Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday June 2nd, 2021 from 1300 to 1500.

By the grace of God, Johnny, Gary and Hung turned up for this regular Street Evangelism ministry at Sunnybank. Gary moved around between the two sides of Sunnybank while Johnny and Hung stayed mainly on the West side of the Sunnybank Plaza front. Again, it was a fruitful day with almost non-stop gospel conversations to people of all nations. God used us to reach out to people of both same culture Chinese from Taiwan, Mainland China and Hong Kong and cross-cultural people group from Indonesia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Philippine, Ireland, UEA etc. I was most impressed to see Gary stopped a group of 5 Chinese ladies possibly from mainland China to listen to his gospel sharing. I bet they would not stop for me a Chinese looking man but would react to feeling obliged to stop to listen to a Western person with an earnest expression. God is really the one who is in control of all the divine appointments assignment entrusted to us as His servant and messenger to convey good news to people of all nations.

Recap below were the 8 conversations given to me by God: -

1) Johnny first chatted with Madam Changå¼µ from Fuzhou 福州China. She is attending Logos Christian Church 恩道but with incomplete understanding of faith. Since she claimed she chatted with me before so Johnny just let me take over the chat. It was lucky that her bus took long time to come so I can kept sharing till the bus came. Pray that she will humble herself to really join the church’s Bible study to get all her query about the Christian faith clear.

2) Then I approached an English-speaking Indonesia lady and shared the gospel just before the bus arrived.

3) Eason a Vietnamese middle age man who claimed to be a Christian after I shared him the gospel for a while. But his response to my question at the beginning did not show he has assurance of salvation but it was a pity I had no time to correct him because the bus just arrived then.

4) I approached another Muslim Girl who was very responsive to my questions but again it was a pity the bus came two quick.

5) A Filipino Christian but has no knowledge of salvation, she claimed to be very busy and I volunteered to walk across the bridge with her but she seemed to be very scare of exposing her ignorance about Christianity despite claiming herself a long time Christian.

6) Vienna an Australian Born Filipino (ABF) still doing High school whom I met few weeks ago on April 28. Actually Vienna remembered exactly it was four weeks ago that we met. She said she had read the tract at home but still not ready to ponder for a commitment to accept Jesus. I went over the gospel again helping her to realize she is not perfect and does need Jesus to take her place to receive the punishment of her sins. She appeared really receptive and promised to have a good thought about it.

7) Margo an Irish did not mind to be disturbed by me while he was playing with his iPone. Overall speaking he was receptive to the message and willing to ponder to accept Christ.

(8 ) Elaine a joyous Christian from China but has no assurance of salvation thinking she only has 60% chance to Heaven. It was a pity I had no chance to help clarifying for her as the bus came. Pray for a reunion in the near future.

Toowong (QLD) Team

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday June 1st, 2021 from 1330 to 1500

Praise and thanks God calling and raising up a new street Gospel team member Hai Yue to join us the three regular team mates, Johnny, Winnie and Hung. Hai Yue is a current 5th Online Kairos student. But God has touched and moved her enough to give it a go joining us today during her rest day of her scheduled job rooster duty as an Intern doctor at the Royal Brisbane Hospital.

I gave her very limited 15 minutes briefing / demonstration how to share the nutshell of the gospel before we prayed and set off with the other two team mates. In flesh, she still felt lacking of confidence even though her English is good enough to conduct casual chat. All I can advice her is to let go of all your fear and burden but trusted in God alone to guide you to make the first approach. Ask God to guide you to open your mouth for the first word then the Spirit will be with you all the way to guide you to organize your speech.

Miracle did have happened and she could quickly found the strength and spiritual courage from God to make her first approach after watching as an observer just for one person.

So I basically gave all the chance to both Hai Yue and Winnie with Johnny and Hung taking care of the rest when more people had come to the bus stop. In between of chat/ arrival & departure of bus, Johnny and I held very short debriefing with Hai Yue answering her queries how to address a certain issue if it happens again. As a result, Johnny and I got less time for our own outreach. It of course was a worthwhile exercise to help Hai Yue to get integrated into the street evangelism which aftercall is the work of God taking charge of all situations.

