Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday April 30th, 2025 from 1030-1200

Teamed up with Johnny again with only one or two more outreach opportunities before his another prolonged overseas trip. We serve individually as guided by the Spirit but every now and then, we realized actually God is moving us to deal with different persons that are best for each of us to approach. Or sometimes, let a single target being approached by both of us on after another creating a team work dynamics and exchanging info about the targets. Today was more or less of the first type of team work. Recap is the battle log of Hung with Chinese from Mainland China, Taiwan and Singapore as the majority targeted outreach group which if course was by the election of God through the orchestrating work of the Holy Spirit.

1) First approach was locked up on a young man from Guangzhou who however could speak beautiful Cantonese which is a bit unusual. Used this as the ice breaking topic before sharing the full gospel with good receptive response.

2) Then caught up with a PHD student of UQ for 6 years on politics from Singapore. Quickly built rapport basing on some breakout news of the acute comments by the ex-Prime minister wife of Singapore against an important political figure. It gave me lead to bring the conversation back to the gospel reinforcing the common sense consensus that there is no perfect righteous human as we are all fallen sinners beyond redemption. On the premises, even a PhD candidate agree we all need a Savior to make us clean again from the bondage of sin.

3) Next I was led to catch up with a couples with wife a Christian from PNG then the husband a Sikh form India. I first chatted with the Christian wife and tested that she has 100 assurance of salvation but for the wrong reason apart from Christ sacrificial death and atoning grace. While clarifying her faith understanding, I took the opportunity to share the gospel to the Sikh husband assuring that Sikh is good as a religion and the teaching is heavily focus on the righteousness of god. But Sikhism and all other religion failed to address the issue of sin. Pray that the couples will be moved and enlightened by the Spirit to embrace the same faith and same God one day, better sooner than later.

4) Then another Kairos moment to reach the die hearted Mainlander , but this mom from Tsingtao accompanying her son to do high school here was well prepared to be exposed to real faith which is the seed bed of democratic thoughts. She appeared super open and receptive to the gospel.

5) Then I was led to a young lady who claimed to be an ABY or Australian Born Taiwanese. Her dress was with a MUSLIM LOOK but appeared also open and receptive to the gospel message.

6) Last but not the least, I entered into a long conversation with a senior lady from Beijing北京大媽，she was waiting there for her husband that had gone shopping by himself. It gave me a long period of at least 345 min to have a long chat first of life in Beijing and now in Australia and eventually sharing first my testimony before finally leading into full gospel message. Perhaps because they have now migrated to Australia, therefore she appeared open and receptive to the gospel without losing her nerve at all.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday April 29th , 2025 from 1030-1200

Teamed up with Johnny for yet another very full and fruitful period of Gospel proclamation ministry. Reached many people from different Nations (people group) with variating kind of responses. No matter what was the initial reaction, majority cases we can see the change of heart due to the apparent work of the Holy Spirit. One typical example, my last gospe3l target initially rejected Johnny, the Spirit moved me to have another go. His initial reaction was still very rude, and antagonistic but the Spirit guided me to chat around soft topic and eventually lead to the topic of peace giving me a chance to differentiate the peace in flesh and peace in Christ. I even earned a selfie ending that was unexpectable in the beginning. God is good and it is always the Spirit at work via we are just the vessel or messenger of God's words.

1) First approach was brief with a 2nd year student of health food subject.

2) Next with a Singapore lady who studies marine science. She was OK for a chat and ended up listening the full gospel

3) Then Danelle an Indian Catholic Christian who has only 60% assurance of salvation but with a correct answer to 2nd question about pure faith in God about Jesus atoning grace. Misconception clarified and happy to take a selfie as a memory.

4) Next is a Chinese couples with the man a postgraduate from Guangzhou. 廣州研究生. Despite a mainlander but appeared open to the gospel message.

5) Next was a Catholic Christian young man from mainland China which is rare. Yet his answer to the 2 diagnosis question indicated he do not understand the meaning of salvation yet turn hostile when he found that his concept about Christianity was not correct and then refuse to have any more discussion.

6) Local Aussie decline chattery listen to Music

7) Next was the 2nd Singaporean who was eager to have a chat but no time as bus arrived very quickly.

8 ) Next were two Indian girls but again conversation cut short due to arrival of their bus.

9) Josh an Indian from Southern India who appeared very open and receptive to the gospel as such he was delighted to take a selfie as memory about our divine appointment in Christ.

