Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wed Oct 14, 2020 from 1300 to 1500

Praise God that he withheld wind and rain for us to have a dried period of street evangelism ministry at Sunny Bank, despite there was rain all the way when I drove there. We also had Andrew rejoining us today making a team of four including Johnny, Col, Andrew and Hung. God used us to display good team work to supplement each others . It was particularly obvious between Johnny and me. At the end God used us to help out an overseas visiting Chinese lady to find info and the way to have the Covid-19 test enabling her to board the plane departing Oct 5. I actually already shared the gospel to her last week when she was in great worry of losing Wechat for external communication. I gave her words of comfort and directed her to the greater need of salvation. God used someone to help her restored the faulty Wechat account. And led her to meet Johnny then me to help her to find and book Covid-19 testing to enable her to board her flight back to China on Nob 5. During the process, God used me to impressed and reinforced again the imperative need for salvation by every one. I trust she was moved this time by both the message and the action love exhibited by the som many Christians God sent to help her out. Recap below are my others divine appointments today.

1) Madam Pang 彭 was born in China but raised in HKG. Lived in Taiwan then migrated to NZ and finally came her. She noticed my HKG accent so volunteer to speak in Cantonese with me. With the common home town, she was very talkative. I manged to drag our conversation back to Gospel and Salvation. Curiously despite of her mixed Christian 基 and Catholic 天 background, she has 100 % assurance of salvation but for a vague reason including the elements of good works. So it was good that I could guide her to understand her 100% assurance of salvation was built on Jesus and Him alone.有確據但不十分清楚, but it was a bit fishy she declined to take a tract. , 定意不拿單張

2) William and Ifun Two students , one a local Aussie another a Malaysia school boy. Both understood but no move to make decisive action to receive Christ immediately.

3) Johnny talked to a BCAC new Christian by the sure name 蘇 who is yet to be baptized. He referred her to me as she is Cantonese speaking.

4) Another anonymous target took the tract , have a chat but decline to leave any name.不願告名

5) Madam Chai 柴,from Heibei 河北. Story as shared above.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday October 7, 2020 from 1300 - 1500

We started with only two of us Johnny and Hung, but Col and Allen later joined us to become a team of four. As usual, we stationed at the two sides of the pedestrian foot bridge. Some form of team work did exist under the sovereign control of God. For instance, some one got a tract from one side, showed to us on the opposite side aiming to gain a waiver but often time, God used this a a means for us to stop them to explain on the tract that collected.

Today, God let me encounter many Christians who claimed to have 100% of assurance of salvation but upon checking the reason, it was all wrong basing 100% on the good deeds they have done. This is an alarming sign that many Christian Churches have not provided sufficient biblical teaching to their sheep.

As usual, Johnny and I had near non-stop chances of sharing. I registered 10 divine appointments as recap below: -

1) Kline a local Aussie was in a great hurry but he was polite and kind enough to stop for a chat. I hastily shared with him the nutshell of the Gospel. He showed positive and receptive reaction and was moved to take a serious thought on it though he really had to go. I later crossed shoulder with him while I was doing walking preaching with another woman, he anyway gave me a big grin to show his appreciation.

2) I mistook a Korean as Chinese but found out in time to exchange for an English tract. He was really rushing for some personal matter. But it paved the readiness for me to be more sensitive to differentiate race upon my subsequent approach with Korean really turning up.

3) Ms Sze 斯 a very gentle young fair lady from Taiwan 台 in quite formal dressing as if she was up for some businesses function. But she stopped without hesitation to spend more than 20 minutes to listen to my gospel sharing and end up feeling overwhelmingly drawn by the message 很投入 that she has heard many times before. But this time it hit her heart and really made her feel convinced to accept Jesus. Praise the Lord.