Hai Yue was able to catch the urge of the Spirit to make approach at the right time. One example was with my first conversation with a Chinese couple from Tasmania migrating to Qld for a better living climate. The wife was more receptive and a willing gospel listener but the husband seemed to be not paying attention or even unconsciously interrupting our conversation. At the very moment, Hai Yue suddenly turned up to join our conversation. My reaction in flesh was: go away, find someone else, I äm managing to share with this couples. But the Spirit immediately corrected me to see that the husband was attracted to chat with Hai Yue without further interrupting my conversation with Lily the wife who appeared very attentive and interested in what I shared. So this is that sort of things that keep enabling us to see how God makes all thing work together for he goodness sake of those who loved God and being called to serve Him.

I pray that this divine encounter experience for Hai Yue’s debut Street Evangelism ministry will help her to apply it on to the other parts of her life including the profession as an Intern doctor. She can try to let go of all her fear and worry but enjoy the promise of God to be presence with us whenever we do everything for glorifying Him.

Because of irregular rooster duty job scheduling. Hai Yue may not be able to join us every week on Tuesday at Toowong or Wednesday at Sunnybank. But I am quite confidence that this first divine experience will attract her to come again whenever she gets a rest day on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Recap below are the Battle Log of both Hung and Winnie: -

(1) A Chinese Couples from Shangdong, Yin Tai山東煙台are new interstate migrant from Tasmania. I approached both of them for a chat. The wife Lily was more receptive and willing to engage in two-way communication. The husband was however not paying real attention but kept doing something else such as making phone call trying to interrupt the conversation. Yet God suddenly took action to move Hai Yue to join our conversation. As mentioned, my initial reaction in flesh was trying to tell Hai Yue to leave us alone, but the strong sense of the Holy Spirit told me otherwise to let Hai Yue keep talking to the husband so I could concentrate sharing the full gospel to the wife Lily. Thing did develop along this line and Lily appeared very touched and willing to seek God by going to church. They live actually In St Lucia so CCCB is the natural choice I recommended to her and hopefully her husband will follow suit. Praise for the almighty work of God allowing us to team up with Him to do His Will.

(2) Vistella is a girl whose name is of Canadian origin and means "Life of star". She was very welcoming for my approach and gladly accepted the tract. When I knew I only have 1 minute to share, I quickly utter to her the very brief nutshell of the gospel emphasizing that we are all imperfect though good person that have sinned against God and each other’s. We all need a saviour who himself is prefect person as such He can take our place to receive the punishment of sin due on us. Pray that this short but divine encounter still will be pursuit by god for bearing spiritual fruit in His time.

(3) Then I bugged in to chat with a Couple from Quanzhou廣州. The wife was listening to Hai Yue but the husband was keeping a distance not paying attention. So I was playing a reverse supportive role to catch the attention of the indifferent husband or boyfriend to get a taste of the word of God’s good news.

(4) An UQ student from Sudan , Africa with an indigenous name of Allor politely told me he had got a tract entitled “What is Next” from one of us which should be Johnny as I so far seldom hand out this new tract. I asked him anyway how did he find the tract and if he understood the message. He said he is a religious person believing in God but has not time to fulfil the religious ceremonial obligation, meaning he is not a church goer and seldom read Bible. With is information, it warranted me to share the gospel all over to him again. He was very polite and willing to chat but our further conversation was interrupted by a phone call then the bus came. We bid farewell and both looking forwards for another encounter in the near future to continue with our unfinished story about God and His salvation.

Online Evangelism

The weekend in Christchurch was very wet.  They are saying two to three months worth of rain fell in the Canterbury area in just a few days.  Due to this I didn’t venture out - instead I fell back to online outreach.

An interesting note, as a team, we have now passed 5000 chats with people online (over a 2 month, 15 day period).  That is incredible; glory to God.

On Saturday morning I had the following chats:

• A great chat with some Muslim guys from Lebanon.  They started out being silly, but by the end of the conversation, it was dead serious as they fought against the logic of the gospel.
• A chat with a kid who laughed at me saying he wasn’t listening, but it was obvious he was listening - he gave great answers to the checking questions, showing he was soaking up gospel truth.
• A Muslim in Albania who believes in Reincarnation.
• A great chat with a couple of guys from the UK.
• A couple of girls from the UK who were laughing at the gospel, sadly.  They won’t be laughing on judgement day.
• A Muslim dude from Egypt, reasonable (understanding) but resistant (not trusting).
• A Muslim dude in India.
• A Buddhist dude in India.
• A rude person from India.
• Some kids in the USA: “This is not school, it’s summer break” - disconnect.
• And finally a fantastic chat with a girl from the UK, who was a bit distracted, but had an “Ah ha” moment as she came to understand the gospel.

