Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday July 8th, 2025 from 1030-1200

Today, I still did my Toowong street gospel outreach by my self instead of with Edwin who originally was free to come due to term break but suddenly became unavailable due to unexpected kid's medical appointment. I also had to cut it short because of my wife medical appointment in the noon time.

Nevertheless, I still had a couple of good and long enough chat with an Indian couples and a young man from Hebei. They were all open and receptive and shared the point I explained to them that even one record of crime will disqualify us for migration to Australia, likewise even just one sin record is enough to set us apart from God losing our heavenly citizenship. As long as we admit that we are not perfect, there is an established need for us to seek help from a perfect being which does not exist in the fallen human race. So it could only be Jesus Christ the son of God who came by virgin birth to incarnate as a perfect human but does not belong to the fallen human race. His mission as planned and prophesized by God as the offspring of woman will come to defeat Satan, by dying on the Cross to be the sacrificial lamb to take our place to receive the eternal death punishment of our sin. Thence the moment we accepted Him as our savior our sin is deemed punished and the record of our sin is reset to zero making us look as a sin free new creation to be right with God and be granted back our long lost heavenly citizenship. The three gospel targets all found no reason to repudiate this Gospel message or rationale to transform us back to a pure and sin free new creation to be right with God and become His children again.

After a couples of rainy day, we had a fairy windy day making the temperature appeared a bit chilling but luckily with a Sunny sky above. It made a good day to outreach though with lesser people flow during term break.

There were an Indian dad playing hide and seek with his troller daughter full of joy and laughter that I felt too inappropriate to interrupt them. But it set the tone for the day that people should be introduced back to our heavenly Father to live a Child like life to be affectionately close to our Father.

All approaches for gospel conversation basically were pleasant and Spirit led with positive result. I was led to chat with a Canadian young man called Faith and a Kiwi youngster, then full gospel chats with a Vietnamese girl and Peddia an Iranian lady who is nonreligious, but open and receptive to the gospel message especially Jesus as our Savior.

Pray that all people heard the gospel will eventually be blessed to receive Christ in God's timing

It was readily the term break of UQ ad such the people flow drastically drop with only a handful around at the bus stop. But still God made it a day of fruitful outreach giving me chance to teach about assurance of salvation for a few Chritians including a Catholic Christian girl from Filipine and an Islander Christian from Naru. Both have 100 %assurance of salvation but different degree of understanding about the holistic salvation plan of God.

It was again a day of early winter chill, but the fire for gospel outreach sustained me as a solo evangelist to keep serving God with His ever presence and empowerment along the whole period on mission with God. It was basically a fretful day though not without hardship and rejections as shown in the Battle Log for today: -

1) Sunny, an ABC with Pa from Shanghai and Mum from Guangzhou but still manageable to speak Chinese , yet I switched back to English to gear up the communication efficiency with her. She is non religious as a family from mainland China, but comparatively she is still very open and appeared receptive to the Gospel.

2) Next was a local young guy who share the logic of the gospel message that no one is perfect as such every one has automatically lost the right to be admitted to the heavenly kingdom that will demand for a perfectly clean no sin record as if the crime free requirement for any migrant applying for PR than citizen to a country.

3) After too smooth outreach than came several outright rejections

4) Then I was led back to a girl who was busy in phone conversation, who initially still allow the conversation to carry on but then decline to carry on when she realize it was going to lead to a chat about God and Jesus claiming she is an Atheist and did not want to engage in religious chat.

5) Then I was led to approach an elderly man from NZ visiting friends in Australia, I suggested to him this is definitely a divine appointment to let us meet and chat. He indicated he is well verse in theological study but claimed he still found a lot of issues without answer. Because of time limit, I went straight to test his assurance of salvation which he struggle to give an assertive answer and the arrival of the bus cut short our conversation. I still pray this incomplete conversation still serves God's purpose in his life.

6) Next was Sam a girl from Europe that I could only manage to give her a quick nutshell of the gospel and she looked receptive despite with a nose ring suggesting she is a post modern person.

7) Last but not the least was Corner a local Aussie who appeared very opens and receptive even to the quick nutshell of Gospel in 1min stressing requirement for heaven is perfect and no one is perfect as such every body in the fallen human race has been disqualified for the heavenly citizenship. Only a perfect person can help to take our place for the imperfection and issue virtually a sin free certificate to guarantee us be justified and reconciled with God regaining the heavenly citizenship the moment we accepted Jesus as our Savior and Lord of our life.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday June 10th, 2025 from 1030-1200

It was a very cold and windy morning but God led me into a heated debate with two young UQ students, one local Aussie from interstate doing Archeology and another Hinduism background girl from Eastern Malaysia who studies science.