4) An old lay Mrs Dong董 from Heibei 河北 China looked very worrisome and even lost her sense momentarily stopped and standing in front of me. I asked if she needed help than she came back to her sense and started chatting with me. When I wanted to share gospel with her then she lamented that she has no mood to

listen as her wechat account was locked up because of forgetting her password as such she cannot communicate with her family in china.心煩 I offered to walk her across the bridge and shared with her that losing wechat accessibility is a bad experience but im comparison to losing our place in eternity suffering in hell would be a more serious issues.步行聆聽. Her mood changed after hearing the good news. The previous Aussie man greeted me with a big smile also amazed her that we can have joy to greet a stranger. So she ended up feeling more relieved and promised to ponder on Jesus's salvation.

5) Then I caught up with two Korean Christian young ladies called Mary and Emily. They disclosed they are Christian as soon as I wanted to share the gospel. Their answered for the first diagnosis question if they have assurance of salvation was 100%, which is spot on. But it was shocking to find out that that 100 % assurance is based on their good deeds. They appeared a bit nervous and wanted to leave with the excuse of hurrying for an appointment. I nevertheless volunteered to walk them for 500 meter to reach the other set of traffic light and tried my best to clarify their mis conception.

6) Rammy , a Taiwan Buddhist lady. She was polite but thought claiming a Buddhist will stop me from talking to her. She was wrong, I had endless inspiration to share with her which eventually convinced her that Christianity is the only way for real salvation and forgiveness of sin. Trying to reach self perfection like what Buddhism uphold is futile and she promised to ponder deeper on what I shared with her.

7) Matt , another local Aussie Christian who again claimed to have 100% of assurance of salvation yet it was all based on inherited identity from Christian family, good service in the church but nothing accredited to the redemptive grace of Jesus. He showed sign of confusion but was humble enough to take in my advice and promise to reflected on his relationship with Jesus Christ.

8) A couples of elderly husband and wife from China Canton walked toward me. The wife walked 10 feet ahead getting passed me and ignored the tract, but her husband took the tract. I shared with him and our conversation got brighten up when we found Cantonese is our common language. With this edge, he showed interest to hear me to share the nutshell of the gospel that I finished just in time before the bus came. 廣東老人夫婦,夫接聽

9) Finally Eason turned up and willing to stop for a long chat. His knowledge of thr Bible and understanding of the doctrine of salvation is good as he is member of the Grace Bible Christian Church. He is clear about salvation by grace through faith in Christ and needed to be perfect through God's divine life transformation work through the Spirit. But his assurance of salvation was tainted by his uncertainty if he is a born again one seemingly judging by the Baptism by the Spirit. I shared with him my orthodox thought and emphasized that speaking in tone is never a condition of salvation. He finally felt enlightened to border no more about the sol called born again by the fire of the Spirit. He displayed a very happy face for the grace of God while taking a selfie with me .

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday Sep 30 1300 - 1500

Hurray , God called a big team to serve at Sunnybank today. We have the Aussie team of three Col, Allen and Gary stationed at the West side of the Pedestrian foot bridge , then the Chinese team of four , namely Johnny Ryan, Bi Yan and Hung stationed at the East side near SunnyPark. God orchestrated good team work between the two team. Many people had been moved to stop and chat with both team when the went across the bridge. Especially for Chinese whose English is not very good. They can get a Chinese version of Gospel to reinforce what they heard for the English team. Normally mainland Chinese will choose to avoid the Chinese team but more receptive to chat with the Aussie team. Once got contacted, then their unwillingness or resistance will be reduced as such many of them were willing to stop for the 2nd time to have a chat with us in Chinese to reinforce their understanding. Pastor Biyan joined us mid way but appeared very enthusiastic and bold in stopping people fo a chat. Pray that she will be moved and called by the Spirit to become a regular team member for Sunnybank. Ryan joined the team several time before. He may join us before he got a job. May God will be done through our good team work at Sunnybank.

Since I had to leave a bit earlier for a medical appointment. I comparatively had less conversations but three quire long one.

