Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 281/6/2023 from 1300-1500

Praise be to God that Hao Qin joined us for the consecutive 2nd day. He seemed to be deeply driven to work with us as a team for the long haul, not just for two tern break weeks as previously thought. He actually had the first taste of street outreach under Andrew Walkington when he did the Evangelism course with BST in 2021. We missed the chance to meet each other then as Andrew might have brought them to Sunnybank at a different time. Anyway, after two years, God moved him to respond to Johnny’s calling to join our weekly outreach. It seemed that God even has moved him to summon more capable younger brothers& sisters of the Sherwood church to build an outreach team in His time like what God has raised up His gospel outreach team in GCCCC, SCCCC and Antioch Lutheran most recently. Hao Qin was apparently gifted in cross cultural evangelism in both language wise and boldness in making a quick approach as led by the spirit. We formed a good team complementing each other’s. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) First approach was to a person from Jie Jiang China who showed no interest but still I shared him the nutshell of the Gospel.? ,

2) Anna a Vietnamese lady who chatted with Johnny before has assurance of salivation but need a bit more clarification as her English is not good enough to explain why she has 100 % assurance of salvation. But it was really a very rare case for a Christian from an originally Buddhism country.

3) Approached two Mainlander first by Johnny and then me later but they were scared off.

4) Then I connected with a Vietnamese lady of Buddhism background. She expressed no interest to chat but I still manage to chat and share the gospel until the bus came.

5) Morehead and Queenie are from a city North of Mumbai in India. Initially they rejected our approach, but I did not give up and found out that they were new comer to study at QUT who had just arrived and need to take a bus to garden point of the CBD. They were lost for direction and was about to make a wrong turn. I stopped them in time and guide them to take the next bus to Queen Street Bus terminal. They turned around become very appreciative for my help and took the initiative to take a tract when their bus came. They also were very happy to take a selfie with me and pray that God will lead them to meet with another evangelist hopefully with OAC guys at Garden Point QUT campus.

6) Met again with Catherine a Catholic Christian from Philippine whom I met her first time on May 24th. To my surprised she has very clear understanding of the gospel with 100 % assurance of salivation. She was delighted to take a selfie with me. It was good I met her again today and recognized her for mutual encouragement.

7) Two ladies rejected Qin but I caught up with the Spanish speaking lady later. We had a good chat as I could connect with her in a bit Spanish. I managed to give her a tract to read when they had to leave the bus stop.

8 ) Then I approached a Vietnamese couples. The wife appeared not tolerance and left while the husband still want to listen.

9) I Met with another Filipino lady of Catholic faith. She was open to the gospel and was happy also to have assurance of salavati0on clarified.

10) Last but not the least I connected with a lady by the name Zhang from Wenzhou of Jie Jiang. It was the Jerusalem in China because of greatest proportion of Christian as well as the number of missionaries sent out. She is from a Christian Family, and boldly admitted she is Christian. But her teaching about salvation is not sound as such she did not have assurance of salvation. which I clarified for her thoroughly. . She thanked me for that and dared to take a selfie with me which is the first ever for me with a mainlander Christian.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 21/6/2023 from 1300-1500

Amy was able to join Johnny and Hung today at Sunnybank and God used us to bless many people abundantly. In particular, Amy brought Holly an Aussie young girl to Christ on the spot. It is an observation through our usual outreach experience that people of all other nations are far easier for reach out to have good quality conversation then the mainlanders. Situation has changed a bit in the past 6 months that more younger persons from Mainland China appeared more softened and open to the gospel. But there are still a majority of Mainlander do not want to be bothered by the gospel sharing. Today, as a team, we felt awarded with real person receiving Christ on the spot and promised to follow Christ by finding a church as their spiritual home and school. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) First approach to a Filipino, despite of their Catholic background, I was rejected for a chat.

2) Next, I approached a Mauritius lady. She was willing for a chat, but her bus came too quick that I could only touch on the nutshell of the Gospel as such she only took a tract.

3) Then I approached another African who was busy in texting as such he also only took a tract

4) Then came Sister Susan Zhang of Logos Church from Fuzhou Johnny chatted with her many times before but I met her first-time last week. She greeted me as such I originally attempted to test and clarify if she understands gospel completely and has assurance of salvation. But then Johnny chipped in and took over the conversation. I overheard anyway that Sister Zhang actually has no assurance of salvation and does not understand the gospel correctly.