10) Then use Japanese to catch up with Sean from Osaka Japan. Built good rapport through my Japanese living and working experience drawing his interest to know about Jesus and listen to the full gospel sharing with receptive outcome.

11) Sili Pam a senior person above 70 from Thai. He initially rejected Johnny's approach. God moved me to nevertheless approach him despite his arrogant attitude. As mentioned, eventually he softened down bit by bit and I could have the chance to share gospel to him in a subtle manner. He now can differentiate peace on earth which is conditional to circumstances and true inner peace due to life changing effect in Christ.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday April 23rd, 2025 from 1030-1200

Today, I teamed up with Johnny again to serve at Sunnybank. In terms of effectiveness of gospel sharing, it was a day of barren result as majority of the gospel target, mostly from mainland China , showed consistent despising and rejective attitude towards faith and gospels. Mainlanders are really a people of grave lost souls. We can only try our best to keep penetrating gospel message to them. On the contrary, even Buddhism follower from Thailand held more open and objective mind for gospel. Recap is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) First approach to a Skeptics ABC with parent from mainland China, she did not give too much positive response or feedback and appeared hesitant to even tell her name.

2) Next is possibly an ABV of Vietnam origin. She is possibly of Buddhism background but still show open mind and willingness to listen to the Gospel with positive feedback admitting no one is perfect and we all need a Savior to cleanse our sin.

3) Then next is a Mainlander from Fuzhou福州. who showed great contempt for Gospel in the capacity of an Atheist.

4) After repeated negative experience, I was led to approach a funky girl with heavy make-up. Actually Johnny admitted later he purposely avoid approaching her. I also only was led to approach her when she is the last left at the bus stop. But to my surprise, she is the most fair dinkum Christian the passed my assurance of salvation test with 100% faith to go to heaven and all because of Jesus. It was a great lesson that we should never ever judge someone by their appearance and dress.

5) Next I was lewd to approach Siri a Thai girl from Bangkok of Buddhism background. She claimed I chatted with here once, but she did not turn me down but listen patiently my full gospel sharing once more time. She obviously was moved like the Vietnamese girl and become more appreciative of the gospel message. She also confirmed she has been watching us over the years to share gospel here with people of all Nations which was appreciated and admired by her.

6) Then came another indifferent Atheist from Mainland China who heard but not really listening to the gospel message.

7) Finally I caught up with another Mainlander girl with similar negative and unwillingness to listen to the gospel message.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday April 22nd , 2025 from 1030-1200

I was serving alone today at Toowong as Johnny was not available. It proves to be a good timing to do outreach at this earlier time slot of 1030 to 1200 that there are always ample opportunities to preach the gospel to people of all Nations.

1) I was led to Charlie a Qut student but lives in St Lucia. He is non religious but all open to the gospel message and agreed its logic that every one need a Savior to make us clean again without the bondage of sin.

2) Next was a lady Li from China, who is first year of UQ. She was a bit nervous in the beginning but open up good enough to listen to full gospel admitting the message makes sense that as long as no human is perfect, we all need a savior to take our sin away making us clean again as a new creation.

3) Then I caught up with Pamphon an Indian, as a Hinduism followers, he believes in Heaven and Hell and said Heaven is on earth which align with the New Heaven and New earth being the New Jerusalem descending on to the earth. He ended up showing great receptive to the gospel of Jesus redemptive and atoning grace taking our place to received the punishment of eternal death.

4) Next is a Mainlander from Hangzhou杭 who appeared very resistance and skeptical though polite enough to listen to the gospel and agree all the logics.

5) Then had a long chat with a Jakarta Muslim Mum minding her infant baby. She completely took in the points that religion cannot address the issue of sin. As long as we admitted we are a good person but not perfect, we all need the help from a Savior who must be a perfect human being but also a perfect God that he willingly took our place to receive the eternal death punishment but mean time he rose from death on the 3rd day to prove that he has conquered the power of death and defeated Satan.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday April 16th , 2025 from 1030-1200

Today, I again served solo as Johnny became unavailable with trade man coming to serve his home. It was a special day for me as it tested my perseverance against an initial period of helplessness , serving alone and facing, rejection or simply ignorance then followed by a momentary period of empty bus stop with no people there to look for a chat. Finally, God gave me a few extraordinary divine appointments that resulted in unexpected fruit bearing outcomes as per Battle Log below: -

1) There were not may people around so I naturally approach the lone person who is a Korean. He anyway declined my approach kept saying sorry, so I guess it was all because of his bad English level.

