Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday Feb 11, 2025 from 1230-1400
I serve my roster duty street outreach at Toowong by myself again today. It is the Orientation week of UQ, so I was given chance to connect with several fresh first year students from Indonesia, China and India etc. There were mixed responses with both friendly and open chat to reluctant connection or even blunt rejections. That is really part of the training by God to deal with all sort of situation knowing God has played His part in all these divine encounter, if not appointments. Recap below is my Battle Log: -
1) First approached a fresh first year student David from Indonesia. He was the only one did not bury his head in the smart phone texting. He is a Muslim but holds very open mind about other religion especially Christianity which is the 2nd largest in Indonesia. His view about Jesus is comparatively assertive than Muslim of older generation. He showed appreciation for our chat by taking a photo with me.
2) Next was Joelle From UK, who is a 2nd year student. We built rapport quickly because of my UK business involvement and later the post graduate study experience. She also show openness to religious issue and receptiveness towards Gospel as such she also took a selfie with me.
3) Third came a first year fresh student girl from Beijing. She showed uneasiness toward the chat on life issue and reluctance all the more into Gospel. After a brief sharing of the nutshell of the Gospel, she found excuse to join with her friend to end prematurely the conversation.
4) Then my approach to another Indonesian young man was failed he simply walk off from my approach.
5) Yet the next outreach to a fresh first year student from Calcutta of India was quite all right. She appreciate the sharing and took a tract when her bus came.
6) Then there was only one guy left at the bus stop, but he was occupied by his phone conversation. I thus call for the day to go to visit Joe Tam.