5) Then I faced two more blunt rejections from one Korean and one Mainland Chinese.

6) Then God led me to reunion with a Couples boy and girl friends , Wu ? & Yao?from Guangzhou. Followed up and refreshed their memory and understanding of the gospel and the both showed great receptiveness of salvation. Keep praying for God's timing to guide them to make the last step of faith .

7) Then God led me to cross over to the other side of the Main Road to check how Amy was doing. I was glad to find out that Amy had led a local Aussie girl Holly Samways to Christ. I took the chance to share my testimony as part of the conversion instant discipleship.

8 ) Two Chinese girl of UQ student. Both appeared opened for a chat and one is from Tian Jin. But they declined to take a track.

9) Moses Li who attended our CFC 26th Anniversary introduced by Ruth Liao greeted with me while I was chatting with the two Tianjin girls. Tried to double test his understand of the gospel and if he has assurance of salvation but the bus came too quick.

10) The I was led to chat with Roma a Russian form Eastern Asia but already migrated to Australia. We clicked in many aspects as such he is opened for the gospel.

11) Towards the end, another Chinese girl declining to talk religious issues but still managed to share the nutshell of the gospel.

12) Finally connected with a guy from Henam Changzhou. He is studying at Griffith. He appeared very nervous to listen to the gospel and scare to take a tract though I still managed to share the full gospel to him.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 14/6/2023 from 1300-1500

Today, still only Johnny and Hung teamed up to serve at Sunnybank. There was equal chance to chat with Chinese and people of all culture. Today I met a very rare African from Djibouti. I had to even look up the country name after going home to be sure this is where that two African guys are from. So, God does lead and guide us to meet randomly people of all nations though with His predestined Will. We simply just follow and serve whoever God led us to approach with boldness and courage and in His strength. Recap is the Battle log of Hung.

0) Approached first a Filipino New Zealander. He Claimed himself an Atheist. Tried to have a friendly ice braking chat first but still being declined with the excuse of listening to learning stuff over the earphone. Irrespective of this polite but disheartening rejection, God rewarded me with a long and fruitful chat as follows.

1) I was led to approach Zhu from Hangzhou , because he seemed not waiting for bus but friend. When I was about to make my approach, he suddenly took the iPhone to shoot shot video over people on the pedestrian bridge which I learned later was his girlfriend. We connected because I was a visitor to his city in 1973 before he was born. God let us have a very long chat allowing me to share the full gospel with many testimonies. Even this is the first time he heard the gospel; his heart is very softened and ready for it with high degree of receptiveness. I gave him non pressure, but ask him to share the tract or my message to his girlfriend after she came back. Both are very pleasant polite and friendly persons. I reckon Mr hu is just a step from accepting Jesus Christ as his Saviour. I left him a lead to look for Power to Change if he finally receive Jesus as Saviour or he want to learn more from other Christians at the UQ Campus.

2) Next I approached a Korean Atheist not willing to chat, but I still managed to share the core gospel message to him.

3) Susan Zhang a Logos Church member of the Mackenzie Congregation. Johnny has chatted with her many times though not me, but Susan also recognized me as the Gospel outreach partner of Johnny. We witnessed her journey of faith from non-believers met us on the street and finally joining Logos Church and be baptised. We pray that our life witnesses will move her to be mobilized to assume more active gospel outreach work.

4) Then I was led to approach two African guys from Djibouti . Because of their limited English level, it was very hard to communicate with them. I took some time to get his country name right which I have no knowledge of it before. They are a comparatively newly independent country with Islamic as their National religion. Possibly for this reason, Johnny's first approach was rejected. I any way still tried to make friend with them first knowing they came for English study. So it was definitely helpful to have a good chat in English with them. Limited gospel message was shared as their bus came quite quickly. Nevertheless, he voluntarily asked for a tract be given to him by putting in his shopping bag. Pray that this iota of action pathed by God will bear fruit eventually.

