Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday October 10th, 2023 from 1330 – 1500

Thanks God helping me overcame the sore throat problem I developed towards end of the Taiwan trip as well as some minor tooth pain issue, I officially have resumed my regular street outreach at Toowong with Johnny. God was gracious to have led me into divine encounter with 7 persons from different background but all leading to favourable result. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung: -

1) There was a long queue for bus when we arrived at the bus stop. I was led to approach a girl from Hong Kong by the name Ng ?who came to do a Master Of IT at UQ. She did his first IT degree at CUHK, Chung Chi College. Thus we are dual Alumni of both CCC and UQ. I was moved to share a bit more my life testimony as she knew the HK background. Then I rushed through the gospel when the bus arrived. She anyway seemed touched and eager to know more by taking a tract.

2) Israel is an Australian born Bangladesh in Sydney. He is of Islamic background because of his parents as such he rejected me initially. But the Spirit moved me to stay put and be friend first with him to soften his heart to listen the gospel finally showing good degree of receptiveness.

3) Then I was moved to approach a lady from Peru who comes to visit her daughter studying in UQ and do some sightseeing herself. Her English is limited, but still sufficient to hear the gospel.

4) Then I was led to approach a Mainlander. He actually has extensive reading of the Bible but also has a lot of prejudiced understanding because of the lack of the Holy Spirit. I answered all his queries but he still needs more enlightenment by the Spirit to convict of him the self-righteousness as a sinner in flesh.

5) Then next was a young man from , who was very willing to listen to the gospel. He took a tract to read on the bus.

6) Then I bumped into a young lady of mixed blood with an Aussie dad and a Filipino mum. She seemed to be of no religious background but still polite and willing to listen to the gospel.

7) Jess is a local Aussie girl full of Sun shine. She is also not religious but appeared very keen to the full gospel message with receptiveness. She was also willing to take a selfie with me to memorize this divine encounter and conversation of life issue importance.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday September 26th, 2023 from 1330 – 1500

It was a hot sunny afternoon more like mid-Summer rather than early Spring. Johnny and Hung both switched to summer dress in short. Nonetheless, our passion for sharing the gospel of Christ is not less fervent. God gave us both very fruitful gospel conversation. Johnny at the end even had to bring his target to the side of the road for a longer and more private gospel sharing time. Recap below is the Battle log of Hung.

1) First I encounter a Chinese look lady from NZ who was born there as such she does not speak Chinese at all. Despite she lives in the free world, but appears to be a very materialistic person with little if not none religious appeal. After a near full gospel sharing, she simply showed no interest and did not even bother to take a tract.

2) Jacks from Venice, Italy. Despite he grew up from a Catholic background, but he regarded himself more an Agnostic person though he still deems there is a god as a supreme being. After my full gospel sharing, he was convinced again that there is one God and we all need to rebuild trusting and loving kindness relationship with him through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. He was very happy to take selfie with me to signify this new change of mind about God our creator and Jesus our redeemer.

3) Then I was approached to approach two guys with the one from Nanjing engaging into conversation with me and the other just stood by the side as an audience. Form facial expression, both were open and receptive to the Gospel.

4) Sofia a Hinduism Indian from New Deli whom Winnie might have approached before. I followed on with his impression and understanding of the gospel through the tract which obviously has become blurry. But after my clarification, he could not deny anything in the gospel and appeared very receptive to accept Jesus as saviour. As a result, he was happy to take a selfie with me to keep it as our common memory of this divine encounter.

5) Then I approached a Mainlander lady? from Jilin . She is major in Biology so I could for a moment gained her identification . Yet after sharing the full gospel she still appeared very indifferent with a stone heart.

6) Finally, I had a very extraordinary long conversation with a PHD in IT from Brazil. Initial he showed aggressively to denounce God or any religions as he deems all Gods are also not perfect as such, they caused the chaos in our secularized world. But the Holy Spirit empowered me to un arm his defensive system and at the end appeared very receptive to the gospel message.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday September 19th, 2023 from 1330 – 1500

Chi Ming could not join us in his last week in Brisbane. We apprecuate his faithfulness to joined us without fail in the past 4, 5 weeks. So today again only Johnny and Hung teamed up to serve at Toowong. Despite it is the beginning of school holiday, yet the Uni is in its normal term period. So there were plenty of students around at the Bus Stop. Hoever, it was not a good day for us, at least for Hung. I had up to 12 conversation opportunities, but only a few last long enough for me to share the full gospel. Nevertheless, we still felt our effort was not in vain. God will be responsible the outcome and follow up in His way and in His time frame. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) I met an ABC girl whose parents was from DaLan , when she realized I was to share the gospel to her, she immediate indicated she is a Chrisitan. I switched to test her assurance of salvation which is 100% correct. It is really rare andI had no time to check her denonimational adherence.