2) Then I turned to the only person at the bus stop from Mainland China中國，he obviously was sacred to chat with a stranger about religious, though I readily started off on rapport building. He anyway chose to let me talk but with no response to my words.

3) Then I tried to approach an English old Lady after getting off fthe bus, but she did not stay yet left me with a few words of encouragement. Then I realized she had several chats with me before and has all along showed a supportive stand.

4) After all these trialing initial hiccups, God led me to approach yet another mainland Mr Huang.中囯黃 He also gave me a blunt refusal for a chat, but instead he changed his mind to ask me for guidance how to take bus to South Bank. I gave him many suggestions to make him feel safe then I can use the good person gag to show him even people like me who are helpful to strangers would not go to heaven as the standard set by God is you have to be perfect. At the end, he became fully open and receptive to the4 gospel message. I ended helping him to tell the Bus driver to alert him to get off at his targeted place. He was so happy and impressed by the Christian love and was willing to take a selfie to symbolize our accidental friendship orchestrated by God.

5) Then I had chance to catch up with an UQW student from Cambodia. He was also all open and receptive to the Gospel

6) Last but not the least, I approach Ruby who had been at the bus stop for quite sometime. She is an ABC who prefer English, she is non-religious though with many Christian friends. I ended up sharing her the full gospel and she looked very impressed and convinced to pursue Christianity and accept Jesus as her Savior.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday April 815th , 2025 from 1030-1200

After a hectic Monday attending the memorial service of Lily's husband Joseph Tam, I start a new week of regular street outreach to day with Johnny at Toowong. It was a fruitful team work again with intermittent rain, but not affecting our opportunities of outreach. The leading of the Holy Spirit was apparent leading me to approach someone who had rejected Johnny but God created another window opportunity and moved me to head up to approach that guy once again and eventually achieving His purpose. Please refer details in Battle Log below: -

1) An USA exchange student who claimed to be Christian but only has 90% certain to go to heaven. Half explained and conversation was cut short by bus arrival.

2) Then a Kiwi migrant of non religious background but was open and receptive to the gospel message.

3) Rejected by a young lady who was busy in texting.

4) Next I was led to a crosse breed girl with Mum a Chinese , She is non religious but was totally open to the gospel message admitting everyone including herself need Jesus to cleanse our imperfection in our sin corrupted human nature.

5) Then an Indian lady not mind chatting but pardon as she needed to make a call to deal with some urgent matter.

6) Next is Lee from Penang who is non religious. Again he find no fault in the gospel message that as long as we are not perfect we need a Savior like Jesus.

7) Allan who rejected Johnny may be lacking interest in religious matter. But I observed he just missed his bus and felt a bit pissed off. The Spirit instantly gave me the flash of thought that, he would have missed another opportunities to hear the gospel and I was given this privilege to be a messenger to do this. So I introduced myself expressing exactly this same thought which successfully attracted his attention and interest to see what he would have missed. The timing was perfect and I finished the full gospel sharing convincing him don't miss the chance of not getting disqualified for the Kingdom of God and be deprived of the eternal life offered by Jesus through His sacrificial death. What a turn around of the whole situation by the divine power and guidance of God through the work of the Holy Spirit.

8 ) Then I seldom approach two persons Claire and Olivia together who are both UQ and two fair dinkum Aussie. I used these slang to show them that they are not yet dinkum enough to be called Aussie, and like wise they can become a fair dinkum Christian accepting Jesus through the gospel message. They were happy to ponder upon this important life issue.

9) Then I was led to a tall guy in red to share him a quick Message of the core of gospel and he appeared very ok and receptive.

10) Lastly, I was led to approach Frank from Ghana who is a Christian but lacking assurance of salvation. I clarified the issue just in time before the bus arrived.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday April 9th , 2025 from 1030-1200

Today was the first day we have advanced our ministry time earlier to 1030-1200. The result was all good. Both of us, Johnny and Hung, got many quality and long conversation. A stand out one was with a Muslim migrant from Afghanistan as elaborated below in Hung's Battle Log.

