Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday July 16th 2024 from 1330-1430

It was rejoiceful that Edwin Qin joined Hung and Johnny from today onwards to do weekly outreach at Toowong. With his team work, the coverage dramatically increased. As a team, we did a good job under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Recap below is the Battlelog of Hung.

1) I was led to approach an UQ student from Cambodia, a Buddhist but still open enough to chat, yet just the started when his bus arrived and only handed him a tract.

2) Then Yvonne Chan of CCCB St Lucia approached me to chat about Restaurant worker Gospel. She wonder if QCCML has any one spending effort on this gospel needs, I encouraged her that she should pray if God will move and call her to help out in this gospel outreach field.

3) Taylor a Vietnamese with parents as Christians but he is not yet a believer. After the sharing of full gospel, he admitted there is no more doubt for him to make the last step of faith to accept Jesus as his savior.

4) Then I caught up with a mum with her young baby kid from Hebei She admitted no one is perfect she inclusive, but she argue that there is no need to be perfect. . I did not drag on to argue with her and just let go.

5) Then I approached a girl from Thailand who is already a Christian and attending local Aussie church. Just don't have time to check her assurance of salvation.

6) Then I was led to approach an Indian girl who claimed we chatted before. But she used the excuse of busy to end my approach.

7) Then I was led to meet Yang from Hebei , who is rarely a Christian already from house church background. Yet he only have 60% of assurance of salvation and had been clarified to professed 100% assurance of salvation.

8 ) Hugo, a local Aussie but parents are from France. He is non-religious and have a rational mindset as a Mechanic Engineering student. Yet he open to gospel and ahs a softened heart to embrace gospel as a logical expression and promised to ponder and accept Jesus in His time soon.

Christchurch (NZ) Team

Time for another report.  It always feels daunting when I have to write one of these, but then the hour goes fast and I have something to post.  I’m amazed that anyone actually reads these, maybe the hour would be better spent in actually doing evangelism?  Anyway, let’s summarise another week.

 

I made it to all four scheduled street outreaches this week.  The weather was poor for today, but I decided to go anyway (City).  If Joshua can do it in the rain, then so can I.  It rained as I walked to my outreach spot, but then it stopped as I started, the sun even came out!

 

I felt strangely invigorated.  It was like I had an extra dose of energy and joy.  I was able to enthusiastically hand out gospel tracts with a smile and a cherry ‘have a nice day’ to all those that refused them.  Who knows, maybe they will take one the next time, or even stop to chat to see why this crazy old man so persistently does what he does.  (Answer: glory to God for the good he works through wretches like us.)  If people stop, I want them to find out how amazing Jesus is.  He truly is.

 

I saw a lot of my regulars today.  I didn’t spend a lot of time with them, as I wanted to get the gospel to others.

 

But my highlight chat for the day wasn’t with unbelievers but with a couple of YWAMers who were out giving food to the poor. My encouragement to them was to not only give people practical help (Galatians 2:10), but to be precise in sharing the gospel.  Gospel precision leads to gospel understanding, which is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16).

 

I had two rather daunting chats this week.  One on Saturday (Riccarton), and the other on Friday (City).

 

On Saturday, I didn’t feel very invigorated.  The outreach was slow.  I felt like an old man, in old clothes, on my own, looking like a fool standing next to a gaudy flip chart.  People in cars driving past must think I’m crazy.  I probably embarrass some Christians.  And yet, God uses what is weak and foolish as a means to show his strength and wisdom.

 

A young couple went past (teens).  I recognised them, I’d talked to them before.  We fell into an easy chat, and I was quick to swing it to spiritual things.  She was the main talker.  She thought about what happens after life, but her way of dealing with it was to put her head in the sand.  Enjoy this life and try not to worry about the next.  My focus was to not let her hold that attitude, but to make her realise that if she faced it, there was hope.  We ended up talking about evil and suffering.  I dealt with this in my usual way.  I gave hope that there would be justice for sin (no one will get away with anything) but also there was mercy and an everlasting life without suffering or evil.  We can respond to evil either with bitterness or forgiveness.  God gave us the ultimate example of what we should do: Jesus' sacrifice.

