Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday September 5th, 2022 from 1300 – 1500

It was a day of great reunion with two of our long-missed team members, Gary and Amy. By the grace of the Lord, both are well and good for re-joining the street outreach. Another God's led new member Yi Ming Zhou also joined us through the introduction of Johnny. Yi Ming is a member of Sherwood Methodist and bible study group member of Johnny. They had a long discussion on theology and Yi Ming was finally moved to give it a go to join the street ministry. Johnny first introduced him to us and gave him so on the spot training than Yi Ming did his first outreach in His strength. Pray that he will keep coming because of his personal experience of the presence of God and have a full understanding of the meaning and scope of Great Commission.

Amy seemingly was having a good time with many opportunities of conversation. She even unknowingly had covered some gospel target that once rejected either me or Johnny. Gary as usual being very diligent and faithful to reach out to people passing by him.

As for me, I only had fewer conversation but a couple of them were very deep and long chat with prominent presence of the Holy Spirit to lead the gospel target to ponder deeper in the realms of God's glory through His Creation work that actually are scientifically sound. Recap anyway is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) I first approached a Chinese couple who claimed to be atheist 中國無神論 as such not interested to listen to the Gospel. I did not give up too easily and tried from a life issue angle to elaborate the question if being a good person alone will qualify us to Heaven. After a while, the man who talked still cold heartedly declined further chat.

2) The next one is a girl from Shanghai 上海who is a UQ student. She was initially a bit reluctant to listen but eventually, the Spirit softened her heart to listen the full gospel sharing and took a tract.

3) Then God made me a divine appointment with a local Aussie called Mitchell. He appeared as an Agnostic who viewed that God can be anything in the nature and human is just part of the nature and by conducting a good life , we can be part of that Godly existence in the world. Strictly speaking, Agnosticism is the view or belief that the existence of God, of the divine or the supernatural is unknown or unknowable and that "human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify either the belief that God exists or the belief that God does not exist. The English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley coined the word agnostic in 1869, and said "It simply means that a man shall not say he knows or believes that which he has no scientific grounds for professing to know or believe. God moved me to first share him the Gospel then use the 6 days creation to show to him there are solid scientific ground to support the 6 days creation theory. He was a very good listener and might have unintentionally miss the bus to listen on which led him see the reality of the presence of God' He left with a mindset changed that Christianity has no conflict with science and he will ponder deeper to pursuit God.

4) Then I had another good chat with a UQ student with surname as Li李 who is from China, He was very receptive to the gospel despite a typical atheist nonbeliever brought up in the Communist China. But he admitted no one is perfect and there is a consequence we have to bear facing judgement after death. So, the Spirit really has moved him a big step closer to salvation.

5) Then I caught up with a middle-aged man from Hubei Wuhan武漢,he appeared very polite and humble to listen to the gospel after I show empathy to people of Wuhan having suffered a lot from the Covid19 originated from his home town. Though the chat did not last long enough, but he willing took the tract to read on the message I shared with him.

6) Then I talked to two Mansfield High school girls by identifying with them as a father of one of their Chinese teachers. Natalie responded positively to my approach and quickly claimed that both of them are Christian. The other girl was a bit shy so only Natalie was doing the talking. Her answer to the diagnostic question 1 is perfect. she has 100 % assurance of salvation, but the 2nd question, she was utterly wrong claiming it was because she believed she has comprised with all the Christian teaching and practicing a good Christian life. It took me a while to clarify her wrong understanding. She any attends the Logan City Church.

7) Finally, I approached a Filipino Lady who is also a Christian but seemingly with very shallow understanding of the Bible. I went through the gospel message with her just in time before her bus arrived.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday September 28th, 2022 from 1300 – 1600

It was a normal day for outreach with just Johnny and Hung as all others are not available during school term break caring for their kids. Sunny bank was with more people flow than Toowong yesterday. There were mixed responses from people we met but at the end of the day, both of us had many chances to share the Gospel to people of all nations. Both Johnny and Hung had more chances to catch up with people from Mainland China with better successful rate. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung:

1) I first caught up with a young lady who is an ABC. Her parent is from Hunan Changshaé•·æ²™. She has been back to Changsha a couple of time. So, I could identify with her and earned her trust to listen to the gospel with good and positive result.

