Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday May 17th, 2022 from 1330 – 1500

As usual, Johnny, Winnie and Hung teamed up to served at Tooowng. The weather was fine and the general response was normal meaning rejection and willingness to listen to Gospel is half half. For me, I met several Christians. To my surprised, majority have full assurance of salvation but still happy to get on with sharing for reinforcing their full understanding of God's three fold salvation. It was also the first time I forgot to bring my own iphone, as such I had to rely on Johnny and Winnie to take pictures for the team. Recap below are the Battle Log of Hung and Winnie:

1) Samuel , a Christian from an Indian Christian Family. His answer to the two diagnosis questions was OK but not perfect. He admitted he should have 100% of assurance of salvation because of simply the redemptive work of Jesus not counting any of our own merit of good deeds, But his seemingly perfect answer was marred by his supplementary remarks that he will endeavor to become a better if not perfect Christian so as to add weight or extra assurance of his salvation. Then clearly his original claim of 100% assurance of salvation is not exactly 100%. What he lacked is the full picture of God's three fold deliverance as per 2 Cor 1:10. Anyway he thanked and appreciated my explanation on this important Christian issue.

2) Then I chatted with Johnny a Christian from Malaysia. His Chinese was limited as such we resorted to chat in English. And to my surprise, he has the best perfect understanding of the gospel and full assurance of salvation. I queried him to have the self awareness that he is still not perfect even becoming a born again Christian, will this diminish his assurance down a few point from 100%. His answer was spot on, his assurance of salvation will not wavier but remain the same at the time he received Christ. So I gave thanks to God for Johnny who has perfect insight on the three fold deliverance as per 2 Cor 1:10.

3) Then I approached an Indian middle age man. He showed me a cold shoulder then I recognized he was the one half a year ago used violence to rob the Good Person Flip Chart and made an ugly scene. Thanks God he did not erupt to day only coldly stopped me to share further the gospel to him. I thanked him anyway for the patience to be bothered by me.

4) Then I was completely neglected by another Asian look young lady with tattoo on her arm. She did not reject and stopped me or asked me to leave. Yet just treated me as transparent air. I of course thanked her to let me bother her for that short while and leave her alone.

5) Then God led me to Chat with a young lady from Singapore who is a non-believer, yet she was opened and happy to listen to the gospel attentively with good and positive response. The bus arrived when I was about to finish and she grasped a tract to make sure she has the full message.

6) Then I met a third Christian from Thailand. He again surprised me with the same perfect articulations of his 100% assurance of salvation. I must give credit to the Missionary who brought the Gospel to him in Thailand. I asked if he is attending church here and he said no. Then I advised him better find a spiritual home , may it be a local church or at least a Christian fellowship group like Power to Change.

7) Finally I had a long chat with Logland , a local Aussie. He is a non-believer but was open to listen to the full Gospel. He was interested to the message and promised to read the tract and ponder further on this good news.

17/5/22 Toowong

感謝主的保守和带領,雖然週日,粤語堂和華語堂 都有一姊妹患有Covid-19,經過我測試後,是陰性。所以我放心今天上 Toowong 傳福音。懇求主繼續保守我,免受病毒感染。還有教會兩位姊妹,希望她們早日康复。阿們!感謝讚美主!

感謝 神!讓我今天遇上很多青年人,分享福音的機會。

1. 澳洲青年人,Trusdy。當我講了一半福音,巴士到達。他説會閲讀單張。

2. 兩位中國青年,Justin & Ryan。當我講完福音,他們説會想想基督信仰。

3. 兩位中國少女,Kim & Rebecca。Kim 是基督徒,她不太明白救恩及真理。所以我從新講述福音及見證给她們聽。她們説會認真的想清楚基督信仰。

4. 澳洲少女,Trish。聽過耶穌名字。但不明白聖經真理。我講述福音及見證给她聽。她説需要時間想清楚基督的信仰。

5. 香港少女,May。她説曾经收過我們的單張。我從新講述福音及見證给她聽。我又説我們不知道明天将會發生什麽事?但是信了主,不用懼怕,可以完全交托给主來安排。看她有感動,我再講及 神的大能。最后她説會認真的想清楚基督信仰。

6. 澳洲少女,Jessica。曾经聽過很多不同的宗教。我對她説,很多宗教都是教人向善,而他們的佛象都是人手造的。基督信仰是三一神,聖父,聖子及聖靈。天地萬物都是神所創造的。跟着我講及亞當和夏娃因不聽上帝的説話,被趕出樂園。罪就開始,一代代傳留至今 。之后我講述福音及見證 神的大能。她聽後,説,會想清楚基督的信仰。

7. 澳洲青年,Alex。他父母是基督徒,但他没有去教會。我從新講述福音及見證给他聽。我也説及你父母是基督徒,將來他們可以上天家。而你一定要悔改信主,受洗。將來你才可以上天家。信仰,救恩是單獨的,不能倚赖父母的信仰。他聽後,他説會跟父母反教會。