2) Then I was led to approach a youngman from Shenzhen who greeted me in Cantonese but just the greetings. He was keen to listen to the Gospel but I could just manage to share the nutshell.

3) Then I caught up with an Indian young man. He was proud to tell me he had visited HKG for 2 months and his favorite spot in HKG is Lan Kwai Fong. This ice breaking catching up had taken much time as such I could not even start to share so could just give him a tract to read.

4) Then Yvvone of CCCB St Lucia flashed past giving me a sign of get going for the street outreach mnistry before she rush to catch the bus.

5) Then I caught up with a mainlander girl who claimed she had a caht with Qin Hao (not me or Johnny). I still felt moved to follow up on her understanding of the gospel and the impression about the tract. It was a pity she was interrupted by a phone call that cut an end to our conversation.

6) I instead switched to chat with another mainlander girl, who was willing to listen but the bus arrival end our conversation and I could only end up handing her a tract.

7) Then I was led to catch up with a mainlander girl from Shandong who had a long chat with me. She actaully recognized me so I follow up with her by a revision of the gospel. This time she was really impressed and actaully took the initiative to take a tract again to read and seriously ponder for the making the step of faith.

8 )Then I was led to catch up with a Japanese student from Tokyo . He was amazed I could speak OK Japanese. Again the bus came too quick so I could only leave him with a tract.

9) Next I was led to catch up with an Indian middle age man. His perception of region is just a cultural expression to find peace in our life. I drew him to the awareness of sin and what we need to face in addressing the issue of sin which cannot be resolved by religion but salvation. He could not deny my asseration and pray he would really make self awareness of our sinful nature that needs redemption by Jesus.

10) Next was Zhu ?from Taipei who is 4th year student of Economic which was also my major in Chinese University that gave me the edge to identify with him. Again , it was a pity his bus came too quick that I could only leave him a tract.

11) Next I caught up with an Aussie girl who is not a student. She was very open tochat but time was limited so again handing out a tract to her.

12) Finally, I had a long chat with Bella from Surrey of UK. My extensive stay in UK in the past for business and for study earned the rapport with her as such she was keen and drawn to the sharing of gospel together with my life witnesses.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday September 12th, 2023 from 1330 – 1500

Today, we had Chi Ming joining Johnny and Hung for the last time before returning to Taiwan. We are thankful for Chi Ming to join and humbly learning to approach people of different cultural background with different attitude, both welcoming and rejective inclusive which have become good training for us the evangelist to trust in God be bold always to share the gospel irrespective of the circumstances. So, as usual there were mixed results of our outreach work , but in majority, they were fruitful and impactful. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) Caleb an UQ 2nd year Aussie student who claimed to be non-religious but have a religious biblical name. Despite of initial reluctance, I just was in time to share him the nutshell of the Gospel and he appeared turning soft to admit it is logical and reasonable for all good person but not a perfect one. Jesus is the only measure to help us be set free from the bondage of sin.

2) Next, I was led to approach Shawles a tall young man from India. He was a good listener and appeared very receptive to the gospel as well. His willingness to take selfie with me was a proof that his appreciation for the message and the tract.

3) Then I caught up with a young man from Beijing. He was surprised I have been there three time and already climbed up to two out of three sections of the Great Wall. The ice breaking chat took up some time, so I could only finish the nutshell of the Gospel but he was all willing to take a tract to read.

4) Then I was led to approach an Indonesia girl who was playing game on her iPhone. She appeared open and interested to the gospel message I share without using Islamic doctrine to debate. Basically, she admitted the gospel is all logical and sensible for any good person but not perfect.

5) Jack was another Aussie I approached but kept rejecting me initially. I persisted to keep the dialogue on with some non-religious matter of common interest, like what is the meaning and origin of dinkum. At the end, I did not earn the time for a full gospel, but still the nutshell of the gospel and his willingness to accept the tract.

6) Patrick is a tall guy from the Sunshine Coast. Again, he initially claimed no interest to religious thing, but through chatting I identified with him by naming all the neighbourhood of his home in the sunshine coast that I once treaded on for gospel outreach. And eventually, I barely gained the time for the nutshell of the Gospel with handling out of tract. He also was appreciative to take a photo with me.

7) Then Ring nose lady bluntly rejected me just kept saying she is d alright. I tried to explain it is actually not all right but in vain.

8 ) Then I approached a girl from Henan Changzhou who studied a Master Degree of Finance . I spent some ice breaking time to earn the right to share her the nutshell of the gospel with handing out a tract.

9) Then I approach another Aussie young man but only have time for half gospel message with handling out of a tract.

10) not willing still shared the nutshell

11) Then I connected with a girl from Guangzhou so we could chat in Cantonese , but the bus came too quick and she still happily accept a tract.

