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.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 24/5/2023 from 1300-1500


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.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 5/4/2023 from 1300-1500

Today and possibly for the next couple of weeks during school holiday, Amy cannot accompany me so I will have to do street outreach solo at Sunnybank. I prayed that more Chinese Maninder will be open up for gospel. But at the end there were mixed result for gospel to mainland Chinese while people of all other nations remained opened to embrace the gospel. Recap below is the Battle Log: -

1) I was first led to approach a Columbia guy who appeared friendly though still had some degree of scepticism about religious matter. I was only able to brief the nutshell of the gospel to him as the bus arriving very quick. He anyway took a tract for reading afterwards.
2) Then I approached a Chinese looking woman who claimed she is a Singaporean but was originally from China. She came just a couple of weeks for sightseeing. Yet she seemed to have lost her way coming to this bus stop that will take her to an opposite direction than her targeted visiting address. I directed her to go over the pedestrian bridge to ask for more direction at the bus stop across Main Roads. She was thankful for my help as such she let me share the nutshell of the Gospel to her and got a tract before heading her way to the bus stop on the East side.
3) Then I was moved to approach yet another Mainlander Chinese from Guangxi??. He is a Qut student who told me upfront he is not interested in religious matter. He even joked around to say that he does not mind going to hell. I returned joke to him saying he is not the only crazy guy who does not mind going to hell. I said Jesus came to live as a man for the purpose of dying for us and went to hell willingly but with a mission so that he can take our place to receive punishment of our sin. So thankful for the Spirit guiding me to break the resistant barrier of that guy but still subtly shared him the gospel.
4) Alias an ABC with parents from Hong Kong. He appeared opened and humble to listen to the full gospel and looked impressed. Pray for the follow up work of the Holy Spirit to convict him to accept Jesus.
5) Then I approached another mainlander who was the only person standing at the bus stop. He was from North Eastern province of China. Actually, he was with her girl friend who got a seat. He appeared impartial for a chat. And finally happy to listen to my gospel sharing. But her girl friend purposely dragged him away and cut our conversation short.
6) Then I turned to yet another Western person called Leon at the bus stop. He lived in Hong Kong for a long while and returned to Australia by 1964. His Cantonese is actually not very good, but I was surprised he can read our Chinese tract in Mandarin. So, I confirmed with him if he is a Christian and a gospel co-worker which he joyously answered yes.
7) Lastly Aron a local Aussie high school girl appeared very open and receptive to the Gospel which she later disclosed it was the first time she heard the gospel sharing. She promised to ponder deeply at home to consider if she will accept Jesus as her personal Saviour and Lord of her Life.
8 ) I also approached a Korean woman, whose English is not good . I anyway still managed to connect with her through other Korean related matter like the big Korean Church on Logan Road next to the Eight Miles Plains Methodist Church. She anyway politely declined my invitation for conversation at the end.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 29/3/2023 from 1300-1500

Today, Pastor Amy of my CFC church could join me as her younger son got placement at a Kindergarten. We started to serve at the same West Side Bus stop first so that we can render mutual support and take picture for each other. Then Amy still was moved to go over to the East side like last time. God graciously answered our prayers to give her a taste of mission accomplishment by leading Brooke a local Aussie young girl to Christ with a conversion prayer. Before that, she was a bit down as she seemed to have achieve nothing in all aspect of her ministry within and without the CFC church. But God immediately showed her unusual thing could happen and led her to approach Brooke who was in her low status in her late life. The gospel message touched her and she asked if she can simply receive Christ at any time so Amy just right away led her to do the conversion prayer. As I shared yesterday, on the spot conversion is rare in our street outreach ministry especially it is also our policy not to hasten, not to mention to force people to rush the decision to accept Jesus. Yesterday I already shared that God blessed Winnie by leading one of the fruits of gospel Celine who received Christ after the street outreach sharing and she has now been baptized and joining a local Chinese Church in St Lucia. So, with these surprised bonuses, we will more so feel at ease to simply passing on the message under the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and let God do the harvest job in His time. I was also blessed by Ann a choir team member of the SIC who came forwards to show her appreciation of our selfless street outreach work. I told her actually, not just us but every Christian should wake up and get involved in day-to-day evangelism which she unreservedly agreed. I trust our faithful street outreach witness will be used by God to bring awakening to many more people in His time. That is one of the key aims of SM movement or the Kairos training to empower and mobilize all World Christians to leave our comfort zone but engaging into active day to day evangelism to people of all nations without boundary. Recap below is my Battle Log: -

