Today , only Johnny and Hung teamed up to do the regular street outreach. Team work was experienced between Johnny and Hung and of course all under the sovereign guidance of the Holy Spirit. After Johnny having approached a lady in English, whom declined to chat. But a moment later, Hung was inspired by the Spirit to approach her once again but this time in Chinese. And Bingo, she is Cantonese speaking from Guangzhou as such Cantonese is the best native tongue the lady was to be connected with.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday August 28th 2024 from 1300-1500

Today, it returned to normal for Johnny and Hung to team up at Sunny bank. The weather already turned very warm and good for open air outreach. Both of us had non-stop opportunities to share with people of different nations. For Hung majority today were from Mainland China. And most of them appeared open and receptive as recap per Battle log below.

3) South Africa lady only declared she is a Christian after I shared the full Gospel. I quickly tested for her assurance of salvation which is only 95 %, but the bus arrived leaving no time for me to clarify and she on the other hand also not care to clarify.

4) Then I was ignore by a very cold face girl from Mainland China in comparison to the others today. Perhaps it was a contrast God wanted me to know that he already blessed me with many humble and teachable mainlanders.

5) Then I was led to connect with a bearded young UQ student from Henan???He claimed himself a religious guys accepting concurrently the Taoism, Buddhism and Christianity.????, he knew mixing up religions is not advisable but he claimed he did not have enough clue to make a choice while he has relatives affiliating with all three religion. ?????but he was extremely frank and friendly ?????

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday August 21st 2024 from 1300-1500

It was a dramatic day. I started the outreach work not firstly on the street at Sunnybank bus stop but God opening up a door for me to do mobilization work at SIC. First I noticed there are pile of Chinese Good Person tract in the office and the church office staff told me there are more stock in a box in the store room. It triggered a sharing and witnessing time with Fong Li the Muang minor tribe worker in the SIC office. Then I met Rev Samuel Suen outside the lobby eating his lunch. I was moved to invite him to do the rare Cantonese Kairos and hopeful learn to be a mobilizers of SIC Mandarin congregation. Let's pray for God's work to move Rev Suen to prioritize his time to do this 16th online Cantonese Kairos.

Then I rushed back to Sunnybank to do my solo street outreach with very encouraging results reaching out to local Aussie, Vietnamese, Japanese, Malaysian and two mainlander Chinese all with positive result as recap below: -

1) I actually caught up with Anthony for a longer chat for the fist time after he got off from the bus asking for time near the Pharmacy Warehouse. He remembers me and appreciate me catching up with him showing him the sort of love in Christ.

2) Then I was led to approach a Vietnamese young man first study here that stay for a job. He is of Buddhism background but still open enough to listen to half of the gospel when his bus arrived and got a tract as follow up and revision.

3) Rejected by an Islanders or indigenous woman with a child.

4) Then I caught up with a lady called Jiang ?from Sichuan Chandu. We build rapport quickly because of my past Sichuan earthquake disaster relief team involvement in PTDS. She was open to the gospel sharing and found it appealing in the context of sin in human race particularly the substandard school building getting 99% students and teachers killed with not time and chance for evacuation.

5) Then I was led to approach Obama from Tokyo now got a PR by business investment. He claimed he heard the gospel and got the tract here in Sunnybank but from an Aussie so possibly Gary or even Andrew. He ascertained he still has kept the tract at home, but he asked a few more for him to hand out to his friends. So, he was all amen to the gospel message.

6) Then I was led to Janice from KL Malaysian. She is non-Christian but did being invited to church. She heard the "Gospel" a few time, but she felt mist impressed this time about the logic why every one , good or bad guys included all need Jesus as our Savior. She also was more than happy to post for selfie with me as appreciation.

7) Last but not the least, A young guy Yu? from Shandong??doing a Master degree in UQ also showed complete openness for the Gospel, and appreciate the message as a wake up call for him as one of the endangered specie of Good Person.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday July 24th 2024 from 1300-1500

Today, only Johnny and Hung the most long time team mates served at Sunnybank. God kept electing first timers for us to reach and those we met at least once to come meeting us letting us to follow up on their status. God also led a big group of high school students led by a Korean teacher to gather at the bus stop waiting for the school bus. It gave us chance to hand out tracts to all of them with the silent consent by the teacher. God is always good and at work for the best effect.

1) I was led to approach a ME Muslim who is a dumb person. He was friendly and tried to let me know he cannot speak but I still told him he could just listen and then he wrote on the iPhone that he is a Muslim. I nevertheless still kept communicating with him till the bus arrived and he politely took a tract.

2) Next I caught up with a young mainlander Chen from Hanzhou?? who arrived only very lately. Again time was now long enough for full gospel and a tract was given to him.

3) Then a large group of high school student gathered at the bus stop. Johnny quickly started handing out tracts which were welcome by most students. I manage to share gospel directly with them. But the group was too dynamic and not all could remain focused to listen, but finally Mathew a Christian student listened humbly till the school bus came and promised to share the gospel to his school mates and too ka selfie with me.

4) Then connected with an elderly woman migrated to Australia from mainland China for 10 odd years. She behavio0r a bit impatient but still showed politeness to interact with me on the issue of her assurance of salvation which was not 100%. She showed no real joyous emotion despite I guided her to re-established 100% of assurance of salvation,

5) Then I cam across a Japanese from Tokyo who comes for work. Time just allowed for a rapport building friendly chat and a tract at the end.

6) Then I was led to approach an Indian girl who responded to all the questions positively with a yes and took a tract at the end.

7) Last but not the least, Aries, a Filipino lovely lady attending St Stephen Church in he city, though of Catholic background, but already has her assurance of salvation clarified. Today , just a follow up chat to ensure her spiritual status is in good order. She show appreciation for our ministry and voluntarily take selfie once again with me.
