Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday February 7th, 2024 from 1300-1500

Praise be to the Lord, when Edwin became not available to join as it clashed with his new class attending time in the new BST semester, God moved the Gospel warrior of Christ's family Church to come instead. As a result, it became a mini-CFC squad with Hung, Amy, Peace and CFC's friend ANN working as a team to serve and work with God.

This time Amy voluntarily took up chatting and sharing gospel with Peace Mum, most of the time while Ann and Peace especially the latter setting herself a target to share with at least 5 persons which she eventually had accomplished exceeding the target. It was great joy and rewarding to see the growth of your own church members to become a fearless bold gospel warrior. For myself, I also got a few important divine encounters and conversation that may lead to fruitful result. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung:

1) Suki was referred to me by Ann for a follow up chat.

2) Two Chinese look girls but do not speak Chinese yet their English is also not good. I nevertheless, still managed to share them the full gospel in the simplest English expression.

3) Sampras a Filipino man who claimed to have chatted with Edwin last week. I took this opportunity to follow up and he was fully and truly impressed to know that it is the only way for any good but imperfect person or sinful human being to repent and accept Jesus as our Saviour. So I encouraged him to pray to ask God for confirmation to make his last step of faith to accept Christ He showed his appreciation for my passion to emphasize to him the imperative need to receive Christ by taking a selfie with him.

4) Then I was led to approach an African from Sudan. He was nice to chat though he confessed he is a Muslim. I emphasized to him religions are good but cannot address the issue of sin.

5) Last but not the least, I was led to catch up with Tada Ho, a HongKonger girl coming as a Working Holiday person. Although she is not yet a Christian, but she has Christian family members, and appeared very open to the gospel especially after I shared the full gospel with her. I seldom invited people to CFC but I was moved to ask if she feels obliged to do so and contact me later to pick her up.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday January 31st 2024 from 1300-1500

It was great that Amy can join the Wednesday Sunnybank ministry more regularly as her younger son Joshua has started attending Prep during week days. So Hung, Edwin and Amy were teamed up to serve. Through the active pursuing, in particular by Qin Hao, it always resulted in quick exhaustion of people that nobody was left untouched. Recap below is Hung's Battle Log.

1) James from Taiwan was a very shy big fellow, but he listened to the gospel very attentively and humbly and ended up accepting that the message is good, sensible, logical as such he has no disagreement on any part of the full gospel message. So rationally, it was through, we just wait for the move of the Holy Spirit to bring James home to receive Christ as his Savior and Lord of life.

2) Then I was led to approach a Sri Lanka woman. She looked very open and receptive but I could barely just start when her bus arrived. She anyway happily took a tract to read.

3) Then I was led to approach an Islander lady. She was also all welcoming for the chat but it was a pity, it again was cut short by her arriving bus. But she eagerly asked for a tract to read.

4) Then I was led to meet up with a Christian lady from ??who is attending the Rochdale Chinese Alliance Church, the Mandarin congregation. ???????She anyway failed the test of her assurance of salvation having only 50% of it . I was good I can clarify with her and she is now correctly having 100% assurance of salvation.

5) A Korean couple were sceptical about our street ministry questioning if it is legal. I made use of this chance to explain that, in all Western free World. It is always legal to have free speech in public place and it is legal to take picture in public place with many strangers being taken into the picture. They turned to show understanding and I also was able to share the full gospel to her. At the end, she also was happy to take a tract as well

6) Then I was led to approach a couple that I thought were both English speaking. But I was wrong that the lady Anna is from Taiwan while her boyfriend Kevin is from Thailand. I was able to share gospel in Chinese to Cindy till her bus arrived. And Kevin was actually just seeing Cindy off for the bus. So, I stayed to share gospel in English with Kevin which he showed genuine appreciation and took a tract as well.

7) Then next I approached a Vietnamese man who does not speak Chinese. Full gospel was briefed and a tract was given out at the end.

8 ) Then I had a long chat with an elderly man Mr. Li ?from Guangzhou with home town at ??????He was exceptionally open and soft to accept gospel ???He stayed long enough for the full gospel and finally had to leave to pick up his grandchild.

