Rest for a day after my Mobilization ministry for CSACC in Adelaide. I was now back on to the street here in Brisbane with Johnny and Edwin. As a team, we worked with God to reach out to many people , both Christians or non-believers likewise. Basically, Edwin made approach and engaged into conversation very quickly. Today, I was moved to do follow up chat with some of those whom Edwin already made the first contact. This is a new kind of team work as inspired by God. Recap below is my Battle Log for today.

1) I was moved to approach the last person at the end of the queue who happened to be a HongKonger girl coming to do medical study but same as local student she has to do a medical related first degree first. She is a non-believer but appeared open and receptive to the gospel with genuine interest to know more to the extent she even chose to skip a bus to let me finish the gospel. I even had more time to share my testimony how I could lead a purpose driven life with peace and joy despite now I am diagnosed with relapse of Bladder Cancer.

He quickly declare himself a Christian and really passed my check of Assurance of salvation having 100% certainty to heaven.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday Aug 20th 2024 from 1330-1430

Today Hung was doing Street gospel outreach at Toowong Bus stop solo again. All other committed regular team mates were not available. The process was pleasant basically in terms of both the Spring like weather and friendliness with most gospel targets. In particular connection with two mainlanders were also delightful and fruitful.

1) Nissan UQ student doing Commerce from Deli is of Hinduism family background, but he himself is very open and receptive to the gospel as such he was more than happy to took a selfie as a gesture of appreciation for our chat pointing him to a way for eternal life.

2) Next was a young man from Chengdu China, doing food management at UQ. We clicked instantly because of my Sichuan earthquake disaster relief work. He found no offence in chatting about religion and salvation which he basically found it logical and made sense to him.

3) Then I was moved to approach two girls, one Aussie and other seemingly from Southern Asia. The non Aussie girl seemed uneasy and reluctant but the Aussie girl is all amen with my full gospel sharing. Pray or conversion and real life transformation work happening to her.

4) Next was yet another Indian girl , waited a short while for her texting as such only just had time for an introduction and nutshell of the gospel but she appeared friendly and open.

5) A local Brisbane guy who is non religious but still polite and patience enough to let me share him with the full gospel.

6) Last but not the least , yet another mainlander from Chungshan as such he can speak good Cantonese. It helped cultivate friendliness interaction for Gospel explanation.

Today, originally I had to do street outreach at Sunnybank by myself. But God arranged a missional couples Rebecca and Guo Long to have Yumcha lunch with me first and then joined me for a while to do outreach doing the opening prayer for the ministry and for my health as well. Taking this chance I did a demo and using Guo Long as a Christian target to test his assurance of salvation. He claimed he only has 80% certainty and it was really the work of God to bring him to join me on the street even for a while to have his unclear concept about salvation clarified. Since they have another appointment in the afternoon in Northern part of Brisbane, they could not stay too long with me so they left for Atandi.

After that I returned to the City bound side of Bus stop. It was a rainy day but God stopped the rain when I started doing outreach. There were of course rejection and intentional ignoring my approach with a cold face. We all count this as crown winning moments to withstand despise or even insult while we are on mission with God through the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless, God also gave me a couple of good gospel sharing conversations as recap below: -

Two stand out ones are as follows:

Hu? with family migrated from Chongxin now doing high school here and cross road with me because today is the Ekka school holiday. He listen attentively and with open mind and was impressed and convinced by the logic of the gospel message that as long as we are not perfect, even we are good person but we also need salvation by Jesus to take our place to receive the punishment of our sin. He admitted this was the first time he heard the gospel and he agreed to ponder and make his faith action and decision to accept Jesus.

Then next one was a tall guy from New Taipei, Taiwan who studies design at UQ but lives in Sunnybank. He is non-believer but also appeared open to Gospel message with receptiveness.
