Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Nov 6th, 2024 from 1330-1430

Today, it was Hung alone to serve at Sunnybank while Johnny is overseas and Edwin is preparing for the last Bible College Exam. It was a very special and unique solo outreach having connecting with 3 persons only but all had spent unusual longer chatting time as recap below: -

Katy a Vietnamese girl coming for English study. She listened the full gospel and showed great openness and appeared very receptive to the Gospel despite she is a Buddhist follower.

Then I connected with an Indonesian girl who has migrated to Australia already as such she also showed openness towards the gospel which was half preached as it was interrupted by the arrival of her friend.

Then God led me to make friend with Shinga, who is from Kyoto , Japan coming here for working holiday. He has just arrived in Australia and Brisbane for 2 days. It was beyond doubt a divine appointment for me to meet Shinga as he was wondedring at the bus stop if he can get on the bus without a Gocard? Then where to buy a Goward. I was moved to put aside the evangelism task and helped him out to sort out all his query and practically led him to enter Sunnybank Plaza mall to buy Gocard at the Newsagent. He actually had an appointment to inspect a house that he might share room with another person. Luckily, the appointment was at 1630 so God allow ample time for me to share the full gospel to him. Praise be to God that Shinga readily has the heart to pursue Christianity, so my gospel sharing reinforced his desire to connect with God and a Christian church. He thanked for mu help and vowed to seriously ponder to receive Christ and he is confident God will lead us to meet again somewhere around in Sunnybank Plaza.

Battle Log at Sunnybank on Oct 30, 2024, I had to take a break from the street outreach to see my Urology Specialist Dr Wesley Hii to listen to his verdict on the last day surgery result. Praise be to God and thanks to the concerto oneness prayers of all brothers and sisters that all cancer cells no matter at the outlet of the ureter or inside the bladder have all been completely cleansed. Thus I am declared safe again for this present moment in time. Another biopsy will be arranged in next Feb or March to monitor if there is any chance of relapse. Thanks again for the care and loving kindness interceding prayers and I will certainly continue to offer my all to keep serving God to mobilize every one to have a go to live a life on mission with God.

Before I went for the consultation, I did outreach for a while by myself and Johnny was occupied by other family affair.

1) First I was moved to approach a Korean girl who claimed herself a Christian but lack assurance of salvation which was basically clarified hastily because of bus arrival.

2) Then I approached a Filipino Catholic man. I also touched base on assurance of salvation which by no exception was not there.

3) Then I was led to catch up with a East Timor man also of Christian back ground and again he is also lack of assurance.

4) Last but not the least I caught up with Sam a local Aussie high school boy who is not religious but appeared very open and receptive to the gospel. He learnt Mandarin at school, so I use this to build better rapport and pray that he will be moved to make the right decision to accept Jesus.

There were a few rejections but it is normal.

Edwin joined Johnny and Hung today at Sunnybank though a bit late. As usual, Edwin was quick to make approach with average shorter chat, but every now and then, God still gives him long conversation especially with those younger persons. I got several long chats today all with good results as recap below:

1) An middle aged person from Guangzhou having migrated to Australia like myself was delighted to have a long chat with me. Our conversation circled around Changes taking place in Hong Kong that has resulted in great exodus trend as the backdrops of the sinfulness of human races that is beyond redemption but Jesus our Savior are still willingly come and died for us to set us free from the bondage of sins.

2) Then I was moved to approach Mr. Zhou? from Taiwan? who is UQ students but renting a room in Sunnybank for cheaper rent. He is non-religious but his heart is fairly open and receptive to the Gospel message.

3) Betty , a local Aussie girl working at Coles. She is non religious too but she appeared equally open and receptive to the gospel.

4) Then I was led to approach a Fijian mum and daughter both were open and delightful to have a chat with me. Despite they are of Hinduism background, but they were open and receptive to the gospel.

