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.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday June 25th, 2024 from 1330-1430

It was a pleasant Winter afternoon, but a comparatively quiet one. Yet, both Johnny and Hung still got divine appointments through the led of the Holy Spirit. We were graceful to serve with God this way that we are both the first hand beneficiary out of this Gospel preaching ministry. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung: -

1) Fouzia an UQ student from Ethiopia and visibly a Muslim in Islamic costume. But she appeared very receptive to gospel and accept the logical need of all good persons for Jesus as our Savior to take our place for the punishment of our sin. She wanted to take a selfie with me but the bus would not wait. Thanks to Johnny having taken a photo of us from the back.

2) Next approached a Mainlander young man who also was willing to chat but the bus came too quick.

3) Natalie a Filipino with family of Catholic background but she herself is not yet a believer. but still a pursuer. She also thanked for my gospel sharing.

4) Then I was led to chat with an Uganda high school student. He claimed he is from a Christian family. So I test his assurance of salvation which fall short of 100% but stays at 80% Managed to clarify with him and he showed appreciation by taking a selfie with me.

5) Then I was led to catch up with an ABC of Chinese parents. She alerted me to recall we had a chat before so I took the chance to have a revision on the gospel message with her and she sounded receptive to the message.

6) Last but not the least. I was led to approach a very modern girl by the name Li ?from Jinan, Shandong China ( ) Her hair is dyed golden orange. It did reflect her mindset is also quite open thus she did not shows resentment to hear the gospel and actually appeared very receptive to the logical deduction that as long as all human are imperfect, we all have the need for a Savior to take our place to receive the punishment of eternal death originally due on us. She accept our tract but asked for an English one.

Some of my report for this week is going to be 2nd hand information: from Andy.  He had a very encouraging day on Friday.

 

But as I write this, I would normally be on the streets, but it’s pouring with rain, so I’m taking the option of working online this afternoon, where it’s dry!  Yes, I’ve had many wonderful conversations - even out in the wet and cold, and yet, I can have wonderful conversations in the warm and dry as well!

 

So, only 2 street outreaches this week.  In the city on Friday afternoon with Andy, and in Riccarton on Saturday morning.

 

But before I go further, I just want to mention that we have just confirmed a 2nd evangelism trip to the Philippines that I want to let you know about.  The team is going in September 2024 - Andy and I can’t make that one.  But, we are now also going in early March 2025.  It’s a wonderful opportunity to come out of your normal environment and focus on sharing the gospel with the lost in another cultural context.  We get to work alongside an awesome local church, Rock of Refuge in Manila, plus other churches as well in a shared mission to reach the lost with the gospel.  These trips are for a week and a half each.  If you’d like to learn more, and apply, check out the details here.

 

Okay, so now back to the usual report.

 

Andy had an amazing chat online on Friday morning.  It was with a young man who had already been considering the claims of Christ; a friend of his went through a very difficult time in his life, and as a result he came to Christ and so he had been witnessing to this guy, yet he wasn’t yet ready to commit.  Andy had the privilege of coming in and ‘closing the deal’ (I hate that term, because we are not selling anything, and yet, it conveys what happened).  Sometimes it helps to hear it from a different avenue I guess, but Andy was able to clarify concepts, answer questions and challenge him to respond.  He realised he had no reason not to do so.  What a joy!

 

Then on the street, he had a string of wonderful chats.  First with a group of 3 Americans (pictured).  After a few minutes, they warmed up to the conversation and engaged, asking good questions and hearing the good news of Jesus.

 

We then headed down towards Ara, attempting to strike up chats on the way.  Once at Ara, Andy had an amazing chat with a young Catholic high school student (also pictured).  The kid even had a Bible with him, and so Andy was able to use it to clarify concepts with him (from Romans).

 

While this was happening, I had a great chat with a young man called Nat.  Nat grew up within a Christian context and yet he was unsure about it all.  I had a wonderful opportunity to minister: clarifying the gospel and how we can know these things to be true.  I was also able to answer questions.  Eventually we walked down the street and found a good spot where we could sit and finish the conversation comfortably (there was a lot of traffic noise).  He thanked me at the end, as he moved on with a gospel tract.