1) I was led to approach a lady by the name of Tang 鄧from Hong Kong港女. She came at young age to receive high school than Uni education in Australia for almost 11 years. She is non-religious, 無信仰. Yet she was open to the gospel message and accepted the fact that, as long as we, human are imperfect, every one has the need to address the issue of sin that rightly have disqualified us to rejoin the heavenly Kingdom. The only way is to let Jesus to help us accepting Him as our Savior as such the punishment of eternal death meaning forever losing the right to re-connect with God can be written off by Jesus taking over our punishment. And the record of our sin is set to zero the moment we accepted Jesus as our Savior thereby making us a new creation clean and perfectly sin free for regaining the sonship or heavenly citizen ship of God. She was happy to ponder seriously to make her last step of faith to accept Jesus as her Savior.

2) Scott , a local Aussie who was also non religious. The Spirit led us through the similar conversation and he was happy to realize that the meaning of fair dinkum Aussie can also be applied to make him a fair dinkum Christian once he accepted Jesus.

3) Zabi is a refugee migrant from Afghanistan. The Spirit led me to casually chat about our past life journey before entering into gospel sharing. He is a highly educated person with a Master degree in Economic and very perfect English of high proficiency level. His parent also run a good small family business in Afghanistan but all of these were ruined by the Taliban coming into power. As a Muslim, he realizes when a human being are in power, they will very likely be corrupted and be driven to accumulate wealth in the expense of ordinary people. So needless for me to tell him, he readily observed, religion is aimed to make someone a better person but it is never a solution or remedy to make people becoming a perfect or sinless person. Rather people in power either in politics and or religion are all vulnerable to become corrupted and greedy regime trying to stay in power to maximize their monetary gain. It is along this line of reflection that Zabi, an pious Muslim admitted fallen human are beyond redemption and need a Savior to cleanse our sin. We chatted for an hour and say good bye as a cross cultural friend even when we are still two persons of different faiths.

4) Lastly had sometime to chat with a senior person from Guangzhou, whose world view and mindset has been seriously brained wash by communism up bringing. I nevertheless share him the full gospel and handing him a tract.

Today was a soaking rainy day. Johnny was sick so I had to start solo again. The rain made people in bad mood, so not a best day for evangelism. Nevertheless, I still managed to get a number of good chats that stood out as recap below: -

Today is the first time I served with Johnny again as a team after his long vacation break. We both were moved to advance our ministry time to 1030 instead of 1330. It helps to avoid the peak traffic before and after the outreach. It also spare us from the high noon scorching heat during summer at the concrete base bus platform. Most importantly, we can outreach to a slightly different group of people who go to UQ in the morning. The people flow seems to be more numerous than then afternoon period. Both of us had many meaningful and long conversation that hopefully will bear ripen fruit in His time. Recap below is the Battle log of Hung: -

1) Daren, an Indonesia born Chinese of Catholic Christian background yet lacking 100% of assurance of salvation. He appreciated my clarification and now confidently declares he has 100% assurance now. He also enlightened me on a query, how come Indonesia the largest Muslim population country has an extraordinary high percentage of 20% Christian ratio. It is because all Chinese do not want to become Muslim , so they all turn out to be either Catholic or protestant Christians.

2) August a Brisbane based young man who is non religious but very open and receptive to the gospel. He admitted no one including himself not perfect and now understand it will lead to eternal separation form God and indefinitely disqualified to be heavenly citizen. I advised him to ponder and make his last step of faith. If he has any query, either look for me here every Tuesday or seek helps from Power to Change.

3) Next was a girl from Shanghai上海姑娘，basically, she felt insecure to chat with stranger on religious matter有不安感 even though she still remained polite to listen to the full gospel .

4) Then i chatted with a UK girl who is non religious, but she was open enough and admitted the gospel is rational model to lead to the conclusion that for human who are imperfect with sin, then we all need the salvation of Jesus as our Savior.

5) Then I caught up with an Indian girl from Deli who studies Computer Science at UQ. Time was too too rush and her English not so good so only a nutshell of the gospel was briefed with a tract.

6) Then caught up with Daisy another Scotland girl from Edinburg. She is non religious but very soft hearted and receptive to the gospel.

7) Then had a medium long chat with a Sri Lankan who was completely open and receptive to the Gospel.

8 ) Hsu許from Taipei,Taiwan台灣，who is non religious 無宗教 but still managed to share the full gospel講完。

9) Last but not the least, I did follow up chat with an elderly from Beijing who had a long chat with Johnny. When Johnny turned to chat with his wife, I caught up with the husband and touch based on some issues on sin and how human in flesh can never deliver ourselves from the bondage of sin.