5) Then I caught up with a Bangladesh young man who has just come to study at UQ. He listens for a while but began to show impatience and even stood up to leave. But, at that moment , a UTE across the road seemed to have the piston inside the engine broken, making a loud metallic crashing noise. It swirled to crash on the kerb side Infront of the bus stop. If this accident happened on our side of the road, it might possibly have crashed unto bus stop where we were there chatting. So life is not guarantee of hassle free. We should take priority to address the life issues I had just shared with the Bangladesh UQ student..

6) Finally caught up with a couple from Hong King. They claimed to be Buddhist followers . Only have time for a brief sharing of the nutshell of the Gospel

With Hail storm and heavy rain warning liked yesterday, Johnny and Hung still ventured to team up for our regular street outreach at Sunny bank, both were given ample divine encounters to share the gospels and witnessing to people of all nations with amazing results. God held up the storm until we finished to show His promise to be with us whenever we were on mission with God. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung:

1) Local Aussie couples, one of Mauritius Hinduism background and the other of western ethnicity from Gladstone coming to Brisbane for work. And they just arrived for a few days. The attention were diverted to finding the right route of Bus to Kangaroo Point as such they once interrupted my gospel sharing to try to figure out if they were on the right sight of the bus stop. I of course could not but abort my gospel sharing to help them out but the man was particularly skeptical about my traffic direction advice which in a sense upset me and asked for their faith on a local Aussie for 30 years like me even though I seldom ride bus but direction wide, I am all pretty clear about it. They ended up rushing on the wrong bus despite of my advice. Miraculously, they stopped the bus and got off not far from the bus stop without my knowledge. And the Mauritius Hinduism was moved by the Spirit to come back to me top apologies for ignoring my advice in Good Will. Then I was given the 2nd chance to share the unfinished gospel message that he felt amen to listen this time on. So, these are the numerous Mission Power exhibition to demonstrate the great power of the Gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit.

2) May like me has called Australian home when she move from Portuguese to Aussie 4 years old of age. She is a QUT student, though non-religious but very open and receptive to the gospel message and thanks me for sharing with her by taking a friendly selfie with her.

3) A middle age man from Taichung Taiwan was humble and friendly to let me share him the full gospel despite he is non-religous.

4) Then I was led to approach a Filipino who is extraordinarily a non Christian. He was ok to listen but too rush because of the quick arrival of his bus.

5) Then I caught up with a UQ student from Huanan , she did not resist to listen though not taking a tract.

6) Then Johnny referred me to a Lady form Hong Konger, It was a pity her quick arriving bus did not give me enough time to share,

7) Mia a Japanese girl come for study was given Japanese tract but seemingly she took it half heartedly.

8 ) Caught up with another Japanese girl but she was not even willing to chat despite I greeted her in fluent Japanese first.

9) Then I have a long chat with a Vietnamese Australian born Vietnamese who speaks English and was all receptive to the gospel.

10) Mans an Afghanistan young student whom Johnny has chatted several time before was willing to have a conversation with me allowing me to revise the gospel one again to him. He appeared all open and very receptive though still a Muslim as an individual and as a family member.

We were overjoy to have like minded Street outreach warrior joining us to day. They are from Methodist Church in Melbourne led by Rev Hung. Only two of them joined us at the bus stop with the rest of the team stayed inside the Sunnybank Plaza shopping mall. There were three turning us from our local team , namely Johnny Shu Yi and Hung. There were kind of team work amongst us chatting with the same people at different time reinforcing their understanding of the gospel and assurance of salvation, i.e.. for the Serbia girl. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung

1) First approach was a Korean lady. not sure what religion adherent she is. But open and receptive to the gospel.

2) Then a lady from Taiwan who has heard the gospel and chatted with us a few time with initial reluctant to revise but finally allowed me to repeat the gospel message.

3) The chatted briefly with A person from Guangzhou .

4) A lady with a daughter also claimed having chatted with us but I still managed to rekindle her memory on the Gospel.

5) Another Mainlander young man claimed he has done comparative religious study . He asked if I am Catholic or protestant. I counter check if he understand the doctrine of being saved by grace through faith. but his knowledge about many religions seems to have no direct advantage for him to dwell firmly on the only true one about Christ.