 

Once that chat had finished, I noticed a large group of students - some of them I’ve talked to on previous outreaches.  I said hello, but none of them seemed interested in a chat.  By this stage Andy was with me, when a guy walked past and so I prompted him with: “Hey, can I ask you a question, it’s a deep one, what do you think happens after life?”  He engaged, and Andy and I ended up having a long conversation with him.  He was an atheist.  He understood that you can have infinite regresses; and yet he was stuck on the problem of “Who made God?”.  The answer is, because we can’t have infinite regresses, God must have had no beginning (and so needs no maker) because the universe did have a beginning (and so does need a maker).  When you think about it, the answer is clear, but he just couldn’t (or didn’t want to) see it.  I laboured with him for a few cycles before cutting to the law, and then the gospel.  We discussed evil and suffering.  But, sadly, it all seemed a bit wasted on him, he just didn’t see it.  Yet, the gospel is the power of God for salvation, in time it may bear fruit?  And at the very least, Andy and I got to bask in the wonder of the gospel for ourselves.  That Joseph understood that his brothers sold him into slavery so God could save his brothers just blows my brain!  God truly uses all things for the good of those who love him, and ultimately for his glory.

 

When I checked the time, the outreach was well past over.  So, we walked with this guy to his destination (the bus exchange) before heading off for a hot chocolate for ourselves.

 

I spent an hour in Riccarton on Saturday morning.  I had 2 special encounters.

 

The first was right at the beginning, the first person to walk past accepted a gospel tract.  She was a Muslim lady - she was interested in the front page of the flip chart.  It was a short chat, yet a powerful one.  She was trusting in her works, and the law seemed to pull the rug out from under her, before I was able to explain the good news of Jesus.  She accepted a tract.

 

Then I had a young man approach me, he knew me, but I didn’t remember me.  Once he gave me his name, a vague recollection came back.  He used to be a Christchurch Boys’ High student.  But he now works for a furniture removal company.  Sadly, he didn’t remember the gospel.  And so I was able to point him to it again.

 

Well, that’s the week.  I’ve got a few more hours of labour online before having a day off tomorrow.

 

God bless you as you take and even make opportunities to share the gospel with those around you this coming week.  Thank you for your prayer and support.

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

It was yet another Spirit led Street Gospel Outreach with the elected ones chosen to have some long chat with either Johnny and Hung. For instance, Johnny caught up with a lady from Taiwan but he initially mistaken her as an English-speaking person but quickly found out she is from Taiwan but coming to Australia on a working holiday visa. She co-incidentally lives at the home of a Formosa Church Pastor and attended his church every now and then with a lot of questions. Now God led her to meet with Johnny and chatted over 45 minutes of so to clarify all her questions. God is praise worthy to line up such divine appointments for us to work with him. As for me, God gave me urge to approach a First nations Family but we chatted only a short time and the mum and all other family members got on to a bus with the 18years old son left waiting for another bus. Though the mother said her son cannot speak, but I was still led to talk to him with mutually edification result. It was overall a mutually uplifting experience for both the preachers and the receivers.

1) First I was led to approach Young man by the name of Gao? who is from Huzhou in Jie Jiang. He is a UQ student but behaved very politely and appeared to be open for the gospel listening up all gospel sharing in a friendly manner. It was extraordinary to Mainlander students who are caution not to have a chat with us.

2) Then I approached a Filipino lady. She admitted she is a Catholic Christian so while I was trying to test her assurance of salvation but was interrupted by Johnny asking me to talk to a HongKonger.

3) Justin this Hongkonger attended the living water church of the BCAC in West End, He possibly is a new comer, so he was worrying about his church having no pastor to minister as Rev Thomas is leaving. I assured him that the BCAC and Living Water Church must have all plan B to fill the gap before they really can find a replacement.

4) Damon a very handsome cross breed First Nations young man of 18 years old who was waiting for bus to go back to his Tarragindi home. He is a dumb person who could not speak, but there is no sense of self-pity shown in his face. I ended up having an extended long conversation with him using all the hands gestures and body language plus writing on the iPhone. Their family have been urbanized possibly through the lost generation avenue to get educated and upbringing by the Missions as a fair dinkum White Aussie. They have lost their ethnicity link so they do not have any family or clan connection to allow them to return to their home land anymore. But to my surprise, their family and he himself are fair dinkum Christian and is church going. Above all, he passed the assurance test that he has 100 % assurance of salvation that he can finally go to Heaven simply just because of the redemptive work of Christ.

