is Jesus.

Talking of sin being serious.  I had a guy stop and take a tract, and I was able to engage him in conversation.  I could tell he had a bit of a Christian background, but he wasn’t being clear on how we are saved.  So, as I probed, I took him through the law, and this dredged up some questions for him, like: why is hell so terrible, and why is it forever?  Anyway, he eventually said, “I know what you are going to say, Jesus died on the cross, yada, yada, yada” as though it was something trivial and unimportant.  I felt shocked and offended, and maybe I lacked some patience.  I responded with, “how can you say it like that?  Jesus dying on the cross to pay our sin is amazing!”.  This was revealing a very low view of the serious nature of sin, and the incredible cost of the gift to save us.  We continued talking, with me trying to alleviate this.  Maybe I was being too forceful, or maybe I wasn’t, but eventually he said: “I’m feeling uncomfortable”.  That pretty much killed the conversation, we parted with a handshake, and he mumbled something.  I asked what he was going to say, and he responded with, “it wasn’t anything you said that made me uncomfortable”.  We parted ways then.  I really hope that his discomfort came out of conviction and not me being too abrupt!  God help!

Sunday was a wonderful outreach.  It started and finished with a lovely conversation with a couple of retired American missionaries!  They are visiting New Zealand on holiday.  In between these chats, the team was busy handing out tracts, getting into chats via ‘walk up’ and the flip chart.  I had a pair of encouraging chats.  One was with a young lady who had drifted from the faith.  She even agreed that if she had died today she would have gone to hell out of unbelief, but she gave me a very warm smile as she left me with some questions answered, the gospel and a challenge to accept it today.  The other was with a young man who had some nominal Christian input in his life, and was shocked that good deeds were not the way of salvation.  I laboured with him till he grasped it, and challenged him to respond.  He left with a gospel of John, a summary tract, and a card for my church.  I had a number of other good opportunities for gospel engagement, but it’s time for this report to end!

Thank you so much for continuing to support his ministry.  Please continue to regularly uphold it in prayer.  God bless!

I found myself dwelling on the simplicity of the gospel as I was handing out gospel tracts and talking to people today.  Because, in some regards, what I do is so foolish.  It’s impossible for me to change someone’s mind on something so important.  I could argue and reason with people forever and they wouldn’t be convinced.  It’s for this reason that I’m so glad that God speaks so clearly to us in scripture.  I can’t convert, only God can.  What a relief!  Yet, the means he uses for that is a simple gospel message delivered by simple people like us + prayer.  What is foolish to man is the wisdom of God!  Apart from the power of God, everyone will ignore what’s written in those little 8 page cartoon tracts.  But with the power of God - and the logic of the gospel understood, even from a simple 8 page cartoon tract - everyone who reads it or hears it can be saved.  So, all the glory is God’s.

I get it, evangelism is terrifying, it’s foolish.  But I want to encourage you to do it anyway.  You may not be able to join me on the streets.  But, in your everyday life, be bold to talk about Jesus!

Normal schedule on the streets this week, although Saturday’s outreach was rained out.  And it was so good to have Mike be able to join me for a couple of outreaches before heading back to work tomorrow!  God bless ya Mike.  Like you said, when you understand what Jesus did for you, you are willing to be a ‘fool’ for him.  Amen.

So, Mike and I were in Riccarton Tuesday afternoon.  It started out as a really slow outreach.  Eventually I decided to leave Mike with the flip chart, and head across the road to try my luck on the other side.  Pretty much instantly, I was into a chat!  And then I noticed Mike had become busy too (pictured).  To my amazement, the outreach went for a whole hour extra, because we were so busy (and the last chat was really good).

The details of my chats are fuzzy now.  But I remember the last one (pictured with Mike talking to the couple).  I noticed they were sitting in the seats nearby while Mike was in another chat.  And when Mike became free, they came over.  As the chat went so long, I ended up getting involved.  The couple were in different places.  She was very argumentative, yet there was an openness from him.  I decided to engage the guy, and let Mike handle the lady.  It worked, I was able to focus on the law and the gospel with the guy where he would have otherwise been distracted.

Believe it or not, we ended up having to cut that conversation short, as I really needed to get home for dinner.  But it was a great chat.  God is good.

Friday was hot!  I was in the city.  It was interesting to see some open air preachers out.  From the little bit I heard from them I was encouraged: using amplification well, gentle voice, dealing with the crowd well (polite, answering questions).  I got to say g’day to one of them - they were down from Wellington.

It was too hot to hand out tracts in the sun, so I focused on ‘walk up’ chats.  I had three solid opportunities.

The first was with a streetie who was the same age as me.  He was keen to chat, but resistant to the good news.  He listed his many sins, but he insisted on his righteousness - so sad.

The next was a great chat.  It was with a young couple.  He cut to the chase: why is God allowing parasites to eat the eyeballs of little children?  I was able to give him the biblical answer, and then take them both through the law and the gospel.  The guy was a fidgetter, and so he ended up pretty much screwing up the tract I had given him at the start.  He was happy to accept a fresh one.

The last chat was with one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.  It was an interesting chat, because he was adamant that we become part of the Kingdom not by our work.  Sadly, his wife kept ringing him.  He wanted to stay and chat, and yet he had to go.  I need to scratch up on my understanding of what JW’s believe and why.

On Sunday it was good to have Mike and Susan join me.  I spent the first half of the outreach in one conversation.  It was with one of my recent regulars.  And this was our first really in depth chat.  It was great to be able to understand his worldview, and challenge it with the gospel.  In the end, he couldn’t accept the idea that a criminal could be forgiven.  He really wanted to think it was good work that got you to heaven (via reincarnation).  I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to talk to him (and his brother) again, and continue the conversation.  I’m going to add him to my prayer list.

I had one other main chat, with a group of American soldiers (in civilian clothes), they will be going down to Antarctica at some point.  I was able to share the gospel with them, and give them a tract to read down on the ice.

Susan had a long chat with a lady (pictured), and Mike had a number of opportunities on the flip chart.

God is good!  SDG

WHAT A BUSY night in Brisbane! Praise be to God that 2,000 tracts were able to go into people’s hands and some good gospel conversations were had.

One stand-out conversation was with a Muslim guy named Ally who didn’t respond with the usual “I want to keep relying on my good deeds”, instead he came to agree that good deeds could never pay for his sins.

And as we shared the gospel with him he saw that Jesus dying for him is the only way he could get to heaven, and he said he is now going to seriously consider this, realizing the cost it could have on his life in leaving Islam. Please pray for him that God saves him.

To God be all the glory!