2) Then I approached a young man from Beijing 北京 to come for study having arrived in Brisbane for 2, 3 months. 剛開始來2、3月He claimed he is a member of the communist party yet he showed exceptional receptiveness to listen to the Gospel and took a tract. 黨員, 肯聴 & 拿單張

3) Seksayhj , a Cambodian who came to Australia at young age. He claimed he has a few Christian friends and even followed them to go to church a couple of times yet still just pursuing. I went through the full gospel with him and he appeared quite receptive to the gospel message with better and clear understanding.

4) I sat beside an Old Aussie who was not interested but I still shared the full gospel to him.

5) Then I approached three Africans but they claimed they cannot speak English.

6) Then I approached an Indonesian girl who simply avoided me by walking away to a far distance.

7) Then I shared with a lady from Mainland China who was willing to listen and took a tract afterwards. 中國女子.願意聽拿單張

8 ) Next I caught up with a Graffith student young man by the name of Jiang 姜from Nantung, Suzhou,南通蘇州半. He has come for half a year still adapting to the life in Australia. He was very talkative and willing to listen to the gospel.

9) Two young ladies from Beijing北京,and Shenzhen 深圳 respectively. They are students of UQ. Both were willing to listen to the gospel and we kept on chatting for a long while about the status of Christianity in China. 願聽,多聊

10) A approached a local Aussie lady who was friendly. Yet the bus came too quickly so she could only get a tract from me.

11) Finally, I caught up with a young lady from Shanghai who quickly identified herself as Christian. She once attended SIC. I tested on her assurance of salvation but found that she does not have full 100% assurance of salvation. She thanked for my clarification.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday September 21st, 2022 from 1300 – 1600

It was a gloomy afternoon, but not bad for street outreach. Since it is the beginning of school holiday as such both Gary and Amy were not able to join us with their kids to be cared for. As usual, Johnny and Hung teamed up to serve as a team. And the team work amongst us was very prominently used by God that we support and complement for each other’s. For instance, a young boy rejected the approach of Johnny, but the Spirit still moved me to have another go. Surprisingly, he was happy to have a good chat with me. Later on, there were other instances that God used both of us to deal with a group of people with better result. Recap below is the battle log of Hung.

1) A boy from Harbin, China 哈爾濱 bluntly rejected the approach of Johnny, but surprisingly accepted my 2nd for a chat. Actually, he earnestly told me he has read the tract that his Mum got from us. I tested if he really read the tract and he was able to tell a few examples how a good person may have committed some nitty gritty approach offence at young age. But he could not elaborate further the whole meaning and purpose of the tract so it gave me an opportunity to go over the full gospel with him which he found very interesting and sensible. I gave him an English tract and hopefully, God will use it to open further his heart for the making the last step of redemptive faith.

2) Then I was moved to approach a Malaysian馬 lady by the name of Lai. 黎She recognized my accent and volunteer to speak in Cantonese with me as such I immediately recognized also she is from KL. She also wasted no time to declare she is a Christian and passed my diagnostic test for assurance of salvation 清楚. We were thankful for this divine encounter and happily took a selfie.

3) Then I approached William from Quanzhou of Mainland China.中國人廣東 He was quite opened to chat and willingly took a tract when the bus came a bit too quick.

4) Next I was moved to catch up with another young man Wu from Wuxi , Jiang So. I was thrill to share about our early year tourist experience to Wuxi when China was not yet opened for tourism. 無錫聊天單張. My visit to his home town served an ice breaker to get us close for further chat on the gospel. Yet it was a pity the bus arrived so he took a tract to read. Pray that God will still use this as a seed sowing tool to prepare him for next divine encounter.

