New Zealand Mission - Week Two - Christchurch - Day Three

Today we focused on outreach in the city.  With a team of three there were more than enough people around to keep us busy in one to one gospel conversations.

We started in the Square, moved to Cashel via Colombo, and then down Cashel to the Bridge of Remembrance.  Having conversations as we went.

After some time at the Bridge, we followed the same track backwards to the Square.  One conversation that really stood out for me was one Craig and I had with an older guy from Ashburton.  He was happy to talk and it turned out he was a Christian.  We chatted for a bit, and then I said, “please don’t be offended, but because I don’t know you, I want to check - why can God let us into heaven?”  (I wanted to know what he thought it meant to be a Christian.)  Well, he got offended!  “I’m not answering that, I’m a Christian, I’m not interested in debates.”  We chatted some more, and I tried again - but he shut me down.  Bemused, we parted ways soon after that.

We had lunch in the Square, and then decided to head towards Ara.  We spent the first hour in conversations with people on the way before Andy insisted we move on - he wanted to get to the students!

The rain came, but it didn’t stop the team from having many chats down by Ara.  Craig had some great chats.  Andy got into a long chat with a Jewish guy - deeply religious, and they had the Bible out in deep discussion.  And I had great chats too.

Two days of mission to go in Christchurch - please keep us in prayer!  Thank you so much.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Toowong on Tuesday March 9, 2021 from 1330 to 1500

It was yet another ordinary day dedicated to serve the Lord. Only Johnny and Hung were available with Winnie taking a medical surgery sick leave for two weeks. In this connection, it kept both of us more busy to have non- stop chats. There were many occasions both of us were bound in chatting without taking any photo for each other. Recap below is my battle log for 10 conversations.

1) Felt , a local Aussie who tendered me initial rejection. But I switched to pure chat mode to gain friendship and was successful to share full gospel with him.

2) Sandy an UQ student also a fair dinkum Christian who is friend of Yasmin of Power To Change. He is aware of OPN 513 and basically has got full and clear understanding of salvation with 100% assurance.

3) Bridget an Aussie girl who was reluctant to chat initially. Again the new tactic of making friend worked to keep the conversation carry on with Gospel also eventually been shared.

4) Will was willing to chat though we only talked for a short while and nut shell of the Gospel was shared in time before the bus arrives.

5) An arrogant half HongKonger originally from Mainland China was not sure if he wanted to hear the Gospel but I still managed to keep the chat going on basing on the HongKonger identity. Yet he has a stone heart to keep resisting to hear the gospel after I persisted to share for a short while. Anyhow, I still felt that God is determined to break him up one day to submit himself to Christ.

6) Joyce an old Christian lady who is not clear about the gospel but sure about her salvation. It was a pity I did not have more time to help her to get the more comprehensive understanding of gospel.

7) A tall guy Henk Li from Liao Ning of Mainland China is of Buddhist background by family tradition.李漢遼寧,家佛,He is very polite and friendly to listen to the Gospel with great interest.態度友好. Pray that the seed of Gospel will sprout in His time to bear fruit.

8) An local Aussie in red grid shirt showed politeness to chat with me but showing no interest though he still took the tract to read. So pray for God's follow up work

9) A Catholic Christian yet without assurance of salvation. He was humble to chat but it was a pity the bus came a bit too quick before I had time to elaborate.

10) Abby an local Aussie UQ student who appeared very receptive to the Gospel and listened with great interest. Pray for God's follow up work.

New Zealand Mission - Week Two - Christchurch - Day Two

Today a team of four were at Northlands in the morning and then in New Brighton in the afternoon.

The bus stops weren’t busy - four evangelists was a bit much saturation!  So a couple of us stayed at the bus stops, while the other two went searching down Papanui Road.

One encounter was quite interesting.  Andy was talking to someone about the gospel while an elderly lady was listening from a distance.  After his chat, he approached the lady - she didn’t want to talk, but accepted a tract and said she would read it when she got home - fair enough.

Well, soon after I was talking to Andy and we noticed some new people gathering near the elderly lady.  I went over to engage them, but was told by Andy he had already approached her.  One of the guys took a tract, the other was willing to engage for a short time before his bus arrived and he had to go.  But I was using different tracts to Andy and the elderly lady noticed.  She asked if she could have a copy of my one too!  She still didn’t want to talk, but was happy to take tracts.  I gave her two kinds, so she had three in total.  People are interested!