1) I was led to approach a family of 3 generation from Penang Malaysia. They have come just 4 years to Australia. First it was the Mum to chat with me in Cantonese though they are of English-speaking background. Her son listened on by the side as such I switched back to English for the benefit of both. We started learning each other background and then went into the gospel even though their bus seemed to have encounter great delay. But after the nutshell of the Gospel was shared, the mum was interrupted by a phone call. So, I switched to chat with the son who disclose they are of nominal Catholic background. So, I changed approach checking his understanding of assurance of salvation which expectedly is not 100%. I took the chance to clarified the past default of Catholic Faith not only trusting in Jesus but though it was not sufficient adding in the worship of Mary and chipped in a lot of wrong teaching by doing more good deeds or charity. Thanks God the son though young as a High School kid of 18 or 19 years old, he grasped the clarification clearly and appreciate for helping him to regain assurance of salvation depending on the sacrificial death and atoning grace of Jesus alone which is 100% sufficient to set or sin record to zero as such we have been granted back the heavenly citizenship the moment we accept Jesus. I asked the son to share the same to her mum afterwards.

2) Then I turned around to approach a group of youngster students from different place of mainland China. A mature young lady is from Hai Nan ?? but she is not good at Mandarin also not able to speak Cantonese?another big guy is from Shenyang???who took over the conversation after attempting to speak Cantonese to me. Anyway, the chat box was opened and I can have a casual chat with them about Chinese languages then returned to share about the gospel. Other 2 or 3 more girls were also listening with great interest though their bus came a bit too early before I finished the full gospel. The boy anyway willingly took a tract to read.

3) After a few bus arrival and departure, Lady Chang from Taipei ???? was left at the bus stop for me to approach naturally???She said she has her other faith so initially did not prepare to chat. Again I used the soft approach to open the chat box and finally God let me have time to share the full gospel to her.

4) Then I connect with a man from Guangzhou???who was not good at Mandarin. But I still managed to share the gospel to him before his bus arrived.

5) Then a mature young man from Beijing was left alone at the bus stop and the Spirit soften his heart that we can have a long chat at ease. ????He came to study about a year ago???he is very open minded for chatting even about faith. ?????He admitted he has not heard of the gospel before and find it sensible , logical and even credible. So, he took a tract ???and promise to ponder what is the next step when his bus arrived.

6) Then I encountered a typical mainlander young woman with a daughter who coldly rejected my approach for chat. I think God just use her to contrast all other Mainlanders that God has already prepared their heart to listen to the gospel with an open mind and humble heart.

7?I was also blessed by Ann a choir team member of the SIC who came forwards to show her appreciation of our selfless street outreach work. I told her actually, not just us but every Christian should wake up and get involved in day-to-day evangelism which she unreservedly agreed. I trust our faithful street outreach witness will be used by God to bring awakening to many more people in His time.

8 ) Then another young girl left alone at the bus stop who is from Jie Jiang Hangzhou????? ?She already has come for a year to study and show great willingness to hear the gospel sharing as well as some of my testimony.

9)Then I bumped into an Overseas Chinese who preferred to speak in English and get the topic going into gospel. I trusted he might have Christian influence in overseas but not yet a converted Christian. Our chat was interrupted by the bus and he did not take a tract.

10) Finally I was led to chat with a Nepalese young man who claimed himself a Hindu believer. I anyway was able to convince him Hinduism is good but like all other religions except Christianity cannot address the issue of sin. He also admitted and is aware of the quick growth of Christianity after the earthquake 9 years ago as such nowadays, there are already 500,000 Christians in his country. I appealed him to ponder will there be any other way to set our record of sin to zero so that we can be right with God and become His people. He took a tract and pray for God's reaping work on this first fruit of the gospel.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 22/3/2023 from 1300-1500

It was another day lately that I time and again did the Sunnybank Outreach solo. By the grace of God, I got all the four chats that lasted over 15 to 30 minutes. And all of them are Chinese with 3 from mainland and one from Hong Kong. God is turning the tide to bring in more Chinese people for our street outreach.