5) A group of youngsters with Aborigine blood messed around at the bus stop while I was still chatting with Wu, but Johnny daringly approached them to share the gospel and handed out tracts. They however were youngster too used to remain in an unsettled condition, moving around and talking nonsense to each other. I thus immediately joined hand with Johnny to take up a few of them that had already wander off from Johnny. I picked up a small boy with a thin statute, but he actually was a State trained boxer. I jokingly asked him if he is a MMA fighter as he kept plunging fist to the electrical lamp post. He corrected me that he is with the UBC league and have regular boxing tournament. I made use of this line to share with him that even you earn your way to become a state elite sportsman, but you cannot earn your way to heaven. Of course, my sharing cannot last long and he was readily disturbed to start another conversation with one of his peers. Anyhow, many of them had got the tracts and heard about the nutshell of the gospel and all we can do is to ask God for His follow up.

6) Then I approached two girls from Hong Kong as I overheard, they were speaking in Cantonese. Full Gospel was shared but no time for interaction so just also left them with tracts to read. 港女x2, 拿單張

7) Then I was approached by two Mormon preacher whom they called themself Elder Xia from California and Elder Phelan from Arizona. I wasted no time to challenge and ask them what they do they see of Jesus if he was just a good man as depicted by the name of Mormon as "Jesus Christ the Latter Day Saint" They fishily said Jesus is God, and not even a lesser God. Though they refused to use the term of Trinity, but upon my query, they agreed Jesus is not a lesser God but of equal power, glory and substance with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. At a point Johnny joined in to hold debate with them that they cannot answer. But on the other hands, they seemed to have been fully aligned with the evangelical teaching about Christ, at least giving me correct answers to my challenge and questions. Of course, We all are not naive enough to believe the Mormon have corrected themselves from any wrong teaching, at least if they really regard Jesus as an equal God, they should have given up their misleading name of the Mormon faith. The only think I was benefited from this conversation is their zeal to preach what they believe. It reminds me we have a very diligent opponent working harder than most of the nominal Christians to witness for Christ.

8 ) Lastly , I caught up with an old man Mr Lee李伯. Initially he declined to chat but later on expose he is a Catholic. 天主教 I got hold of this to share what are the major difference between the Catholic and evangelical Christian faith. He looked very humble and receptive not arguing any points I clarified with him.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday September 14th, 2022 from 1300 – 1600

Today still only Johnny and Hung were available with all others either was away or still sick to come. Since Johnny did not have to pick up wife after work, we decided to extend our outreach by one hour to four O' Clock. It was aimed to cover the East side of the Main Road to cater for school kids and parents after school hour. Even though we served for longer hours but time still passed quickly as by grace of God, we both got a couple of longer chats that made us forgot about time. The general situation of today was still of mixed result with both blunt rejection and willingness to chat. Gold intervention was also apparent that Johnny and Hung can cover and back up each other with good team work. Some one rejecting one of us but later, God would miraculously change their heart to go for a chat. In Short, the Street is still the best outreach mission field that you can easily feel the presence of God and how our lesser faith can be boosted by mean of the manifestation of His Mission Power. Recap is the Battle Log of Hung : -

1) Peter was a very willing listener despite it was interrupted by David Kong, one of my nonbelievers friend who took the trouble to show up to giving me the moral support. Peter obviously is not yet a believer but was very receptive to the Gospel and understand that his name bears significant biblical meaning as the rock of the church. He did show intention to pursuit for the free gift of eternal life.

2) Then I faced a set back after the first fruitful chat. A lady seemingly a Chinese but pretend she do not understand either Chinese or English. She also refused to take a tract.

3) Then I caught up with Mr Lau from Hong Koing. We only had a brief chat and he got the tract to read.

4) Arian, an ABC with father from HK and mother from SGP while he was born in Australia. His Cantonese is very good possibly because he was sent back to live and work in HKG for four years. As an Australian, he is very open minded and receptive to the gospel message showing seriousness to pursuit God and receive Jesus as Saviour. He was happy to take a selfie with me to let me remember his face for more chat in the future.

5) I then approached Two English speaking high school girls with one saying that she had got the tract before. But she was still happy to engage into conversation about the implication of the tract on her mindset. The understanding still needed refreshing so I went thru the gospel briefly with her till teh bus arrived.