In the afternoon, the team had a training outreach where we paired up for mutual feedback and encouragement.  It’s so good being able to listen to the nuance of another person sharing the gospel and learning from it.

I was paired up with Abraham in Melbourne - a recent training grad (I think).  It was so good watching him confidently and clearly communicating - well done Abraham!

One of my conversations went long, it was a rare reconnect.  One of the team had talked to this guy for 5 minutes 2 months prior.  He was combative initially, and it turned into an apologetics battle.  But as his questions were addressed, he calmed down and opened up to hearing the law and the gospel.  It was a great chat, glory to God.

Sunday afternoon and I was feeling more tired than usual.

By God’s grace, I was given the opportunity to share the gospel with a very open hearted young lady (pictured) who said there was nothing stopping her from believing that Jesus died on the cross for her today!  I pointed her to a local church and the Bible.  May the gospel seed take root and flourish, I leave her in God’s hands.

I then had a couple of very intense conversations.  One of those was about forty minutes long.  It was with a young couple who were Agnostic / Atheist - from the UK.  An extreme apologetics battle.  By the end of it they were curious; why am I on Omegle, of all places, talking about this stuff?  The door was now open for me to clearly articulate the gospel to them, and to plead with them to respond, because life is very short.

The final conversation of the weekend was with a guy with a Hindu background (pictured), from India (although the IP location placed him in Canada).  It was another long one - about twenty minutes.  He came to grasp the gospel, but he didn’t like the idea that he had to give up his Hinduism.  I became quite forthright with him, I told him he’d be going to hell - and given the context, I thought that was fair.  Well, he didn’t like that at all.  I made it clear that I said it because I loved him.  I don’t want him to go to hell, and I pleaded with him to trust in Christ alone for salvation.  The conversation was coming to a natural end, but amazingly he didn’t want it to end, we continued chatting for another five minutes or so.  I told him I hope we can play cricket together one day in heaven!

Christchurch (NZ) Team

Having had a break, my legs were really sore today after doing five hours of street outreach.  Hopefully I’ll get used to it again quickly! :)

The day started with the gospel + abortion outreach outside the hospital.  I was first there, and didn’t have any signs.  So I pulled out some “Life is Precious” tracts and started to give them away to passers by.  Before long I had three ladies stop and engage.  Two of them seemed to have Christian backgrounds, but the third was younger and wasn’t sure if there was a God or not.  Going from there, I was able to share the law and the gospel with her.  The other two listened intently too.  The young lady seemed impressed, “that makes sense - thank you”.  I left them all with “Life is Precious” tracts, and I fished out copies of “Who Made It?” for them all too.  By the end of the conversation, Andy had arrived, and one of the ladies recognised him!  He had already spoken to her at the Eastgate bus stops.

There ended up being a team of five for the gospel + abortion outreach.  It was a calm outreach, with mostly a lot of support and encouragement for what we are doing.

Part way through, a young man walked past, I offered him a “Life is Precious” tract, but he smiled, tapped his pockets and said they were full!  I laughed to myself as he headed away.

Well, in God’s providence, later in the day, as I was just arriving at the spot where I was going to set up in Cashel Mall, I looked up and saw the very same young man walking towards me.  As he went past I said, “Your pockets may be full, but can I ask you a question?  What do you think happens after life?”  To my amazement, he stopped and said he thinks about it.  He was full of questions.  Starting from there I was able to explain how we know God exists, how we know we have sinned against God, and the hope of forgiveness only found in the sacrifice of Jesus.  He seemed a bit overwhelmed, I could tell he needed time to process what he was learning.  He took a “Who Made It?” tract (his pockets weren't too full now!), and I pointed him to needGod.net on TikTok, where many questions are answered in 1 minute videos, that he can process in his own time.  What a wonderful follow up opportunity!  All glory to God.  I leave him in His hands - who is the only one who can save him, through the gospel message he heard.

Once I had my flip chart up, I flipped it to the “What happens after life?” page.  Most people are put off by this page - it’s the last thing they want to think about.  But I had a lady come over, take a tract, and hesitate - she wanted to talk about it.  I asked her what she thought and we went from there.  She said she was a Christian, but didn’t go to church.  I was able to clarify with her exactly what gets us to heaven, and then I encouraged her to find a good local church to be a part of.  It was a short gospel opportunity, but a very important one as well.

There ended up being a team of five in Cashel Mall as well, including another newbie, Daniel, someone Roger or John had encouraged to come along.  I ended up pairing up with him.  We ended up having a “Christian” guy come and sit next to us for most of the outreach (pictured).  He denied justification by faith alone.  And I ended up being pretty direct with him in conversation.  I gave up, and John ended up continuing the conversation.