1) Alyson Juana are two young high school students of Grade 12 at a Christian school. When approached they showed that they have head knowledge about Jesus and the Bible and claimed that they

are Christians. But they failed the salvation assurance test having only 70% of certainty to go to heaven. When asked while God let them into His heaven, they could answer correctly that it was all because of Jesus. Then I asked them is there any other factor/reason that they can be allow to enter heaven. They answered no. Then I asked if Jesus is the only reason you are granted eternal Life into heaven, how come they are only 70% certain, not 100% sure? Then they both came to understand that they were wrong and should have professed 100% assurance of salvation. The reason they thought they are still not good enough is the lack of understanding that we have yet to grow and be transformed back to perfection by the work of teh Holy Spirit helping us to bear fruit if the Spirit. But in the interim, we will bound to be not perfect and will fail sometime the temptation of Satan. However, as long as we are all bought back by Christ to reconcile with God, God will guarantee to make us perfect through the journey of Sanctification. The two youngsters, thanked me and left with great joy in their heart.

2) Then Yuki from Mainland China past by waiving the tract she collected from Col and Allen in her hand signaling me that she did not need another chat. But I asked the simple diagnosis questions to prove that she is not yet clear enough about the gospel. I offered to walk her across the bridge and cleared up some misunderstanding and made sure she understood how to get 100% assurance of salvation by just accepting Jesus as her saviour and her Lord of life before we parted our way at the Shopping centre.

3) The third one was 韓初 who had been contacted by Allen. Again he is still not so clear about the gospel so I repeated the same thing I just gone through with Yuki and Han promised he will take it very seriously to response to the call for repentant and salvation.

Today both Johnny and Gary had numerous chance to have a chat. Ryan was still on his learning curve while Bi Yan already boldly venture into gospel chat with mainly Chinese people which was readily a very good start.

God is good and almighty in term of execution of His Redemption Project and Kingdom Project through the undeserved vessels like us all.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday Sept 23, 2020 from 1300 to 1500

Today only Johnny and I met to serve at Sunnybank. It was a very warm day as if it was like early Summer already. It was also the beginning of school holiday as such there was no student around. Johnny opined there should be more people coming out but it turned out a comparatively quiet day with half the carpark empty. Despite smaller flow of crowd, we still got many chances to share the Gospel to non-believers as well as Christians who in majority do not have assurance of salvation that deadly need clarification. We also had a lot of chat on theology abd biblical doctrine during the gap of street evangelism.

I recap below a few of my major divine appointments as follows: -

1) A Chinese lady took the tract and was willing to talk but it was too late as the bus was coming. I spent really only 30 seconds to share the nutshell of Gospel to her hoping she will read the tract at home.

2) Rory a local Aussie got past Johnny but I was moved to stop him for a chat which amazingly he changed his mind to stop. He is a strongly built big guy who really looks like a super hero upholding righteousness as such when asked if he knows he can go to heaven by being a good person, he proudly claimed yes as he deemed he has manged to do a lot of good thing. When I corrected his misunderstanding by sharing the gospel, emphasizing that unless he has no sin, he still should need Jesus as his savior to regain the lost heavenly citizenship, he then declared he knows all about this as he is a Christian. Then I realized he actually is only a nominal Christian that feels good about his own goodness instead of the redemptive grace fo Christ. Let's pray for God's intervention to turn him around to really trust in Christ and Christ alone for salvation.

3) A young lady from China Gloria passed by in great hurry, but she still willing took a tract and let me walk her across the foot bridge to listen to the gospel. I timed later that it took me 2 min 40 seconds to cross the bridge but was still good enough for me to compete sharing the nutshell of the Gospel. At the end, Gloria agreed the gospel is logical and sensible and showed willingness to accept Jesus as her saviour.

4) Tom a young man from Thailand who appeared very friendly and willing to listen to the gospel. Yet I only have 1.5 minutes to do so as the bus was coming and was in our sight. In both cases, God only let me have very short time frame but I believed His work and plan for Glory and Tom will be done.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday Sept 16, 2020 from 1300 -1500

It was a day of grace that I received heavenly rewards by meeting with many ex-Gospel conversation targets who recognized me and showed their appreciation and encouragement.

