As usual, I serve singleton this morning at Toowong. By the election of God, out of many other casual approaches, I was led by the Sprit to have two significant conversations with a Filipino QUT student and a Norwegian UQ student of nursing department. Both are Christian but one is of Catholic background and one is protestant upbringing. Both were asked about their assurance of salvation with the Catholic Christian uncertain of her ultimate salvation while the Norwegian is 100% certain he is surely saved despite he is still not yet perfect but for sure will be turned a masterpiece of God's new creation through progressive transformation and purification work of the Holy Spirit. He only needed a little hint to understand the 3 fold deliverance of Gods salvation plan to get our identify right again right away upon our conversion receiving Jesus as our Savior and then as the Lord of our new born again life to let God reign and be purified with prominent effect especially when we live a life on mission with God to do His work as per Eph 2:10.

After several days of unstable storm warning prone period, the weather have returned back to Sunny Spring time for outreach. Initial rejections were still encountered, but I was led to catch up with Adam from Turkey on a business visa to Australia. He is from Izmir on the west coast or the 3rd biggest city in Turkey. He was lucky to first secure a job offer from Australia otherwise people cannot get permit to leave the country. He is very open and receptive to Christianity and he claim Turkey is readily a very secularized Islamic country with the young generation up to middle age all deflected from Muslim to other belief. My visit to Turkey in 2023 especially only three weeks from the great earthquake built invisible connection with Adam. He was glad to meet me who share common life experience with him from Izmir. It also bring back many fond memory of my 2024 Turkey mission trip doing both city and country outreach all leading us to experience the mission power of God on the unpredictable and uncontrollable mission field.

There were several conversations though facing initial resistance but the Spirit still led me to do ice breaking casual chat but eventually returning back to the gospel message as a seed sowing attempt.

After a hottest day we have an opposite torrential rainy day. Rain was pounding down pour in my suburb , my wife once questioned if I still should do my scheduled outreach today under such awkward weather condition, but I somehow sensed the call to serve despite of external circumstances. Two divine appointments proved that my subtle sense of the Spirit was right.

There was very few people at the bus stop. I was led to a girl from South America. She bluntly declined my chat if it is about God. In normal situation , I would have given up but I was urged to keep the conversation on. She was very alert and did not want to share too much about herself, just told me she is from South America and is doing a Master degree in UQ. Somehow, I used my limited Spanish to try breaking the ice telling her my Father was born in Mexico and worked for 10 years later in his middle age at El Savador. Since I could not talk about God, so instead I shared my life testimony that I am an Alumni of UQ and did a Master of Counselling but my purpose to serve my own cross-cultural family members was defeated yet I was given the capacity to serve as the disaster relief team to help out the Sichuan earthquake. Suddenly, I was moved to ask what kind of master she is doing and out of my surprise, she admitted she actually is doing the same degree as mine, the Master of Counselling. So, God might have used this to show it is no coincidence. I was moved to further share with her the horrible reality of PDTS with past and current cases to impress her with memories for future next divine appointment.

Another divine appointment was with an Indian doing Physic at U Q . He is from a Christian family but falls away from his parents ‘ faith. He rather believes that being a good person is fine enough as such he inclined to identify with Buddhism. But my sharing really triggered him to understand good is not good enough and imperfection really will cause eternal separation from God or disqualification from heavenly citizenship.

There were other chat with people chatted with me before and some consistent rejecting people. They were all good training for me to serve and listen to God simultaneously.

Today I officially return to doing street outreach on solo mode, at least for Toowong this outreach mission field as Johnny will be unavailable for at least 6 months.

By the grace of God, I connected with a mainlander student who claimed one of us at Toowong chatted with him before. I anyway followed up and realize he has not heard of my metaphor of being perfect by having no record of crime for migration application. So, in the same token, as long as it is a consensus that there is no perfect human being, it implies the whole human race with no exception should have been disqualified for regaining the heavenly kingdom citizenship. He appeared very convinced and was happy to have further chat with me next time we meet as such he voluntarily took a selfie with me.

Another important chat was with a fall back Christian lady from Uganda who is doing a PhD in creative writing. She is an intellectual person, so I use the Crime free certificate metaphor to explain why it is important for all imperfect human though good but to rely on Jesus as our Savior to die for us and paid for the eternal death penalty of our sin as such our record of sin is set to zero makign us a new creation with a perfect clean no sin record to be qualified to reconcile with God. She also promise to continue on our chat if we meet next time as such she was happy to leave a selfie with me.

There were a few more conversations which were incomplete due to quick arrival of bus. It was aftercall still a fruitful day of gospel outreach gaining spiritual growth by being on mission with God.

This was the 2nd last time I can team up with Johnny for street outreach as he will be away for a long time over half a year for many other personal and ministry engagement. Biblically, It was always good to work with at least a partner on all sort of outreach to cover and back up each others. Today, this sort of team work happened again that Johnny referred Cantonese speaking people to me. Of course God Himself is the ever present partner with me even I have to go solo. It helps us to overcome fear for intimidation by unfriendly person but still guided by the Spirit to seek a change of heart for allowing us to share the gospel if not at least our own testimony. So, It has become normality getting initially antagonistic persons of other faith or atheist to be softened down for a friendly chat. Today, I also was able to minister to a couples of Christian rectifying their misconception on salvation and reaffirming them to have 100% assurance of salvation by faith through grace in Christ alone.