12) Jade a political science UQ Aussie girl. She is non-religious and showed no interest in life in the future or in the past. She asserted to care only for living a full life in the presence. I change the tactic, to ask for someone who has no perfect crime free record, breaking local law then they will be liable for jail term punishment. But if we human being are not perfect in our human character record, sinning against God, destroying balance of the nature and sin against each other, will we be free to go without being held responsible for our sin? So the lawful mind compelled her to admit there is a consequence for our imperfect human character that keep hurting each other and destroying the environment despite we offended no law. She turned very receptive and was happy to take my tract to read.

13) Finally, Chi Ming and I approach a couple of males with Zhu?from Xiamen and another guy from the North East region who appeared less friendly. For me ,I focused on chatting with Zhu who went to study in Taiwan then coming over to Australia, he looked more open because of his wide exposure to the international open world. . Thus, he appeared very open and receptive to the gospel and took my tract.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Sep 6th, 2023 from 1300-1500

Today, again the Sunnybank team reduced to just having Johnny and Hung to serve. Basically, both of us had many long meaningful and fruitful conversations. I had an over 45 minutes chat with a Korean Chistian lady. She received Christ here on Brisbane and is pursuing her spiritual growth by associating with Power to Change in UQ. Her understand of faith is spot on that we are saved by grace through faith, but her understanding of assurance of salvation was off the mark having only 95% instead of 100%. It triggered a series of Q & A in theology and surprisingly she is well verses in many theological propositions. She was appreciative for having such a deep chat of the Bible and asked for a selfie with me in hope that God may lead us to meet somehow, somewhere in the future. Apart from this climatic divine encounter, I had other fruitful gospel sharing with non-believers especially those from mainland as recap below in the Battle Log.

0) Before we started at Sunnybank, I caught up with Sammuel a Chrisitan lay worker of BCCCC and has started his business to run a Japanese style Cafe at the Sunnybank Hill. Pray for Chrisitan witness in his secular work.

1) God moved me to catch up with Jenny from Korea and is a student of UQ having affiliation with power to change in the Campus. Pray that our apologetic discussion on many theological issues would help driving her to dig deep in her understanding of God's Will and Calling for her.

2) Hassel is an Australian born young girl with mixed blood of Greece and Spain. She was very friendly and showed willingness to listen to the gospel message. Pray that the tract she took will help her to revise the message leading her a step closer to final conversion as Chrisitan.

3)Two Mainlanders rejected politely

4) Repeatedly rejection by green lady and man in blue.

5) Roy an European look Filipino, thought I am a JW but seemingly his theology is not sound enough to discern the pure Christian faith. He anyway claimed he only uphold teaching in NT but not OT. I barely had time to follow on and clarified that it was not the problem of OT, just The Sect of Judaism that still denied Jesus is the Messiah.

6) Then I had a long chat with a Hkg’s lady who has come more than 30 years but still has no time to hear about the gospel. She has very few if not non-Christian friend. But she was very polite to hear the full gospel.

7) A young lady from Jiangxi who is an UQ student of Finance. Perhaps because she was in full mask and with sun glass as such she was basically not recognizable. She listened to the full gospel with great interest which again was rare in mainlanders. Pray for God's follow up work in her heart.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday September 5th, 2023 from 1330 – 1500

Today we again had Johnny, Chi Ming and Hung to team up to do street outreach at Toowong despite Chi Ming was not in his best shape. At the end, he still stayed for the whole time demonstrating his faith and love of God could help overcoming his unwellness.

It was also an eventful day with mixed experiences of very open and receptive smooth & fruitful sharing, but in the meantime, there was also blunt rejection or even self-righteous intervention by some bystander, attacking my gospel outreach work and PUA my gospel target to reject me. In flesh, I of course felt outraged, but in Spirit, I must repent and pray for that ignorant self- righteous guy that God will still not give him up and send someone else to reach out to him at another better time. Recap below is my Battle Log.

1) I was moved to approach two Indonesian UQ students from Surabaya. I was mistaken they tried to refrain from talking to me to clear some room in the shaded area behind the bus stand. They actually welcomed me to squeeze in sharing the shaded. So, once this was clarified, we clicked well and they appeared friendly and open to the gospel. They took tract to read to show they are not hardliner Islamic advocate. Pray for God amazing work to move their hearts.

2) Eclipse an Indian UQ student doing IT study. He also was very open and receptive to the full gospel I shared with him and took a tract to ponder for his next step of faith.

3) Then I was moved to approach a young man Huang from Guangzhou who recognized my accent and asked me to switch to Cantonese. Actually, his initial attitude was not to bother him by showing the budda necklace. I first acknowledge that all religions are good but not addressing the issue of sin. I further pointed out to him that Buddhism is actually not a religion as it does not have a God head to worship. He was amazed to learn such thing from me as such I earned my chance to keep sharing to him the full gospel. I anyhow chose a winding path to start sharing my salvation testimony but it works good to get him identify with my past as a non-religious and self-righteous good person. He took both English and Chinese tract to read.