6) Then I caught up with a girl from Jie Jiang Ningbo and have a good chat.

7) Next were two UQ students girls from Anfei and Hunan , rapport was build because of my many year of ministry spent in Changsha and Hengyang.

8 ? Corner a young man from Hong Kong at young age as such no good Cantonese anymore. Surprisingly very humble, open and receptive to the Gospel and more than happy to take a selfie with me.

9? The I caught up with a Kenya Christian who are in lack of 100% assurance of salvation but clarified , then our chat was interrupted by a long phone call,

10?Fianlly caught up wit a girl from Serbia of Eastern Orthodox background. Shu Yi actually had chatted with her before that I was not aware of then as such she can have 100% assurance of salvation which was actually taught and prompted by Shu Yi. Her reason to have 100% was still not clear that needed my further explanation.

Again just Johnny and Hung teamed up to serve at Sunnybank. Johnny had many fruitful chats including an over half an hour to 45 min chat with a Christian from Sudan asking many theological questions. Hung did a short round as needed to make prearrangement with the hospital for BCG chemo therapy starting next Wednesday.

1) First led to chat with a man from Uzbekistan. It is a Central Asian nation and former Soviet republic. It's known for its mosques, mausoleums and other sites linked to the Silk Road, the ancient trade route between China and the Mediterranean.

2) Then a long chat with an elderly from Guangzhou, China who claimed we had a chat 3 years ago but he kept seeing us in Sunnybank. Mindset was hard to change that he insisted all everyone can do is just a good person and don't care about anything. I nevertheless used cancer treatment to illustrate that sin , even one in a life time still will have serious consequence of eternal separation from God.

3) Dan from India now studying at Griffith appeared receptive and open for the gospel. receptive

4) Then another long follow up chat with Mr. Li ?from Taiwan as he had chatted with Johnny ?many time before. Working hard to change his mindset as a good person.

Today, it returned to normal for Johnny and Hung to team up at Sunny bank. The weather already turned very warm and good for open air outreach. Both of us had non-stop opportunities to share with people of different nations. For Hung majority today were from Mainland China. And most of them appeared open and receptive as recap per Battle log below.

1) I was led to approach an elder man by the surname of Wang ? from Shanxi Tai Yuan He was only visiting his son's family but was very open for interaction and discussion with receptive attitude.

2) Then a longhair guy by the name of Guo?from Jiangsu Nanchong doing Marketing at UQ . He appeared also very sensible and rational in mind and open for discussion. He seemingly admitted the gospel is a good news for all imperfect good persons.

3) South Africa lady only declared she is a Christian after I shared the full Gospel. I quickly tested for her assurance of salvation which is only 95 %, but the bus arrived leaving no time for me to clarify and she on the other hand also not care to clarify.

4) Then I was ignore by a very cold face girl from Mainland China in comparison to the others today. Perhaps it was a contrast God wanted me to know that he already blessed me with many humble and teachable mainlanders.

5) Then I was led to connect with a bearded young UQ student from Henan He claimed himself a religious guys accepting concurrently the Taoism, Buddhism and Christianity. , he knew mixing up religions is not advisable but he claimed he did not have enough clue to make a choice while he has relatives affiliating with all three religion. but he was extremely frank and friendly

6)Then I was led to approach a lady from Taiwan who claimed she once chatted with one of us, but not me and basically understands and accepts the message of the tract. I encourage her to pray for conviction to make here final step of faith.

7) Next was a Catholic Christian but behaved very self protective and lack assurance. Our conversation was anyway interrupted by a call.

8 ) Then I connected with a tall young guy by the surname of Li ? from Liao Ning who also appeared very open for chat and interactive discussion .

9) Next was a Japanese lady? but her bus arrived too quick even for handing out a tract.

10) Finally connected with a man from USA but showed no interest to chat, I anyway still use " fair dinkum" to get him engaged but then my chat was interrupted by Johnny asking me to minister to an old lady living in Wynnum but now attending a Korean church at Logan.