But by eleven o’clock, we decided it would be more fruitful at New Brighton, so we made the move early.

Before lunch we had some great chats.  I offered a tract to a guy at the car park - who accepted it.  Soon after, Sophie came across him again on the Pier and she had a wonderful gospel chat with him!

After lunch I had a VERY long chat with two people who were drinking alcohol.  It wasn’t your usual gospel chat, I had to be patient, and listen as there was real openness and yet real resistance.  It was like a spiritual battle.  We talked about many things, but multiple times I was able to go over the law and the gospel.  I could see understanding in one of them, but hopelessness at the same time.  It was like it was impossible for them - and it is, but not for God!  There was a moment when I said, “It’s not try, but trust…”  something clicked and one pulled out their notebook and wrote it down!  I hope they don’t misunderstand.  I used checking questions at the end.  When I finally moved on, we had some deep hugs.  I could tell they were impacted.  Oh God, I can’t save them, only you can.  Only you can change our hearts, and break these evil addictions.  I leave these precious people in your hands!

After this the team focused on the mall area - there weren’t many people, but enough to keep us busy.  Many heard the gospel - including a pirate!  Glory to God alone.  Give us strength to continue in this mission Lord.

New Zealand Mission - Week Two - Christchurch - Day One

It was a lot cooler this morning in Christchurch than what I’m used to up in Whangarei!  Autumn is arriving!  We started this leg of the mission in Riccarton, and then moved to Eastgate in the afternoon.  A team of three today.  Craig has joined Andy & I for the week from windy Wellington.

A bit of a slow start in Riccarton (for me) - I manned a flip chart, while Andy & Craig paired up and approached people.  But then I started to have a great run of conversations.

There was a Muslim guy who was clearly looking at his good deeds to save him.  He heard the law and gospel.  At one point he looked at his watch - usually a que to say “I need to go”.  So I gave him the option of leaving - to my surprise he said, “no, I have some time - it’s okay”.  Encouraging that he wanted to stay.

I had an elderly guy go past me a few times, the first time he refused a tract and an offer for a chat, so I didn’t bother him the second time.  But on the third time, he approached me!  He said, “I think I’ll take one of those things” - accepting a tract!  We started chatting, and he said he didn’t believe in that Bible stuff, scientists have proved x, y, z.  I think he was expecting me to fight - but I decided not to.  I was just overjoyed that he felt safe enough to approach this “crazy” Christian guy.  But oh how I wanted to engage him - but I could just tell he wasn’t ready or willing for it.  We chatted politely for a few minutes before he moved on.

The last interesting engagement of the morning was when I was paired with Craig.  I offered a tract to a guy who used to be a pastor for twenty years, but who was now apostate.  I so desperately wanted to talk with him, but he was a closed book that refused to open.  He even handed the tract back.

We had lunch together before making our way to Eastgate for the afternoon.  The highlight chat was with two guys waiting for their bus.  They followed the logic of the gospel presentation flawlessly, I was so encouraged at how fast they got it, and with no resistance.  I could tell one of them was counting the cost of the gift as I walked away.

Thank you for your continued prayer for the three week NZ Mission!

New Zealand Mission - Whangarei - Day Six

Well, this was going to be a five day mission split over Auckland and Whangarei but - in God’s sovereign plan, due to Covid lockdown in Auckland - ended up being a six day outreach all in Whangarei!  And what a wonderful week it’s been, so wonderful seeing the Christian’s in Whangarei getting involved, being challenged, encouraged and equipped for the great commission.  I have made many new friends, and existing relationships are deepening.  A BIG thank you to all in Whangarei that were involved!  Forget the things we (Andy & I) did wrong, and remember we (all of us) do this in God’s strength.  May the gospel continue to go forth in Whangarei! :)  Glory to God alone.

I’m currently sitting in Whangarei airport after a morning outreach in Cameron Street Mall.  At least ten Christians were involved: prayer, observation, pairing, tracts and conversations.

I spent a lot of time with Christians, answering questions, and explaining the pages of the flip chart.