Djibouti[a], officially the Republic of Djibouti, is a country in the Horn of Africa, bordered by Somalia to the south, Ethiopia to the southwest, Eritrea in the north, and the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden to the east. The country has an area of 23,200 km2 (8,958 sq mi).

5) Then I was led to approach a Filipino of Catholic Christian background. I connected with him through a Chinese Tattoo on his fore arm which he thought is Japanese. I went straight to test for his assurance of salvation which was obviously in lacking. Only had time for a quick clarification before the bus arrived.

6) Then God let me had another long Chat with a Peru young man from a Catholic Christian family background. He admitted he is not religious or literally not yet a believer. He came for English study at the school at Kangaroo point that was possibly the reason he was moved to have a long chat with me. I shared him the full gospel and guided him to ponder if he and everyone else all agree we are not perfect having all sort of shortcoming and weak point in our human characters, will there be no need for us be held accountable for our imperfection aka sins in God eyes. His heart was softened to accept this fact as such this needs for all good person to seek Jesus as our Saviour. We were too carry away with our deep conversation as such he missed his bus that he had to wait for another 11 minutes for the next bus. But he deemed it is worthy for having such chat. We took a selfie and he was still looking at his smart phone to look for the next bus. Pray for his ultimate salvation by faith through grace, not by family inheritance.

7) Then I caught up with a young girl Li ?from Tianjin who is an UQ students. Our ice breaking chat was interrupted by the arrival of a bus which was not what she want. So, God gave me a 2nd chance to share the full gospel to her with good receptiveness.

8 ) Finally, I had yet another long chat with two HongKong girls, one studies at Griffith and the other at Bond. They quickly disclosed they are Christians so I jump right a head to test their assurance of salvation. Their answer to Q1 & 2 were all good and correct but with a very hesitant tone. This I still went through the explanation for them to become firmer and more steadfast in term of their Christian faith. We took a selfie quickly when the bus came and I asked which church do they attend in Gold Coast and Hurrah it is GCCCC. So pray that they now know that their church has a Street Gospel outreach warrior team serving every Thursday afternoon at Southport and hoping that one day they will join us there.

In antiquity, the territory, together with Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somaliland, was part of the Land of Punt. Nearby Zeila, now in Somaliland, was the seat of the medieval Adal and Ifat Sultanates. In the late 19th century, the colony of French Somaliland was established after the ruling Dir Somali sultans signed treaties with the French, and its railroad to Dire Dawa (and later Addis Ababa) allowed it to quickly supersede Zeila as the port for southern Ethiopia and the Ogaden. It was renamed the French Territory of the Afars and the Issas in 1967. A decade later, the Djiboutian people voted for independence. This officially marked the establishment of the Republic of Djibouti, named after its capital city. The new state joined the United Nations. In the early 1990s, tensions over government representation led to armed conflict, which ended in a power-sharing agreement in 2000 between the ruling party and the opposition.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 7/6/2023 from 1300-1500

What a pity, Amy was still sick with coughing that even her son Joshua had placement for pre-school, she still could not join Hung and Johnny. Nevertheless, ministry had to go on irrespective of any sort of hindrance or spiritual warfare. Both of us had consecutive divine encounter with both non-believers and nominal Christians. Many had led to fruitful result. Recap bellow is the Battle Log of Hung:

1) First approach was with an Aussie girl but just enough for a conclusion and handing out a tract.

2) Then I caught up with a 50th to 60th Chinese lady but in her handy man uniform taking call form workforce partners. She anyway was vert opened to the gospel and took both the English and Chinese tract to revise on the full gospel message I had shared with her.

3) Then I had a chat with an English-speaking Malaysian Chinese. Time was a bit short but still managed to share the nutshell of the Gospel.

4) Next was with an Indonesian old lady, despite of her Muslim faith. She was opened to the gospel and appeared receptive to the message.

5)An elderly man Liu from Chung Shan, China, claimed himself a Buddhist?. God let me had more than average enough time to stress the point that being Good alone is no use to offset stain of sin from our imperfected or corrupted human character. Both good and bad guys all need Jesus as Saviour and Lord of our born-again life.

6) Then I chatted with Mummy Lin from Guangzhou. She is the first and only on deem that there may be perfect person in the fallen world. . But she was actually referring to Jesus who was the onlyborn perfect person that has the capacity to save us by his atoning death.