8. 非洲青年,Frank。在日本出生。我講完福音後,看他似乎不願信主,但當我再講 神的大能見證後,他説,會認真的想清楚基督信仰。

9. 澳洲青年及澳洲出生的中國少女,Jerry & Betty。當我講完福音及見證後,巴士到達。

10. 印尼來的穆斯林青年,Jeff。我講及基督信仰是三一神,耶稣基督也是 神。以及我最近的見證,神的大能。

11. 看似香港少女與 Johnny 談話。我以为 Johnny 不懂廣東话,所以她離開。後來我和她倾談,知道她是從韓國來的。她不願意聽福音,所以我講了幾句重要的福音给她聽,我便離開。

12. 中國青年,Peter。當我講完福音及見證後,巴士到達。

願 神帶领今天所有聽到福音人仕,悔改,信靠耶稣基督為救世主。阿們!感謝讚美主!

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday May 11th, 2022 from 1300 – 1500

It was a rainy and cold day but it could not stop the Sunnybank team to keep our commitment to preach the gospel to people of all nations either in good time or in adverse condition like today. Gary could not join us, not because of the weather but his kids got sick that he could not leave home too long, so instead he did his own outreach nearest to his home. So only Johnny, Amy and Hung came to team up for God. There were less people flow , but because of the incessant rain, people were forced to assemble under the cover of the bus stop as such, all of us still got amble opportunities to get into conversation with some and in the meantime, as usual also rejected by many. But God is sovereign making no mistakes to destine some to be touched and softened to listen to the gospel and letting some remained stone heart with the seed sown for sprouting into life in His time. We just serve faithfully to grasp hold of all the divine appointment God open for us. Recap is the Battle Log of Hung:

1. John a near-ABC who came her at the age of 5-year-old appeared open and willing to engage in conversation though in English. It was the first time he heard about the gospel and showed willingness to pursue God and salvation.

2. Then I approached a fat guy who kept using excuses to avoid a chat with me though not an outright rejection. I anyway still managed to give him a tract and left a message that everyone needs Jesus unless you are perfect.

3. Approached Janet, a Christian lady and tested 100% assurance of salvation.

4. Ken from Taiwan, not really interested in the religious stuff, but I still managed to share with him the nutshell of Gospel.

5. Amy was one of the four students from a private high school. She is of African origin and appeared quite receptive to the Gospel message listening attentively and show appreciation afterwards. Johnny was doing the same thing with the other three girls which I overheard with some ridiculing voice. So I was glad God used me to single out Amy from her other more playful friends.

6. Then approached a Vietnamese Christian man but it was a pity I did not have time to test for his assurance of salvation.

7. I met Mr Chan 陳from Malaysia yet a Cantonese speaking person. 馬來華人廣東話. He once attended church but going no more. I could only manage to keep up with him a friendly relationship to wait for next opportunity as his bus came very soon.

8. Then God led me to meet with a Korean Christian but weirdly he avoided questions for diagnosis about his assurance of salvation. It was a very rare reaction from a born-again Christian that don’t want to share about his faith.

9. Then God led me to chat with Brook yet another professed Christian. She passed the test to show she has 100 % assurance of salvation. Though she works in a bakery, but she involves in many forms of church ministry. I am glad that her perfect understanding of salvation will be an asset of her church for bringing up younger kids to receive Christ finally through the correct teaching of the gospel.

10. Approached Jenny a Vietnamese lady. She was also a willing listener of the Gospel

11. Finally, Johnny referred Mrs Wong to me as she is from Hong Kong黃女士,she claimed she used to attend Hill Song but no more after pandemic,Surprisingly senior people seldom has mature Biblical teaching yet Mrs Wong showed she has 100% of assurance of salvation simply because of the redemptive work of Jesus through dying for our sins. Later, I found out that she is the wife of a senior man that I used to have greeting when we met at Sunnybank. It was good that I finally could confirm that the faith of that couples are pure and correct.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday May 10th, 2022 from 1330 – 1500

Today forecast was originally 95% with rain, but by grace we still had a good and dried period for our street ministry. Again Johnny, Winnie and Hung teamed up to serve. Winnie was not well on Sunday but thanks God that she had recovered good enough for today ministry without the threat of catching cold again if there was rain as forecasted.

The general responses were not good, all of us faced many rejections. But again, by grace of the Lord, the Holy Spirit did work to turn around the hearts of several initially stone hearts persons to end up listening to the full gospel and even engaging into meaningful Q & A about the Christian faith and Bible difficult passage. Meantime, God also used our outreach platform to minister to practical needs of an UQ students having suffered from the flood with lingering aftermath. God is good and Good is gracious to those who love Him. Recap below are the Battle Logs of Hung and Winnie:

1. Approached a Lady with the Gospel half Preached when her bus arrived.

2. Approached a Taiwanese couples, yet they showed great reluctance even to have a casual chat and the bus also arrived very quickly ending our conversation.