9) Finally, I caught up with another lady from mainland China ???. She also appeared very open and receptive. I suddenly realize, all mainlander I met today are all gentle, mild and receptive to the Gospel. What a miracle and praised be to God of election.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday January 17th 2024 from 1300-1500

Praised and thank God moving Edwin Qin Hao to join ne today at Sunnybank when Johnny is away back to Taiwan for a month. It is always good to serve the Lord as a team. Thew physical condition (weather) today was excellent, sunny but not hot or wet but the Spiritual atmosphere was low. This was in total contrast with yesterday where the Physical weather condition was bad but God's glory was over the mission field at the bus stop that, almost every single one appeared open and receptive to the Gospel proven by many willing selfie photos with me. Today, it was a different picture with a higher-than-average reject rate and some conversations also linger not long enough for full gospel message sharing. Despite of the not so favourable environment, Both Edwin and Hung still had many divine appointments made with particular persons for a longer and fruit bearing conversation.

1) I was attracted to approach a Mum and daughter ??combination of senior age from Guangzhou?? as I overheard them speaking in Cantonese but they were very sceptical ?? to double check who I am. Eventually, they still took a tract to read when their bus came.

2) Then I approached a young man but we were immediately interrupted by a phone call. I waited for a long while but could not but give up eventually(???)

3) Then I turned to a Korean lady sitting on the bench who came for vocational college. Surprisingly she holds an extreme anti-god and or anti-religion viewpoint, but I was moved to still manage to alert her being a good person but not perfect is not good enough for offsetting our imperfection aka sins. She still showed a cold stone heart to reject anything from God.

4) Next, I approached Amy who is a Kiwi of Indian origin and has no religious pursuing faith. However, she was drawn to the gospel sharing and admited every one need Jesus as she felt the salvation package devised and implemented by God through Jesus is all sensible and logical. She promised to read the tract and reflect on the full gospel message with Jesus as the central figure.

5) Next, I was led to catch up with a lady? from Lanzhou??, Gansu?? where my God daughter used to live. I basically share my life witness ?? seeing God's work still being visible in Lanzhou with the Memorial Hall built for William Bolton. She admitted she is aware of all those I shared with her and seemed very moved even without the gospel message shared when her bus came. God for sure will make everything work to convict this lady whom I deem is the chosen or elected one for salvation.

6) Next, I tried to approach Two high school girls from different country. Again, the timing was not right and I did not even have time to start the gospel sharing, but both of them eagerly took the tract to read. May the Will and Plan of God for them be accomplished.

7) Then I approached a mainland middle age woman?????She was rejective initially, ???? but I tuned down to stay tune for a friendly chat and eventually shared her the full Gospel and surprisingly she had no sign of rejecting the content and logic of it. Even better she voluntarily took a tract at the end. So you could see the obvious work of God to soften her heart and turn around her mind to listen to the gospel. ???????

8 ) Fraser whose Grand Father was a Catholic Christian as such he has heard about Jesus and the gospel before. But he stayed at a distance from God as he thinks God is not fair why making some people be born into very poor caste like in India. I remarked to him that being poor physically may not be the worst thing int he world, rather it often time is a disguised blessing that poor people who more often is also poor in the spirit as such they are easier to humble themself to receive the gospel and be saved by Jesus. He found my view point very interesting and realistic. At the end, he appeared moved to turn around to take the Christian faith more seriously and thanks for my sharing.

9) Then I was led to catch up with a young man from Mainland China who claimed he has chatted with us before. Before I could check and follow up on her faith status, he interrupted me and asked me to introduce a suitable Chinese Church for his friend, which I felt the Holy Spirit enlightened me that he himself is actually the one who wanted to look for Chinese Church. So, I named three churches including SDBC, SIC and CCCB Coopers Plains for him to choose. He told me he just lives behind Pineland Plaza of which the nearest church is SIC.

10) Last but not the least, I spent the longest time to interreact with an ABP Australian Born Pakistanis who was brough up in Mackay then come to do Uni attending Graffith in Brisbane. He looks much mature but just of 25 years of age. He is a Muslim by birth and seems to have a bit but limited knowledge about Islamic teaching. But thanks to Siddique, I presented him another picture of Koran that show favouritism to Christianity and Jesus. I keep stressing that all other faith guide and brainwash people that we can try to become a better person or sin less to gain more certainty to be accepted by God. I pointed out in clean cut assertion that better is never enough as God demand perfect. And all human realize and accept we are not perfect and will never be able to return our sinful life back to perfection apart by the redemptive grace of Jesus. I stressed therefor it is important not only to accept and worship a mono-God head, but to admit and accept Jesus is the only way to save us by being our Savior taking over the eternal sin punishment. He was very patience to let me make my conclusion though not readily fully accepted by him, but he clearly has got the message and hopefully reading the tract afterwards will let God to convict him in a miraculous way.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday January 10th 2024 from 1300-1500