 

It was a daunting chat, because, sadly, we talked about some pretty dark things.  A very real reminder of the depravity of man.  Sadly, I didn’t get to finish giving my answer to why there is evil and suffering.  They had to move on.  But my heart goes out to them.  I’m going to be regularly praying for them, and I really want to talk to them again.

 

I was grateful to be able to process this chat with one of my elders at church today.  I’m reminded that, although talking about these deep issues can be daunting: the responsibility for salvation is not on us - we have responsibility, but not for God’s job; and we are part of a body of believers - we don’t have to do this alone.

 

Friday’s chat was with an older Muslim man.  It was a conversation that probably would never have started under normal conditions, but I was squeezed into a small spot (other conversations happening around me) and he just happened to be weaving through.  It was natural for me to look up and ask the question: “Excuse me sir, can I ask, what do you think happens after life?”

 

He was a bit taken aback.  But he got engaged anyway.  A few times he asked, “why are you asking me these questions?”.  I was always honest with my answer: I wanted him to understand the sure hope for heaven.  Part of him wanted to move on, but another part of him didn’t want to leave.  He was being forced to face the truth in contrast to things he has held to his whole life.  So, it was a bit of an awkward chat, a very deep tension between us was bubbling under the surface.  Both of us wanting to be polite as our ideologies clashed.  Part way through our chat, he asked for a tract - I think that was the part of him that really wanted to hear this wonderful truth.  I gladly gave him one, and then the conversation ploughed on.  He kept bucking away from the truth, and I gently kept bringing him back to it.  He used various techniques for this, eventually trying to bring political tension into the picture as a distraction.  I wouldn’t let him, pulling him back to the reality that he would be standing before God, alone, on judgement day.

 

The tension under the surface was so tight that I eventually cracked.  I lost my cool, ever so slight, sadly.  But it was good to break that tension and finish up then anyway.  I wasn’t going to make any more progress for the time being.  We parted ways with a handshake.  But, inwardly, I was shaking a bit after that chat.  It was a very real spiritual battle going on.

 

On Tuesday, Roger and I were both in Riccarton for an outreach in very crisp weather (sunny but cold).  The outreach was busy, I think because of school holidays.  I ended up finishing the outreach in a nearby coffee shop with a man who was keen to talk (it was dark and really cold by this stage)!  I think he is keen to talk again next Tuesday.  He knows where we are.

 

Thank you for your prayer for this gospel work, here in Christchurch, NZ.  Be encouraged in your own evangelism efforts, wherever you are.  Tell people about Jesus.  Glory to God alone.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday July 10th 2024 from 1300-1500

It was a busy and fruitful 2 hour session of outreach at Sunnybank. Both Johnny had numerous divine appointment for long and short conversation with both non-believers and Christians.

2) Celine a Filipino Catholic Christian typically lack assurance of salvation. Tried to clarify with bus arriving very quick.

3) Two James Cook Student from Kenya admitting they are Christians after sharing the gospel to them. However, like 95% of Christians I met on the street, both of them are lacking assurance of salvation but clarified in time. Very happy to have selfie with me.

5) Faced consecutive rejections by 3 / 4 persons.

6) Then caught up with a Mainlander from Henan now studying at UQ , admitted an Atheist , as such feel indifference to Gospel

7)Bump into Wu Tam from East Hill Ku of Guangzhou , he recognized my voice and I asked him for a chat saying that we had four encounters hearing the gospel in the past 4 years , even though he is not yet a believer, but he was happy to connect as friend with me via Wechat. Pray for God's continuous work on him and his family who are all very friendly to me.

8 ) Two Mainlander girls both are UQ students and one is from Shuntak , appeared very keen to meet a Cantonese speaking people like me Though not enough time to get into gospel, she willingly took a tract.

10) Next was Zhou from Changsha Hunan doing Mechanical Engineering at UQ he was very friendly and care to listen to my testimony first then the gospel.

11) Then I was moved to connect with a Mainlander girl by the name of Liu?. She is from Jilin but already migrated to Australia for 10 years initially she did not want to chat especially no interest to faith, but after ice breaking but finally could still touch base on a life of peace that we cannot find apart from Jesus using myself as a testimony

12) Local Aussie playing computer game, have a few words then asked for pardon to go back to his game.