3. Approached an Aussie girl who listened but not really receptive and refused to take the tract and even not willing to tell me her name. Nevertheless the full gospel was shared.

4. Two English speaking boys also declined my approach for a chat, had to give up after a second trial.

5. Approached Jesse and another girl who left to answer a phone. So only Jesse was left for the gospel and she showed willingness to listen to the full gospel with good sign of receptiveness.

6. Then I approached Ellen a Malaysian Indian who initially refused the invitation to chat by Johnny. The Spirit moved me to have a go though she still showed initial reluctant to chat but the Spirit moved both me to stay and her to soften her stand and ending up letting me to have shared the full gospel to her. She is of Muslim background, but she at the end still found the gospel rational and logical to comprehend.

7. Approached an Indian mum and his adolescence son. The son took my tract and seemed willing to listen. But the mum rejected especially their bus came at this time.

8. Finally approached Harsh an Indian lady. Again, she showed initial reluctance to chat but finally I finished sharing her the full gospel.

Battle Log of Winnie:

10/5/22 ,Toowong 。

感謝 神!今天天陰,但没有下雨。很多人都不願意聽福音,站立到遠遠來等巴士。在我未分享在Toowong 傳福音之前,我想要分享在三日前的一見證 神的大能。

在週六早上起來,很精神,行動自如。于是禱告,唱詩歌讚美 神及閲讀聖經。跟着吃早餐,及練習週日教會須要唱的詩歌。週三南港福音堂邀请我週日去助唱,我知道母親節,黄金教會下午不须要練習,所以我也藉此機會來探望他們,因为很久没有到他們的教會。當我練習完詩歌,起來準備做運動的時候,站不起來。背后腰部非常痛,行路都要彎着身子。于是取藥膏來塗,及吃止痛药。坐下懇切的禱告,求 神憐憫醫治,及饒恕我隱而未現的過錯。週日可以讓我出席侍奉。整日我不停的塗藥膏,及按時吃止痛药。週日早上起來,還有少許痛。我照往時一樣,靈修後,吃早餐。當我塗藥膏及吃止痛药後,我便回教會。當我在教會侍奉,行路的時候,完全没有痛楚,可以企直,正常人一様。下午又回去南港侍奉。感謝 神!真的是今天不知道明天将如何!我們的衣食住行,完全在 神的手中。感謝讚美主!

感謝 神的带领,讓我今天遇上六位年青人分享福音及解释救恩的機會。

1. 香港少女,UQ 學生,胡嘉希。當她聽完我講的福音及三日前我的見證,她願意悔改,信靠主,找教會尋求更多真理。

2. 香港青年,UQ 學生,Sirus。當他聽完我講的福音及見證。他也是願意悔改,信靠主。他知道 St. Louise 有一間基督教會。相信是陳佳德牧師那間。他説會去教會尋求更多真理。

3. 澳洲少女,Jessy。她曾经聽過朋友傳佛教给她。我解释基督信仰及佛教的分别。别的教派,佛像是人手所造,教人向善,但是没有永生,而且是你去找它。基督信仰,是三一神。聖父,聖子及聖靈。神創造萬物天地,因为亞當和夏娃反罪,罪便一代一代傳留下至今。天父願意棄牲祂的獨生子,耶穌基督,死在十字架上來拯救我們。祂死後,埋葬,三天後復活,现在坐着父神的右邊。因为血不流,罪不得赦免。如果我們悔改,承認自己是罪人,不能自救,信靠祂的兒子,耶稣基督為救世主。我們的罪便可赦免。這是一份禮物,任何人都可以拿取的。還有死後有審判,不信的會滅亡,信者得救,得永生的盼望。她聽完後,説,會認真的想想基督信仰。

4. 澳洲少女,Elisabeth,基督徒。我解释救恩,及講述我的見證。

5. 澳洲青年,Liam。基督徒。我解释救恩及講我的見證。

6. 香港來的林姊妹,基督徒。我解释救恩。

感謝 神的帶领,讓我今天有健康的身體,可以順利傳福音。願今天聽到福音人仕,悔改,信靠耶稣基督為救世主。阿們!感謝讚美主!

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday May 4th, 2022 from 1300 – 1500

Today, Johnny re-joined the Sunnybank Street outreach together with Gary and Hung. Amy was sick and had to be excused. Sunnybank is still predominantly a Chinese major evangelism field yet still with opportunities to preach the gospel to people of other nations (People Group) So I am extremely impressed for the effort and commitment of Gary joining us at Sunnybank. He has to repeatedly replenish more Chinese Tracts from us. In return, I can always follow up on those gospel targets of Chinese and Asian descendants having been approached by Gary but in Chinese. We thank God for good team work and commitment despite of tough external environment for God’s glory sake.