Today, only Johnny and Hung were available and we both got many divine encounter chatting opportunities to share His words and testimony. It was a really dramatics and drastic day of street outreach. The weather changed like roller coaster from extreme heat high noon, to stormy flash flooding rain falling, to quiet cooling aftermath then back to a big sunny and shiny great dry afternoon. No matter in whatever circumstances, God's great presence can be sensed when he orchestrated His elected persons to be reached by us for some life changing chats. When I look at the gospel targets list, I just found out to day all of them are mainly from Mainland China except a girl born here but with a father from Hong Kong. It was very rare that for the same day, I could have reached out to the hardest people for gospel yet all with very promising result. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung:

1) First I was led to catch up with a skinny guy by the name of Chan? from Jie Yang??, who claimed to be a Catholic Christian by family heritage. ???. As typical Catholic Christian, he was lack of assurance of salvation????. He was appreciative for my clarification of genuine redemptive grace that we have been saved 100% by the time we received Christ as our Savior.

2) Next was a matured lady from mainland. ????. She was all open and welcome for a gospel chat and was willing to take a tract when the bus came a bit premature before I finished the full gospel. ?????

3) Next I caught up with Wang from mainland China to work here as an IT person. He just lived near around the Sunnybank shopping mall and wandered out to do shopping but got stuck at the bus stop when the weather turned dark with a sudden severe storm pondering down torrential rain causing flash flooding and bus stop was turned into a big splash site. Thus, God let us have the longest chat during the storm and through my gospel sharing as well as my own life testimony, ? Wang could see the presence and the work of God in his own life that God has brought Christian friends living with him here now in Brisbane and his wife back home is also a Christian as such he proudly showed me to his wife through a video call that he had made friend with a pastor. He only has one practical hindrance for him to become a Christian and I ensured him that this is a personal decision between him and God so he should feel free to make this important last step of faith that God has already planned long time for it and NOW is the time.

4) Then I chatted with an ABC girl who claimed to be an atheist. Nevertheless, she still reluctantly listened for the full gospel.

5) Then I was led to catch up with a young girl Wang? from Changsha??, because of this geographical connection, she opened her heart to tell me she has committed mental health issue and is now under treatment before she can resume her study plan here. The Gospel does give her light and hope that she will be set free from both her illnesses as well as the bondage of all depression from sin in flesh.

6) Lastly, I caught up with two black and white girl that does not look like Chinese, but the black girl Chelsea is actually daughter of a Hongkonger father but PNG mother while the white girl Brigette is a local Aussie. Curious enough Chelsea is a Christian while Brigette is a non-believer. I first treated her issue of lack of 100% assurance of salvation and used this to evangelize her non-believer friend with good result. The joyously took selfie group photo with me to show appreciation for our good chat.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday January 3rd 2024 from 1300-1500

Praise and thank God for a fine weather after consecutive days of non-stop flash flooding rain, the four of us, 3 from the Sherwood Methodist Church, namely Johnny Qin Hao and Shu Yi, teamed up with Hung from CFC to do our regular street outreach at Sunnybank. The effect of team work orchestrated by God was prominent. For several occasion, God moved us to render back up supports for each other when approaching a particular person from a certain home town or language group area of one of our team members. i.e. Qin Hao from Kweilin and Hung from Hong Kong. We also thank God to move and empower us to have full commitment joining this outreach team especially for Shu Yi, who has never absented from and week during his School Summer Holiday Term break. She may be going back to work next week so pray for God continuous anointing her with the heart to keep preaching gospel in here day to day life even though not be able to do it on the street until next school term break.

1) Unknown Asian man not willing to chat but still manage to share the purpose of my approaching for a chat and the Spirit moved him to take a tract to read by himself, hopefully with the enlighten of the Spirit.

2) Then I was led to approach another mainlander middle aged lady?????? who surprisingly was very open and receptive to listen to the full gospel and took a tract.

3) Martin an Anglican Christian whom I met before, greeted me but just barely able to have a brief catch up before his bus came. But miraculously, he returned to Sunnybank to fetch a lost item and we met again at the bus stop. This time I had more time to carry on with the diagnosis of his assurance of salvation which he failed only about 80%. He was thankful for my clarification and voluntarily took a tract again to revise on the sharing and teaching for his benefit.

