Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday January 8, 2025 from 1230-1400

Today, I also started the street outreach at Sunnybank for the first time in 2025 by myself. It requires oil in my lamp by the Holy Spirit to push for the extra step in approaching the elected targets in defying timidity and helplessness in flesh.

I waited for the bus arriving in 3 minutes to come and go, thence the bus stop was left with no person except a young man sitting on the bench away from the covered area of the bus stop. So, that was the first one I was led to approach. He is Ethan , a new convert for one year and is attending SIC. I skip the gospel message first but proceed to check for his assurance of salvation which is only at 60 % level. Since he was only waiting to meet a friend here so, I had more time to clarified his incomplete understanding about salvation by grace thru faith that no one can earn by our limited good deeds but has to 100% rely on the work of Jesus dying for us and taking our place to receive the eternal death punishment of our sins. I took the chance to chip in more basic doctrinal teachings that had caught his attention and interest even after his friend had arrived. He thanked for my sharing from the bottom of his heart and joyfully took selfie with me.

Next was a non-believer from Shangdong山東, China who studied Business Management at CQU. He was on his shopping errand today but appeared comparatively open despite knowing it is about Christianity. I was able to share him the full gospel mingled with my personal testimony of God's healing my Bladder cancer. The bus came just on time when I finished the full gospel so he rush ed off for the bus though still taken a tract from me.

Then, the bus stop was left with one lady again. When I approached her, she immediately claimed I chatted with her before and she was busy in doing a lot of texting on the phone with her friends. I waited patiently but moved on after a long while that there was no sign her texting communication will cease any time soon. But I still thank for the unsuccessful encounter that at least reminded here about the need for repentant and to accept Jesus as Savior and Lord of our life.

After another few unsuccessful approach, I was led to lock on with Ervine, a Filipino Catholic Christian who only has 50% of assurance. Again, I was given enough time to clarify the misconception with him and he felt pumped to have new motivation to follow Jesus and be transformed day by day towards perfection through the work of the Holy Spirit.