1. God first led me chat with Shirley an old Aussie lady who also felt threatened and distracted by a Japanese woman who had a mental health weird behaviour display. I anyhow still managed to finish sharing the gospel message though her heart was half carried away. Still trust God might have His follow up work on her.

2. I then approached another Chinese woman who politely declined my approach claiming that she has got the tract before. 中婦己拿 I could not do much as the bus arrived at that time.

3. Then God let me to approach two Chinese girls with one Cantonese speaking from Guangdong 廣東and another from Mandarin speaking province. The Cantonese speaking girl was interested and willing to listen on but I still managed to switch to speaking in Mandarin so that both ladies could listen. The Cantonese speaking Girl appeared very receptive.

4. Then I was led to approach another Chinese lady who speaks good Mandarin by the name of Li李,I was surprised to find out that she was actually an ABC. She admitted that she has heard gospel before 聽過,but she still has some issues yet to be clarified有一些看法覺得有聽進去, God gave me enough time to lead her through the gospel and hopefully she was completely clear this time. So just has to pray for the work of the Spirit to move her to make the last step of faith to receive Christ.

5. I approached another Chinese lady but just had time to give her a tract when her bus came. 中女趕車

6. Then I saw a Nepal man reading a tract from Gary. I waited until he finished reading and tried to follow up on the nutshell of the Gospel. Though he still declared he is a Hindu follower, but he was impressed and attracted to pursue God which is a good sign and he certainly is on the path planned by God for him toward his eventual salvation.

7. Rosy is a very westernized Afghanistan lady having come to Australia for 17 years at the age of 11-year-old. Seemingly she is still not yet a believer, but she was very graceful for my sharing of the full gospel, and promised to ponder the pursuance of God.

8. Then I was led to approach another Chinese lady of Buddhism background. I still managed to throw her the idea of atonement of sin by a Saviour rather than relying on our good deeds to earn out admission to Heaven which is a futile idea.

9. Maria is yet another ABC but could only communicate in English. She declared herself a Christian but was tested without 100% assurance of salvation. She was glad to have this clarified and asked me many other questions how to conduct a Christian life including if she should maintain ore even develop her friend circle with non-believers. Her mum gave her the idea that Christian should avoid making friends with non-believer which of course I do not agree. She was encourage to tune up her life for Christ to involve more in gospel outreach and to settle down in a church as her spiritual home for sustaining growth in spirituality. recommend back to church. Finally she showed her appreciation for our conversation and divine encounter by taking a selfie with me,

10. The last person I approached is a member of ICC by the name of Peggy Liu. I did not have chance to enter into diagnostic questions to test for her understanding of the gospel but trying to build connection through some mutual friends who are member of the ICC Church.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday May 3rd, 2022 from 1330 – 1500

Today Johnny re-joined us after his combined mission trip to Tasmania & Holiday break in Sydney both with his wife Mary. He shared a bit more about his mission outreach at Launceston and Burnie for mixed same culture evangelism and cross culture outreach of which the latter is still a remote concept of most Chinese Churches. I was a good afternoon for outreach with some long and meaning conversations by some of our team mates conveying both the truth of the gospel and the cares for the emotional and spiritual need of the gospel target. Winnie had an over half an hour chat with a sad local Aussie lady whose husband is very sick and is being hospitalized for possibly his last journey of his earthly life. Winnie comfort the lady and encouraged her to seek peace and joy from the Lord Jesus Christ. As for me, I had a comparatively busy day having more short but significant conversations as recap below: -

1. An UQ girl from Jiangsu, 江蘇China was happy to affiliate with me because of my rare and precious traveling experience to her home town in 1974. She was opened to listen to the gospel sharing but it was cut short by the bus so just pray that the tract will serve the seed sowing purpose.

2. Then I caught up with Mark reeves about his well being during the flooding saga few weeks ago. He thanked God for protection and provision and is now back to normal with a relaxed mood to go hiking last week ends. He has been our back-to-back prayer supporter for our Toowong Ministry.

3. A Chinese face Filipino just pretended he did not hear my voice in order to avoid me. At the end, he was successful to avoid all of out despite I asked Winnie to have a go but she could not make it. So, It is all by the Grace and Will of God.

4. Next, I approached a student from Chin. He was brain washed to refuse learning anything apart from his Uni Course. I still managed to share him the nutshell of the Gospel. 中囯生.被洗腦只關注學業,仍有分享

5. Then I caught up with Rebecca a local Aussie girl. Shew is a non-believer but she was very opened and very receptive to the gospel message shared. I even had time to share my life testimony once helping out Sichuan earth quake disaster Relief that even such good works won’t earn me any merit for heaven, which was only by grace through faith in Jesus self-sacrificing acts dying n the cross for us all the sinners.