4) I was led to connect with a HongKonger by the name of Fu?. He admitted he is a Christiaan but has been away from church for a while. His church in HKG is called 611. He also failed upon my test of assurance of salvation. ???. I anyway apart from clarification of the gospel and real meaning of salvation, I also shared my personal testimony to encourage him to return to walk with God to grow towards spiritual maturity.

5) Next I approach two girls one is cross breed from Thailand and another was a Korean girl. It was a pity after brief rapport building chat, the bus arrived. But both were willingly to take a tract to read in following up on my brief introduction of gospel.

6) Rejected by a group of mainlanders from Northeastern China, whom I had mistaken as Johnny's friend of the church. Even though they rudely rejected me, I still thanked God for this pre-matured approach that might still serve His purpose to this group of arrogantly youngster.

7) Next came two ladies from Kweilin?? Guangxi to visit relatives here ??. One who did all the talking with us is by the name of Pang?. Once I found her home town, which is same as Qin Hao, I referred the two ladies to Qin and they talked enthusiastically. When I overheard from their Kweilin dialect that they have Christiaan In-Law relative, I was moved to jump in to guide the conversation to challenge for conversion as God has already targeted them and intend to bless them through their Christian relative. I trusted God gave me to urge to stress the need of salvation for whoever that admitted themselves are not perfect. The team work were proven working very well.

8 ) I approached another Mainlander male wearing a T Shirt of Mixed Martial Art ????. Though I was still rejected, I believed God has his plan for this guy.

9) Then I was led to chat with an Indonesia lady who looks more like European or Middle East Woman. She is a Muslim, but she remained open and willingness to listen to the gospel and hear the way Christianity stood out from all other religions. She also took a tract to supplement what she heard from me.

10) Finally Edwin referred me to two Cantonese speaking people who happened to be also Hongkongers. ??. Obviously, they were both non-religious, and rejected me in the first go, But I tried to use Hongkonger identity to keep the conversation alive doing my personal testimony. At the end, they ask for pardon to carry on with their own conversation on other important personal matter. They again also willing to take a tract to supplement on what I had shared with them,

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Dec 27th 2023 from 1300-1500

We rested for Toowong on Boxing and resume regular street gospel outreach today at Sunnybank. Praised be to God that Shu Yi had been called and moved to join us on regular basis during holiday period. So, again Johnny Shu Yi and Hung were teamed up to day and God did introduce sort of Team Work amongst us. The Spirit put on our heart to care for those elderly and weak people first instead of rushing towards gospel. A local Aussie senior person was approached by Shu Yi to help him out to find a certain bus route that he may need to go in the near future. He just wanted to come to Sunnybank to find out where the bus stop is. Shu Yi helped him out in the first instance but his desired route was not found on the schedule sheet at the bus stop where we do outreach. Finally, the senior Aussie man resort to asking the bus driver for the info. The bus driver also took all the trouble to stop the bus and came out from the bus to use his own iPhone to search and located the bus stop of the desired bus route of that elder man called John. I thought I knew the location of that bus stop so I volunteer to walk him up to that bus stop. While we were walking, I of course took the chance to test for his assurance of salvation. As a senior Anglican Chrisitan, he has 100% of assurance of salvation but when asked why, he said it is because of his Christian family upbringing and he has been a good Chrisitan member of the church. With this answer, it exposed that he really may not fully understood the basic doctrine of salvation that we are saved by grace through faith and not by our own good deeds. Anyway, then we arrived at the bus stop and to find out tit was not the one that the bus driver indicated. I immediately knew it should be the other one just near MacDonald at Time Square. Since John was out of breath after walking for a while, so he needed a good rest staying at that wrong bus stop. I promised to find out the right bus stop and take photo of the bus schedule for him. Finally, I did my job but when I returned to that wrong bus stop. John disappeared, most likely getting on to the bus at that "Wrong" bus stop to go home. Anyhow, I still trusted God may have a better plan for John in lieu of my premature help. God always makes all things work together for the benefit of those who seeks and obeys Him.

Apart from those episodes, we all have numerous divine opportunities to reach out to people that were apparently elected by God to chat with us. The first target from Hunan China just arrived at Brisbane and he has never heard of the gospel but Johnny had a long chat with him leading to fruit bearing result. Anyway, recap below is the Battle Log of Hung for today: -

1) First was a Korean who is a non-believer despite 75% of the Koreans has become Christian. He stayed put to listen to the gospel and took a tract at the end.