As usual , we worked as a team with the regular team mates Johnny and Gary. God made us work seamlessly supplementing each other to get those initial rejective people turning to receptive on our 2nd approach by another team mates. We all had almost non-stop opportunities to chat. Recap below was my personal battle log of 12 persons/groups: -

1) A Chinese young girl who claimed to be non religious not willing to enter into a conversation, but God still opened her a bit to let me just touch base on the Gospel before the bus came.

2) After seeing that Girl off, I noticed a lady in mask looked at me with a grin smile. Actually she took initiative to greet me and said we met before. With so many people met every week, I asked if it was last week or last month. She laughingly said it was two years ago in 2018 and prompted me that we had a long chat on matter about mission. Then my vague memory came back that it was Moon Suk a Korean Christian Girl who are curious in mission work and admire our persistence to do street evangelism every week. She said she actually had been watching out during the past two years and noticed we are the rare Asians amongst the local Westerners to preach Gospel to people of all nations on the street competing with the Mormon who are active here. She said she is a member of the Korea Presbyterian Church in Sunnybank. We parted with blessing for each other to continuously serving our Lord as led by Him. (Johnny later told me, Moon Suk declined to take tract and did not stop. So he was a bit curious how come she was willing to talk to me)

3) An elderly man from Sichuan called Luo Tsang. 老曾四川信徒 He was not keen to take tract or chat but when I noticed his accent of Sichuan, and associated with him by my 3.5 year Earth quake relief work from 2008 to 2011, he then opened up to admit he is a Christian. It was a pity there was not enough time for me to diagnosis on his assurance of salvation, which I can only give him the Benefit of the doubt. and pray that he would not remain stagnant on his spiritual growth.

4) Ellen and another HKG girl both were not very keen initially but showed more interest when we found that we are from Hongkong. They have no religious belief. They came here as working holiday and had done hard yard at Bundaberg which gave me another affiliation with them. I shared the gospel to them in brief before the bus arrived. Hope the message and the tract will do the job.

5) David Wu, an ex-GCCCC now a SIC member, also took initiative to greet me. I was at a loss to recall who he is. Finally I came to the knowledge that he was the Kairos graduate at GCCCC in 2015 and had removed up to Brisbane in 2017 to buy up the Physiotherapy clinic from Alice Poon. Pray that his sense of Bottom Line blessing to reach out to people of other nations will be carried out through his work practice at Time Square.

6) Sebastian from Arlee beach near Townsville but moved to Brisbane 7 years ago. He answered my diagnosis question correctly to prove that he is a fair dinkum Christian. I encouraged him to do likewise to share the gospel to more people around.

7) Victoria a mum with two kids who is local Aussie but with Italian and British parents. So she is adaptative to cross cultural relationship building. She is non- religious, but found the gospel sensible and logical to take heed of the salvation offered by Jesus. I encourage her to read the tract and make the decision as guided by the Spirit first so that she can help her two children to get saved as well.

8) A young lady from Canton China who was on a rush to work.鍾廣州來很久沒信仰感謝 She allowed me to walk across the Pedestrian foot bridge with her so as to share the gospel in this short time gap. She thanked me at the end and promised to give a heavy thought of the salvation of Jesus.

9) An Indian boy was happy to listen to the Gospel but was cut short by the arrival of the bus. Pray that he will read the tract and we can meet in future.

10) Teresa a Taiwanese student coming here to study but uses her spare time to do bulk purpose for shipping back to Taiwan. I met here last week. She was first approached by Johnny, but quickly we recognized each other and continued on chatting along. She showed great interest in Gospel and asked me to have her more tracts to hand out to her friend. She bided me good bye and looking forwards to meeting me same time next week.

11) Two Japanese couples took the tract but did not stop to chat

12) A Vietnamese girl I chatted last week or so stopped to greet. Just had a few words to encourage her to keep pursuing for eternal life.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday September 9, 2020 from 1300 to 1500.