6. A Chinese girl passively received the tract and heard the nutshell of the gospel.

7. An Aussie boy just had time to take a tract with a concluding alert message that being a good person still is not good enough to earn us the admission to heaven.

8. An Aussie girl called Asiah who was a good listener and was very receptive to the Gospel message.

9. Then God led me to have a long conversation with a young man by the name of Chiang蔣 from China中國,he admitted he has heard the gospel before but still not impressed enough to pursue. 曾經聴,今天更全面了解But after my comprehensive Gospel sharing encompassing the three fold salvation , he felt the vague concept had all been explained and clarified so he admitted he is in a better position to make his last step of faith accepting Jesus at his personal quiet time.

10. Seemed to be a Chinese girl not good at English still I managed to share her the nutshells of the Gospel.

11. Finally, A 君阿俊 Ah Jin from Quangxi廣西, also listened to the full gospel message and rational mindedly, he found the gospel sensible and logical but still not fully moved yet to accept Jesus.

Battle log of Winnie:

3/5/22。Toowong

感謝 神的帶領,今天讓我遇上一位澳洲女士,其他的都是亞洲青年男女。

1. 中國青年,Roy & Steve。他們初時不想聽,不信任何宗教。我説,無論你們有否宗教信仰,死後都有審判。Steve 想聽聽。我便詳细講述福音给他們。他們聽後,Steve 願意信靠主,找教會。Roy 须要時間想清楚。

2. 中國少女,Amy。没有興趣聽福音。我説,每人都有一死,死後會有審判。我問她 為何亞洲地方很多靈異出没?她想知道,于是我詳细講述福音给她,及説,耶稣基督在天家預備很多地方给基督徒。如果你信了主,當我們死後,便可以在那裏得安息,永遠與主一起。她聽後,她説會想清楚基督的信仰。

3. 馬來西亞青年 Tai。天主教背景的基督徒,解释救恩。

4. 中國青年 Peter,當我講完福音给他,他説會想清楚基督的信仰。

5. 中國青年,不願留下名字,不願意聽。我给他單張,還説了幾句話便離開。我説無論你有否宗教信仰,每個人死後,都有審判。信靠主耶稣,得永生。

6. 中國少女,在等巴士的時候,忙于温習功課。我也不想打擾她,所以我给她單張及講了幾句重要的福音便離開。我説, 神爱世人,甚至將祂的獨生子賜给我們。叫一切信祂的,不至滅亡,反得永生。约3:16。

7. 澳洲女士,Sandra。我見她查看巴士時間,回來坐位時,行動不穩定。我問她是否非常疲倦。她説是的。因为忙于探望她的丈夫(Rob),及預備他的飲食。他现在非常疲弱。我問她信了主嗎?她説小時有到主日學,因为看到親戚朋友一個,一個的去世,她便離開主。我解释给她,他們離開世上,一早已有 神的安排,可能這樣會比较適合他們。我們不知道 神的計劃,我問她願意我為Rob 及妳禱告嗎?她説非常好。我為他們禱告後,我説首先要 Rob 信主,無論他前面的路怎様,我現在有牧師在這裏,可以安排他到醫院為他洗禮。她説Rob现在不想見其他人。我説你盡量勸他。我説願意悔改信主受洗,便可以上天家。你願意信主嗎?我問她,她説願意。我説夫妻信主後,將來便可以在天家見面。巴士來到,我説,每週二下午1:30,我都會來這裏傳福音,你們決定怎樣,到時通知我。願 神祝福妳!

8. 香港少女 Vicky & Clare。我與她們閒談一會便引入福音,她們很尊心聽我講的福音,可惜講完,巴士到達。她們趕着上巴士,不能問及她們是否願意信靠主。

9. 馬來西亞少女,Else。當她聽完福音後,她説會想清楚基督的信仰。

感謝 神的带领,願今天聽到福音人仕,悔改,信靠主耶穌基督。阿們!感謝讚美主!

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday April 26th, 2022 from 1330 – 1500

Johnny is still out of town after his Tasmania Mission trip. Only Winnie and Hung turned up as a team. We pray particularly for protection from undue interruption by unfriendly and prejudiced persons. And thanks God we had a very smooth and fruitful afternoon. God led me to catch up with willing hearts to listen to the gospel as such most conversations I had as a divine appointment lasted quite long for a full Gospel sharing as recap below: -

NB Please pray for my day surgery Bladder Biopsy operation tomorrow at Sunnybank Private Hospital. So I will skip Sunnybank street ministry for one day on April 27, 2022.

1. I caught up with two Asian looking girls of whom one just left shortly after the chat began for phone call. The other Korean girl, remained interested to engage in interactive conversations, allowing me to present to her the full gospel showing genuine interest and appeared quite moved to pursue. I introduced her to Power to Change.