2) Next was a UQ student from Yinchuan, Ningxsia(???????) She said she has been approached many times by Johnny and Shu Yi lately. She is still sceptical about any religion and she was curious to know id we are paid to do so. (?????) I rightly explained to her that our passion is not monetary driven, or not even charity driven, but mission driven to share the gospel to alert all people especially those self-labelled as "Good Persons" that no one are safe but all people in the human race are all doomed for the punishment of help as long as we are not perfect. I reckoned the Spirit did touch and moved her heart in a short moment when the bus came. She asked for another tract to read despite she said she got several already. Pray that God's purpose and plan for her will pan out according to His Will for her.

3) Then I caught up with a mainlander female who claimed to be a Buddhist.?????I stressed to her that Buddhism and all other religion are good but only good at guiding people to be a good person, yet none of them address the issue of sin with a solution. The bus came at that time and she took a tract to read.

4) Next is John the Anglican as I shared about him above. It is the team work between Shu Yi and Hung to serve this elderly man first about his secular need to find the right Bus schedule information, then his real understanding of salvation.

5) I was led to chat with another couple with husband called also John from Philippine. He passed the assurance of salvation test and I Introduced Kairos to him.

6) Then, God miraculously brough a Sichuan Chengdu ????young lady to me as such I could share my personal witness of helping out to the Schuman earthquake disaster relief. She is an UQ and knew that I am an alumnus of Master of counselling. I even shared about the mechanism of the Chrisitan counselling course for healing the hurt and distortion of one’s emotion because of early life traumatic experience. She was drawn into the stories especially the rationale of the counselling rehabilitation technique. ??????? In the end, she appeared open and receptive to the gospel and took a tract to revised what I shared with her.

7) Next came another Filipino couple of Catholic background but seemed to understand the salvation well, they were keen to keep chatting with me but a bus came and they ran to find out if this was their route, if not they would come back for me. Unfortunately, it was the right bus for them, so they waved me good bye.

8 ) Next was a UQ student from mainland China, who was a bit too nervous to chat but still took a tract.

9) Then I caught up with an ABC of Taiwanese origin. He is open but our conversation again was interrupted by the quick arriving bus.

10) Finally I caught up with yet another Taiwan young man of grade nine. His maturity is beyond his real age. And he remained open and receptive to the gospel.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Dec 20th 2023 from 1300-1500

A hot summer day with high noon heat wave, but more so, it was an afternoon of amazing grace bringing blessing to both the gospel targets and the Gospel Team workers of three, namely Johnny, Shu Yi and Hung. The presence of the Spirit was strongly sensed with the manifestation of His overwhelming Mission Power. God moved an led an Aussie migrant woman Emily with mixed blood of Australian, Solomon Island and India to support Shu Yi while she was preaching to an Indian young girl. We all thought Emily was either a friend or relative of that Indian girl but the fact is they are not related. Emily was simply moved by the Spirit to join Shu Yi with silent prayer and she herself was moved to tear when the message of the gospel touch her heart. She actually was also aware of Johnny and Hung. God further moved Emily to greet with Hung and expressed her admiration and appreciation of our street outreach ministry. I was in turn moved to invite her to join us as she work nearby. She got our ministry time between 1300-1500 and promised she will join us as long as on any Wednesday, she is free during that ministry periods. This was really a big blessing and life uplifting and confident boosting divine action to encourage not only Shu Yi but we as well. We all praised and gave glory to God> As for Johnny and Hung, we all got very good and fruit bearing conversation. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung:-

1) My first gospel targets were two girl one from Hong Kong ??and the other from Shandong???it took me a while to realize this and switched back from Cantonese to Mandarin. But I could only manage starting the topic and end up leaving with them the tracts.

2) Then I was led to chat with a lady from Dailin China.????. tp do vocational study here at Tafe. Though she is a non-religious person, but she admitted no one is perfect ???????and she acknowledged that there should be a consequence to hold us responsible for our imperfection of sins. It leads to the conclusion, we human race all need salvation by Jesus. As soon as we reached this contentious, her bus came.

3) Then God moved both Emily and me to catch up after she finished with her engagement with Shu Ji to preach the gospel to an India woman as shared above. I was surprised she noticed me, but she confirmed she saw me sharing gospel with another lady at a distance. It definitely is the manifestation of mission power to draw her to affiliate with us and hopefully will join our gospel outreach team next week.