5) The I caught up with a Fijian and Mori girl of Catholic background. She was open to chat but it was a pity her bus came too quickly that I did not have time for testing her assurance of salvation.

6) Next was an Indian boy possibly an Australian born Indian. He is not religiou0s but still open minded to gospel message and took a tract afterwards.

7) Then I was led to talk to another Australian Born Taiwanese. He seems to be an atheist so just listen but show indifference to the gospel message.

8 ) Finally I tried to catch up with another Asian look person. Yet his nationality cannot be determined. He was so shy and his English is too bad for any even elementary conversation. Finally he took a tract out of politeness.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday June 18th, 2024 from 1330-1430

It was yet another cheerful and glorious day of gospel outreach under the warm Winter sun. There mixed reaction but overall speaking, we could feel the hands of God behind each and every divine appointment whether a smooth or difficult conversation, God was always in control. Both Johnny and Hung had some long and quality conversations with either first timer or people with multiple chats. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) I was led to approach first a Japanese girl who comes to learn English at the Language School of UQ. Mt Japanese greeting aroused her interest and allow me to share the full gospel to her till the bus came.

2) Linghan an English speaking Malaysian, though claimed to be an Atheist, but appeared very open and receptive to the gospel sharing as he could not find any illogicality in the need of a Salvation as it is universally agreed that no human is perfect as such we all need a Savior to redeem us from the bondage and judgement of sin. I at one moment even thought he is readily a Christian but on parting he told me he actually is an Atheist. So I can only claim this is the miraculous work of the Spirit to soften his heart turning him around to admit he also needs Jesus. He showed his appreciation by taking a selfie joyfully with me.

3) Then I had a brief chat with a young man from Nanjing who comes to study engineer at UQ. He showed impartially to gospel sharing and took a tract at the end.

4) Then I caught up with a Head student from SMT called Queensland Academy for Science Mathematics and Technology, a selective State School for elite student founded in 2007. She has around 15-20 badges of honor pinned on her overcoat life those veteran did on Anzac day parade. It was a perfect illustration of how a good or even excellent person she is but still she needs salvation like every body else as long as she admitted she is still imperfect.

5) Then I was led to catch up with a Belarus girl Valerian who is non religious but still friendly to listen to the gospel and took a tract at the end.

6) Another long chat with Anna an ABC of half Aussie (Mom) and half Chinese (Dad). She finally disclosed she once a church going Christian but no more. I encourage her to reconnect with God as we must remain in Him to be able to keep growing towards perfection through the life transformation work of the Holy Spirit, on top of the foundation of Jesus' redemptive grace granting us readily the long lost heavenly citizenship and life of eternity. She was graceful for my sharing and joyfully took a selfie with me.

7) Lastly, I caught up with a girl form Shanghai. It was a pity there was not enough time for full Gospel and she also took no tract at the end.

A more difficult week of outreach this week.  Yet, no chat is in vain!  For all I know, those difficult opportunities will lead to an increase: salvation of souls.  God uses us in our weakness for his glory.

 

So, we skipped 2 street outreaches due to rain (Friday and Saturday).  So I was only at each location once this week.  Riccarton on Tuesday afternoon with Roger and in the city on Sunday afternoon.

 

But, this meant I did more online (and even that was difficult this week!)  Yet, the work online (via needGod.net) is so encouraging.  Not only are we reaching thousands of people with the gospel, I’m seeing individual Christians growing in their apologetics and evangelism.

 

I’m seeing massive growth in the ability of some people who I have been involved with during their initial training.  To listen to their conversations, then and now - the contrast is amazing, glory to God!  So, don’t give up, keep practising, that’s the key.  And online, it is so easy to do!  We offer free training, so if you are interested, get in touch!

 

So, reporting on the 2 street outreaches.  Last week in Riccarton, I was really busy in conversations, this week it was very slow.  So slow in fact that I decided to abandon my flip chart and go look for conversations to have.  This did the trick.  I wandered down Riccarton Road and I was quickly engaged in a conversation with 2 high school students.

