Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday February 6th, 2024 from 1330 – 1500
It was a scorching hot high noon weather worst for street outreach. The radiating heat dissipated from the concrete pedestrian path and the road made the bus stop feel like a furnace. Despite of the extreme situation, Winnie and Hung still were given many divine appointments with non-believers. For Winnie, a couple she met last time took the initiative to greet Winnie to allow her to do follow up encouraging them to look for church in St Lucia. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.
1) Rejected by two women, one young and one old. Both were supposed to be local Aussie. It reflected the local territorial spirit is so low that most people don't like gospel and any religious matter.
2) Next I was led to chat with a man who is an alumni of UQ. The bus came too quick but he still managed to take a tract.
3) Francisco, a Chilean non believer, but is a chosen one who react favorably and positively to the gospel understanding and appreciating all the points and issue addressed. So he really felt all good and ready to be a Christ follower. He loved to take selfie with me and took a tract to revise on my gospel presentation.
4) Freda, a girl from Sweden doing the psychology subject greatly related to my Master of Counselling course dated back in 2008. She was all rejoice and all open for a chat. It was a pity her bus also came too quick. But she took a track and promise to read and looking forward to meeting me next week, God's willing.
5) Another atheist man from Toronto Canada. He behaved a bit arrogant but still softened to listen to the gospel though with a lot of question.l
6) Spencer, yet another local Aussie who had no argument on the points raised in the Gospel, but still taking no tract at the end.
7) Last but not the east, I was led to approach three Arabic from Dubai. They looked like a mature big brother with his two younger brother and sister. The elder brother quickly identified himself as Muslim. I initially tried to present the issue of sin in a non-religious context. But the eldest Muslim brother kept quoting Koran but not in the official format to deny Jesus as God. I shared some view of Siddique that The earlier writing of the Koran actually gives favorable comments to Christianity and Jesus. But that eldest man kept just repeating his brain wash points that there is only one god and no trinity, and that Jesus is not god. I anyway stood my ground to conclude that Jesus is one of the God head of the triune God as such He is God having equality by substance, by power, and by authority on par with God the father and God the Holy Spirit. Only Jesus has the authority and power to die for us and taking our place to receive the eternally death punishment originally due on us but not they are all forgiven. That was not even mentioned in Koran. Anyway, we set back agreed on our differences and move on. I do pray the two younger ones will be easier to humble themselves to receive Christ as their Savior and Lord of life.