Today was a sunny day fine for street evangelism, though there were only the two of us , Johnny and Hung working as a team. It proved well later that God made best use of our team work to stop some initial reluctant passers by to the first approach by Johnny but somehow changed their mind to stop by my 2nd approach. It is time and again the witnesses of how God works miraculously amongst us to reach out and touch people as chosen by God himself. We are always a vessel emptied for the service of God as He deems fit. Both of us had almost non-stop consecutive divine appointment to chat. Johnny comparatively had more longer conversation. I recorded below were the 9 divine appointments of mixed results but still serving the purpose of God beyond our full comprehension: -

1) Nadia a Mexican Catholic young girl coming here for one year English learning but has been detained here because of Covid-19. She initially did not want to stop as she is going to meet someone. But I asked for permission to shared the nutshell of Gospel by walking her across the pedestrian bridge. Finally she was moved to stayed for a much longer time allowing me to first shared the basic gospel message then tackling all doctrinal question resulted from her Catholic background. At the ned, she took a selfie with me as a gesture of her great appreciation for my explanation and clarification to her questions. I was able to identify with her because my father was born in Mexico.

2) Rejected to stop by a Chinese girl but God still moved her to take my tract which she initially rejected to take it from Johnny.

3) Zaire is a Filipino Catholic girl. She only has 90 % assurance of salvation as she deems not yet good enough to go to heaven. This is the common misunderstanding by most of the Catholic Christian. She finally got it right after being asked checking questions.

4) A Muslim man excused he was in a rush but still stopped by my questions to have a brief chat. I quickly touched base on the nutshell of gospel on sin and Jesus salvation. Pray that this will serve well for continuous work of God on his life.

5) An Indian lady took the tract but did not want to chat. I could only let go and trust that the tract will do the work of passing over to her the word of God.

6) Daniel and Victoria a pair of Vietnamese boy and girl friend with a cross ear ring but do not know the meaning of the cross. After clarification and listening the full Gospel, they agreed it is logical that we all need Jesus. I use the triangular relationship of marriage with God as the head that in future when they are married, their marriage would become much closer when they individually get a deepen relationship with God towards complete oneness in Christ.

7) Fiona a nonbeliever from Shandong who again claimed to be in a hurry, but she let me walk with her across the bridge to hear the gospel.

8) Mr Li is an old Singaporean of Cantonese speaking background. He initially responded rudely to Johnny's question if he knew where would he go after death. He felt challenged and offended as such he replied rudely that as a person without any religion, he is OK to go to hell. Somehow, God made him feel bad for his rudeness thus he voluntarily stopped to chat with me instead to explain his position against Christianity. He himself is considered a Buddhism follower which he understands well that Buddhism is not a religion but way of life towards self perfection. I gave enough room for him to speak and express his skeptics against Christianity so that I earn in exchange the chance to share the gospel as well as addressing all his questions against God and Christianity. He eventually had to leave after 15-20 minutes chat with his wife left already for a clinic appointment.

9) A Christian by the name of Christian of PNG/Irish mixed blood thought he knows well about the Bible and was proud of his spirituality having seen many vision from God as such he rejected Johnny outright not bother to stop and share. But some how, God moved me to approach him immediately and somehow he stopped to chat. Our conversation last almost over half and hour. He claimed to have faith in Jesus but when asked if he has full assurance of salvation. He answer 90 % but later, I found out that he actually thought his 90% certainty was basing on his action love deeds. God guided me to turn around his twisted understanding of Jesus redemptive grace by not ridiculing him but showing him the right version of real salvation by grace through faith. I complemented his effort of pursuing for deeper spirituality experience in God, but in the mean time correcting his thought that any Charismatic experience has nothing to do with salvation but only serve to boost his love for God. My empathy with his charismatic background earned me a much longer time to share the gospel as long as I wished. Actually I was the one to close the conversation after all queries were clarified and needed advice (warning) were given. May God continuously guide this man by the name Christian to really become a world Christian.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday September 2, 2020 from 1300 -1500

After one month of rest, we have resumed serving on the street here at Sunnybank. Even though the Covic-19 community outbreak has not yet been completely over, general reaction of people is still quite receptive as such there were many divine appointments arranged by God for us to share the Gospel.