1) David Kong is actually a friend from mainland China who share the same vision on standing up for democracy. He himself follows the Tibet Buddhism though he is very friendly to people of all religion including me as a Christian pastor. He also came to help out the church before it is sold to Life City Church. Both of us have the 6th sense to meet each other today. It proved spot on and we met at the door step of the Chemist Warehouse. He got injured during work but he got no work compensation as he is only a employee by contract. Now he relies on the Government to subsidy his medical expenses for the on-the-job injury. He is planning to find a remote or outback place to lead a new simple life. I appealed again to him as an old friend that to me, recognizing the fallen nature of human character that called for the atonement salvation of Jesus is the prime most important target for him. I took best use of this divine appointment to recount the core of the gospel message and appeal him to come to our church on Sunday as long as he is free.

2) Li from Beijing 4 years ago to study at QUT was willing to chat even about religious issue. He also shared my observation that Mainlanders are more open and receptive to gospel message to be shared to them in public especially those youngster generation that have experienced the white paper revolution upholding righteousness and basic human right.

3) The Spirit also led me to meet Ms Kong from Hong Kong that I have chatted many time before. This time, I was led to share a full long version of my testimony of receiving Christ. Pray that she will be moved to surrender to accept Christ in His time.

4)Then the Holy Spirit made the bus schedule for 598 encountering a major delay as such it gave me a longer period of over 30 minutes to share with Madam Chen from Shanghai again my full testimony. As she chatted with at least two co-workers before and have got the gospel tract. So, I changed the approach to recount my personal testimony likened as my amazing grace and amazing way. She was impressed to notice that an ordinary person like me can become a servant of God with apostolic compassion to contribute to the Bottom-line blessing to people of all nations.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 15/3/2023 from 1300-1500

Praise be to Lord our God, today Amy joined me and later Jase Lamont and Sam a working holiday from Taiwan also joined us for a short while. Jase is a free-lance gospel out-Reacher doing personal evangelism anywhere in the shopping mall or in public place. He came for replenishment of some more Chinese tracts and ask for a Bible for one of his Chinese fruit of the gospel. Amy chose to work solo on the Eastern side Bus stop leaving me to do at the Western side bus stop. Both of us have good non-stop gospel sharing opportunities. Basically, she ministered to a well-mixed of people group including 2 from Taiwan,??, one from Hing Kong???from Mainland China though having been rejected by another two2???????Ok, one from Yemen???One from Vietnam?? and one from Philippine ?. As for me, I met many Christians today that only a minority have 100% assurance of salivation. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) Steve, an Indian was born of a Christian family but converted to be an Anglican Christian when he has grown up. On testing for his assurance of salvation, he answered he hoped to be 100% certain that means he still lacked 100% assurance. He was pleased to receive my clarification.

2) Mirth is a Filipino of Catholic faith. Yet he is in lack of 100% assurance of salvation as most Catholic Christian do. He thanked for my clarification and took a tract to affirm his understanding of true Christian faith.

3) Then I was moved to approach a man from Jiangsu Nanjing??. He was all ear to listen to the Gospel sharing initially, but was distracted when he spotted the bus coming from a far distance and use it as an excuse to end the conversation.

4) Then I picked up a NZ young man who was originally from South Africa but has now called Australia home. He was waiting for pick up by friend which unfortunately happened too quick before I can finish the gospel sharing. Though I still managed to fast track the conclusion that as sinner, we all need Jesus as our saviour and lord of our life.

5) Chen from Taiwan quickly identified himself as Christiaan. As he passed the assurance of salvation test. He was happy to take some tracts from me to do his own outreach.

6) Followed up on an Indian that Jase had handed out tract. He tried to be excused for chatting claiming his English is not good enough. I still managed to share him the nutshell of the Gospel before his quick arriving bus came.

7) Sancell another Filipino also identified himself as Christian but still lacked assurance of salvation as most Catholic Christians do. He thanked me for clarification of the three-fold deliverance of salvation. That the heavenly citizenship has been granted to us by God thru Christ.

8 ) Then I caught up with a Mainlander from Quang Dung???who is a Graffith student. He was opened and willingly took a tract. ???????

9 ) Last but not the Least, I encountered a Kenya Christian but I was not yet able to test her assurance of Salvation.