2. Heidi is a Muslim Malaysian UQ student. She was very open to sharing of Jesus and appeared receptive to the gospel.

3. Iftakhar is from a Islamic family in Bangladesh. Like Heidi, I stressed that all religions are good but only good at teaching people to be a good person yet providing no solution on the punishment of sins. He showed positive consent to the logic and effectiveness of redemptive grace by the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Again, I encourage them to pursue God by joining Power to Change in the UQ campus. He was very appreciative for my message and was more than happy to take a selfie with me to commemorate this divine encounter.

4. Peter is a local Aussie elderly man who has heard the gospel before but has not yet made the last step of faith to receive Christ. But today, despite of his vulnerable health situation, he appeared taking the gospel message all in and showed positive sign to make his last step of faith. He therefore was more than happy to take a selfie with me to commemorate this divine encounter.

5. After consecutive success in preaching the Gospel, God still led me to approach a die-hard guy who politely turn me down for a chat. I however still managed to share the nutshell of Gospel to him quickly and leave him with God.

6. Finally, I caught up with an Indonesia UQ student of Muslim background. However, he was also open to gospel conversation and show interests to look for joining “Power to Change” to pursue God.

Battle log of Winnie:

26/4/22。Toowong

今天是陰天,但没有雨,正是傳福音的好時間。

感謝 神的带领,今天讓我遇上很多需要福音人仕。

1. 新加坡少女 Ruby,當我給她單張,她説是基督徒,不願接受單張。我測試她的救恩,她不能回答。我問她為何每年都有復活節,她不想答。她叫我傳福音给其他人。所以,她是否真正的基督徒呢?我講了幾句重要的福音便離開。

2. 兩位中國來的青年,Roy & Ken。他們是第一次聽福音。當他們聽完福音後,願意認真的想清楚基督的信仰。

3. 印尼女士 Liane 和一男孩。她是穆斯林,我講及基督教的信仰是三一神,聖父,聖子,聖靈,及福音。我给她單張看看,甚麽是罪。當她聽完我講的福音,她説會想想基督的信仰。

4. 中國少女 Jessica,曾經跟朋友到過教會,我詳细講述福音给她。她説會想清楚基督的信仰。

5. 青年男士 Billy,無神論者,不願意聽福音。所以我講了幾句重要的福音便離開。

6. 兩位中國少女,Cathy & May。當她們聽完福音後,Cathy 願意找教會,尋求更多真理。但是May 説,站時不想任何宗教。

7. 日本少女 Trish,當她聽完福音後,她願意悔改信靠主耶穌基督,找教會尋求更多真理。而且很高興聽到我講基督的訊息。感謝主!

8. 中國少女,Jolin。她媽媽是基督徒,她曾經跟媽媽到教會。她以為媽媽是基督徒,她也是一樣。我詳細解释给她,基督信仰,得救是個别的。她聽後,願意悔改信靠耶稣。

9. 中國青年 Eric,當我講完福音给他,巴士到達。

10. 馬來西亞青年,Jack,穆斯林。我講及基督信仰,是三一神。耶稣基督也是 神。當他聽完我講的福音,他説會想想基督的信仰。

11. 澳洲少女,Lucy。她聽過耶稣名字。但不清楚基督信仰。我詳细講述福音给她。她聽完後,願意悔改信靠耶稣。還很多謝我講解好消息给她。

感謝 神的带领。願今天所有聽到福音人仕,都願意悔改 信靠主耶穌基督,成為他們的救世主。奉主名求。阿們!感謝讚美主!

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday April 20th, 2022 from 1300 – 1500

Praise and thank God we had Gary and Amy re-joining the Sunnybank team after the school holiday to form a three persons team. As usual, Gary set up Gospel sign to draw attention of pedestrians. Amy was good at chatting with young people while Hung mostly with the elderly today although it might not be a pattern. But today's experience led me to ponder the elderly people in the church are less equipped with very insufficient discipleship sort of teaching. They are full of weird thought and wrong teaching of the bible doctrine. The worse is, many of them are not yet saved without a clear understanding of the salvation by grace through faith in Christ and still considered good deeds are all we must care for rather than our mere faith in Christ. One good thing that can cheer us up was that, a group of Indian or middle East face people that Gary had approached at the far end of the bus station. After they finished their chat and walked past me when I was sharing gospel with Debbie, they gave us thumb up and laud praise by saying Hallelujah to the Lord as an affirmation and encouragement of our work for and with God. Recap is the battle log of Hung for today.