Then a group of teen guys came past - including one I had talked to a previous day.  I asked if they wanted to do the good person test, they were keen, and suddenly I was focusing on four of these guys, plus some Christians keen to see what they had been learning in action (pictured).  It was an amazing conversation, where almost every page of the flip chart was utilised.  They came to understand the gospel (checking questions confirming), and were challenged to respond after counting the cost.  One of the guys was asking good deep questions, showing his engagement, e.g.: “Why is God allowing Covid?”.  And the crowd gathered a crowd, I had multiple people stop and listen to part of the conversation - including a lovely lady - elderly Maroi lady, dressed up fancy.  She had a mixture of concentration and laughter as I engaged with the boys.  She even got involved by answering some of the questions herself.  Half way through she had to go, but she thanked me, and took a tract.

I was exhausted afterwards, but overjoyed that the Christians watching had seen such a good example of the gospel being shared in action.

THANK YOU to the church in Whangarei - esp. Clark Road Chapel.  Thank you to our wonderful hosts for letting Andy & I stay in your homes, and feeding us.  For all your sacrifice and service, may God bless you!

Oh Lord, thank you for getting us through this wonderful week, and answering our desperate prayers for you help in this endeavour.  Have mercy and save people.  Continue to encourage the church.  Correct us when we get it wrong.   We love you JESUS!  Glory to you alone!

New Zealand Mission - Whangarei - Day Five

What an exciting day!  There were earthquakes off the coast overnight and in the morning (I didn’t feel them).  As we were about to head off to the first outreach of the day at the town basin, we became aware of a Tsunami warning.  After some debate, we decided to change the outreach to Kamo - which is high ground.  Some of the team didn’t make it!  Because our phones started receiving emergency warnings (we received many through the day).  Richard, Christine & Andy had to head for high ground somewhere else… but that was fine, because everyone else was heading for the same high ground, they had opportunities to share the gospel where they were.

A team of about seven made it to Kamo - and it was hot!  We ended up shifting the flip chart to the other side of the street to get into the shade.  I’m glad we did, because we ended up having a wonderfully long conversation with four young teen guys.  They came to grasp the gospel, and then they started asking really good questions.  One of them said: “I’ve learned more just now than I have at school”!  But another of them started processing the cost of the gift, and became resistant.  I exhausted their questions, and all my analogies - but they just didn’t want to leave - how good is that!

After lunch we went to Tikipunga for a change of scene.  As we parked the car, I noticed two guys sitting on a bench in the shade, and I knew that would be a good conversation.  And it was, it was the best conversation of the whole week so far.  Because these two guys were so laid back, Phil and I were able to slow right down and really work through the law and gospel and make sure they really understood.  The checking questions were really powerful, and they seemed to be blown away by the gospel.  One of the guys said, “You’ve changed my mind”, and “I believe that Jesus died for my sins”.  But they were both very engaged.  They were pointed to the Bible and to Clark Road Chapel before they moved on.

We moved back to Kamo for the last hour, and the high school kids were streaming past allowing many opportunities for gospel conversations.  Phil and I got into a lovely chat - almost as good as the last one!  The kid didn’t come from a religious home, but he was a deep thinker and thought about the afterlife all the time.  He already knew there must be a God, and so he heard the law and the gospel.  He really came to grasp it through the checking questions, and I could see him looking intently at nothing as Phil encouraged him towards a Bible and Clark Road Chapel.

Andy made it safely to the airport - praise God.  As my flights home were cancelled earlier in the week, I am now flying out Saturday afternoon, so there will be a final Saturday morning outreach tomorrow.  Thank you for your continued prayer!  Glory to God alone. :)

New Zealand Mission - Whangarei - Day Four

Is it really the end of Thursday?  Time is going so fast.  We have just finished another day of gospel outreach at the Kamo shopping area (morning), and then in Cameron Street Mall (afternoon).

It was quite wet in Kamo - but that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm.  There were about eight of us out.  And as per the pictures, everyone was busy in conversations.

I had a follow up conversation with Chris.  I’d had a long chat with him the previous morning in the mall.  So I was really surprised to see him walk past in Kamo!  He had been thinking about what we had talked about the previous day - sadly, he was resistant.  Yet he was happy to chat again - I tried to address his objections as best as I could, but I couldn’t see any progress.  This reminded me of my dependence on God in what we are doing - I can’t convert people!

I had a sad chat with a guy called Hal who claimed he didn’t care about what happened after life - in fact he said he welcomed death (he wasn’t suicidal).  Yet he stuck around and we had a good chat.  He seemed to already understand the gospel, a checking question confirming.  And yet he said, it “didn’t click” for him.  Again reminding me of our dependence on God in what we are doing.