4) The I chipped into the conversation of three boy that again amazed me that they are cross breed of Vietnamese and Pilipino. They behaved a bit playful, but I still managed to share them the nutshell of the gospel with tract given to them.

5) Then I was greeted by a stranger Chines old lady with a mast. She identified herself as Madam Che ? the member of the CCCB Coopers Plains???. She was simply moved by the spirit to render me and the other two gospel warriors the Support as a sister in Christ. We only chatted for a short while as her movement is restricted because of a lame leg. She needs to get up earlier to catch the incoming bus.

6) Zane is a local Australian who travelled overseas with his mum at the age of 14 for world exposure. He has Christianity influence by his grandfather. Again, it was the work of the Holy Spirit who moved him to stay put skipping several bus to keep chatting with me. Although he confessed, he is not yet a believers, but when I shared the gospel and other related Bible story event, he basically was aware of most of them as such it was pretty effective to reconstruct the Biblical World View and God's mission to the world through the incarnation of Jesus Christ to come and die for us. Apparently, his heart has been softened and prepared to absorb all the teachings that God wants him to know and make an informed decision to accept Jesus as his personal saviour. We took a selfie and I prayed in heart for his imminent last step of action faith to accept Jesus as his personal Saviour,

7) Then I bumped in two MacGregor State school kids. They are both pure and open hearts for the gospel. They also took track to revise for what I shared with them.

8 ) Then I was led to approach yet another Mainland China ?? Male. Surprisingly, he was also very open and receptive to the gospel. Since I could manage to share the nutshell of the gospel, he voluntarily took tract to read and ponder on the issue of Sin I stress him to reflect.

9) Last but not the least I caught up with Mia an Indonesian lady from Jakarta. She is a tradition Muslim following the dressing code for a Muslim woman in the public. But she did not shy away from chatting with a stranger male. She has totally not disagreement to the gospel shared, but when asked if there is similar kind of message related to forgiveness of sin. She thought there is but could not be sure which proved by the explanation of Siddique in the past few days that very little Muslim really read and understand the Bible. At least there was no sign of hatred of Chrisitan and Jesus but an open mind to listen to the Bible.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Dec 6 29th 2023 from 1300-1500

We were over joy to have Shu Yi and Qin Hao rejoining us making a strong team of five. Originally, we could have even a bigger team of 6 or even 7. But Peace could not come in the last minutes because of ad hoc need to take care of her Father-in-law after dental treatment resulting in unceasing bleeding. Pray that she will have peace and composure to carry her Father-in-law over this unpredicted aftermath of a simple dental procedure.

Nevertheless, for the five of us, it was both a tough and fund day. Tough was referring to the scorching hot high noon sun. Fun was the ever presence of God guiding us to work as a team to match language choice amongst our gospel target and the complementing chat with same people by the team members achieving added effect to sowing the seed of gospel message to our target people of all Nations. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung:

1) I was led to chat to a family of four from Malaysia that Johnny had approached briefly first. I just saw the father explained to his teenage children the message of the Gospel tract. It aroused my interest to ask if they are Christians and if they understand the salvation perfectly as such if they have assurance of salvation. The answer of the father was a bit ambiguous that they had obtain the same tract in Malaysia which is impossible as I know OPN 513 has never ministered to Malaysia. But the father changed his wording that similar kind of tracts have been commonly being handed out in Malaysia. He did not confirm he is a fair dinkum Christian but perhaps a seeker or kind of God fearer. I compliment the KL people who can usually command at least 7 languages and dialects which is exactly the case to that Malaysian family. The bus came at that time. I pray that the tract will serve its purpose for that family if they really use heart to read it.

2) Then I was led to a Sri Lankan man that Shu Yi has approached but was declined to chat with her. I anyway was moved to make another approach and the Spirit this time softened his heart to have a long chat with me allowing me to share the full gospel. The ice breaking avenue is genuine identification with his ethnicity and open up the chat box on some softer matter, like his purpose of visit. Actually, he accompanies his wife to come to do a Master degree study at UQ and has just arrived for a few weeks. His initial hesitation to chat with Shu Yi may be ethnic custom driven that he should not chat with a stranger lady. But his attitude to the gospel was open and receptive taking a tract at the end to read.

3) Then I was led to catch up with Sunny from Hong Kong. Initially he was hesitant to respond in Mandarin because of the HKGer Complex. I explained to him we speak Mandarin here very often because majority of Mainlander of Mandarin speakers cannot speak Cantonese. Once clicked and rapport established, his reaction to the gospel was positive and receptive. He took a tract of course at the end.