6) Then I intercepted the conversation between on Cantonese speaking Hong Konger a一港人,and one Mandarin speaking Mainlander Chinese 一中人,I ended up sharing Gospel in English with them. The Hong Konger took an indifference attitude claiming he is an atheist as such the gospel is irreverent to him.開始玩世不恭.稱無神論,I pray for patience and positive attitude to emphasize that I was sharing a cross cultural concept rather than a pure religious message. As long as he admitted he and non one is perfect, and that imperfection attracted a consequence of punishment for eternal isolation that only Jesus can save, then the conclusion that every oen need Jesus can be established. After a skillful friendly chat, the Hong Konger did finally turned more inclusive rather than in an antagonistic manner.

7) Carman is an Aussie lady with no religious background though she claimed she was grown up in Christian school. Yet she still hold an open mind to listen to the gospel and promise to rethink if she really need to invite Jesus as her Saviour and Lord of Life.

8 ) Michael is a Half Maori and half Hungarian and his religious view is also a mixture of a bit of everything or half Christian and half the secular thoughts. I was surprised to find out later from Johnny that Michael initial rejected to chat with Johnny but let me sit side by side with him. Perhaps I first address his country of origin guessing right he is not just pure Maori but with other blood. It was a good long chat and finally, he cannot deny that every one need Jesus as long as we are not perfect.

9) Then I tried to catch up with a Chinese couple but the man pretend he does not speak Chinese while he was watching iPhone with app in Chinese. 中國人裝不懂,被識破,被動的聽. The Spirit moved me to disregard his trick and simply sat besides him to started sharing the full Gospel. He did not ask me to stop or left his seat, so I regarded this as the work of God to get him heard about the message.

10) Then we switched over to the East side of Main Road at 1500 hour. The first divine appointment was with Leow Yong Kwan and Yong Dan who were brothers from a Malaysian Chinese Christian family. Despite they are still young possibly just 12 to 14 years old, but they have the clearest understanding of the Gospel and had 100 % assurance of salvation. They attended Acacia Ridge Presbyterian Church.

11) The I stopped a McGregor big guy fro a brief chat but could not hold him for long as he needed to run for some personal matter.

12) Then I was rejected by a Chinese Grand Pa, waiting to pick up his grand children.

13) Next, I approached an Indian mum with a kid. She was not patient enough for a chat though the kids showed OK to listen. At the end, she asked for a tract to read by herself.

14) Then I had a longest chat of the day with a Singaporean old lady who was eating her quick lunch. She appeared hostile initially but melt down to have a sincere conversation on deeper thought of life. She initially tried to establish she is good enough and feel proud of herself as such she reckon she needs no faith adherence. But after a long chat, she finally came to her sense admitting no matter how good you are, as long as one is imperfect with sin, every one need Jesus. Her name is Lam Hoon.

15) The last for the day was with an Aussie lady who was unwilling to chat initially but still chatted on for a while till the bus came.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday September 7th, 2022 from 1300 – 1500

I rested for last week because if my day surgery but Johnny did come to do it on singleton. Today, still only the two of us teamed up as all others are either still sick or not available. It was a tough day for me with many rejections and majority of the outreach were fragmented. Johnny on the other hands seemed to have many long and meaningful chats. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung: -

1) Very arrogant and indifferent person simply gave me a cold face and walk away.

2) Vietnamese young man rather wanted to listen music than to chat. Just took a tract instead.

3) A couple by the surname of Pong龎 from Quanzhou rejected Johnny but when I heard him speaking Cantonese, I approached him in Cantonese and the Spirit softened his heart to chat. Interestingly, it was found out that we are the same age and same sign of Leo. I was moved to do a testimony by first asking him to guess my age and health status. He suggested I was about 40-42 but was totally shock to learn I am already 70 and even lost his jaw when he knew I am a bladder cancer patient. I just use my physical wellbeing to witness anyone who chose to lead a God centre and mission-oriented life will be blessed with good health defying the aging process and even the threat of caner, it will appear just like a thorn only in your body as a mark of the sufficient grace to carry me on to do His work. He was impressed as he looks much older than me despite, I am a couple of weeks older than him. Pray that this divine encounter and the tract will draw him nearer to know God and accept Jesus as his saviour.