13) Then, a long chat with Jerry being a migrant family living in Mackay the mining town for 10 years. Thus he is inspired to do mining engineering in UQ now in the second year. Also shared my life witness then the gospel with positive feedback as such a selfie afterwards.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday July 9th 2024 from 1330-1430

Another normal day for street outreach by Johnny and Hung as a team. There were occasional rejections but majority were friendly and open sharing of Gospel with nonbelievers as well as nominal Christians. In His name and His strength, we could work with God on mission to reach out souls from near and or afar all by the grace and election of God.

1) Ashley local Aussie girl, shared full gospel and 100% receptive

2) John elderly Migrant from Poland since 7 years old, might be of Catholic background, admitted we are all imperfect sinners all need Jesus. But still not 100% sure and clear about the basis of salvation is all the work of Jesus dying for us.

3) A French Working holiday now has job as landscaper. He wants to be a pilot , just did not have time for the Gospel but delighted to take a tract.

4) Bangladesh Muslim man doing a PHD degree in mining engineering marketing with a Mathematic back ground. Despite a scientist mind, he was the rare one regarding Mohammad as person of perfect.

5) Then caught up with an Australian born Indian girl who did not have enough patience to chat while she had her sandwich lunch.

6) Local Brissie with Scottish and Poland blood appeared to be a nominal Christian with assurance of salvation.

7) Masha with a Taiwanese dad and an Aussie mum who at the end admit she is a Christian after I had shared her the full Gospel.

Christchurch (NZ) Team

3 street outreaches this week.  Roger couldn’t make the Tuesday one, and the weather was poor, so I worked online instead that day.  But the team was out for the usual outreaches on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

 

I’m going to work backwards in my report (starting with Sunday).

 

But before I do, for those that read these reports (anyone? ;) ), and living in NZ, I want to let you know of some evangelism training opportunities coming up.  Within the next 12 months, we will be running our standard evangelism training sessions in: Wellington (Sept), Christchurch (Oct), Whangarei (Nov), and in Dunedin (Feb 2025).  There will be a couple of theory sessions in the morning, and then a street outreach in the afternoon.  Plus, in Wellington, Whangarei, and Dunedin, we will also be doing a week of street outreach (we do that every week in Christchurch).  So, if you’d be interested in being involved, check out the details here.

 

Okay, so, today (Sunday) I was in the city for a couple of hours.  It ended up being a busy outreach.  My first hour was focused on 2 conversations.

 

The first was with a man who had tattoos all over his face.  Like, across his nose, from ear to ear it was totally inked in.  He looked really rough.  But, I don’t want to discriminate, and so I smiled and offered him a tract.  He took it and we fell into an easy conversation.  When he realised who I was and what I was doing, he wanted to put his best foot forward.  He told me how long he had been drug free, and that he was trying to clean up his life.  Going from there, I was able to share the law and the gospel.  Cleaning up your life won’t remove the punishment for the wrong you’ve already done.  I had started on the check questions when some of his friends came past.  He decided to join them.

 

But, later in the outreach, he came past again.  I was able to give him the next check questions, and he got it right!  But it went downhill from there.  He was still nice, but he dropped the mask.  He started using bad language freely, and his bitterness and frustration about life circumstances came out.  I realised I wasn’t going to make more progress with him today, but a seed had been sown.  He accepted the gospel of John from me.

 

The other chat from the first hour was with a regular.  I’ve been talking to this guy from time to time on the streets for years.  Whenever we see each other, we wave.  Today he decided to chat.  And without me starting it, the conversation moved to spiritual things.  We ended up talking about why there is evil and suffering even though God is in control.  He also was cheating in some online mobile game he was playing, he felt convicted by this, and so I used this as an opportunity to remind him of the law (Matthew 5:48: you must be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect), and the gospel (through Jesus sacrifice, we can be made perfect).