 

I then had a special chat with a young lady right outside the bus terminal.  She was going to a church, but her motive for attending wasn’t right, and she wasn’t understanding the gospel.  I had a short opportunity to engage her.  She eventually asked an interesting question: “why isn’t God doing more to reach people”.  My answer was that I was talking to her right now!  God is raising up an army of people to go to the world with the gospel.  That’s you and me.  Regular Christians with an amazing, yet deep, yet simple message of Jesus.  Let’s be polite, and yet, let’s be bold in proclaiming it to the world around us.

 

Roger and I ended up wrapping up the outreach a little bit earlier than usual.  It finished with Roger having a conversation with a young Muslim man (pictured).  I could tell he wasn’t really interested in engaging, because he would keep avoiding the subject by asking questions about other topics.  I think Roger even said that he had rung his Iman for help!

 

On Sunday afternoon, the sun was back, and plenty of people were out and about.  Yet, I struggled to get conversations started.  I moved over to the sunny side of the street, and then I decided to go for a wander.

 

I approached someone down by the Avon river, but he wasn’t willing to engage, as I moved back to Oxford Terrace, I finally got some engagement with 2 guys.  But, sadly they had hot pizza and coke, and they wanted to move on and eat.  They took tracts.

 

Finally, back at the corner of Cashel and Colombo, I got into a short chat with 4 teen guys.  They didn’t really want to engage, so I had to work to keep them, but I was able to share the law and the gospel, before letting them move on.  Seed dropped.  May others be able to come and water it.  Are you ready?  I decided to head home early and work online.  Thanks for your prayer and support of our feeble efforts for his glory!

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday June 12th 2024 from 1300-1500

Hurrah, we had Edwin Qin Hao rejoining Johnny and Hung today at Sunnybank. Hopefully, he could join while in his BST term break till early July. He is a diligent and efficient evangelist capable of outreaching to as many more as led by God cross-culturally. In the meantime, Johnny and Hung both got their divine appointment to have conversations with all non-believers. Hung was especially led to more Mainlanders or Hong Kongers except the last long chat with an urbanized Indigenous people.

1) I was led to approach first a lady from Shanghai who studies at QUT. She appeared a bit sceptical about gospel, but still politely listen to the sharing of the full gospel before her bus came.

2) Next I was led to talk to a Girl from Taiwan who studies at QUT. She claimed we have chatted before I anyway quickly revised the message before her bus arrived.

3) Then I met a Hong Konger who claimed he does not speak Mandarin. He anyway is a UQ student but lives in the CBD. He declared himself a Buddhist, but I affirm all religion are good for guiding people to be a good person yet none of them address and resolve the issue of sin. He politely kept listening but was apparently not impressed.

4) Then have another long chat with a lady from Chengdu who accompanies her boyfriend to study here. Perhaps because knowing I had involved in the disaster relief through counselling so I was accepted to have more open chat of all life issues. She actually behaved very thoughtful and open and found the gospel quite receptive.

5) Yet another Hong Konger and held an impartial view toward the issue of human nature and the impact of sin to the human race as such he delightfully took a tract at the end.

6) Finally, I was led to catch up with Matari, an Indigenous people lives in Brisbane and of Christian background though not a church going person. But he understood the gospel and salvation and showed appreciation for us three to tirelessly share the gospel to people of all Nations including him as the people of the First nations. He was more than happy to take a picture with me as a evidence we are now friend in Christ.

I think I’m getting back into the routine of the regular weekly outreaches now that the summer special outreaches are well and truly past.  All four street outreaches went ahead this week - which was great.

 

Roger was with me in Riccarton on Tuesday afternoon.  My notes say “Straight into a chat with Hunter: had a lack of interest”.  I have no recollection of that particular conversation now, but it’s great that I was straight to work.  The outreach was busy!  It went for the full 2 hours, and so it was dark by the time we finished.

 

I also can’t remember the chat I had with “2 guys with glasses”, but I do remember the chat with the 2 Burnside High School kids very well.  Roger was busy with another chat, and the 2 kids were intrigued by his flip chart, even to the point where they were looking at the 2nd pages on their own!  So, I popped over to Roger’s side to engage them.  It was an awesome conversation.  Sadly, neither of them had ever heard the gospel.  Yet, gladly, they were very open.  The chat was textbook, and they followed the logic smoothly.  When I challenged them to respond to the gospel, there was a pause, and one of them said, “this is the first time I’ve heard this, I need some time to process it”.  That’s fair.  And yet, I explained how this message is simple and urgent to respond too.  I think they’d be prime candidates for my church's new foundation Bible study.

