Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Nov 12th, 2025 from 1030-1130

I was led to connect with two Chinese younger or middle age men from Taiwan and Mainland China respectively. Both of them have exposed to western or Christianity culture. The one from Taiwan actually was born in NZ as such he is readily a Christian and professes orthodox faith having 100% assurance of salvation. The one from Xu Zhou Jiang so has also lived in NZ and Australia for a long time. Thus he is opened and receptive to the gospel message. There were numerous shorter chats due to bus quick arriving schedule.

Had several long chats first with an Indian Christian whom I met few month ago. He was the first person making a token donation to support our ministry. Today we had more time to learn about his status. He was born of a Christen family. His son is a pastor of a Brisbane Indian Church by the name of Glory. He gave a perfect answer to my test of assurance of salvation, with 100% because of what Jesus had done for us.

Another pleasant chat was with a Filipino Catholic but also giving me a perfect answer on the test of her assurance of salvation. It was simple and concise 100% because of the cross that readily encompassed the facts of Jesus dying for us on the cross.

There were several chats with non-believers of which some showed no interest but for a couple who were willing to chat, they basically appeared open and receptive to the message.

It was a great morning of outreach with rain stopped and sun comes up and people's heart light and open for gospel. You can see the number of selfie photos meaning many interactive and receptive chat with either Orthodox Christian Lady Michelle for clarification of assurance of salvation; a Mainlander student from Nanchung of Jiangso China to hear the gospel for the first time, and most surprisingly with the retired Bank manger of HK Bank Mr. Chao who is also not yet a believer. Another divine appointment was to catch up with Joseph a Pharmacy student who witnessed with me at the bus stop that life can be ended anytime and was urged to pursue Salvation in Christ.

God is sovereign and ever presence whenever we are on mission with Him.

I was left doing solo again with my Gospel team mates all unavailable, so today I chose to cut it shorter for an hour or so as I have to leave earlier for another special visitation near by that must be done from 1145 finishing by 1230.

There were a few short and incomplete chats because of bus arriving quick. Apart from that, I was led to have a long chat with an ex-solider of Vietnam during the American Vietnam war in the 60th. He chose to migrate to Australia rather than USA as his daughter had come to live in Australia. He was of Buddhism background and has a strong good person mindset that it is good enough for a normal human being to pursue a peaceful life by acting as a good person. Nevertheless, he still was happy to keep the chat on for almost half an hour to find solace in having an interactive conversation which he has not had it for a long time after getting divorce at this old age.

Finally, all the committed team members of street outreach assembled as a full team to day at Sunnybank. It is a memorable moment as Johnny has to be away for over half a year but Edwin should be able to join Hung more frequently following his BST study coming to an end.

With the three of us, the rate of outreach approached 100% that there was no single person escapes our catching up especially Edwin who uses to be quick in action in term of asking for a Gospel chat.

God led us to approach people of all nations who in general are friendly, willing and approachable. Some are familiar persons whom we chatted before as such we could do follow up chat. Some are less serious persons who can only allow a short chat as such we quickly cover the core of the Gospel. But there were also many serious ones who interacted with sensible question.

It was a fruitful day for the Lord on this harvest field at the bus stop off Sunny Plaza shopping center.

Today I served solo again as Johnny had church pastoral ministry in the morning. By the grace of God and the guidance of the Spirit.

First I was led to chat with a working holiday guy from Taiwan. He heard the gospel sharing at the Gold Coast by other OPN 513 folk. He was impressed for our faithfulness to preach the gospel near and far. Then I was led to have divine appointment with an Islander from Fiji but already migrated to call Australia home. He is a Christian but lack of 100% assurance of salvation. He thanked me for the clarification plus a bonus of the right understanding of the meaning and origin of Fair Dinkum. Next was a couple of grandma and grand son from Dalian, They already migrated to Australia as such they appeared quite open and receptive to the gospel message. There were several short and or incomplete conversation. God is in charge anyway for His glory sake.