 

For the second hour, I was feeling tired.  I decided to go for ‘walk ups’.  But ended up back where I was.  I focused on handing out tracts (I love it when people you don’t expect take one - you just don’t know where people are at), and ended up getting a few good opportunities to share the gospel.  The final opportunity was with 4 young teen guys.  2 ‘Christians’, 1 Muslim, and a guy with no religious background.  Great chat.

 

Saturday’s outreach in Riccarton was a bit slow, but I ended up having an awesome chat in the end.  It was with a young man (high school age).  It was a fairly textbook chat, I used the flip chart and hit every page.  This kid already had a Bible.  Some people had given him one outside his school.  I assume it was Gideon's, and I was so encouraged by that.  I pointed him to the gospel of John.

 

Friday’s outreach was busy.  Roger, Andy and myself.  The highlight chat was with 2 young guys.  I had been doing a bit of a wander, and I encountered them at the intersection of Hereford and Oxford.  We were crossing the road in opposite directions.  But instead of crossing, I waited for them to cross to me, and then I engaged them.  They were willing to talk, and soon became invested, so I was able to slow down a bit to labour with them.  One of them in particular seemed impacted - it was great to see.   I ended up giving them both a copy of the gospel of John, as they said they would read it.

 

Andy and I finished the outreach pairing up.  We managed to get into a chat with 3 young people.  They guy bolted, but the 2 ladies were keen to chat.  Sadly, the main talking became subtly resistant, and constantly pulled the conversation in a direction that would deliberately make things ‘muddy’.  I wanted to try to leave her to Andy, so I could engage the other lady.  It almost worked, but soon after, the conversation ended.  But not before we were able to give gospel tracts.  God willing we’ll have more opportunities to talk to them.

 

Thanks for your prayer and support, all glory to God alone!

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday July 3rd 2024 from 1300-1500

Today was a doom and overcast day but a brilliant time for Street outreach at Sunny bank. With the youngsters Edwin Qin and Shu Ei joining Johnny and Hung as a team, we almost covered any person coming forward to that North Bound Bus Stop outside the Sunnybank Plaza. The overall result was very good, apart from a few rejections, majority conversations led to fruit bearing results with the clear evidence of the work of the Holy Spirit in and amongst us. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung: -

1) Alias a teenage local Brissie, was fully convinced of the message and logic of the gospel. Promised to make his step of faith to receive Jesus. He showed appreciation by taking a selfie with me.

2) Three mainlanders girls skeptical about my approach and found an excuse to catch another bus to leave.

3) Came across a Taiwanese by the name of Chen who study Business at QUT. Briefly covered the nutshell of the gospel and handed him a tract when his bus arrived.

4) Jesses from Toowoomba of Pentecostal background to Brisbane for study. He was diagnosed with 100% Assurance and accurate understanding of the basis of salvation. Happy to take a selfie with me.

5) Next caught up with a Taiwanese tall guy coming for working holiday , also cover a brief nutshell of gospel only.

6) Then was led to approach an Australia Born Chinese lady who Claimed to be Christian but lack assurance of salvation.

7) Then bump into with Hu from Guanzhou who could not speak fluent Cantonese. He studied at UQ but sought help if he can paid bus fare by VISA card. I summon Shu Eh to help and have a final sharing of Gospel.

8 )Two dyed hair mainlander appeared a bit avoidance to chat and left as soon as their bus arrived.

9) Rejected by another English speaking lady.

10) Wells is a Malaysian Muslim who believes in God as such he opined no one can go to heaven unless that believe in God. Tried to differentiate how the Muslim God deals with sins in comparison to the Christian God by the redemptive grace of Jesus but could not yet have time to touch on the key role of Jesus.

11) Lastly, Shu Ei promoted me to chat with Yun? from Hong Kong to study Law here at QUT. Initially he bluntly declined to chat, but I appeal to befriend with him on account we are Hongkonger and assert his choice to be a lawyer upkeeping the Rule of Law. At the end, I use personal testimony to share the impact of gospel and salvation changing my life and affirm his choice to study law which is also one of the role to upheld righteousness in the crooked world.