4) Then I chatted with Mr Huang黃 from Shanghai上海. He was 86 years old and have come to Australia for 50 years. He lived 10 odd years in HKG so he speaks good Cantonese。His mindset is to lead a peaceful and comfortable life even though without any goal of life thus he reckons Australia is a country bet suit his living mentality. I challenged him to think broader and deeper that the peace he now enjoyed is no guarantee that can go busted any moment. But eternal life and blessing of God is an everlasting value for human. He talked the words to leave and pray for God's continuous follow up action.

5) An ABC Malaysian Chinese but English-speaking Student. Her bus came quick so just a brief contact.

6) Brendon felt amused when I approached him saying that I met you two weeks ago,(17/8) then three month ago(18/5) and even earlier about 6 months ago. So, this was the 4th encounter. Praise and thank God to keep using me to bump into him. He is still skeptical about the Bible, querying that there are so many different versions of Bible that he doesn’t know which is of orthodox correctness. I clarified with him that there is only one version of original writings, i.e., the OT was in Hebrew and the NT is majority in Greek. It was just a matter of different in translation. But of course, the human writing from those horsey and cult sects are not counted as Holy Bible document. Unfortunately, the bus came and pray for our next encounter.

7) An Aussie Jailer joke about his career that he is not a good person as he is in Jail but as a worker. So the tract are you a good person if decided by any Jailing record. He joked to be not qualified as Good Person. There is no time for any more follow up conversation as his bus came quickly.

8 ) Then I chatted with a lady lives near Beijing近北京 who however has not visited the great wall more than I did,however, her bus came too fast 車來太快,as such I could only give her a tract.僅發單張,9) Two Filipino ladies

10) The I approached a middle age man from the Mainland China who had heaved a big sigh. 大陸大嘆氣, I tried to chat with him to let out his unhappiness then follow on with the gospel. But again, I cannot beat the time schedule that his bus came also quickly.

11) Then I approached a man from Indonesia who claimed himself as a Catholic. 印尼天主英,靠行為 But his understanding of the gospel and salvation is far too deviated from biblical teaching. He still considers salvation is by work to do more good deeds. It was a pity the bud again came very quickly.

12) Then I approached a Vietnamese English-speaking lady. But she was not very keen yet still listen on to the gospel.

13) Chris from Kaohsiung 南部,he was not yet a believer but was brought up from Christian School教會學校,thus he felt no resistance to Christianity though his understanding of the gospel is also very shallow, if not incorrect. Still managed to share him the nutshell of the Gospel.

14) English speaking people with a brief chat only and finally took a tract,

15) Christopher a Brazilian Christian but has no assurance of salvation. I clarified his blind spot and he happily took a selfie with me.

16) Another Mainland China mature lady 中國大媽,who was not interested to listen to the Gospel but she also did not reject被動的聽,, so I still endeavoured to share her the full gospel while she is distracted to do something else on the iPhone. Eventually, our conversation was interrupted by and incoming phone call. I still managed to finish the sharing of Gospel after all those interferences.

17) Finally another ABC who was indifferent to the gospel and even rejected the tract at the end.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday August 24th, 2022 from 1300 – 1500

Today, all others still got sick or occupied in some other business so only Johnny and Hung were turning up for the regular Wednesday outreach at Sunnybank. Johnny was late for taking his car for service, so Hung started alone first for a short while and later joined by Johnny. Here in Sunnybank, the rejection rate, especially from Chinese is high. Nevertheless, we take it as a training for faithfulness and perseverance to hardship still hanging on by faith to fish for the next available gospel target. Hung's day started with grace to meet up with an old church member. Recap below is Hung's Battle Log.

1 ) Dou Leeyun was an old church member who was impressed by the street ministry and conveyed her blessing to Hung. Pray that it will be a witness to her moving her to make the step of faith to do likewise in her own day to day life.

2) Sheila was an Australia born in Indian, who seemingly has no religious background. She reacted positively to the gospel shared with her.

3) A Woman from Mainland China was welcoming for a causal chat but once hearing the gospel, she turned on a cold face and show great annoyance to hear anything about the Gospel. 中國婦人,不奈煩,不願聽.