 

A third Burnside High School student tried to join this chat, but by this stage, Roger was free again, and so I directed him to Roger - which was great.

 

Back on my side of the street, 3 more high school students passed and were willing to chat (Roger had talked to 2 of them on the previous Friday’s outreach, so it was a partial follow up).  There wasn’t yet gospel clarity, and so I went back to the start.  It was wonderful seeing the reaction of one of them in particular.  She became very engaged as she got check questions wrong and learned why.  Glory to God, it was a wonderful chat.

 

As they moved on, a young man on a scooter came over, he wanted to try the good person test.  We ended up having a long conversation.  He struggled to grasp the gospel, not able to believe that salvation would be a gift.  I had to labour with him on both the law and the gospel.  I’m very grateful for the wonderful suite of check questions I have to utilise for this purpose.  I ended up giving him a church contact card with my contact details and an invite to our next Sunday gathering and the foundation Bible study.  I haven’t heard from him, yet he has the gospel seed.  I leave him in God’s hands for others to follow up and water.

 

On Friday, Andy and Roger were with me in the city.  I ended up doing a wander to Cathedral Square and back to the Bridge of Remembrance, having chats as I went.  I had a great chat with a young man who was in a Catholic school uniform.  He seemed to have a click moment with the gospel, which was great.  I also talked to a flat earther, and then a group of 3 european tourists.

 

But the highlight chat was with a young man from Italy.  In God’s providence, He had 2 Christian evangelists talk to him today!  He showed me a Gideon’s New Testament and gospel booklet that had been given to him earlier in the day - probably one of the OAC guys.  God is good!  So I had a wonderful follow up chat with him.

 

Back at the Bridge of Remembrance, it was great to see both Andy and Roger busy in conversations.  The harvest field is so ripe, the opportunity is endless!

 

I was also able to have a couple more conversations.  This outreach ended up going longer than usual, which is great.  God is good.

 

On Saturday I was back in Riccarton.  From memory, this outreach was a bit slower than usual.  And yet, I was still there, with my flip chart, a banner, with the name of Jesus on it (figuratively) being salt and light in the community.  I would hand out tracts, and I had a number of conversations, often shorter ones.  Ploughing, sowing.

 

After getting back from this outreach, I joined the online training outreach.  I had a very memorable conversation with a Sikh who lived in Portugal.  The conversation went for 45 minutes.  He was engaged enough to stay that long, but he really struggled to grasp the gospel, constantly defaulting back to ‘be good’, as the reason to get to heaven.  After much labour to show him how we are not good, and that Jesus is the only solution, I think he was finally grasping it - but maybe not, even at the end, some final checks and he had already started to slip in his thinking.  He is now in God’s hands to convict and convert - in His timing.

 

On Sunday, I had Elijah from church join me in the city for outreach (also Binu turned up to share tracts).  We had a very busy outreach at the corner of Colombo and Cashel.

 

There were a lot of young people out and about (the weather was nice at the start of the outreach).  So our first chat was with 2 young guys.  There was subtle resistance, and one of them was being particularly silly.  And yet, I rolled with that, and proceeded to share the law and the gospel anyway.  2 young girls joined the chat at one point, and so I decided to start fresh with them.  But they didn’t want to engage and walked off.  The 2 guys followed, but I was able to give them tracts before they left.  Interestingly, they soon came back.  And the conversation became more serious, and they engaged more sensibly.  It was great talking to them (we also saw them again right at the end of the outreach).

 

And it’s great seeing Elijah growing in confidence and ability in engaging with people.  By the end of the outreach, he was even engaging people on his own with the flip chart, as I would engage with others a few paces away.

 

One highlight chat was with 2 young ladies.  Fairly open and engaged well.  Elijah did most of the sharing.  The gospel hit home for one of those girls in particular, I could tell in a few ways, but particularly in the questions she would ask.  She accepted a gospel of John.

 

Near the end of the outreach, I had 2 particularly interesting encounters.  The first was when a large group of kids engaged.  Some of them said they had done the flip chart before.  I vaguely remembered some of them.  Yet some of them hadn't done it before.  There were too many for me to engage them all, and so I just cast my line and engaged with whoever responded.  I ended up with 3 of them in conversation.  But they soon had to split.  But as they did, one of them came back, and changed his tone and said something like, “hey man, what you said to me the first time made sense, I’ve started going to a church, thank you so much for what you do”.  Wow, that was encouraging.  Glory to God!  He didn’t have a Bible yet, and so I was able to give him a gospel of John before he went to catch up with his friends.

