Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday January 7, 2025 from 1230-1400
Today I kicked start the street outreach ministry in 2025 at Toowong in the new ministry time from 1230 to 1400. Both Johnny and Edwin were not available due to their own church ad Hoc ministry need. I just start the outreach in the New Year period ministry as usual. There were less but still reasonable people flow. I first spotted the Sri Lanka man I mistaken as local worker but actually an UQ student doing part time work at Woolly. When I tried to approach him for a follow up chat, it was interfered by a phone call. I tried to stay around for a while but did not beat the arrival of his bus. I anyway saw it as a lead for follow up approach on him in our next divine encounter. Recap below were some other chats I got:
First I was led to approach a middle aged man from Ethiopia which according to him is now a half half Christian and Muslim country. He however was not religious, but still open enough for a chat though again the time left was short. I still managed to share the nutshell of the Gospel and he was forced to wave me good bye when his bus arrived.
Next, I had a long chat with a young man from Yang Zhiu揚州, Jiangsu. He was intrigued to realize I had an adventurous visit to Jiang Jie Provinces dated back to 1973/74. He admitted even it was before the birth of his father. He appeared very polite and open for a chat even on religious issue with genuine interest. I almost finished the full gospel which he found rational and logical that as an imperfect human being, we all need external help from a perfect person. When his bus arrive, he asked politely to end the conversation or else his next bus will be 8 minutes later. So, I could not but let go and pray for future possible reunion for follow up chat.
Then, I reconnected with a guy who claimed to have a chat with one of us and most probably a lady. He showed a bit of reluctant to chat again, bit finally he let up and let me revise most of the gospel message calling for our repentant heart to accept Jesus as our Saviour to cleanse up our sin once and for all in order that we can be gifted with a renewed status of heavenly citizen. Pray that this reminder will serve the purpose of God on his life.