The team started with just Johnny and me, but God led Gary to join us soon after we did our opening prayer. Then David Loi also joined us at around 2pm. He partnered with Johnny as a learning curve handing out tract. Gary was very active today having many conversation that I had lost count. Seemingly God is bringing up Gary to become more upfront in approaching people for a chat. I had got 11 opportunities of outreach.

1) Annie a school girl possibly of Korean descendent, just heard the nutshell of gospel before the bus arrived though she appeared very appreciative and receptive.

2) A Cantonese speaking Old woman from China was reluctant to take the tract not to mention for a chat. But our common dialect helped to break the ice and I ended up sharing the full Gospel with her and she promised to read the tract to revise on what I shared with her.

3) May a Filipino Catholic Mum with her son Max. She also was reluctant to chat thinking that she is all right as a Catholic Christian, but God changed her mind to listen to my sharing of the full Gospel and realized her faith was not pure not having yet an absolute faith in Christ alone for genuine salvation. There was not enough time to elaborate so I had to let go to leave God to continue His work.

4) A Korean lady Fay with tattoo was welcoming for me to have a chat before the bus came, I could basically touched base on the Gospel apart from just giving her the tract and prayerfully God will lead her to reach a right decision later on.

5) Another Filipino mother and daughter were waiting for the bus. I was able to share with the Mum who ended up admitting she is a Catholic Christian. As usual, she does not have right concept of salvation which I rushed to explained to here before the bus came.

6) Alvin a young Malaysian Christian talked with Col before . I use diagnosis questions to make sure he has teh correct understanding of Gospel as well as assurance of salvation.

7) Nina a Vietnamese school girl who were receptive to the gospel. I was able to share the full gospel to her before her mum arrive to pick her up.

8) A Chinese girl rejected Johnny but took the tract from me

9) Teresa a Taiwanese girl who has no religious belief but her parents are claimed to be Buddhist. Yet she also appeared very receptive to the Gospel.

10) A Korean lady asking for direction. She was in a great hurry so I could not but let go. But trust that the action love will be used by God to lead her to Christ one day.

11) A Muslim lady who could not speak any English but I still manged to show her the love of Jesus and that she needs Jesus.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday July 22, 2020 from 1300-1500

Praise and thanks God for calling Gary to join Johnny and Hung this afternoon at Sunnybank to witness for Christ. Gary made two big sign and showed it near the bus stop to both the passengers getting on and off the bus as well as attracting attention of the ongoing traffic. God definitely will use his such extraordinary acts to impress people that the message we share is utmost importance to their eternal wellbeing.

I still chose to play a less active role because of my cough that I had to keep a distance from people whom I had a chat. In the meantime, Johnny had again numerous and almost nonstop gospel sharing opportunity that he definitely would have lost count of the number. I tried my best to capture all those moments if I was not engaged in another conversation. There were again many signs of God's work leading Johnny and Gary to have very special chat to non-believers as well as to people of other faith. Johnny had a long chat with two persons from Taiwan on working holiday. And they have been quickly grabbed by the Mormon Cute but God helped to stop that two guys and let Johnny had an elaborated apologetic discussion with them, like what he had yesterday with a JHW woman. God is always at work and leads us to do what he has Willed and Planned.

