Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday June 25th, 2025 from 1030-1200

Today I served alone again at Sunny bank. It was totally out of my expectation that I had a longest conversation ever lasting over one and a half hour with a Christian pastor. By appearance , you would never guest he is a believer not to mentioned an itinerant pastor doing both local preaching and mission work in Africa and Filipina. He was making for himself a self made cigarette and most of his teeth were lost or rotten with a suspicious sign of drug addiction. Yet through conversation, he quickly identify himself a fair dinkum pastor and self-employed missionary. He is well verse in several Filipino dialect. He claimed he did his theological study at the Bible college in the Gold Coast. He lamented most churches teach only salvation by faith but not enough emphasis by grace, which itself is an unclear concept. Through to and forth clarification, he possibly means the need to live a sanctify and holy life after becoming a Christian otherwise it is only an empty title we got as a Christian.

There are a lot of Christian and doctrinal jargon in his mind as such it is not easy to have a hear to heart communication with him. I can only take it as the benefit of the doubt that it is the way of his expression of faith and the gospel in some local old fashion.

I only reached out to another Mainlander girl who showed skepticism toward Gospel but just listen on for politeness sake

I was a bit late being held up on a Kairos drilling arrangement with Ps Richard Jiang as such I possibly missed meeting Ann who used to come the same time but work across the road and come to join me when she sees me. Anyway, I was moved to keep using the accident happened last week whereby the rear left tail of the bus hit hard on a lamp post by the road side when departing from the bus stop. If any one stand near, even not in front will get hurt if not get killed. This happened when I talked to Matthew the Hong Konger young man that it is better early than late to make his personal decision to receive Christ when he readily acknowledges the need for him as well as all good persons that are not perfect to accept Jesus as Savior. Our life is not in control by ourselves but God. Right after I said these word, the bus hit hard at the lamp post with a loud big banging noise that rightly demonstrates how life could be vulnerable if any one stood near the lamp post will instantly lose his/her life.

Therefore, I was moved to keep inviting people to have a look of the crash mark of the bus left on the lamp post. It includes a couple migrated from Jiangsu Nanjing, a Senior elderly from Hong Kong, Parminder an Indian guy I caught up last week, and finally a UQ electrical Engineer Year 2 lady who is a local Aussie. God let me have long enough time to chat and share the full gospel message that seemingly have touched her heart like Matthew last week. She even missed her bus by taking time to have a selfie with me. So at the end, I was moved to accompany her till her next bus came and shared a lot more and deeper about the three folds deliverance and encouraged her to really consider seriously to make her timely decision to accept Jesus as Savior.

In contrast to a humble and willing heart of above mentioned people. God also led me to face rejection by a Mainlander young man. He deceitfully claim he got flu and asked me to keep a distance from him. He really did not know what he had missed. May God's grace bee enough to give him another chance to listen to the gospel.

Today again Hung and Ann turned up to do gospel outreach individually. Ann also does gospel outreach at other time and at other places during the week. But she still chooses to come around the same time to Sunnybank every Wednesday. She treated me as her supply station to replenish gospel tracts when her stock has run out as I have all the stock of gospel tracts stored in my car behind the bus stop.

Outreach at Sunnybank today had mixed result. On the one hand, it continues to be the barren land for gospel outreach to mainlander. My initial approaches to mainlanders almost faced different forms of rejection without exception. Two mainlanders of older and younger ages both chose to avoid me switching to another side of the bench without a word. Another two younger mainlanders men chose to ignore me as if I was as transparent as the air. Then another middle age woman did not reject me but use excuse to look at the bus schedule to avoid me. When I thought she is OK after looking up the bus schedule, then she used any other senseless excuse to move away from me even though she never said no to reject me. Finally, I was able to get hold of a senior mainlander men to have conversation, but he use irrelevant response to cut and interrupted my gospel sharing so at the end, only a fragmented gospel message was shared to him before the bus came.

But by the grace of God, I was miraculously connected again with Matthew from a Hongkonger family whose Cantonese is extremely good. Last week he was the exceptional one that I could share the full gospel with very positive response despite he and his family ar all non-religious. Today he recognized me and reminder me we had chatted before. I naturally followed up checking if he understands and shares the logic of the gospel message. He show great assertiveness to ponder to receive Christ. I advised him it is better early than late even though he is young and seems to have a lot of time to ponder and make up his mind. Right at this moment, a bus that was leaving the bus stop but turned his wheel too drastically quick as such the rear left of the bus hit heavily on the lamp post beside the bus stop. One of the rear light lamp even was struck coming off. If any one was standing in front of the lamp post, that persons must have been struck dead. You can see the picture of me kneeling in front of the lamp post with the yellow paint scratch mark left by the impact of the bus with the lamp post. Matthew immediately exclaim also that if he was standing there waiting for bus, he certainly will be killed, so my advice turn out to be a proven prophetic word calling him to make his earliest decision to receive Christ. He agreed to let me know his good news of receiving Christ next time if we meet again.
God also let me caught up with first a girl from Guangzhou doing design in QUT, and an Indian guy from the better off northern India doing IT study. Both of them showed openness and receptiveness towards gospel.