To end the day, I spent a couple of hours online.

Glory to God for the day of gospel outreach we were able to engage in!

Online Evangelism

Thursday is my longest day of outreach in the week.  Today I spent the whole day (8 hours) in online evangelism.  Of that time, over 5 hours was active gospel conversation time, for a total of 23 chats throughout the day - some as short as 2 minutes, some over 30 minutes.  I spoke with people in Pakistan, India, Jamaica, the UK, Sweden, Canada, Tunisia, and the USA.  (Yesterday, someone reached someone from Sudan for the very first time!)  Some of the people I talked to said they were: Hindu, Muslim and Catholic.  Some were open and curious, some were bored but hung around anyway, some were deeply resistant and fought against the logic of the gospel.

Most of them heard the gospel, which is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16).  It is the message by which people are saved (Acts 11:14).

Sharing the gospel message should be our priority.  And we have discovered a deep vein of gospel opportunity, so easy to access - it is a wonderful gift.  The tools in place to protect us from the dark side of this vein are just getting better and better.

And you can watch it happening live or delayed via the Operation 513 Facebook page.

If you would like to give online evangelism a try, free one on one training is being offered.  Get in touch to schedule a time.  Come and join the team!

Otherwise, please continue to pray for the small team working this gold mine - we are literally reaching thousands of people with the gospel of Jesus.  All glory to God alone.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday May 26, 2021 from 1300 t o1500

By grace Johnny and Hung teamed up as usual at Sunnybank with Gary another regular Gospel warrior absent to day as clash with new born son’s post-natal doctor health check appointment. Today we were led by the Spirit to went back on to the East side of the Pedestrian bridge where Sunny park is. It proved to be a divine manipulation that I could lead a BST student to reunite with her Gospel mentor who waited for her on the West side where Sunny Plaza is. Moreover, both Johnny and I got very long chat with specific gospel target that they seemed to have been arranged to meet us there without any interruption by the bus arrival. The lady chatted with Johnny before actually came for Johnny stopping voluntarily to post a lot of questions to Johnny. Although we did not know for sure her motive, that whether she was seeking for clarification on queries that blocked her from making the final step of faith, or simply to show off her cleverness to give her the excuse not to make any quick commitment any sooner.

I as usual traveled between the two sides to pick up those divine appointments God had in store for me as recap below. So, it was all the work of God to lead us to speak to people of all nations including Mainlander Chinese, Hongkonger, Indian, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Maui of NZ, Pakistanis Muslim girl, local Aussie and even a ABJ Australian born Japanese as recap below: -

1) Indian Mum with her son. Took the tract, heard the nutshell of Gospel just barely in time when the bus arrived.

2) An ABC who took an English tract upon getting off the bus to meet her Chinese Mandarin speaking friend who also accepted a Chines tract. Since they had to go to meet another person elsewhere, so I could only emphasize the need for us the sinners to seek salvation from Jesus even we are regarded as a good person.

3) Then came the longest chat over 40 minutes in my late street evangelism. With Nee(倪) a Cambodia woman 柬國人 whose home town is Swatow, China.潮州，But she can speak fluent Cantonese 廣東話 by just living in HKG for one year as a tourist. (香港一年). She was spared from genocide by the Pol Pot Khmer Rouge regime by fleeing to Thailand(走難泰國), than she was rescued by other family members to have migrated to Australia becoming an Aussie citizen. 來澳 She claimed herself a pious Buddhist leading a simple life. She actually was having a rice roll lunch at the bus stop after getting off the bus but before going for a doctor appointment. That was the reason, I can have over 40 minutes or even longer time to share the gospel and my life testimony without the need to rush against the bus arriving schedule. Her calm and peaceful temperament does show she is a professed Buddhist. I rightly shared with her that all religions are only good at guiding people to become a better self, but never providing a solution to address the issue of sin. As a sinners, even our good deeds cannot be applied to offset the punishable sin. As sinner though a good person, we will face judgment after death and be subject to eternal death punishment suffering eternally in the hell of fire. The only way out is to let a perfect person to take our place to receive the punishment due on us. Jesus is the only perfect person who is sinless to do this for us. So, the ultimate life goal for us the sinners is to regain our heavenly citizenship through the sacrificial death and atoning grace of Jesus. Once our life turned back to live God centre, pour whole value system will be transcend to eternal value rather than all the temporal values. Most importantly, we will have real inner peace and content of life irrespective of all the external threats. I shared with her my medical health new threat but it could not disrupt the inner peace that Jesus has instilled into my life. Madam Nee seemed to have been moved and impressed with the life transforming power of God. We bid farewell praying for God’s further work leading her to the final step of faith to receive Christ.