It was an interesting combination of cross cultural friendship amongst these two girls, one basically an atheist and one being religious but do not believe in a perfect God head. God gave me this opportunity to listen first to their thinking logic and rationale behind their common attitude of anti-Christ. The archeology student was taught to believe an very old earth thus failed to understand and accept the facts of a young earth through the 6 days creation including the creation of human , rather they still believe in evolution of humankind. They argued that God is not almighty because He cannot create a perfect human being that will not sin and betray Him. As for the Hinduism girl, her rationale is even more weird that God Himself is not perfect as such no need for humankind to be perfect. She even thought God creating woman by taking a rib from Adam is an act of inhumane crime.

God let me observe that when a person whose mind is overwhelmed with the twisted facts imparted to us by the Devil, then they for sure will be blind to the truth of God. But I still realize that this divine appointment was arranged by God, despite there was great difference between our view points, the two girls still were moved to keep the conversation going for almost 45 minutes skipping many bus and only call an end perhaps their class time was due. They sub-consciously felt my genuine positive attitude to exchange view point with them and appeared to be a good listener. Pray that God will path for a second encounter in His Will.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday June 3rd, 2025 from 1030-1200

It was again yet another glorios day of grace for my solo streey outreachat Toowong. Apart from the first approach, all are Chinese students from mainland aparh ftpm one ABC with patents from mainland China. Last Thursday it was barron fruitless outreach also exclusively to mainlanders. God just showed me I should not stereotype mainlanders as unreachable as the Power of the Gospel can break all strong holds. Recap is the Battle log of a victorious day of grace:-

David an Australian born Nigerian (abn) from a Christian Family day back in Nigeria with a Catholic Dad and a Muslim convert mum yet he himself a fair dinkum protestant Christian with clear 100% assurance of salvation knowing he can be forgiven with all sins pardon and record of sins set to zero all because of the recemptove witk of Jesus and by His grace alone.

Next was Shim from Foozhou who has a mumbet of Christian freindsand relatives but she is still a sceptical seeker. She was supposd to take an earliet bus but it was too crowded so she decided to wait for the next making it a devine appointment of 7 minutes to preach her the full gospel convincing het there is no reason for her to be hesitant to make the last step of action faith to receive Christ.沈。福州,有基徒徒親友,等下一班全福音

Next was a girl from Jiejiang but very open to the Gospel even tjougj I pnly had 3 minutes to share. 浙江'開放下周

Next was a man from Shangdon who wad also open for chat snd appeared to be receptive to the Gospel.山東,也願聊

Last but not the least I was led to approach Nathan an abc with parents from Cantonese speaking home town . He is not religious but open for the gospel and is interested to meet again next week to follow up on his action faith decision.

It was still a comparatively more fruitful mission field than Sunnybank. Apart from one single rejection by an Korean guy, all others including those from mainland China were showing openness and receptiveness to the gospel message.

1) First. I was led to approach a young lady from Shanghai, coming to study Commerce as a first year student. She was all willing to listen to the gospel and show receptiveness thanking me at the end.

2) Next was still a girl from mainland China, but time left for long chat was not much. Nutshell of the gospel was shared anyway.

3) Then I was led to catch up with an Aussie young man from far North Qld. He was non religious and not care too much about life after death. But he still remained open and appreciative for the full gospel sharing.

4) Next was Elf from Netherland but already called Australia home like me. She also declare Christian fairly quick so I switch to ask her the two diagnosis questions about faith. Her answer to 1st Q is perfectly 100% though the 2nd question was half certain about the redemptive work of Christ dying for us and yet focusing only on God's love but not His wrath against our sin.

5) Then approached a Korean who is not a Christian and bluntly showed no interest at all to chat.

6) Then caught up with Hayden who is from Grenville of the Sun Shine Coast. He is also non-religious but paid full attention to the gospel message showing full openness and receptiveness at the end with a selfie showing his appreciation for sharing such important message with him.