7) An UQ Uni student by the name Li ?is from Xiamen, Fu Jiang , just got into gospel but not yet mentioning the Cross . Pray for follow up chat in future.

9) Declined for a chat by a Chinese couple but took a tract anyway.

10) Then I picked up a South African who was waiting to be picked up. Just managed to pass on a tract as the pickup car arrived in no time.

11) Kiresa an and John, Filipino Catholic Christian couple, were friendly and open. As a Catholic Christian, I jumped forward to test their assurance of salvation which surprisingly almost zero. They were appreciative for my clarification and teaching of BIBLICAL basis of doctrine about salvation.

12) Had a long chat with Xu who was born in Guangzhou but parents were originally for Changsha, Hunan. . We clicked because I take Hunan as my second home town with Changsha the most visited city in China. She appeared opened and receptive to the gospel.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 31/5/2023 from 1300-1500

Today, again only Johnny and Hung were available for the Sunnybank Street outreach. Amy and her too kids were all sick at home. Today, we again were mostly occupied with a chat. And today especially for Hung, I had less but many more long chats which were so obviously arranged by God with elected people that we had met before but carried on this time for a very long and deep chat on the gospel as well as my personal life witnesses. Another phenomenon today was that majority were Mainlanders coming here for UQ study but they all live in Sunnybank with two even coming from the same city of We Xi in Jiangsu China.

1) First, I was led to approach Boyd a Filipino Catholic Christian. He was very appreciative for my help to have his assurance of salvation clarified, as such he was happy to take a selfie with me to signify this divine encounter.

2) Then I was led to approach a girl by the surname of Wang ?from Wu Xi Jiangsu. He was of Buddhism faith but found the gospel appealing. She was amaze to know that Buddhism is not a religion as it worships no god in its original form. Budda Secamuri only promote a way of life to uplift himself to reach Nevera, a state that he become immune against temptation?I also proved to her the scientific aspect of Bible using 6 days creation as an example. She really found it interesting and convincing. She took a tract to read before we were apart when the bus came.

3) Mark an unofficial atheist believing in no god but aliens. I used again the 6 days creation to prove to him the trustworthy and scientific aspect of the Bible and left him with a tract to contemplate.

4) Then I caught up with a girl by the name of Yao?from Guangzhou . She said she met me 3 weeks ago with her male classmate. . They are UQ students but all live in Sunnybank to take 139 bus to cross the Green Bridge to UQ. Thanks God that the bus was late as such I had almost half an hour time to share here the full gospel and then went through my personal salvation witnesses. She was very moved with a very softened heart and willing to ponder to make her last step of faith.

5) Then I was led to chat with yet another girl from Guangzhou she was willing to listen to my full gospel sharing , but at the end declined my offer of the tract.

6) Daniel is an Australian born Indian ABI. He is a timid boy but appeared all receptive to the gospel message.

7) Finally, I caught up with yet another man from Wu Xi , he was willing to listen and raise no question about the gospel. But at the end, he did not take a tract.

Johnny originally thought he would still be caught up in other matter as such sent me his apology to come. So, Amy and I start the ministry first. To our surprised Johnny quickly re-join us only half an hour later after his personal matter was done. Amy first served at the Western Bus stop and later moved to serve as the Easter Bus stop with Johnny and me left behind. Together, again the Spirit led us to have long and fruitful conversation with many non-believers. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung alone: -