4) Kelvin a Vietnamese also a Buddhist who believed in good deeds though having read the tract. There was not enough time to have further discussion and edification to challenge his point of view despite reading the tract.

5) Outright rejection guy also by another Vietnamese but it was certainly still God’s plan to use me to give him another alert,

6) Scared away a young Muslim girl from Pakistan. It anyway was also part of God’s plan executed through me to day.

7) Then a Hongkonger took a tract without stopping. She showed receptiveness to accept the gospel tract but was really in a hurry for a doctor appointment or else she would certainly stop to speak with me a Hongkonger.香港人拿單張

Stephanie waited at the wrong spot for Andrew and was found by me to show her the right side she should have gone.

9) Susanna is a Maui Christian from NZ. She has 100% assurance of salvation but was made on the wrong basis of being a baptized church goer. She is that kind of Christian who has good but just inward going church life without the sense of outreach as an ambassador of Christ to share the gospel to people of all nations. So her understanding of salvation is basically incorrect. Yet she was not patient enough to have more discussion but left with the excuse of running late for an appointment.

10) I went over the bridge back to the West side and caught up with a local Aussie who initially hid his identity as a Christian. But I quickly spotted his piece meal bible knowledge. He kept asking my denominational background as such I could not yet check out his assurance of salvation before the bus came. He anyway seemed to have interest in me but no time to get my communication info but just a tract which he thought he can locate me. So just leave it to God if any follow up needed.

11) I then caught up with an Australian Born Japanese ABJ. I spent too much time catching up and showing off my Japanese but found that she does not speak and read Japanese at all except knowing my Japanese asking for her name. I any way still managed to share the nutshell of the Gospel to her in English and left with her an English tract.

12) Then my last chat was with two ladies from Chongqing重慶, China. They were looking for their bus schedule with great doubt so I gave them a hand. I could only manage to touch base upon the gospel and heave them with a tract each.

Christchurch (NZ) Team

March was a very busy month of ministry, and so in May, I’ve finally had a chance to get away and have a family holiday - which was great.

This week is my first week back.  On Tuesday I was online with the team, before heading to Riccarton.

My very first chat back was wonderful.  It was with a guy from Romania.  He seemed deeply impacted as I took him through the law.  But then (or maybe because of this) he grasped the gospel very quickly.  It turned into a long chat, over thirty minutes.  So good to be back into it!

I ended up having nine decent chats online on Tuesday.  The last one was also a stand out, because it went really deep.  It was with a teen guy in Texas, who ended up opening up.  He asked many wonderful questions.  Interestingly, his focus was on happiness, but it was clear he struggled with depression and even had suicidal thoughts at times.  But sadly, all his questions meant I didn’t really have a chance to get to the gospel, and then he had to go suddenly.  I was barely able to mention needGod.net before he disconnected.  Yet, I feel like we covered good ground with questions answered and assumptions challenged.  As always, I leave him in the hands of God, may he have another opportunity to really hear and understand the gospel - maybe from you?

It was also great to be back on the streets of Christchurch.  We are now heading into winter here, and so it’s getting dark a lot earlier.  So the Riccarton outreach ended up turning into an evening outreach!

It was a busy outreach.  I started with a few brief chats - one of which was a follow up.

But then I got into a wonderful long chat with three teen guys.  It was a fun conversation, with a very serious edge.  I hope they were challenged!

The highlight conversation was the last one.  It was with a lady who seemed to be searching.  She talked a lot, which is fine with me.  I soon learned that someone had invited her to a church, but it was very strange to learn that she had to pay to attend?!  My first thought was the cult: World Mission Society Church of God.  Sadly, my guess was correct!  Andy and I are encountering more and more people with connections to this group.  (To find out more, check this out.)

Anyway, I was able to slowly explain the gospel of God’s grace found in [the true] Jesus.  She took two tracts, one for herself, and one for the girl trying to get her involved with the WMSCoG.  She was pointed to the Bible, and was given contact details from the local church I’m a part of - which so happens to be in her area.  God willing, I will see her again.