4) Marco was a local Aussie and I used again the fair dinkum Aussie slang to draw his interest and attention. The conversation went on very delightfully, and I was able to start the gospel sharing but only half done when his bus arrived. But when he replied and told me his name, he used the gimmick that he name is same for the Arch Angel, that I urge him to find the answer from the tract that if he could go to heaven meeting God and the Angels there. He was overwhelmed with joy and took a quick selfie before he got on to the bus.

5) Next was Mr Xu from Taipei???, he came only on business so our encounter was very special. He was open to the gospel message which I more or less finished sharing it. He rush boarding the bus without taking a tract.

6) Then I was led to approach Melany who is a local Aussie from Cairns but now got to study at the Griffith Gold Coast Campus. I told her every Thursday; I pass by her Uni to Australia Fair for street outreach. Then she told me she is a Chrisitan and answered my first diagnosis question confidently with100% assurance of salvation. But when asking the 2nd question why. She showed a completely wrong understanding of salvation by grace through faith alone. She claimed her assurance is form his compliance to the Bible teaching and service at the church. I cross check if she is of Catholic background and the answer is positive, so no wonder she has such fatally wrong fake assurance. She anyway thanked and appreciated for our friendly conversation and took a selfie with me wearing a big asserting smile ,

7) Last but not the least, I was referred by Qin Hao to chat with a HKG family of three with the wife coming to Australia to study at Griffith while husband with the daughter are accompanying family members. We spent time in catching up with current affairs in HKG but then left no time in gospel. But the husband still took the tract and promise to have a good look at it.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Nov 29th 2023 from 1300-1500

It was a new day of grace that God let the sun out with a warm and dry weather good for street outreach. More so, we have Rev Samuel Chiu joining us the 2nd time to do street outreach. He was now completely adapted to the street outreach setting and has become very bold and swift to approach people of all Nations for Gospel sharing. His English is excellent and effective for chatting with English speaking people. Johnny and Hung were all amazed at God's power to have moved and empower Rev Chiu to become a gospel warrior sharing gospel fearlessly to whoever coming to the Bus Stop. In a word, all the three of us had many fruitful conversation leading people to Christ or just in short of the last step of faith.

1) I was led to approach Christine a local Aussie girl whom Edwin once approached in the previous week. She was readily moved and with heart softened to receive Christ but was still blocked by a wrong concept that she is still not good enough to become a Christian. But she treasured the gospel message so she keeps the tract folded in her small lady wallet and showed it to me to support she is readily taking the gospel message seriously. I did not know the issue blocking her but the Spirit moved me to share along that line and finally get to the point that no one can wait before they become a better person to become a Christian. Rather no one is perfect enough to deserve the eternal life which is by grace trough faith given to us as a gift at the cost of Jesus paying the price of His life to die for us taking our place to receive the punishment of our sins. So, all she need to do is to simply admit herself a sinner beyond redemption by self-perfection, but surrender her life to accept Jesus. Then the eternal life as a gift and heavenly citizenship as a new identity will be granted to her. She was over joy to finally understand the points of the gospel and I urge her to take the last step of faith action to receive Christ when she had to leave to board the bus.

2) Next was a Mainlander up for summer term class. He just took a tract to read and pray for future encounter.

3) Then I approached a Korean girl who claimed we met before. But her English level is a bit week to make the communication a bit difficult. Nevertheless, I still managed to revise the nutshell of the gospel with here.

4) Orchard a Nigeria Catholic Christian who has 100% assurance of salvation but the reason he believes is his obedience to follow God's rule so it was utterly wrong to think that his salvation is dependent on his good work and or faithful service in the church. It was good I could clarify and correct his wrong understanding of salvation.

5) Then I caught up with an old lady from Shanghai who has migrated to Australia. So she is comparatively open minded for Gospel thought most time was spend in build rapport with her.

6) ?? was once a gospel target I met at Sunnybank and brought him to CFC twice. He has now settled down at BCAC as it is the nearest church that he can go on foot. I encouraged him to seek not only secular job for living but spiritual work for spiritual life growth.

7) Next was an Australian born Vietnamese abv. As an Australian, she was comparatively open for the gospel which I could manage to share half of it when her bus arrived. She took a tract anyway.