By this stage, Emma and I were paired up and we approached two ladies sitting on a public bench.  We fell into a good conversation - and yet one of those ladies started dominating the air time and resisting, yet I could tell the other lady was interested.  So I started focusing on the other lady, and naturally the conversation split, Emma taking the talker.  It was just what was needed.  I was able to work through the gospel with the lady I was talking to - having to go through checking questions multiple times for her to really start grasping it.  And praise God, the lady Emma talked to opened up and was also able to hear the gospel!

And yet, I was burdened with the need for prayer.  After lunch, Christine suggested we pray together - and we did!  Praying for the lost to understand the gospel and for His help in the work we are doing.

We had a wonderful time in the afternoon.  A guy I had approached on a previous day and refused, approached me today, and we had a long chat.  It turns out he is a Reiki Master & Clairvoyant.  He was deeply resistant, and yet the chat went well - Christine joined in.  He heard the law and the gospel was touched on, but most of the time was spent navigating the resistance.  We parted ways with a handshake, and he took a tract as I had taken one of his cards.

Later I ended up having one of the best chats of the week so far!  Beth was taking some of the new team members through the flip chart when suddenly she noticed two ladies watching from a distance.  Beth invited them over to join in, but they were happy watching from a distance.  I decided to engage them - a mother and daughter and they came to grasp the gospel.  Even after checking about the cost of discipleship, the daughter said there was nothing stopping her from trusting that Jesus died on the cross for her sins.  I asked what they would want to do now, and they brought up the Bible, and the fact that they would want to start going to church!  They don’t live in Whangarei - so I asked them to get in touch via needGod.net (Instagram) so we could point them to a good church.  I also showed them how they could get a good Bible on their phone and they left with tracts.

Ok, way over time on this report, but please keep praying!  Day five and six to come, and we are meeting up for more training tonight. :)

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday March 3, 2021 from 1300 to 1500

After a scorching hot day at Toowong, great Storm wiped across Brisbane in the late afternoon and in the evening as such the suffocating heat was flushed away with a much cooler temperature left in the air even in the early afternoon of Wednesday. With such a fine climatic background, God used us today in great team work in multiple cases. At least three times, God used Johnny made the first approach and me to take over or doing a unexpected follow up with obvious divine purpose. Andrew as usual arrived a bit late at 2pm. Martin came at 1pm and we did commencing prayer together. Both are very faithful servant of God. They do street evangelism on Tuesday at Woodridge, Wednesday at Sunnybank, Thursday afternoon at CBD, Friday evening at King George Square. Andrew fortnightly also serves at Redcliffe. So we have four faithful servants serving as a team, with Johnny and Hung on the East side and Andrew, Martin on the West side. However, I may walk to and forth across the foot bridge if the gospel target are in a great hurry that cannot afford to stop and chat. That is basically the mode of Operation at Sunnybank. Recap below are my divine appointments for sharing gospel with 9 individual or group of people: -

1) An Aussie Girl 澳洲少女 in a rush but still managed to passed her the tract and shared her the nutshell of the gospel

2)  Mr Chang å¼µfrom Taiwan 台was willing to listen to my Gospel sharing, Actually, Johnny chatted with him the other day before. Just pray that the repeated message will eventually bear fruit in God's timing.

3) An Egyptians Mum and Son dressing in Muslim Gown and costume may appear hard for approach. But God opened door first for Johnny to help them out to locate the Clinic they are planning to visit, then my turn to help them find the fresh fish market. Two tracts about God's creation and the Good Person question were passed to them. While leading them to the super market, I could manage to share quickly the nutshell of the Gospel. I trust it will be very appealing to them as God had used us to show care and love irrespective of the faith and culture. They show great appreciation for our help and take it serious to keep and read the gospel tracts.

4) Alisa a high school student of kiwi origin who was not feeling very well but still let me walk her across the bridge to hear the nutshell of the Gospel and promised to read the tract and pray to God as moved.

5) Helen 上海,認真 is a middle aged lady from Shang Hai China. Unlike other mainlander, she took it seriously to hear the gospel and ask question when meaning was not clear. She was in a rush for shopping but she still manage to get full understanding of the gospel message considering her a person from atheist background. She genuinely will pray about accepting Jesus as here Saviour after our gospel sharing time.

