Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday May 7th, 2025 from 1030-1200

Today was the 2nd day I have to serve solo at Sunnybank while my regular Gospel Outreach team mate is away. More over, I will also have to take a break next week as I also will be away for First Nations Mission Trip to Coober Pedy in SA together with the Chinese South Australia Christian Church ministered and led by Rev Robert Li.

Today outreach was good with long enough chats for full gospel as recap below the four most stand out ones: -

1) First was with a lady by the name Ng吳 migrated to Australia for 10 years. She is non-religious, but because of our Hongkonger tie, she was open and patient enough to let me share her the full gospel.

2) Next was an Eyes Optometrist 眼科student in her 4th year from Korea> She was also non-religious but appeared open and receptive to the gospel.

3) Then it was Jack migrated from Brazil at young age to Australia. He received Christ in 1982 in Perth , WA and once was a fervent Christian like what I am doing. But because of bad witnesses of many Church members, he flatted up and now claimed taking a long break from any church activities. It served as a reminder for me or any Christians that Spiritual attack can subtly ruin your faith and kidnap you from God, especially if your faith foundation is not good.

4) Daisy is ABC with Mum from Mainland China and Dad also an ABC. She is non-religious and is now a 2nd year Science Uni student. She was exceptionally open and receptive with a soft heart for the gospel and thanks for the good news that she may ponder to pursue in His time.

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 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.

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 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: -

1) Daly is a mixed with Chinese Mum and Vietnamese Dad and an UQ student. He is a Christian by family tradition as such he is unclear about redemption by grace through faith and lacking assurance of salvation. But after clarification he showed appreciation by taking a selfie with me.

2) Then had conversations consecutively with Mainlander Chinese who are either migrants and students. They all appeared hesitant to chat but ended up still receptive to the gospel sharing.

Today I started first with Johnny joining me a bit later. Praised and thanked God that he has recovered from his coughing. Both had some long conversation and towards the end, God led two Muslim people to have a long chat with us hopefully with some impactful changes to their mind set about salvation by grace through face but not by works.

1) Mr Qiang強from Shanghai上海, claimed we chatted with him many times before多次. But his understanding again has faded as such I simply shared once again the full gospel message with him until his wife came back to reunited with him for the bus.

2) Next was a lady from Hangzhou杭州 coming to Australia to visit her daughter staying to live in Australia after her Uni study. Good rapport was built and full gospel was shared.

3) Then I was led to chat with an Indian girl who is a medical student of UQ doing practicum at Sunnybank Private Hospital. Only nutshell of gospel was shared.

4) Next was a Japanese young man from Osaka, and was surprised that I could greet him in Japanese. Time was also not enough for a full gospel but a tract was handed to him.

5) Mira a UQ student from Taiwan. She is non religious but still appeared very open and receptive to the gospel .

6) Zinta a Pakistan girl coming here to do high school study. She seems to be a fair dinkum Muslim very familiar with Koran. Yet she is very open to the sharing of the full gospel even though her mind has been brainwashed to stick to the Islamic faith. All I tried to do is to explain who Jesus is and what has he done for the human kind.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday March 19th, 2025 from 1130-1230

I started earlier to day as it seems that I am the only one to do outreach today while other team mated are still not available. The results was still considered good, with two stand out divine encounters apart from some other shorter conversation because of bus arrival interruption.

First, I was led to approach an elderly man from PNG who claimed to be a Christian but ended up finding out a Mormon. The Spirit led me to identify with him as we both were a cancer patient but healed by God through intensive prayers. All I could do is to emphasize Jesus as our Savior who is the triune God on mission to restore the fallen human race and to bring glory back to God.

Next, I was led to approach Rolene, a local Anglican Aussie who had fond memory of Hong Kong connection through trade and tourism. Good rapport was built and he passed the check of assurance of salvation having 100% certainty because of his faith in Christ.

Brisbane has basically returned normal from the aftermath of Cyclone Alfred. Ann and Hung were both back to Sunnybank at the normal time. The work of thew Holy Spirit was vividly apparent there as such most people we approached, Christians and non-believers inclusive, were all very open, friendly and receptive to the message shared. Recap are the highlight of some of the conversation in those divine encounters.

1) I was ;ed to approach Ken from Jiangsu, Suzhou江蘇蘇州. He is a UQ student waiting for his two classmates, rapport was built nicely through sharing first my China travelling experience including Suzhou. It provide a smooth leading to sharing of Gospel of which Ken appeared open and receptive.

2) Next was Queenie a Catholic Christian from Filipine. She comes for college study in English,, Through the assurance test, she was diagnosed to have only 20% of assurance of salvation but has been joyfully clarified.

3) Same applied to Junior an UQ student a Tonga origin guy but from New Zealand and now also called Australian home. He got 95% of assurance of salvation which of course is not right. Again he felt blessings to have it clarified and now he embrace 100% assurance of salvation purely because of Jesus' redemptive work.

4) Then attempt was made to approach an Indian lady with half success as she was in a hurry for meeting a friend else where but still nutshell of the gospel with a tract was given out.

5) Another highlight was with a Japanese lady Semi from Tokyo coming to Australia as a working holiday after she worked for 4 year as a teacher in Japan. She chose to come back to refresh her memory as an exchange student of an Australian State High School. Thus her English and my Japanese are both good enough for gospel sharing.

Because of the imminent direct hit on Brisbane by the typhoon Alfred, I decided to do the street outreach earlier in the morning and let other team members who live farther away to take a rest. The wind was stronger but still not threatening yet. However the people flow was significantly less. I had to wait at the bus stop empty without persons for many long period. Nevertheless, I still managed to have several quality chat as recap below.

1) Perlman is a migrant from India. He received Christ here in Australia. So I switched to test his assurance of salvation which is 100% but the reason for it is not absolutely clear as such I need to clarify by giving him a recap of the gospel which he humbly accepted with appreciation.

2) Next was Wang from Guangzhou, China but his Cantonese is not fluent. He was taking a rest at the bus stop so it gave me plenty of time to share him the full Gospel. He appeared open and receptive to the gospel possibly also because there was no other Chinese around when we chatted.

3) Then I approached An UQ student Ma from Shandong doing study on Economics like myself. It quickly helped building rapport and receptiveness of gospel till his bus arrived.