Toowong (QLD) Team

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday July 2nd 2024 from 1330-1430

It was a forecasted rainy day, but it is never a deterrence for Johnny and Hung to do street outreach. Moreso, Hung have the faith to bring no umbrella or wearing a raincoat. God again honored His promise to be with us while we were on mission with Him. The rain drifting down intermittently whole day did stop when we walked to the bus stop but rained again while we were doing outreach under the cover of the bus stop booth, then it stopped again to let us not get wet on our way back to Toowong Village. Also the work of the Holy Spirit was very prominent today, apart from a few avoidance people, whoever happy to chat with us from whatever country and even with different religions including atheist, they all appeared very open and receptive despite a few show initial reluctance or sarcastic attitude, they ended up showing God their thumb up to appreciate our insistence to share them the gospel. Any sign was the willingness to take selfie photo with me as a gesture of their appreciation for the gospel God used us to share with them. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung:

1) First I was led to approach a girl from Dubai who however was not religious. But she got connected with me because she is studying Psychology while I did a Master of counselling which is a joint venture between Psychology and Social Science. She showed openness to the gospel and appear convinced of the logic that whoever not perfect in our human character needs to accept Jesus as our savior.

2) Then Rejected by three persons.

3) Then I caught up with an Indonesia student doing Chemical engineering that allowed me to build rapport because of my past work experience with Indonesian Petermina petrol oil company. He also showed openness to the gospel.

4) Albin from India was very receptive to the gospel and ended up taking a selfie with me.

5) Natalie a girl from Chilean doing Marketing and communication, she is non-religious but was also convinced of the logical message of the gospel that whoever not perfect need Jesus as Savior to cleanse of all our sin. She was rejoiced to take selfie with me showing off the tract I gave her.

6) Then I was led to approach Kim. a Chinese look Kim Thai girl. She is a Buddhist but at the end, also convinced even the Buddha was not perfect and need a Savior, not to mention us, the ordinary good persons.

7) Finally I have a long chat with Bessy a French men coming to Australia on working holiday visa. He is also non religious but have a kingdom mind set to make friends with people of all nations and come to Australia to improve his English. He also fully accept the logic and admitted he need Jesus.

Christchurch (NZ) Team

This week we ran 2 special outreaches for an NZ public holiday on Friday: Matariki.  We had great weather (unlike for the beginning of the week, when there was a lot of rain), although it was cold, so we needed our puffer jackets on!

 

It was great to have big teams, and many members of our own church, Redemption Church, involved.

 

In the morning we were in Riccarton.  Rudi, Vinil, Jonathan, Jerome, Elijah, were with Andy and I.  It was a bit of a slow start, I guess many people were taking advantage of an opportunity for a sleep in?  So, we had to work a bit to make some opportunities to share the gospel.  We had a flip chart up, which a pair would run, the rest of us did walk up.

 

When I was paired with Rudi, the pickings were slim.  But we wandered up to the bus stops distributing tracts.  I got into a short chat with a lady who was willing to chat while we walked. Within a minute she was at her destination, and so I had to wrap up with a tract.  God can use that!

 

Later, I was paired up with Jonathan.  I overheard 4 girls say something about ‘church’, and so I grabbed at that to see if I could get a conversation started.  It was a bit awkward, but it worked.  They were willing to engage.  But, a homeless guy overheard, and decided he wanted to ruin the conversation.  I couldn’t ignore him, so I had to abandon the girls to engage the homeless guy.  But, this wasn’t bad for 2 reasons: 1) Jonathan was with me, and 2) this was an opportunity for Jonathan to get involved: sharing the law and the gospel for himself!  It worked out well.

 

After that, we were able to get into a conversation with a couple.  They were tourists from Germany.  They were resistant to hearing the gospel, holding to a mix of philosophies, including concern for climate change, and maybe some eastern religious leaning?  And yet, they stayed around to hear a law and gospel, and she accepted a tract.  It’s a seed.

 

Back at the flip chart, Jonathan and I had a number of opportunities.  A young man, with a Christian background yet was subtly trusting works for salvation, stayed to go through the whole flip chart.