1) The first woman I approached is from Cambodia who said she had many chats with most of us before. . Anyhow, I still managed to revise the message with her.
2) The next I approached was Brendon who claimed he had chatted with me at least five times before. He is an ABC with parents from Hong Kong and China. He claimed he has underst00d the full gospel but he still deemed his time to make the last step of faith has not come yet. I promise will keep praying for this last moment for him to come in His time.
3) Then I was moved to approach Wu ?from Mainland China with his partner. Initially he was very reluctant to listen but I use a soft approach to share my past experience in China for first earthquake relief then care for disabled orphans then Mr Wu ' attitude was changed to become receptive and listening the full Gospel. He even got both Chinese and English version of our tract. Pray for God's follow up work through the Spirit.
4) Then I got connected with to Taiwanese . The younger one showed openness and willingness to listen the full gospel with an open mind and humble attitude. He took the tract and pray for God's follow up work.
5) Then I chatted with Catherine a Catholic Christian from Philippine. To mu surprised she has very clear understanding of the gospel with 100 % assurance of salivation. She was delighted to take a selfie with me.
6) Then the Spirit led me to pick up the same man from Xiamen I?chatted briefly. I was able to learn more about him who came to accompany his son for study he said he has read the tract and find interest in it. So, I pray I can meet him again next week for more chat.
7) Then I connected with a young man from Chung Shan . He sat at the very far side of the side bench smoking so that it will not affect another person. He was even willing to skip a bus to let me finish the full gospel and expressed a rational and open mind towards Christianity. Pray for another chance to chat next week.
8 ) Finally , I had a longest chat first time with a German from Frankfurt. I quickly can identify with him with my past visit to Germany visiting my PHD brother studying and teaching there as well as my tourism visit including the historic breaking sown of the Berlin Wall. Joshua admitted he was a nominal Christian with no live connection with God in his grown-up life. But the Spirit led me to revive his soul to understand his once decision to accept Jesus is still for ever effective to be granted back the loss heavenly citizenship and the life of born-again Christians are all not yet perfect but needed to be transformed by the work of the Holy Spirit back to perfection. I thus also helped him to re-establish the assurance of salivation and pray that he will be moved to reconnect with God personally first then back to have normal church life.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 17/5/2023 from 1300-1500

It was great to have Johnny re-joining the Sunnybank Street outreach on a weekly basis. I will not need to do outreach as a singleton anymore. Today, God again used us mightily to connect with large variety of people including non-believers, Christians but back flipped and Christians leading a nominal life without assurance of salvation and finally the fair dinkum Christians with 100% assurance of salvation anchored by the atoning death of Jesus as our Saviour and Lord of Life. Recap below is my Battle Log:

1) A Hong Kong Lady once was a Christian but deserted her original faith in Christ simply because of the bad witnesses of other Christians especially those Pastors who fails to live out a sanctified life to glorify God. I spend hugh amount of time to guide her to see that Christian if in flesh will still vulnerable to sin against God and each other. But as long as we have a right beginning of admitting we are sinners as accept Jesus as our saviour and Lord of our born again new life, then our eternal identity will be changed back from enemy of God to children of God or a heavenly Citizen. Yet Gid still has to take time to transformed us back to perfect through the gentle work of the Holy Spirit. In this journey of Sanctification, we should focus on letting out life be remoulded in God’s hand, but not picking on the mistakes or lack of life witnesses from other Christian brothers and sisters. Anyway, the arrogant and subjective through of the lady rendered a stone heart for the Spirit to let her humble herself to focus on her own life journey.

2) Michael from Taiwan. a fair dinkum Christian with 100% assurance of salvation and 100% understand of the gospel.

3) Then I was led to approach another Mainlander with just a brief intro of the gospel then the bus came to cut the conversation short. Still managed to give out a tract.

4) Allianz a Filipino Catholic girl with assurance of salvation clarified.

5) Philip another Hong Konger , just have time for a brief mutual intro and a nutshell of the Gospel then the bus came and he was given a tract to read on seeing each other off.

6) Then I was lead to meet a man from Xiamen but again just a brief chat with a tract as conversation ended again by the quick arrival of the bus.

7) Kevin an American Born Chinese from South San Francisco who again has 100 % assurance of salvation and 100 correct understanding of the gospel.

8 ) Then I came across a Chinese Christian but was not yet able to test for his faith status.

9) Sylvia from Nanjing who claimed Christianity is not scientific enough for things presented in the Bible. I thus chose to use 6 days creation to show her the science aspect of it and she was convinced. It was a pity the bus just arrived to end our conversation

10) Capella from Stretton State high School was friendly and open to the gospel message, again just managed to preach the nutshell of the gospel with a tract.

11) Then I was led to approach a Korean girl who end up also taking a tract with bus came quickly.