On Wednesday I was online with the team again.  Again, my first chat was amazing.  The guy came to the brink of saying he now believed that Jesus had died on the cross for his sins, and yet I was forcing him to consider the cost of such a decision.  The chat went for nearly thirty minutes.  What a great start to the day.  I took a five minute breather, before getting into my second chat of the day.  Next thing I hear is “Whoa, we meet again”.  I pulled down the shield and was stunned to see that I had connected to the guy I was last talking to!  He said, “it’s God’s will”.  Out of 45,000 people, I reconnected with the same guy.  Reconnects happen very rarely - this one gave me goosebumps.  Very, very providential, it reminded me of the book of Acts.  I instantly challenged him on where he stood with God.  I warned him that he may not have another chance to respond to the gospel!  We chatted for another five minutes before we parted ways for the final time.

Of the ten chats I had, the other I’ll mention is one I was having with two girls.  Near the end, the mother came into their room.  One of the girls turned to her and said, “he is teaching us about God”.  She came up and looked at me, then she smiled and gave me a thumbs up (pictured), then left the room!  The gospel conversation with the girls kept rolling like nothing happened.  Praise God!

Toowong (QLD) Team

Operation 513 battle Log for Toowong on Tuesday May 25, 2021 from 1330 to 1500

Today was yet another nice Autumn with a warm and lazy sun showering us with soft radiant ray. The three of us Johnny, Winnie and Hung teamed up as normal to serve at the UQ bound Bus stop. Basically, it was a very smooth ministry period with minor reject rate but lot of successful conversation. There was another meaningful reunion with Ryan whom Johnny met few times before with the latest one about half year ago. Ryan has now graduated and got a job as garden car takers at Mt Coo-tha Botanic garden. But what excited us is to know through his conversation that he and many other younger members have been mobilized by the church to do regular outreach like us. The Hope Church he is attending send member out to do street evangelism at King George Square on Monday in the eventing. And Ryan occasionally join Operation 513 at KGS on Friday night after their Friday afternoon service. So God actually has raised up His own Christian army from different mission and ministry groups to be His witnesses in he city. We are privileged to be part of this end time gospel movement. Just pray that God will keep raising up more people to join and grow any of the existing Gospel Outreach team. Recap below are the battle log of Hung and Winnie.

1) An UQ female student from Mainland China was happy to have a chat. I barely had time to cover the nutshell of the Gospel when the bus came. She was reluctant to leave her name which I more so had to thank God to move her to listen willingly which if with other Chinese around it would be a rejection. Just pray for God's continue work in her heart.

2) The I approached Eric who is also from China and is now in year 3. But it was our first encounter here so it is definitely a divine encounter. He responded very positively to the Gospel I shared and showed great interest in my brief testimony of turning to Christ after working half of my life for the only boss CH Tung of OOCL. He was about to ask me a question yet the bus arrival had cut short our further exchange.

3) I followed up on a Christian UQ girl whom Winnie had had a chat to introduce her to Power to Change.

4) The next was a girl from Chongqing. China. Her initial reluctance to chat was withdrawn as I was able to identify with her as a 2008 Sichuan earthquake disaster relief worker, traveling a lot in Sichuan Chengdu and Quang Yuan which basically is half of her home province. I wasted no time to share the gospel once she was willing to chat. At the end, she still did not want to leave her name which again was a sign of grace that she could have completely rejected me for a chat.

5) Sonny was another female UQ student from Mainland China. She was cooperative and responsive to the gospel. Pray for the work of the Spirit to move her to make the last step of faith to receive Christ.

6) Then I caught up with an Aussie girl who listened the gospel before. I still managed to receive the message of the tract with her until her bus arrived.

7) Ryan was the active member of the Hope church who is from Malaysia. He recognized us so he stopped to catch up with us and share about his journey in learning and making himself a disciple of Christ to share gospel with non-believers. It was a moment of grace for mutual edification in His love and as co-workers in Christ.