1. Mr Yu 余 from Hong Kong 港人 claiming himself and family are all Christians. But what shocked me was that he was proud to declare he does not believe that there is a God and deny the Creation account of the bible claiming it is a result of human ignorant of science and lazily attribute every thing to an unknown God. It really made me lost of word when he still claimed he is a Christian. I actually spent the longest time to try to answer all his self-contradicting theory. For example, he agreed that nothing will come from nothing. Everything must have a cause of its existence by creation. But then he rejects the world is created by God but a simply a kind natural existence happening by itself. He knows that Newton was a scientist but he does not know Newton was also a Theologian. And he rejected to accept the conclusion made by all top scientists including Einstein that when the material world failed to find the first cause of the universe, then it logically proved that the first cause is God who exists by Himself in trinity before time and beyond space. Anyway, I trust God let us chat to help me realize, a large group of nominal Christians are existing in the churches and proper teaching must be addressed to these ignorant group of people.

2. God gave me a break to chat with an easy going Kevin who is Vietnamese possibly of Buddhism background but appeared very open for discussion and showed acceptance of the logicality and rationality of Gospel. He was happy to take a tract to ponder on the issues and Gospel I shared.

3. Then I approached Debbie who said she had chatted with one of us before. I simply asked for permission to refresh her memory of what was shared and what she read from the tract and it proved that Debbie could get a fuller understand of the gospel and was just a last step of faith away from salvation by Christ.

4. The 2nd elderly Christian I chatted with was Mrs Yan 嚴姊妹from the EMP Church. She has no assurance of salvation and kept stressing that she will keep doing good things to earn assurance of salvation. I virtually shared the gospel all over from scratch to her but her mindset still got stuck at the non-biblical Chinese moral teaching of being a good person is the only thing a human can do to earn a ticket to heaven.

5. Tim and girlfriend appeared to be a very good listener of the gospel despite they said they had been approached by Amy. Later on I learned from Amy that they are from Mongolia Republic 外蒙, but not one province of China 內蒙. Actually, they are all Christians but it was a pity I got no time to test for their assurance of salvation.

6. Sharon a local Aussie lady that Amy mistaken as some one who had rejected her before. It actually was somebody else but Sharon was very open and receptive to the gospel message. She took a tract afterward indicating she will consider to accept Jesus.

7. The towards the end, I chatted with one of the Chinese students from 青島,天津,上海,I could identify with him my vast traveling experience in China to earn identification before sharing the gospel. Later I learn from Amy that some of them are already Christians as well.

Battle Log of Gary :

Spoke to another 'Christian' today who thought by being good is the way to heaven.

Alternatively and correctly - we only get to heaven by being forgiven.

The gospel is one of being given the gift of salvation - not working towards it or earning it.

It is only with the knowledge of being saved that out of it we have thankful heart's and will want to obey Him.

BTW. Please pray for this person - that they would truly be saved by Grace alone.

Romans 3:10 'As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one"

**We are deceiving ourselves if we believe that our salvation can be earned by adding to the blood of Christ**

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday April 19th, 2022 from 1330 – 1500

Praise and thank God Winnie and Hung started without Johnny who is now on mission trip to Launceston in Tasmania at Toowong and was joined by Kiateck Tan later to form a team of three to do street outreach. Despite it is already mid- Autumn, the afternoon sun was still scorching hot that people at the bus stop tended to hid behind the shade of the Bus Stop. There was less people flow as it was a holiday break for UQ, but we still managed to get as many conversation as God matched us up as His divine encounter. Thank God that I only encountered a couple of rejections with all the rest leading to a fruitful conversation as recap below: -

1. After a couple of rejections, God led me to approach a 2nd year UQ student from Indonesia, I was managed to share the nutshell of the Gospel to him before the bus came and gave him a tract to read to supplement what I shared.

2. Then I approached a Pacific Islander ABC of Chinese descendent. He was polite and expressed no need to hear. But I still managed to use a friendly manner to pass on the gospel message until the bus came.

3. Steven a tall Aussie young man. He is a non-believer and not sure if he can go to heaven. I could manage to affirm him that no one can go to Heaven unless you are perfect.

4. Bradley another local Aussie young UQ students, I was able to share the full gospel plus my testimony. He seemingly was impressed to really ponder to receive Christ. I referred him to Power to Change if he wanted to pursue God.

5. Ben was another UQ students from England at the age of 6 year. He admitted this was the first time he heard about the gospel and he was very receptive and ready to receive Christ.

6. Then I chatted with a Poland lady Catalina. We found the come topic of who are bad and as listed on the tract plus Putin who are widely regarded as a War Criminal and those helping out Ukraine including Poland as the number one supportive country to help out Ukraine in their self-defensive military action. It led into the topic if being a good person like the Ukrainian and Poland people can go to heaven. She found the conclusion very interesting but no more time to continue with the conversation except taking a tract to read at home.

7. Finally, I shared with a young couple from Malaysia who are bilingual. Eventually I chose to share them the full gospel in English and managed to finish it before the bus came.

Praise God!  Over Easter weekend, there were 2 outreaches in central Christchurch where over a 1000 gospel tracts, with chocolate Easter eggs were given away.  But even more encouraging, were the amount of Christians representing many local churches that got involved!