6) Then came a JW lady 耶証的人that I might have met and chatted before. As I recalled she would ask if we are Christian. Last time I could manage to share her the full gospel and point out to her some wrong doctrine of JW. This time, she might have received warning to stay away from Christian so once she clarified I am a Christian Evangelist, she ran away to avoid me. I could only have pity for her and those JW people who are blinded by the JW teaching.

7) Dustin is from Ireland but seemed to be suffering from back wound that he could not stand straight to walk but have to use a trolley as his walker to walk. His face showed pain and suffering without hope. I anyway approached him as moved by the Spirit and used the excuse to help him push the trolley up the slope of the footbridge. While first showing my care and empathy for him. in the meantime, I share about the future hope for all sinners to be set free through the deliverance of Jesus that we will live a new life ultimately with everything back to perfection and good health. He happily received my tract at the end and feel more happy with someone even a stranger to care about him. I do trust that God has planted a seed of Gospel in his heart that will bear fruit one day.

8) Justin Chen é™³ chatted with johnny over 40 to 45 minutes. When I finished with Dustin, I bumped into Justin, and God moved me to ask him about the conversation with Johnny. He nevertheless told me he is still not moved yet to commit on Jesus and will maintain his own way of life while keep searching for a faith that will give him peace. I then asked why he could have such a long conversation with Johnny if he did not feel interested to pursue the truth of Jesus. He said he actually was interested to know why Christians are drawn to submit to God and the motivation power behind. I thus took the chance to share my testimony of salvation which impressed him very much. His mind was softened to see at least how God guide me step by step to draw nearer to him despite I was the same kind of rational mind person like him. I assured him that it was no coincident that he chatted with both of us for 45 minutes and then another 15-20 minutes. God must have a plan for his life to be changed. Later on, I learned from Johnny that his hesitation to receive the grace of Jesus' salvation is because he is a person of transsexual orientation. He feels he does not have strength to resist the temptation as such he choose to stay and hide himself in his own comfort zone. Pray hard for Justin that the mission power moment will happen on him in God's timing.

9)Then Madam Chang from Beijing 北京張女士 was first stopped by Johnny and she appeared interested to have a chat. But somehow she decided that she had to hurry away with another appointment. I was moved again to follow up with the unfinished chat and walked her across the foot bridge. Surprisingly , she appeared open and receptive to the gospel. I used the analogy of HKG returning back to China so that China can exercise the sovereign power to change or modify Hong Kong. Likewise, we must reconciled with God first by accepting Jesus's redemptive grace so that God can exercise His sovereign power on us again to transform us back to perfect. The analogy hit her spot on that she now think God resuming His sovereign power on our life is the right thing to do for delivering us from the bondage of sin but back to perfection. She rode her bike away joyously with good news in her heart.

今天南區的福音事工分別有遇到中美洲薩爾瓦多的天主教徒、山東濟南王女士、高雄來的UQ男同學 Justin、印度裔女生Yin,他們都聽到了福音,求上帝拯救。

New Zealand Mission - Whangarei - Day Three

Okay, it’s unintentional that most of the pictures from today have Andy in them!  There was a team of 12 out today.  It’s so encouraging seeing everyone getting involved, giving it ago, sharpening up - glorifying God and seeing him show himself strong through our weakness.

We started in the Cameron Street Mall again - and it became very busy by 10 am.

I know the team is having awesome opportunities - I’m hearing all the testimonies.  But I think the highlight conversation for me was one that occurred just as I was sitting down to have lunch.  I looked up and noticed three separate people watching a flip chart presentation occurring!  The person on the flip chart could only focus on one person, and didn’t even notice the person at the back.  I watched him start to move off, so I decided to go and talk to him.

I greeted the gentleman, and offered him a tract saying that it explained the content of the flip chart presentation.  But I also asked if he would like to talk about it.  To my surprise, he looked at me and said he would, but that he had had a hip replacement and needed to sit down.  So, we shuffled down the mall until we could find a place to sit.  Then he turned to me ready to talk about religion.

I didn’t hesitate, and we started by discussing how we know God exists.  Instantly he had questions, which I worked through one by one.  We moved through the law, why there is a hell, why hell is severe.  Finally I was able to share the gospel.  His response was that he couldn’t accept it - but I could tell he was interested.  I pleaded with him on the urgency of the matter.  He said he had questions, I offered to answer his questions.  But he refused, he needed time to process what I had said - understandable.  But I pointed him to the local church I am working with: Clark Road Chapel if he decided he wanted to talk further with someone.  He also had the gospel tract I gave him.  We parted ways with a handshake.  Please pray for George.

