Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday Dec 2, 2020 from 1300 to 1500

It was another day of grace to serve God without the usual team support by Johnny as he is still away on a family leisure trip. Instead, God moved Andrew to keep joining me at Sunnybank. We formed great teamwork by taking different strategic positions. Andrew stationed at the foot of the pedestrian bridge where he can get longer conversations. I take position at the bus stop with more chances to share but are of short conversation because of the frequent arrival of buses. Some people took a tract from Andrew but did not stop yet coming directly to the bus stop. I can then target them especially those who were moved to read the tract immediately at the bus stop. Another thanks giving point was that there was shade and good breeze on the eastern side of the foot bridge despite weather forecast projected a higher temperature over 35c. Recap below are the 10 divine appointments I had today.

1)Mr Fong æ–¹ whom I met frequently here at Sunnybank, but I never was told he is a Christian as my question for him about salvation shows he was alost ignorance about salvation. But today I greeted him and care about the scar line on his head caused by a open head operation. I induced him to think about eternal life issue as temporal life is vulnerable. å‹•é æ‰‹è¡“, æ›´çæƒœç”Ÿå‘½

Then he told me he is a Christian of a very prominent denomination in HKG (The Evangelical church of HKGé¦™æ¸¯æ’é“æœƒ)ï¼ŒHe had to attend a medical appointment so I had to let him go and pray for next time to strengthen his faith.

2)å€šç¶º Ekky is a Malaysian Chinese é¦¬è¯ from KL. She could speak 5 language including Cantonese, so we can have a very stress free chat in our own local dialect. she has no faith and seemingly first time hearing the gospel. But she found it sensible and logical. She did not rush to leave even when her bus arrived and let me continue to do my wrap up. As a result, I had more time to share with her and hopefully, God will move her to take her first step of faith in no time.

3) Then I was rejected by an old and young man which was also within our prayer that may the Spirit lead us to waste no time on those who overtly reject the Gospel.

4) Then I shared with Ah Lin é˜¿ç³ from Hong Kong é¦™æ¸¯. So again I can speak in my mother tongue. She showed no obvious sense of rejection of the Gospel despite she very soon indicated she is a Buddhist. ä½›æ•™å¾’. The bus came very quickly è»Šåˆ°å¤ªå¿«, so I only managed to share her the nutshell of the Gospel.

5) Then came two young man å…©é’å¹´ï¼Œone of them took a tract from Andrew . So I hook up with him and volunteer to discuss the tract with him. He showed genuine willingness to listen but the arrival of the bus cut short this divine appointement.é¡˜æ„è½ä½†è»Šå¾ˆå¿«ä¾¿åˆ°äº†. Trust God may have His follow up work.

6) Lee, possibly from Taiwan was polite when I approached him. But again there was not enough time to share as his bus came very quickly. Pray that God has His follow up work.

7) Rebecca is from Eastern Malaysia. She has no faith but show interest to listen. Again just have limited time to touch on the nutshell of the Gospel.

8) Stephen has an Indian look but he has a Filipino Mum and an Aussie Dad of Christian Family ground. But he doesn't go to church any more hope being discouraged by below par Christian witness. At the end, he joyously decided he should attend church again. It is a new start for him.

9) An UQ student Zhang å¼µï¼Œfrom æ±åŒ— China ï¼ŒHe said some OPN 513 guy talked to him at King George Square. I went through the gospel message with him again and introduced him to join Power to Change.

10) Finally John a big guy but behaved politely. He listened to my gospel sharing with patience, but at the end he told me he was once Christian now Muslim. It was a pity I did not have any more time to clarify the reason of the switch and bring him back to the core message of the Gospel.

Battle Log by Andrew

On Wednesday at Sunnybank, there were a couple of great conversations where people grasped the gospel.

A pair of 17 year old young guys who attend a Christian school stopped to chat. They knew a lot about the gospel but were very unsure why God should let them into heaven. I took them through the law and was just starting to go through the gospel when their bus came, but both took tracts and thanked me for stopping them.

Declan called himself a Christian but when I asked about what would get him to heaven, he appealed to his own good works. I ran him through the gospel at length and eventually shared that I was very concerned that he was not saved because he was trusting in the wrong thing to save him. He admitted that even though he used the label, he was not a “good Christian” and had not been to church in a long time and no longer owned a Bible. I was able to provide him a Bible from the Bible Society Australiaand also pointed him to a good church.

Francis was raised a bit religious but admitted he was pretty sceptical about it all. We talked through how we know that God exists and then through the gospel at length. After I took him through the law, he agreed that we are all not good enough to get to heaven. I shared what Jesus had done and about how he calls us to surrender to his rule. He seemed to grasp the gospel well and said that he now had a lot to consider.

Please pray for these guys and the many more who received tracts.