As for me, I had six conversations as recap below: -

1) I followed up with a lady that Gary had approached and gave here the Chinese Tract. She claimed she got the tract before so than I asked what did she learn from the tract. She of course could not explained hence I quickly gave her a nutshell of the gospel before her bus came. ( 另一女士,聼過)

2) Then I carried on to follow up with a Chinese old couple from Guangzhou, China approached by Gary. Lucky that I did that as the husband completely misunderstood Gary thinking Gary warn him about falling branches from the tree. When he knew that Gary was actually sharing gospel with him, he shied away to avoid further chat. But his wife Madam Chen was more opened especially when she found out we are all Cantonese speaking. Again, she claimed to be a Buddhist and she has received similar tract from her Christian friends. I of course would not give up but keep sharing the gospel afresh to an extent she admitted it is clear, sensible and logical to accept. And then the bus came to end our conversation.( 陳, 廣州聽過,未信, 丈夫較僵化 , approached by Gary first)

3) Then God brought another non-believer also from China to stop for a chat. Unlike many other mainlander, she was very opened and receptive to the gospel that she claimed hearing it for the first time. She also admitted she is not perfect as such she also need Jesus to save her. While I was about to post the checking question to help affirming her redemptive faith, two of her friends suddenly turned up and kidnapped her away from me with an very obvious vicious purpose stopping her to have further chat with me. The lady was reluctant to go but still being dragged away. So this seemingly was a typical spiritual warfare attack but I believe God will have the final victory to ransom that lady from the hand of the evil one.(未信者認同接受但被朋友劫走)

4) Winnie a Vietnamese Buddhist stopped willingly to chat. Her initial mindset is to show that all religions are good. She even claimed she believes in God, but actually just Buddha which she reckons as God. But I led her to know that even the Buddha admitted he is imperfect and had sin to be punished unless some perfect one comes to save him. Winnie had no point to disagree and gradually she also was bought in to accept the logicality of the Gospel. I encouraged her to read the tract at home and prayed to God for forgiveness of her sin through accepting Jesus as here personal saviour and Lord.

5) The I caught with Jimmy and tested on his understanding of assurance of salvation I clarified last week. He answered correctly and posted several other questions about Judgement and the 2nd coming of Christ.

6) Finally I came across A Japanese girl who was in a rush to look for something. I nevertheless gave her both the Japanese and English tract. Her mind was pre-occupied by something else, but I still managed to leave the seed of Gospel in her heart.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday July 15, 2020 from 1300 - 1500

Praise and thank God moving four persons to serve at this harvest field including Johnny, Col, Allen and Hung. It was a fine Sunny winter afternoon, but it appeared a bit quieter than usual especially on the West side with Col and Allen. For the East side where Johnny and I partnered as a sub-team, there were more chances from both the Bus stop and the Pedestrian Bridge. God again teaches us lesson that we cannot use just human judgement to select or avoid targets. God kept supplying more than average numbers of Chinese mainlanders than normal. Another lesson God taught me today is that Sin must be emphasized despite natural reaction from the gospel target is feeling irritated and tendency to quit the chat. This happened several time to day. Anyway, I had 11 divine appointments as recap below: -

1) Brian a young local Aussie who looks clean and neat or a typical good man look. He politely stopped for a chat. But he was found irritated when I started touching on the issue of sin. He challenged me if I have ever smoke social drug. He became impatient to listen on and tried to escape from my sharing. I nevertheless insisted on walking him across the bridge to finish to full gospel and can only pray that God has His plan and work for Brian.

2) A Girl from Mainland China happily stopped listening to music from her iphone and prepared to chat. Yet it was cut short by the bus. God just wanted to show me, never ever stereotype and target group as it was God who stop persons for a chat.

3) While still around at the bus stop, I approached Marty an Indian high school girl from Mansfield state high. Again she stopped her music listening to chat with me yet again it was cut short by the bus after a nutshell of the gospel was shared.

4) Then yet another Chinese lady willingly took the tract but could not stay for a chat.

5) I chatted with the old Mainlander Grandma with her grandson after she finished chatting for over half an hour with Johnny. She did not feel love from her own daughter who takes her for granted summoning her to come to do child minding. She belongs to a typical community group of parent from Mainland China that actually feel lonely with no meaning in life as such is supposedly an ideal gospel target. I followed up to have a few chat to let her feel being cared for. At that time, Andrew a tall local Aussie interrupted our conversation to greet the cute grandson. He actually can speak a few mandarin greeting phrase. So I followed up on sharing the Good Person tract with him. He showed interest and actually asked for a few more tracts for his friends.