I was late to day as I attended first the special prayer meeting for the deceased Principal of BST Richard Gibson. I met Carol there and we teamed up for the group prayer time. It was my prayer that BST will take up the legacy of the ex-principal to keep producing God loving and action oriented graduated to do walk the walk in gospel outreached in day to day life.

It was again a fruitful day for both our us. We encountered very rare rejection. And even people from Muslim, Hinduism background were open and receptive to the gospels.

I had a follow up chat with a Christian India girl and helped her to nail the awareness of 100% assurance of salvation. Also chatted with many non-believers, they all were agreeable that no human is perfect and surprised to realize the consequence of imperfection is the eternal loss of right to apply and regain our heavenly citizenship just like we cannot apply for migration to Australia if we ever have a crime record.

Today, Johnny teamed up with me again at Toowong. He had many fruitful conversations including a chat with a girl from Chongqing who was moved to accept Christ immediately. In another case, the gospel target mentioned he heard about us or Johnny in particular by his friend. So God really is in charge of all the outreach activities and we are just His vessel.

For me, I also had many fruitful conversations all are the divine appointments arranged by God. I met a girl who has just arrived from Pakistan and appeared at the Toowong bus stop for the first time. Despite she is a Muslim, but she appeared exceptionally open a n receptive to gospel especially on the need of all fallen human to rely on a Savior to take our place to receive the eternal dead punishment originally to be borne by us. Another chat was with a Christian from Norway, yet he did not have assurance of salvation and was happy to gain the correct understanding that, once we accepted Jesus as our Savor, our record of sin has been set to zero by the sacrificial death and atoning grace of Jesus as such we all should have 100% certain that we readily have been reconciled with God being His people again. There are many other successful symbolized by the willingness to take a selfie with me.

Still served solo today at Toowong. God led me to chat with all UQ students this time mainly from local and with only one from Taiwan but still preferred to chat I. English. Basically ， they are all non believers but all appeared to be open minded and receptive to the Gospel, admitting that no one is perfect as such if there is a heaven kingdom demanding us for a sin free certificate line earthly country asking for a crime free certificate from all immigration applicants, we all will be disqualified as such going to hell. They admitted thus is a very down to the earth analogy showing we all need a saviour to take our place to receive punishment of our sin so that through His sacrificial death, our sin is pardoned and record of our sin is set to zero, satisfying God’s requirement of sin free record for granting us back the God kingdom citizenship.

It is a joy to keep telling good news to the lost ones.

Johnny was still occupied with home renovation as such I did solo street outreach again this week. I prayed to God to see if any conversation would lead to the Charlie Kirk assassination and the world wide up roaring impact bringing revival leading people especially youngsters to flood into church and received Christ.

God answered my prayer to have several deep talks with one specially on his opinion of the Charlie Kirk phenomenon. He is not a fan of Charlie and was misled that he was spreading hatred and causing division, But he at least still preserves a basic sense of humanity condemning the violence way to settle difference in opinions. I pointed out to him that Charlie Kirk exactly condemn this mentality and I carefully redirect his understanding on the mission and noble goal of Charlie that he exactly advocated and promoted equal and open dialogue to settle difference or else the world will end up in riot and violence even for irreversible division. I went on to share the gospel that the twisted sinful nature of human nature can only resort to Jesus's salvation by grace through faith which he appeared open and receptive to the gospel message.
Another long chat with a PNG mixed blood high school youngster of Catholic background but professes clear assurance of salvation. It is not because of his family influence but peer teaching by protestant Christian with clear biblical teaching.
It is clear that a big awakening movement needed to be and is about to happen as the continuous influence of Charlie Kirk Campus and high school ministry to bring them back to the biblical based way of life and thought.
There were a few more fruitful chats with mainlander and other people groups all seemingly having all been touched by the Charlie Kirk saga.

Had to go solo again due to Johnny's unavailability because of home renovation/maintenance. It was a warm Spring morning that people seemed waking up from a slack luxurious winter sleep over. Had got a couple of good chats. First with an Indian young man who claimed to had chatted with me before. He was migrant from New Zealand but now settled in Australia. He however surprised me that he has a special fond for Hongkong that he goes every year in the past consecutive years. I expressed my sadness for not being able to visit Hong Kong as freely as long time ago. since the pass away of my parents and key sibling all left HKG for overseas new settlement. Touched briefly on his impression and understanding of the need of Jesus for all good persons which he gladly agrees.

Then have another longer chat with a local high school girls. She was impressed by my argument that as long as we are not perfect, we all should have lost the right for the heavenly citizenship unless relying on the help of Jesus to make our record clean again.

Other chats were more causal and brief. I also call for the day earlier than usual.