Before this, a Phillapino lady decided to accept an offered tract - she went out of her way to accept it, so I knew she was interested.  Sure enough, she wanted to talk.  She believed in God - having a Catholic background.  Surprisingly, she considered herself to be a bad person.  I was trying to swing the conversation to the gospel when she started to open up.  She had lost her husband nearly a year ago, and she was lonely.  She even came to tears - understandably.  Just at the right time, Christine came past and I pulled her into the conversation.  It ended up with the lady giving Christine her phone number and follow up will occur!

There was another great story - I started a conversation with a couple of guys.  One resistant and wanted to walk off.  The other wanted to talk, but had to follow his friend.  But to my joy, fifteen minutes later, I see Emma sitting down and talking to this guy (pictured).  So great being in this team, and seeing people have multiple opportunities to engage with the gospel!

After lunch, Andy & I open air preached, and then we moved to the Okara shopping area for outreach there.  Andy had a couple of outstanding gospel chats there.  One while paired up with Phil, the other while paired up with Pastor Andrew.  Apparently Pastor Andrew took them through the law, while Andy took them through the gospel - tag teaming the conversation.  Praise God.

I was paired with Callum, we had a few difficult chats, but at the end of the outreach I had a really great chat with a high school kid named Max - who came to grasp the gospel, took a tract and was pointed to the church.

And I’m over time for this report!  That is just a glimpse of the day.  Overjoyed at how things are going, but won’t stop praying - we are so desperately in need of God’s help in this work.  All glory to Him alone!

Operation 513 Battle Log for Toowong on Tuesday February 23, 2021 1330 - 1500

Another scorching hot day but it did not stop us to have many conversations in the Spirit. We as a team have learned to face rejection. Winnie has learned from us that we switch from gospel mode to friendship mode when facing initial rejection. As long as the conversation can linger on, there is bound to be point we can chip in gospel message at a later stage, Recap below are the Battle Log of mine and Winnie.

1) Frank, local Aussie, had an open mind to listen to the Gospel, with a heart yet to be softened further. Anyhow the seed of Gospel was sown. God's work is to be continued.

2) Mirada an UQ student from Roma. Her parents were from Sri Lanka of Buddhist background. Yet she is open to gospel message especially when I emphasize all religions including Buddhism are good at guiding people to be a good persons. But none except Christianity address the issue of sins that are subject to punishment to satisfy the righteous requirement of God. Without Jesus as a perfect person to take our place to receive the punishment of sins, we all will suffer eternally in the Hell of Fire. She admitted Gospel is sensible and logical for everyone to accept.

3) Liu is a Malaysian Chinese from KL of also Buddhism background. Her reaction was similar to Mirada showing receptiveness and is ready to make the step of faith to accept Jesus.

4) Lily is from Singapore of possibly Indian blood. Surprisingly , she is of similar Buddhist background s the previous two girls. The bus cam a bit too quick as such the nutshell of gospel only was shared.

5) Anwah is an UQ student from Sardi Arabia fully dressed in her Muslim background costume. But she again was surprising open showing the greatest degree of receptiveness to the Gospel showing no sign of rejection despite of her Muslim background. She really has the biggest prospect to make the needed step of faith.

6) Josie an local Aussie girl who claimed herself to be Christian. The diagnosis question one was correct that she has 100% of assurance of salvation, but failed to give me reason why she was saved. It was a pity I could not offer him more clarification and teaching as the bus again arrived a bit too early.

Battle Log of Winnie: -

感謝主 今天的带领,讓我遇到八人傳福音的機會。

有三位 UQ 學生,分别來自中國,Richard. 两位 來自馬來西亞,Matthew and Andrew. Matt 會想想宗教問题。Andrew 是得救的基督徒。

中國少女 Grace, 會去教會尋求更多真理。

Lana 相片中的澳洲少女,基督徒,明白救恩。

Jason, 越南青年,會想想宗教問题。

馬來西亞,UQ 女學生,Lily 及澳洲年青人,James, 不願接受單張及聽福音。我和他們分别前後閒談,最後帶入福音。他們都明白了。這也是活學活用,從關牧師及師母學來的。所以每次傳福音都是從中學習,增加經驗。

感謝讚美主。願 主賜福今天聽到福音人士,認罪悔改 歸向 神。