Battle Log of Winnie :

感謝 神今天的带领，讓我遇到十一人傳福音的機會。

第一位是印度男士，Chris, 他聽完福音，需要時間想想。

第二位是中國 UQ 學生，他只是聽我講全福音，講見証，直到巴士到來。沒有回應。

第三位是香港來的 UQ 學生，Sunny. 他聽完福音及見証後，需要時間想想。

第四位是澳洲少女，Sammy, 會想想 宗教問题。

第五位 Jamaican 少女，Silvia. 基督徒。明白救恩，願意接受我给她的單張，傳福音给其他人。

第六位中國來的 UQ 學生，Mary. 很專心聽我講的福音及見証。願意找教會尋求更多真理。

第七位 澳洲少女，Ellen, 基督徒。我解释救恩给她。她願意接受我给她的單張，傳福音给其他人。

第八位澳洲男士，講了一半福音，巴士來到。

第九位 澳洲男士，我講了重要福音，他接受單張，趕着要離開往别處。

第十及第十一位，澳洲年青人。Steve & Ann 男女朋友.他們很專心聽我講的福音及見証，及很開心聽到這好消息。因為時間到，Johnny & 關牧師等着我，所以我要停止及離開。

願 主带领今天聽到福音人士，找到適合教會，永遠跟随主，阿們！感謝讚美主！

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday May 19, 2021 from 1300 – 1500

It was a gloomy afternoon, but Gary and Hung still were called to serve at Sunnybank while Johnny was not available for personal matter. God also moved and called the couples Bill Bai and Sister Lan from Chinese Christian Church of Brisbane, St Lucia Congregation to join us at 1330.

Gary first set up his signs on the East side targeting the south bound traffic to see the signs. I went over to have the opening prayer with Gary and took a few of his conversation with passer by then I returned to the West side to wait for Bill and Lan. Before the came I started approaching two persons as recap below all with very in-depth chat. After Bill and Lan arrived, I briefed them again the things to take note and the mind set to engage into street evangelism conversation that it is purely through the work and guidance of the Holy Spirit, So feel no burden to open up oneself with our mind completely preoccupied by the Holy Spirit to do His work under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Praise and thanks God that both made the step of faith to start approaching many people. Lan mostly approached those Chinese speaking people because of limited command of English. Bill can speak better English so he did dare to preach the gospel to English speaking Local Aussie. Despite the courage of Lan to approach many Chinese, she received an almost one-sided response of rejection. We had to counsel her to neglect the response whether it is positive or negative, but just look up to God to make as many outreach contacts as God led you to have through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As a result of the heavy counselling and mentoring need for Bill and Lan, I had relatively less time to do my only outreach but still I managed to have following conversation as recap below: -

1) Katherine is a Vietnamese born here. Initially she gave outright rejection to chat or accepting tract. But when I found out she is an UQ student , so the Spirit prompted me to identify with her as the Alumni then started sharing what subject I did and why leading to a personal testimony how God moved me to do this Master degree study for gaining an identity to join the 2008 Sichuan earth quake disaster relief team partnering the HKG Counselling professional to provide post traumatic counselling. From this profession healing I led her to see that our life is all full of hurt and ruin by bad relationship twisting the normal function of emotion affecting our character growing up as an adult. It allowed me to introduce the issue of sin we all are suffering hurting each other and without peace and sense of security. So the Spirit guided me to actually share the full gospel to her with time just right before her bus arrived. I was graceful for the Wisdom from the Holy Spirit to turn around most of the initial rejection lately back into an in-depth heart sharing opportunity ending with the preaching of Gospel with better life inspiring effect. Pray that the Spirit will do follow up work on the life of Katherine.

2) Then I approached an Asian looking old lady who pretend to speak neither English or Chinese. This is part of the normal scenario in Street evangelism so I gave up after speaking a short while in all three language to make sure she really did not want to listen to me anymore.

3) Then I turned to my left to catch up with a senior man named Shang Shu尚書 from Beijing北京. He is from a Christian family with parents graduated from Catholic University in China and lead a pious life. Yet Shang Shu have all along adopt a sceptical attitude toward faith even though he still has become a church goer worshipping at an English speaking Bible Grace Church. He politely accepted by tract but with no intention to chat with me. I offered myself to keep our conversation going and eventually I started to learn more about his life though initially he did not want to let me know he is a nominal Christian. After knowing that then I changed my tactic to help him to ponder if he really understand salvation and have accepted Jesus. As expected, he actually has no assurance of salvation because he thought he is still not good enough to qualify as a Christian. This is exactly what we want to address by the tract. At then end, he now know that even though now as a Christian he is not yet perfect, but his heavenly identity has already been guaranteed by the redemptive blood of Jesus. Then at this point in time, Bill and Lan arrived to join me. Gary also went over to team up with us to get more conversation before he left a bit earlier.

4) After having a debriefing with Bill and Lan, I turned around to share with an old English lady. She also preferred not to be disturbed, but some how the Spirit moved me to keep sharing the gospel to her. She turned her face away from me started soaking which I took a while to realize. Anyway, I trusted the work of the Spirit already touched her lonely heart turning her inner emotion being released in the form of soaking before God.