 

To finish off the outreach, we had a large group of kids on scooters come past and engage.  They were all in different places, and I couldn’t hold all of their attention, by the end of the chat I had 3 (+ stragglers) still with me.  Yet, those 3 were engaged.  And 1 even took a copy of the gospel of John.  It wasn’t a long chat, but gospel seeds were scattered on ploughed soil.

 

In the afternoon we were in the city, at the Bridge of Remembrance.  Big team: Mike, Guilaume, Jordan, Emma, Chloe, Josiah, Roger, Jerome, Elijah, Andy and myself.  2 flipcharts.

 

Lots of people about.  There was some military march happening.  The outreach was busy, I was really tired afterwards.  But it was great seeing pods of gospel conversations happening all over the place.  The picture tries to capture it.

 

I ended up in a chat with 2 young men who had Christian backgrounds and yet were rejecting Christ.  They became very engaged.  When Jordan turned up, I pulled him into the conversation.  Between the 2 of us, we talked with these 2 guys for well over an hour.  It was maybe an hour and a half.  I had to disengage from this chat to pair up with other newbies.  But I left them in Jordan’s capable hands.

 

I ended up pairing up with Josiah.  We had a number of good opportunities with people, but they were sadly resistant in different ways.  I ended up using a Minecraft analogy with one of them (building / builder) - and Josiah, being a Minecraft fan, enjoyed that.  It was great, because this guy could tell I was the main talker, and so he decided to pull Josiah into the conversation!

 

By the end of the outreach, I was back with Jordan in the original conversation.  He was talking to Justin, and so I continued with Issac.  After addressing all of Issac’s important questions, he was left with nothing but the truth: he is rejecting Christ because he loves his sin - he was honest about that.  His Mum is a member of a good local church - I even know the pastor.  This kid knew the gospel, and so I called him to repentance.  I pleaded with him that the pleasure of sin would be bitter and lead him to hell fire.  It’s not worth it.  I’m helpless to change him.  But God can.  Early in the chat, I suggested that he has parents or grandparents that are praying for him.  I now know he also has a pastor praying for him.  Our meeting on the street was no coincidence.  Sometimes hearing it from someone else can help.  I’m praying for Issac too now.  God save him!

 

On Sunday afternoon, Binu joined me in the city, and we handed out tracts for an hour.  I had a couple of good chats.

 

One in particular was a highlight.  A young couple stopped to engage (it amazes me that so many blast past me, and yet some are keen to stop and chat).  They were open.  He thought there was ‘something’, she didn’t like thinking about the afterlife.  And so starting from there I was able to reason with them about the reality of the bad news, and then the hope of the good news.  Such a good chat.  They walked off with the gospel seed planted.  I have no idea what the result will be.  They are in God’s hands.

 

Thank you for continuing to pray for this ministry.  Be encouraged as you make and take gospel opportunities in your day to day life.  All glory to God alone.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday June 19th 2024 from 1300-1500

Hurrah, today we had a strong team of four with Edwin Qin and Shu I joining Johnny and Hung during their term break. The two youngsters were fruitful gospel workers. Edwin made use of every opportunity to catch up with people. Shu I was blessed to have led a youngster called Jerry to Christ with a proper Conversion prayer. Johnny and Hung on the other hands had a couples of long chats sharing not just the gospel but life testimony. Recap below is a brief account of Hung's Battle Log today at Sunnybank.

1) I was led to approach first a Mixed Chinese Vietnamese girl who was born in Australia. After sharing the full gospel , she revealed she is a Christian. But upon checking, she is in lack of assurance of salvation but was clarified.

2) Then I had a long chat with Mr Chan from Guangzhou but has migrated to Australia for a long while. Their bus experienced delay as such I had over half and hour to share first my testimony then the full gospel and finally about the Jehovah Rapha God in charge of my late Bladder Cancer healing and treatment process. They really shared my peace and joy in life irrespective of challenges and trial.

3) Then I caught up with Kaiser a lady from Melbourne. She is

non religious but pure as child to embrace the gospel and invitation to come to Christ. She may be people with minor mental issue but her heart was all open to the gospel.

4) Next a Korean but show no interest but still took a tract.

5) Julie yet another Vietnamese girl pf grade 9 born in Australia. She was all good and welcoming for gospel sharing.