Saturday had lovely weather, and I was shocked at the amount of people in Cashel Mall.  It felt pre covid.  We had bought 500 eggs to give away over both outreaches, but in just over an hour, we had pretty much given away all 500!  It was so awesome watching and listening to people’s stoked reactions at getting the gift.

I spent all my time of the 2 hour outreach, walking up and down the mall, making sure Christians had enough stock of both tracts and eggs, and trying to be an encouragement.  I didn’t have a single gospel chat myself!  But that’s okay, I have plenty of opportunities at other times. :)

After the outreach, we had to scramble to find a new supply of eggs to buy.  The first shop we went to had sold out! :O  But, the supermarket next door had some.  So, we were all sorted for Monday

Monday wasn’t quite as busy as Saturday - the weather wasn’t quite as good.  But, there were still plenty of people out and about, and a whole new team of Christians gathered to give away the gift of Jesus.

This time I did have the opportunity to get directly involved.  I had a great follow up chat with one of my regulars, and at the end of the outreach I was able to power out a tray of chocolate and tracts.

Our prayer is that many will read the tracts.  We leave the results in God’s hands - knowing the simple gospel message is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16).

Thanks to all those that got involved.  I was very encouraged.  Looking forward to doing something similar next Easter, God willing!

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday April 13th, 2022 from 1300 – 1500

Because of School Holiday, both Gary and Amy Yao could not come because they both have children and family to look after. So, only Johnny and Hung teamed up as usual. The people flow is comparatively great here at the Sunnybank Bus station, it is both an advantage and disadvantage of open-air street outreach. As a result , we had numerous conversation but most of them were short being interrupted by the frequent arrival of bus. Yet, we still believe, God can make use of our steadfast outreach action faith to trigger continuous deliverance plan and process for all who have been elected by God for receiving His predestine blessings. Recap below are my Battle Log : -

1. A Vietnamese Chinese Diaspora man越南華僑 took initiative to greet me that led me to think that we had met before. Actually, it was not the case. I waited no time to share the gospel to him but still I failed to beat the quick arriving bus so I could only trust God and rely on the tract that I handed out to that man.

2. Filipino lady was a reluctant listener, but I still just manage to share with her the nutshell of the gospel.

3. Then I have an interesting conversation with a young fashionable man from mainland China by his post-modern hair dressing style. He is not yet a believers but was very open for discussion on religion. He actually appeared well versed in Bible story as such he had good interaction with me on the gospel and doctrine of salvation. Again out conversation cut short by the quick arriving bus. 中囯少年, 博學多聞,開放認同

4. A NZ young woman with Chinese look but is English speaking. She was very open to gospel but I could only manage to share the core message because of quick arriving bus.

5. Joseph a mature man from PNG. Actually, he is a fair dinkum Christian with 100% assurance of salvation. I found out later Johnny had several conversation with him before. He took a selfie with me in appreciation of what we are doing for the Lord.

6. I was able to catch up with another Chinese mature man but our conversation was cut short by the quick arriving bus.中國大叔可以聊

7. Then I chatted with two Singaporean QUT students both named Brian and Brian. They are non-believers but were both open for conversation on gospel. They both were convinced Christianity is the right way for all imperfect persons to be redeemed to reconcile with God.

8. Joe a fall-back Christian from Hong Kong who shared all the reasons while he does not attend church after coming to Australia first because of Uni study, then job commitment and finally marriage and care for family. He was with the Tsim Sha Tsui Chiu Zhou Life Church which should be a good denominational church with sound biblical teaching尖潮人生命堂生活學習疏離教會,yet his understanding of salvation is incomplete and has no assurance of salvation. But he was moved to reactivate his church life but a pity that I cannot leave him with my contact no.

9. Frank, an English speaking Malaysian man though a bit introvert but appeared quite open and receptive to the gospel.

10. I was rejected by a lady from Mainland China mistaken me as a sale person.中國不要推銷?

11. I caught up with a couple of brother and sister from Tianjin.天津.姊弟,願聊 the sister was more open for conversation. And the nutshell of gospel only was shared.

12. I caught up with another English speaking Malaysian lady from Ipoh馬華,we could only have a short causal chat but not yet have chance to share gospel with the quick arriving bu.

13. Roy a builder worker rejected me to share the gospel with him, but Spirit moved me to identify with him with the same political ideology as such I still can sneak in the gospel issue to prove that there is no perfect government and also no perfect citizens that eventually we all need redemption by Jesus.

14. Then I caught with Mr Chu from Nanjing. 朱南京聊天拿單張 We click because of my experience of visiting Nanjing in 1974 before China was open for free tourism. Again time was not enough so he just grab a tract and hope for a future reunion.

15. Julian is a fair dinkum Christian who listen to my sharing of the full Gospel and can answer my two diagnostic questions correctly.