5) Then I approached a Filipino young lady whom Lan had approached without success. She also turned a cold face to me but I still managed to convinced her to take our tract when the bus came.

6) Christine is a local Aussie and Phoebe an immigrant from Vietnam. Both are high school student of Sunnybank State school. They did not feel offended when I interrupted their casual chat. It ended up they were both very open and receptive to the gospel accepting that they are not perfect and need Jesus’s salvation. Pray that the Spirit will do the necessary follow up work to guide them to make the final step of faith.

7) Then I turned to a Pakistan mum with her young son needing much care to stop making a nuisance in public. I pacified the anxious son by calling him good boy. It works to make the boy quiet down to behalf as a good boy I called him. The mum was happy and I followed along this line of “Is good person good enough for Heaven” She appeared extremely positive and responsive to my gospel sharing and admitted that she also need Jesus irrespective of her Muslim religions background. So, Prayer is needed for the final change of heart of this Muslim background mum.

( 8 ) Finally I caught up with an old CFC ex-members and invited her to come back to celebrate the 24th Anniversary of CFC with us this coming Sunday on 23/5/2021. It was all the work of God to enable me to have make so many contacts , connections and conversations for His Name and glory sake.

Toowong (QLD) Team

Operation 513 Battle Log for Toowong on Tuesday May 18, 2021 from 1330 – 1500

Today, Gary joined Johnny and Hung while Winnie was absent for her follow up consultation with an Eyes Specialist. After opening prayer, Gary chose to set up his signs with link pointing to Needgod.net (a gospel website) at the foot of the pedestrian bridge.

Johnny and Hung teamed up to serve at the Bus Stop as usual. Basically, God gave ample of divine appointments to all of us without hiccup up liked last week. Johnny even got chance to lead an UQ student from Czechoslovak to Christ after listening to the Gospel. Gary towards the end joined us at the Bus Stop and kept getting gospel conversation.

We were graceful for all the gospel sharing opportunities and pray that God will follow up on them until they all bear fruit. Recap below are my Gospel conversations.

1) Jade is from India having good interaction with me showing wisdom in thought. He did not take a tract but he understood the gospel and had some lovely thought on man admitting we are all sinners that without a savour, we all go to hell.

He is just not ready to accept a non-Indian God head as His saviour. It is a pity the bus came too early to let me dig deeper to show that Jesus is an universal Saviour or a Messiah for people of all nations including India.

2) Jessie whom we all have chatted with her before but I did not give up on following up her status of readiness. It was a pity again the bus came a bit early before any useful conversation can be exchanged.

3) A Redshirt girl appeared very willing to listen to my gospel sharing but I only made it to half when the bus came. I could only leave it to God for a future follow up.

4) A Vietnamese mum appeared not fully open enough to chat because her heart and mind was all preoccupied for looking after her baby. I complemented her will and determination to study while doing a full-time mum job. Can only pray the tract she got will serve some purpose before a future possible 2nd chance.

5) Then I caught up with a young lady in Muslim costume who possibly is from Malaysia or Indonesia. She claimed she had already chatted with all of us previously. I Checked on here understanding of the gospel through the tract, stressing the judgement of sin makes Christianity stood out from all other earthly religion. She has no objection to this as such I established once again with her that all humankind no matter good or bad are all imperfect as such sinners that need redemption by Jesus. She seemed to have got this crucial point.

6) Another Indian guy whom we met before was about to chat with me but our brief conversation was interrupted by a long phone call. So there will be next time.

7) Then I approached an Aussie girl and an Indian girl who chose to hide themselves under the shade of the bus stop. But they did not show reluctance to have a chat with me or any expression of being disturbed. The Indian girl even jokingly asked if the tract was free. I quickly got into gospel message but still only had it half done when the bus came.

 8) Then I followed up on Luke who declined to chat with Johnny claiming he is readily a Christian. I checked his assurance of salvation which was not 100 percent. I clarified his misconception and he thanked me by taking a selfie with me.

9) An English-speaking Asian looking lady let me chat with her for a short while but excused herself for reason that she was in a rush. I did my part and leave the rest to God.

10) My last conversation was with a cute girl from France. She was exhausted from carrying heavy shopping bag so she could not pay full attention but kept taking off her overcoat because of heavy sweating. After settling down for a while, she started to respond well with the gospel message. I basically managed to finish the nutshell of the gospel before seeing her off on to the bus.