6) Carmen is a Filipino rare "Fair dinkum Christian". She is the rare Christian who has accurate understanding of gospel with full assurance of salvation.

7) Jackie’s the local Aussie Mum and daughters who initially stopped pleasantly for a chat but when touched upon sin, she also felt uneasy and turned impatience as well as unwilling to listen on.

8) A pregnant Vietnam woman willingly took tract. I on the contrary did not stop here in case my cold will pass on to her.

9) Grace and Rebecca are Danish and Scottish cross breed Grandma and grand daughter. They also appeared very polite and willing to listen to the gospel. Again they showed same reaction of getting irritated when touched upon the issue of sin. They nevertheless still let me finished the full gospel sharing.

10) Jimmy is a familiar gospel target that both Johnny and I had many chats before. But after causal greeting words, I still felt urge to check on his understand of the gospel and if he has secured full assurance of salvation. To my surprise, he gone back and thought his Christian parents got part of the credit for him to become saved. So I was glad God used me to explain to Jimmy which hopefully will help him to have his misconception clarified.

11) A Koran couples initially stopped for a chat. The wife was willing but not the husband again when the issue of sin was touched upon. He dragged his wife to leave right away.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday July 8, 2020 from 1300 to 1500

Praise and thanks God for yet another consecutive day of grace that four faithful servants were called to turn up to serve at Sunnybank including Johnny, Allen, Col and Hung. Johnny teamed up with Hung on the East side of the pedestrian bridge while Allen teamed up with Col on the West side.

Like yesterday at Toowong, God kept showing us that it was Him who are sovereign to take control of who were to stop and listen to the Gospel with a softened heart. Johnny had more than 10 chats with variety of people including many Chinese Mainlanders. I had 6 significant divine appointments with a few Chinese from Mainland that I used to label them as die hard atheist beyond redemption but God certainly has a different view and plan for some of them. Here is my recap of my conversation with them.

1) Shilba is a Filipino of India origin. She was very receptive to the gospel even though she considers herself embracing pan-animism or ethno-religious faith with also Hinduism in her family history background. She acknowledge the gospel message is logical and sensible but she might need the final push from the Holy Spirit to make her final step of faith to accept Jesus.

2) A grand ma by the name of Huang from mainland China was minding her grand kid waiting for the bus. She appeared very friendly to have a chat. She thought she is a good enough person for heaven but eventually understood that only those who are perfect are qualified and every body in a human society are all sinner susceptible to punishment of eternal death. She felt everybody including herself should need Jesus. The arrival of the bus cut our conversation short, but I pray that God's plan for madam Huang will continue until her salvation plan is finished.黃大媽,帶孫

3) Susan and Christy are twi high school friend. Susan is an ABC while Christy is an ABK. Christy initially was reluctant to stop, but Susan appeared to have been moved by the Spirit to stay with determination. So both of them listen to the sharing of Gospel. Susan was much more impressed than Christy and promised to ponder and pray to God for that final moment of accepting the free gift of eternal life by grace through faith in Christ.

4) A Chinese guys from mainland who was in a hurry, but still allowed me to walk and talk with him. But the attempt to finish the sharing of gospel was interrupted by a phone call.

5) A Christian from India but has no assurance of Salvation. He was also in a rush for work before I can have time to clarify and help him to establish 100% assurance of salvation.

6) An UQ student by the surname of Huang is from Guangzhou China. He did not prepare to stop not to mention a long chat but eventually chat for a long long time over half an hour. He noticed my accent of Mandarin and chose to switch speaking with me in perfect Hong Kong style Cantonese as his father is actually a Hong Kong Citizen. It helped to draw us closer for deep talk apart from the Gospel. I shared also my testimony of salvation and appealed him to response to the guide of the Holy Spirit like I do while living away from home and out of his own comfort zone. (黃廣卅港爸) After my long chat, God moved him to have another chat with Col. Pray that the Will of God be done for Huang.