So Gospel Outreach is always a kind of spiritual warfare that, facing difficulty and rejection is the norm, but keep preaching the gospel irrespective of the response to those most die heart people is the calling that God has given to all lay Christian also for the goodness sake of our personal growth in the true knowledge of Christ.

I am glad that Ann finally noticed our change of time to 1030 and we met up there after she did here outreach at bus stop across the street. It was still a hard barren land for gospel lately, especially for people from Mainland China. Apart from a Hongkonger young man who was willing to chat and listen to gospel in Cantonese, all other approaches to mainlander received all sorts of negative responses either blunt rejection, avoidance, reluctancy to chat and half hearted conversation. Thanks God that he gave me all positive responses from mainlanders yesterday at Toowong as an advanced encouragement to keep sharing the gospel to His elected people even without visible fruitful result.

Hongkonger born

Today was basically a Mainlander outreach day with all the gospel targets being from Shanghai, Nanjing x 2, Beijing, and a couple of unknown cities. If it is of my own choice, I will try to avoid or giving lowest priority in approaching mainlander. But I was led to approach them also exclusively without fail even though the result was not that successful. Some showed reluctancy to chat casually but once they sensed it is about Christianity most will turn a cold face. Having said that, I must reflect and ponder to know that it is the heart of God who care also for lost souls in Mainland China despite it is still a hard and baron land especially for the younger generation. The population of Christian is actually very big about 2 Billions. But for those who come to our door steps, most choose an indifferent attitude to keep a distance from the gospel messenger. Pray for God's mission power to turn around this territorial spirt of mainlanders against God.

Returning to Sunnybank for regular weekly street outreach after two weeks of Interstate mission to Coober Pedy via Adelaide, the situation was the opposite of yesterday outreach in Toowong. Despite I already waited for a longer arriving schedule of the next bus, my time for sharing of Gospel were still in main insufficient and incomplete. . And none of my gospel targets today showed the same eagerness to the gospel message and all left in a hurry when the bus arrived leaving no chance for any decent selfie. It was a clear lesson for me that God is the only one in control of everything including their responses and readiness timing to receive Christ. We just do our part to be His messenger speaking aloud the prophetic voice to persuade people to repent and return to God through Jesus Christ redemptive and atoning grace.

1) Led first to approach a Young man studying in UQ from Chongxin重慶. Rapport was built because of my Sichuan earthquake disaster relief role in Counselling. He was impressed I took all the troubles to go back to China and serve there intermittently for 7 years after the earthquake by conducting counselling class mainly at those government controlled 3 self churches. Time was not enough for full gospel but just a nutshell shared with my testimony.

2) Next was a Hongkonger mum already migrated to Australia with kids doing high school. She actually live in the Northside and is attending the Kedron Brisbane Cantonese Church even though she is still a non believer. She cannot tell the church name but can tell Rev Zivah Lai's name. Again, only have a few minutes with her for the nutshell of the gospel.

3) Next is a lady from Thailand that I chatted many times before. 泰女 Just a friendly greeting and polite reminder of the gospel message and let her to be moved and touched by the Spirit through such repeated divine encounters.

4) Then I turned to a guy next to me who is from South Korea.南韓 He is also a non-believers. Shared a bit more almost full gospel but still finally interrupted by the arriving bus.

5) Then I was led to reunion with an ABC of Muslim faith possibly from her Australian dad and her mum is from Taiwan. Basically continuing on our conversation last time to reiterate the facts that every one who are good but not perfect all needs Jesus. She did not show great rejection of Jesus's name as those elderly Muslim people. So her mind basically is still open and impartial with good inclination to admit the need of salvation by Christ and Christ alone.

6) Last but not the least having the longest conversation with a man around 60 from same home town of Chairman Mao in Hunan. He is just visiting relative but live a mundane life. I tried to address his loneliness issue chatting a lot about Hunan and things happening in China and finally came to he gospel. His heart was softened by friendship so full gospel was shared before his bus come. His willingness to take a selfie with me was finally trashed by his need to rush to catch the bus. Otherwise, it was a good chat and fruit bearing divine encounter especially for a mainlander.

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.

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.

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.