 

The last encouragement was when 2 guys stopped, I didn’t remember them initially, but when they said they had talked to me before, I remembered it from 3 weeks ago.  His answer to my check was “the mercy of God” which is not as precise as “because Jesus died on the cross”, and so I did some follow up.  But, I think the real reason they stopped was to encourage me, they had been impacted by the first chat (even though 1 of them in particular had been silly at the time).

 

All this to say: DON’T GIVE UP.  The law brings the knowledge of sin, and the gospel is the power of God for salvation.  God has the power to work in the hearts of people through our feeble efforts for his glory.  Don’t give up.  Continue to proclaim the wonderful good news of Jesus, wherever you may be.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday June 5th 2024 from 1300-1500

As normal, Johnny and Hung team up to do street outreach at the Sunnybank North bound bus stop. It was an ordinary day, most of the gospel sharing were in A HURRY and incomplete with a few exception especially the last one with a non-religious Korean. No matter how and in whatever circumstances, we believe God is in full control to use us to sow the gospel seed and in the meantime bring us up as a more mature and faithful servant of God. recap below is the Battle Log of Hung: -

1) First led to approach a young man from Guangzhou . Cn speak Cantonese, and friendly to chat, but once touch upon religious topic, all most instantly switch to avoidance mode.

2) Next was another Mainland Chinese middle age lady, just had 1min to share the nutshell of the gospel.

3) Next was a guy from Northeastern China Jilin, time for sharing was also very brief. But willing to take a tract to read later.

3) Rejected by several including a White Lady unsure of nationality.

4) Then another girl from Guangzhou , who is an UQ student. Willing to listen but just shared half of the Gospel.

5) Via a Filipino Catholic Christian has 100% assurance of salvation but cannot qualify why clearly, though she seems to be on the right track to have faith in God

6) A Kiwi migrated girl of Chinese Cambodian origin is non religious but was open to chat and have shared almost full gospel to her.

7) A young man by the name Li? from Macau, had a long chat with Johnny first, and let me continue to share in Cantonese.

8 ) A Kenya girl migrated to become an Aussie. She is a Muslim and a UQ student.

9) Last but not the least, I had the longest chat with a Korean who is non- religious. Initially he avoided me and flee from my presence to leave the bus stop. But God miraculously moved him to come back to me for a chat on anything but religion. I respect his wish and accompany him for over half an hour to give him chance to chat and brush his English.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday June 4th, 2024 from 1330-1430

Praised be to God, Ben as introduced and led by Gladys both from Toowong Baptist, joined Hung and Johnny today for the first time after an unsuccessful connection two weeks ago when Hung was away on a mission trip to North Qld and Johnny was not available as occupied by a Medical appointment. We wasted no time to do our opening prayer and than chatted along the walk to the bus station. I briefed about the Biblical basis for street multi=cultural outreach, and the way we do it. To my personal joy, all people I met to day were opened , friendly and receptive. Recap below was my Battle Log.

1) First I was led to approach a Hong Konger girl who is no believer but once studied in Christian school in HKG. So she was not completely strange to the gospel message, but she seemed receptive to the idea that as long as we are not perhaps, every normal good persons also need salvation.

2) Next I was led to approach a Muslim by the name Hashish from Bangladesh. Surprisingly he took in the gospel quite well without any preoccupied thought and did not feel offence to hear about Jesus as God and our savior. Happily he took selfie with mew as a gesture of appreciation for our frank and open chat.

3) Kai a local Aussie and UQ student , claimed himself a 50/50 split of Christian. SO I simply shared him the full gospel again and hopefully helped him to rekindle his love of God, Jesus and his salvation.

4) Then I was moved to approach a local Aussie girl, who is a non believers but was brought up from Christian School. We build rapport as she is studying Psychology while I was a Counselor student. She also appreciated hearing the Gospel that had rekindled her heart for Christianly when ahs was young.

5) Last but not the least I caught up with a person from Jiang Xi , he appeared very open and receptive to the gospel