First time back to the street at Toowong after the Coober Pedy First Nations people mission outreach in South Australia. Despite doing solo, it was a fruitful day with all the people I approached either all hearing the full gospel or going through a salivation assurance diagnosis process for Christians. The results were all positive signified by the willingness of all gospel targets to take a selfie with me showing their appreciation for the precious message that may lead them to receive the blessing of Eternal life through Jesus Christi. Recap below is the Battle Log:

1) Mr Cao曹 from Nanjing 南京is not yet a Christian but his wife is. He is very consciously aware of the many cross of Christian church in his suburban area in Nanjing. My sharing of the full gospel was helpful for him finally to align the understanding of salvation that his wife has been professing. It would be a strategic timing for him to make his last step of action faith to receive Christ as his savior.

2) Jair is from India to study criminology. She plans to stay after finishing Uni. She was quite open to Gospel and appeared receptive to the message that every one who is not perfect need Jesus to make us sin free again.

3) Ivan 0f Indian ethnicity but was born in Kenya, His parents was originally from Deli of India and family religious tradition is Hinduism. But as a Biotech major student, he was a very rational minded person and appeared very open as well as receptive to the Gospel sharing which has established that as long as we are not perfect in our human character, we all need a Savior to cleanse our sin.

4) Next was Roberto from Madrid Spain of Catholic Christian background. He did not have full assurance of salvation though as good as 99%. After explanation, he realized 99% is still not good enough to understand our salvation is 100% the work of Jesus who took our place to receive the punishment of sin.

5) Then it was Daisy from a Filipino migrant family who was born here. She proudly claim she has 100% assurance of salvation but for the reasons of her good work. This is the typical erroneous understanding of atoning grace offered by Jesus that readily qualified us to regain the heavenly citizenship the moment we received Him as our Savior and Lord of our life. She was very appreciative for my clarification.

I will be doing outreach by myself for two months while my team mate is away. Today is the beginning of this solo mode at Toowong. By the grace of God, I made several meaningful chat with people from everywhere with two stand out ones. One was from Shangdong who was polite by a bit timid at the beginning, but turned out a bit more open and willing to listen to the gospel sharing. The 2nd one was from Columbia coming here for English study at the city. Initially, he tried to avoid with the Excuse of not speaking English but once I found out he is coming to study English, I encouraged him more so shall grasp hold of every chance to have more practice. Gospel was shared though not without difficulties.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday April 29th , 2025 from 1030-1200

Teamed up with Johnny for yet another very full and fruitful period of Gospel proclamation ministry. Reached many people from different Nations (people group) with variating kind of responses. No matter what was the initial reaction, majority cases we can see the change of heart due to the apparent work of the Holy Spirit. One typical example, my last gospe3l target initially rejected Johnny, the Spirit moved me to have another go. His initial reaction was still very rude, and antagonistic but the Spirit guided me to chat around soft topic and eventually lead to the topic of peace giving me a chance to differentiate the peace in flesh and peace in Christ. I even earned a selfie ending that was unexpectable in the beginning. God is good and it is always the Spirit at work via we are just the vessel or messenger of God's words.

1) First approach was brief with a 2nd year student of health food subject.

2) Next with a Singapore lady who studies marine science. She was OK for a chat and ended up listening the full gospel

3) Then Danelle an Indian Catholic Christian who has only 60% assurance of salvation but with a correct answer to 2nd question about pure faith in God about Jesus atoning grace. Misconception clarified and happy to take a selfie as a memory.

4) Next is a Chinese couples with the man a postgraduate from Guangzhou. 廣州研究生. Despite a mainlander but appeared open to the gospel message.

5) Next was a Catholic Christian young man from mainland China which is rare. Yet his answer to the 2 diagnosis question indicated he do not understand the meaning of salvation yet turn hostile when he found that his concept about Christianity was not correct and then refuse to have any more discussion.

6) Local Aussie decline chattery listen to Music

7) Next was the 2nd Singaporean who was eager to have a chat but no time as bus arrived very quickly.

8 ) Next were two Indian girls but again conversation cut short due to arrival of their bus.

9) Josh an Indian from Southern India who appeared very open and receptive to the gospel as such he was delighted to take a selfie as memory about our divine appointment in Christ.

10) Then use Japanese to catch up with Sean from Osaka Japan. Built good rapport through my Japanese living and working experience drawing his interest to know about Jesus and listen to the full gospel sharing with receptive outcome.

11) Sili Pam a senior person above 70 from Thai. He initially rejected Johnny's approach. God moved me to nevertheless approach him despite his arrogant attitude. As mentioned, eventually he softened down bit by bit and I could have the chance to share gospel to him in a subtle manner. He now can differentiate peace on earth which is conditional to circumstances and true inner peace due to life changing effect in Christ.