4) I caught up with Mr Chu 朱,from Vietnam 越南華僑 who appeared very sociable and talkative. He talked about the people trafficking gangster business exposed in Cambodia.近日柬甫寨,I used this to illustrate this is a biblical doctrinal statement about human nature that without God, no human can be immune to sinning 人性敗壞極。I then led him into the question if we are good enough for heaven? It was a pity the bus came at this time, but God will certainly make him aware of his own imperfection that only Jesus can save and heal us.

5) An ABC girl bluntly rejected first johnny and me. So, we had to let go.

6) Then I approached a Filipino lady who was also welcoming for a chat. But after sharing the nutshell of the gospel, she received call from friend to meet in Sunnybank so she had to go. But she actively asked for a tract to read afterwards.

7) Then I caught up with a Chinese from Inner Magnolia內蒙古. We chatted for a short while but he was soon interrupted by a phone call.

8 ) Ruth is a young Aussie lady with brain damage disability on the wheel chair. I was moved to approach her and had a very good chat. She was very encouraged by the gospel message and was very excited about the salivation that not only will set us free from the bondage of sin, but will allow God to transform us back to perfection from both physical and spiritual aspects. Christians will be given back a perfect healthy body when Jesus comes for the 2nd time. That gives Ruth lasting hope to withstand the inconvenience brought by her disability.

9 ) Another Aussie lady who was very friendly to chat and appeared positive to the gospel message.

10) Finally I caught up with Mike whom Johnny had met and chatted before. He is from Philippine and is a church going Christian attending Citipointe Church. He passed the test o assurance of salvation 100% and showed his support and encouragement for us doing the street Outreach. Pray that he will be inspired to do likewise in his day-to-day life.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday August 17th, 2022 from 1300 – 1500

Today Gary and Amy both could not come due to sickness of self and family members. But Joe was able to re-join us after his Covid-19 infection was over. It was a pity I just forgot the team photo after I did the opening prayer. It was a normal day of outreach with mixed results. But Joe was doing very well having many, if not all fruitful and meaningful conversations. As for me, the Spirit led me to meet with many Chinese mainlanders which I used to avoid as their attitude in majority is very resistant. But today, I observed the territorial spirit of those mainlanders has changed a little bit with many more open and interested conversation. So, I need to adjust my prejudice to give them more chance to listen to the gospel. Recap below is my Battle Log: -

1) A lady by the name Lai賴 from Quanzhou廣州, appeared very open and receptive to the gospel福音. It was rare that I started with a very long first chat. The Spirit even moved me to share further on my personal testimony 見證and hopeful she will be drawn to pursue God.

2) Brenden an ABC he said we met two months ago. His Dad is from Hkg and mum from Quanzhou. He was not

very keen to share his thought after reading the tract but still friendly to keep chatting till the bus arrived.

3) A young man just arrived from Shanghai to study at UQ上海男孩剛來. He was OK to chat but the bus came a bit too quick but he still willingly took a tract.

4) A Very arrogant young lady still managed to share the core of the Gospel.

5) Then the Spirit led me to approach Hu胡from mainland China大陸,he claimed to be an Atheist無神論but still willing to listen ad he was convinced that no one can prove God does not exist. 但願聽 I trust the sharing of Gospel has changed his attitude about Gid and salvations bit.

6) A Shanghainese couple 上海夫婦,the wife was strong in attitude and self-righteous 妻強勢,自義 despite my gospel message clearly shared that being a good person alone will not address the issue of sin, she seemed hearing but not listening and still stressed that being a good person would be fine.聽而不見,行善即可,不聽福音,老頑固, she did not just want me to stop and also forbidden here husband to take a tract from me.

7) Another female mainlander from China 中女,appearing completely cold 冷 and indifferent to the gospel message.

8 ) Yet another mainlander Chinese from Quanzhou中男廣州,he listened but did not show any reaction and made no response 聽不會應. At the end he also declined the tract.

9) A Filipino was willing to listen but her bus came to cut short the conversation.

10) Yet another mainlander Woman中女,she listened attentively耐心聽,but the message did not move her a bit.但不為所動

11) Finally, I caught up with Li 李,from 北京,via Shanghai 經上海來,He was very open to listen and have very sensible reaction and interaction. 願聴