Good to have Johnny back joining me to so Sunnybank outreach. It is always better to serve as a team as taught by Jesus to send out disciple to go preaching the gospel 2 by 2. Johnny obviously got many chances, so did I as such I was not always free to take photo when he was in a conversation.

My out reach to day was terrific though still have a handful rejection of intentional neglecting. The climax was I chatted with a Pakistanian Muslim who has migrated to Australia as long as me for almost 30 years. But he just got devoiced and was in very sad mood. I think if he was still in Pakistan, the divorce may not happen as only man can divorce woman. I still shared about the love of God but hate of sin but did not choose to using Gospel as the avenue, but using a man to man hug to give him the Christlike love from a stranger. He was impressed and thanks for my empathy while getting the message that being a good person alone will not land us to heaven unless we are perfect. If not we all need Jesus to fill up the void that is created because of our sin. I was able to reach out to Malaysian English speaking lady, mainlanders Christian looking for church and non-believers, Filipino Catholic Christian family of three, Vietnamese Catholic, and a Cross culture dating Aussie boy and Taiwanese girl friend. They all were open and receptive to the gospel. May all glory be to God.

The outreach at Sunnybank tends to be rush as bus schedule is too frequent. By by the grace and divine election of God, I still could managed to have a few meaningful conversations with a Mainlander UQ student from Wuhan, a Chinese couples from Shanghai, and a Christian girl from Iraq. For non-believers, gospel was shared, but response from the two mainlander were in big contrast. The younger one I thought would be more open but actually appeared more fearful to have deeper conversation on faith, despite she has also heard of the global reaction to the martyr death of Charlie Kirk that may shed some light on her Gen Z heart to pursue truth and freedom. The couples on the contrary appeared very open and receptive even I shared my personal testimony, involving the reaction of me as well as general Hongkongers to the 1989 Tiananmen massacre.

The most interesting divine appointment was with an Iraq young lady that I first guessed as Türkiye which anyhow is not too far away guess as the near neighbor culture of Iraqi. She is just visiting Australia not coming for study. Conversation with her was open and friendly and it made me wonder how come she behave not a typical Muslim, then she stunted me by showing her cross on her neck chain. I was too over joy to switch asking her the diagnosis questions for Christian, but she failed to show she has clear assurance of salivation, which as an retroactive view, her cross is of catholic style. It was a pity her bus came at this time. I could not but keep marveling the great work of God to raise up Christians in those traditionally Islamic countries and big wave of revival is really happening in Iran, Iraq and Türkiye and almost four corners of the earth because of the Charlie Kirk saga.

Doing solo at Sunnybank with majority of gospel targets from Hong Kong and Mainland China too. All of them are non-believers. They are migrants for many years, so still got few chance to hear the gospel. In general, their feed back were open and receptive though still lacking the urgency because of comfortable life here in Australia. One is a retired chef, moving from Sunshine coast to Brisbane. Their top priority is to enjoy a retired life. I anyway also took the chance to invite them to the Peace and Hope Concert on this Saturday in the evening at the Hope community church. They all showed interest to attend, hopefully not out of politeness. I also had chance to approach local Aussie lady, who also appeared open and receptive to the gospel message and also promise to attend the Peace and Hope Concert. I ended up also handing out left over small poster of the concert at the local shop across the road of the Salvation Army Church venue where the Concert will be held.

It is a pity that after the street outreach time at Sunnybank is changed to 1030, it clashes every now and then with Johnny's own church's ministry on week day. Today, he again had to lead and speak at a home group.

My outreach time was shredded a bit as I also need to deal with a CCCOWE ministry trip arrangement for next year. Nevertheless, I was led to have a long chat with a elderly man from Somalia who has migrated to Australia since 2015. Yet his English is still very basic as such I had to intentionally speak in more simple English. At least I managed to make him aware of the fact that good deeds would not count in gaining salvation but trusting in Jesus alone to be our Savior. I also chatted with an Australian born Malaysian young man, he is non-religious but was open minded for gospel sharing. There were a few other short chats before I called it for the day.
