Operation 513 Battle Lof for Tooowng Village on Wednesday September 1, 2020 from 1330 to 1500

On the first day of Spring, we have resumed by grace the street evangelism at Toowong despite the Covid-19 community cluster outbreak is still posing threat of heath to the Queenslander in general. To me, it was also a very special new day after the birth of my 2nd Grand child Hannah the baby girl yesterday evening. Going on to the street again for the Lord needs to pay a price for not being able to visit Hannah as well as the whole family for an indefinite period until the covid-19 infection is over. But it is a worthy price to pay as it may be used by God to give birth to many spiritual new life by the almighty power of the Gospel.

Actually , every team mate has their price to pay. Winnie has to travel 1.5 hours by train one way to join this 1.5 hour street evangelism every week with her Husband coming along to support her. Gary Nean our Aussie team mate has to carry two big signs with gospel message by train. Johnny of course has to exert extra responsibility as both our physical and spiritual leader.

Apart from preaching the gospel, God always has a side lesson for us to learn. For consecutive times, we starts sluggishly without any successful chat. It is time for us to learn to let go of our anxiety as if stripping off the coat of self pride. After we have put 100% faith in God, the divine appointments then come continuously like flow of living water that cannot be stopped. God will also raise up and use the seemingly weakest link amongst us to prove that the gospel work we have done is not because of our experience and skill but simply the sovereign power of God. Today, Winnie made 9 significant fruitful contact while Johnny and I only got less opportunities. Gary was taking position in the far end under the footbridge with result not known to us, but of course he got all his chance.

Recap here below is my battle log of 7 conversation followed by the log of Winnie in Chinese for 9 persons.

1) Jerry an local Aussie UQ student, appeared very receptive and was able to share the nutshell of the gospel before the bus came.

2) A Korean girl initially not wanting to chat but was impressed by my sincerity as such I was able to finish sharing the gospel in a nutshell only just in time when the bus arrived.

3) I Met Wasi a Nigerian Christian. He was the rare one with clear and hundred percent assurance of salvation faith. I was able to Supplement him with the threefold of salvation as per 2 Cor 1:10. He even eagerly checked up the bible verse to get what I wanted to share with him. Our sharing also could not last long because of the arrival of the bus.

4) Suby an Indian young woman after showing initial reluctance to stop for a chat, she claimed she is a Christian and her uncle is a pastor. But she showed no correct understanding of gospel lacking full assurance of assurance. Thanks God I finally managed to make here understand she should have 100% , not even 99.99%, assurance of salvation simply because of Christ alone.

5) I followed up with the girl Lucy that Gary chatted a while ago and left for the bus stop. When I asked her if she thinks she can go to heaven by being a good person, she failed to grasp the essence of the gospel. So I gave her a bit more explanation luckily before the bus came.

6) Cathy a catholic Filipino initially rejected to take a tract as she thought she does not need to hear th gospel again. But she failed the diagnosis test then I took her through the gospel to establish her real basis of salvation is by Christ alone as such she should have 100$ faith in Jesus. At the end, she thanks for my passion to help her out to correct her misconception about redemptive grace.

7) Chrystal, a Malaysian Chinese Christian. Thanks God she is the rare one like Wasi today that have 100% assurance of salvation.

感謝主的带领,今天傳了福音给九人。

當我們到達傳福音地點,等了十分鐘,都沒有人留下聽福音。關牧師説可能我們要再次禱告。馬上我遇到第一位是中国少女,講述重要的福音後,巴士到達。第二位,Lily從香港來的少女,初時我們用英语溝通,但她説不太明白,我問她從那裏來,她説香港,我便用廣東話講述福音,於是她完全明白了,願意回教會尋求更多的真理。第三位,本地人 Joe,是天主教徒,我們講及天主教舆基督教的分别。第四位,好,中国少女。我用很快的時間 重要的福音傳给她,當我講完,巴士到達,她很開心的謝謝我所傳的福音。第五位,Alex 中国青年,不太明白我用英语講的福音,於是我用不流利的普通话對他説,他终于明白了,尋求教會更進一步的認識. 第六位,Cathy, 完全明白福音,願意回教會。第七位,Max, 本地人,初時不願意聽福音,當他坐下來,我行過去問他,你認識耶穌基督嗎?跟着傳福音给他。第八位是澳洲女士,Sally, 她明白耶穌救恩,願意回教會尋求更多真理。第九位,Neil, 天主教徒,我講述天主教與基督教的分别,他説有在家禱告,但沒有回教會,我説可能现在教會都在網上進行,嘗試網上找教會吧!Johnny 叫我,收工了。跟着關牧師又到來,還和他影相。

感謝讚美主今天的帶领。祂的大能,讓我不配的口,都可以傳福音。願今天聽到福音人士,更進一步尋求神,與主聯合。