8 ) Two Cantonese speaking matured age woman just fooled around to disguise their nationality and avoid serious or genuine gospel chat. One as non-believer simply walked away, leaving one self-claimed Christian to chat with me, but her biblical knowledge is very weak but instead she challenged my gospel sharing is not orthodox. I suspect she actually is from a Sect or a nominal Christian without much spiritual intake.

9) Two local Aussie lady but one of them behave and spoke in very arrogant claiming that she is readily a Christian and learn all about the faith for 20 years and she did not want to hear anything form me. But upon testing of her assurance of salvation, she answered only 90 % which obviously showed that she is not yet a well learned Christian theologically speaking. Despite my clarification and explanation, she seemingly simply intended to disregard them all.

10) Last but not the last I caught up with Johnson and fallen back Christian from Hong Kong, coming here for working holiday. He was brought up from Christian school and once attend church regularly, but in the recent years, he has stop attending church and feeling a bit alienated from God. Thanks God using me to rekindle his faith in God through going through the Bible to prove that God in above time and space and everything like creation, redemption are all in h=His Good hands. Pray that God will move and lead him to Christ if he has not done so before yet and find a spiritual home to kick off his journey of sanctification by discipleship training.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Nov 22nd 2023 from 1300-1500

Praise be to God exhibiting Mission Power to pave the way for us to do street outreach at Sunnybank today.

First the weather turned completely fine with Sun shine despite the weather forecast was 5 consecutive rainy day stretching on from Monday. Yesterday we got the window opportunity to have a dry gap for the Toowong ministry. Today, it was an all-dry afternoon with no scorching heat after so many rainy periods.

Second, God moved the first young member of CFC to join the street ministry at Sunnybank for the first time. Out of the love of God, she took all the trouble to come from Northlake to Sunnybank with here mum. And God moved first Amy, then Johnny to share the gospel extensively to the mum of Peace (Xiao Dan)

Though the team of four, namely Hung, Amy, Peace & lastly Johnny, arrived at different time. But finally, God used us as a team to cover as many lost souls as possible during the 2 hours open air outreach. Actually, in the beginning I gave Peace a briefing of the rule and policy of street outreach before I led her over for the first gospel target

Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung: -

1) We were led to approach an Islander, mostly a Samoan who is a Seven Days Adventist Christian. I went straight to test for his Assurance of salvation, but it seemed that he did not get the question but instead, referring to some other teachings unrelated to the question. All I can deduct from his respond is that he has no assurance of salvation and do not have full teaching on salvation.

2) Then I took the chance to rest the assurance of salvation of Peace, Xiao Dan. She claimed she have 99.99 % assurance of salvation which was still an incorrect answer. I clarified with her that the effect of our conviction accepting Jeus as our Saviour is being saved from eternal death punishment of our sin and immediately been granted the heavenly citizenship simply because of Jeus' work, not our good deeds. So, it seems that there is brushing up needs for Peace on many fundamental Christian doctrinal teachings.

3) Then I caught up with an Aboriginal Atheist from Community near Cairns. It was rare to have Aboriginal being an Atheist. It was a pity his bus came too soon and I lost the chance for more gospel sharing.

4) I caught up with a local Ausie old couple but his bus came too quick before I can share the gospel but the old man was willing to take the tract to read.

5) Then I met a Japanese young man who studies at Griffiths. He was surprised with my greetings in fluent Japanese. But we could only have a brief chat before his bus arrived.

6) Then I was able to befriend with a Thailand lady who once worked and then is studying nurse. Nutshell of the gospel was shared and a tract was given to that Thailand lady.

7) Then first Amy then Hung were rejected by an Unknown couple.

8 ) Afterward, I met up with a Korean lived in China for a year as such he can understand Mandarin. He is non-Christian, but still open enough to listen to the gospel and took a track.

9) Then I met up with a young man from Jiangsu????who claimed with chatted before at Toowong. He was thankful for our effort to share with him the gospel.

10)Then I was led to approach a senior lady from Guangdong but does not speak Cantonese as her home town actually is at Liaoning Shenyang. ??????. Surprisingly she was very open and receptive to the gospel message admitting she needs Jesus. She promised to read the tract and ponder to receive Christ.

11) Then I caught up with Two MacGregor High school girls. They were both very open and listen attentively to the gospel

But one seems to have heard about gospel before with Chrisitan family members. I just fell short to find out her status of belief.

12) Two Vietnamese ladies being mistaken as Chinese but still understand Mandrin and took a tract at the end.