12) Zhou a mainlander who claimed himself once a Christian but no more after has done Philosophy and Theology simultaneously. He has a lot of incorrect and incomplete understanding of the Bible and prejudiced view of God's character and nature. I managed to draw him back to the right track but his wrong comprehension of the whole paradigm of God rendered him great resistant to really understand the truth.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 3/5/2023 from 1300-1500

Today, I was to serve solo again as no one else was available. It was important for me to keep the momentum going despite I just freshly recovered from my Prostate trimming procedure which normally would require more time of rest. But by the grace of God, I felt as energetic as usual to honour my commitment to keep doing street outreach in His strength. Basically, I got both funny if not crazy responses from some guy appeared to have mental issue and a deceitful lady pretending she does not speak Chinese or English. In the meantime, I had several very meaningful and fruitful conversation with both non-believers or Christians without clear understanding of the gospel lacking assurance of salvation. Recap below is the Battle Log for today.

1) I was moved to approach a Chinese looking middle age guy but he chose to response in short English phrase that seems to be from the charismatic background. I was almost certain he does not speak fluent English but just short phrases of Biblical weir terminology, likes Bible on the grace, prostitutes, that convey no complete meaning. I anyway disregard his tactics to confuse me but focus on sharing the full Gospel to him until his bus arrived.

2) Then I approached Ryan who sat on the side bench. He is a non-believer but remain polite, friendly to the gospel, especially I usr the Aussie slang Fair Dinkum as the ice breaker. At the end, he was convinced the gospel is sensible and he promised to ponder about his need for Jesus to pardon his sin and grants him the eternal life. He delightfully took a selfie with me for future possible re-encounter for follow up.

3) Then I moved closer to the bus stop to connect with a Colombia couple coming to learn English. I used my limited Spanish greeting as the ice breaker and share the full gospel to them. They appeared receptive to he gospel message possibly because of their Catholic Background but with little interaction because of limited English level.

4) First Terry then joined by Josh the Filipino couples, they quickly identified themself as Catholic so I focus on testing their understanding of the gospel and if they have assurance of salvation which as expected were both unclear. I clarified it for them together with related biblical teaching. They politely and patiently let me finish off my clarification and sharing about the Kairos movement originated from their home country with a selfie.

5) Then I came across a possible Chinese girl but trying to disguise herself as English speaking. I then switched to share in English and after I finished the nutshell of the Gospel, she excused to quit our conversation for checking out the bus schedule.

6) Then I turned to Roland an 11 years old ABV with parent from Vietnam. He was receptive to the gospel message and promise to read the tract in full for a personal response.

7) Then I caught up with a Nepal girl and draw her to see the work of God in Nepal after the earthquake 9-10 years ago. She show good interest in the gospel.

8 ) Then I approach finally Theja from Sri Lanka coming here to study international business at Griffith. She looks like a high school student but is mature enough to have an interactive conversation with me about the eternal life issues.

Battle Log of Operation 513 & Antioch Lutheran Church the "Unite" Team at Sunnybank on Friday 21/4/2023 from 1830-2000

I was occupied on Wednesday as such I decided to do my usual Wednesday shift instead on Friday together with the "Unite" team of 11 of the Antioch Lutheran Church. It was the 2nd time the "Unite" team was sent on to the mission field in Sunnybank. I was honour to be a mobilizer and guardian to walk alongside this energetic young team to overcome their unwilling and insecure barrier to do open air cross-cultural outreach. Their Pastor Rev Charlie and Shirley Mach also turned up this time to give them a spiritual boost and support. They still sub divided into three groups of a new team combination and swapping position. While I still have a handful of my own outreach as recap below, my time was mainly spent to oversee their progress giving a needed push as guided by the Spirit. Actually, the presence and the acts of the Spirit was quite obvious. I was led to meet up with the same guy that had a long chat with I-Lu a month ago. And I was able to stop randomly a Guy from Tongxin Sichuan who was opened to the gospel and connected well with Joshua and Jiao Jiao the Sichuan girl. On the other hand Gabby team had a long conversation with a Christian who has doubt about his faith. But Gabby spent hour to mentor and pray for him. The Gabby team was also visited by a Chrisitan friend with a non-beliver freind coming along at the back. But Gabby was able to initiate a gospel chat with that non-beliver guy with good results.

Overall speaking it was a successful outreach with encouraging sign of steadfast Commitment and continuous growth in confidence and faith in working with God to become a team of fisher of men for Christ.

1) I tried to approach a girl next to the Joshua Team as a demo but the effort was in vain.

2) So, I turned to another guy nearby who happened to be the same young hippie guy that had a long chat with I-Lu. Yet this time he showed no keen interest though he still listened up the full gospel sharing. After that, he excused and left for meeting up with a friend.

3) Then I went back to the West side and caught up with Brendan an Australian born Sri Lankan of Catholic Christian faith but has no assurance of salvation. He was there waiting for pick up by friends as such I had long time to share both the gospel and testimony.

4) Last but not the least, I again stop a guy called Duke from Tongxin who has come just 3 months. So he is the new generation with more open mind to embrace new thought and idea. At the end, we added each other WeChat including Joshua as Duke's senior in QUT of the same Finance Department and with Jiao Jiao who are culturally similar from Sichuan.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 12/4/2023 from 1300-1500

Praise be to God I had Gary joining me to day while Amy is on leave with her kids in Coffs Harbour friend's farm. As usual, Gary brough along a big sign to promote the online evangelism by Ryan.

Gary met his first target who voluntarily asked to take photo with us before the sign. Actually, we found out later he may be a person with mental issues and does not speak English as such he mistook the sign as some advertisement sign board. Gary anyway took the chance to share him the gospel and handed him a tract. As for me, I was moved to approach more Chinese mainlander than usual and it proved that God is changing their heart and most of them are better prepared to receive the gospel. The last I met is actually a Christian girl from Liaoning Shenyang but of Korean blood. Her father is a pastor of the house church as such she has the perfect understanding of gospel evidenced by her 100% assurance of salvation. And she also was open to taking a selfie with me. Reap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) I was first moved and led to approach a middle-aged Chinese lady with her son from Hubei Wuhan . she has been in Australia over 10 years as such she and family have escaped the torture of locked down of Wuhan. Thus, they have come to their sense to be more open minded to the truth they can access in the free world than continuing to listen to the party's line of propaganda. She really has not heard of gospel before but appeared very receptive to the gospel message and promised to read the tract at home.

2) Then I moved on to connect with a girl from Bangladesh sitting net to us. She was also very opened to the gospel but the bus cut our conversation short.

3) Then I moved on to approach a young girl of 19-year-old from Tianjin . She has ust arrived for a couple of weeks for study. Again, she was very opened to the gospel but an incoming call from her mother cut short our conversation.

4) Next I took turn to approach a non-Chinese which so happened is Ahmad from Indonesia. He came for Taffe study and he is obviously of Muslim background but again was opened to the gospel. He was happy to take a tract to revise on the message I shared with him and finally, he was also willing to take a selfie with me.

5) Then I caught up with a man from Jie Jiang Hangzhou for a brief chat before his quick arriving bus.

6) Then I bumped into a matured youngster from North Eastern China Shenyang. He quickly told me he has a bible at hoe and he has read a lot of the Bible as such he may cross check what I said with what he read from the bible. I did not rebuked him that as a non-believer, he would not be able to fully and correctly understand the Bible. So I chose to share with him some Bible key doctrine from bible verses he might have read. I use Gen 3:15 to illustrate the dual Kingdom and Salvation Project set up as a blue print of His mission in the fallen world planning to send Jesus to come to die on the cross for repaying the debt of sin on our behalf but three days he rose from death to signify that Jesus has conquer the power of death and defeated Satan to set us free from the bondage of sin controlled by Satan. It helped to give him the awareness that his understanding of the Bible was far from completer and correct and hopefully, he will be moved to accept Christ first and let the Spirit to take full control of his heart.

7) Then I approached a Filipino lady of Chinese and Vietnamese blood who is a Christian explaining to her the difference between Catholicism and Protestant Christ. She was thankful for my sharing.

8 ) The last I met is actually a Christian girl ? from Liaoning Shenyang but of Korean blood. Her father is a pastor of the house church as such she has the perfect understanding of gospel evidenced by her 100% assurance of salvation. And she also was open to taking a selfie with me. She is more akin to Korean culture as such she is attending Korean Church in the CBD.