4) Then miraculously God led an Aussie girl. I thought she was waiting for the bus , but actually she got into the shaded area for texting after she got off the bus. She also appeared very delighted to have a chat with me and at the end, could not agree more about the gospel that she is good but not perfect as such she need Jesus. She only sought to leave for the Toowong village, after I finished the chat.

5) Next, I was moved to catch up with Cliffe from Townville. He also showed great openness and receptiveness to the gospel message and promised to ponder for the next step of faith to accept Jesus. I took a photo with him hoping I can recognize him in future to follow up on his decision.

6) Then I approached a Chinese girl with hair dyed completely gold in colour. She was a bit shy but dis not reject me to chat with her. But after a long while, I was interrupted by possibly a Malaysian English-speaking self -righteous young man to threaten me to stop otherwise he will call the police. He also PUA the girl to ask her if she still want to continue conversation with me. I just told her, if you really did not feel good to have a chat, you simply told me and we did not need a third person to interfere our normal friendly chat. That certainly is part of the spiritual warfare we will face for serving God.

7) Then I turned to another Chinese student who said he got a tract before. . I anyway still revised the main point before his bus arrived.

8 ) Redelbel is a lovely local Brisbane girl with sunshine on her face. She is all good for the gospel message and thanks for my sharing ending our joyful conversation with a selfie picture.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday August 29th 2023 from 1330 – 1500

Despite we are moving forwards into Spring in just a couple of days. The weather turned cool with looming rain. It nevertheless did not hinder our passion to serve God by the regular street outreach at Toowong, Sunnybank and the Gold Coast. Actually, scattered rain fall did pour down while we were doing outreach at the bus stop. Again, it did not impose any inconvenience but rather helping us to keep people stay put under the Bus stop cover for longer conversation. The spiritual atmosphere was in mixed status, we encountered both receptive and rejective reaction from our gospel targets. It anyway is the norm as making people aware of our imperfection or sin is not a pleasant thing to do. We simply surrender our all to the Lord to play our role of priesthood for all nations. It reminds us Johnny, Chi Ming & Hung to work as a team and support each other in volatile and unstable circumstances in His strength. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) I first was led to catch up with Aladder an Aussie girl at the end of the queue for bus to buy more time for a chat. She was friendly and open for a chat even though she is not a religious person. But she remained open and receptive to the message shared and promised to ponder seriously at home to make this step of faith to accept Jesus as her saviour.

2) Then I was moved to approach a mature man from Colombia who has come for 8 months. He admitted he is not religious despite the Catholic background of his country. He patiently chatted with me for a while and excuse to leave for his part time work as a student.

3) Then I connected with another Local Aussie Gary who is a worker but not a student. He was OK for the chat and took a tract to read.

4) Then I was moved to catch up with Henry a Kiwi who was very open to chat about both spiritual and secular things. He did not reject God but also not feeling imminent need to connect with Him. He took a tract to read at the end.

5) Then I got hold of a Mainlander girl who was OK for a chat but appeared very conservative and not open to the gospel.

6) Next I caught up with a Taiwanese girl and she was more open for a chat on life issue and admitted that she need to address the issue of imperfection.

7) Then I caught up with another mainlander male and he deemed there may be perfect person in the world for argument sake At least his willingness to communicate and share his own view was good for opening the chance to share the full gospel to him.

8 ) Encountered two rejections by an Indian or Pakistanis and then also a Chinese girl who was on the phone.

9) Suen Suen ? a Singapore girl ? who was sceptical initially but God soften her heart for a very friendly chat of life issue. She also is not religious in mind but admit the gospel message worths deeper thinking in her heart to take an important faith action to address the imperfection issue of human sin. She took a tract to remind her about our conversation.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday August 15th 2023 from 1330 – 1500

Today, Chi Ming coming back from Tawan still joined to team up with Johnny and Hung to serve at Toowong. When we started there was still a long queue for the bus so we approached people at the end of the queue to gain more time to chat before they got on to the bus. In general, it was again a very fruitful outreach though not without hiccup up and stern rejection from a minority few. God also nurture team work that Johnny and I minister to the same person reinforcing the gospel message to the target to make an informed decision quickly. Recap is the Battle Log of Hung :

1) First Rejected by a mainlander girl despite I stressed it is a discussion of life issue from non-religious point of view.

2) Then I switched to approach an Aussie girl in front who was friendly initially but turn harsh once she thought the life issue was still about the fall and sin of human being that triggered the need of all human for salvation.

3) Then my next divine appointment was with an overseas Chinese born in USA but returned to China. She actually received education in Christian school in USA, and their family was once religious but for some reason, they all fell back from their original faith in God. The girl considered her self not yet a believer. I anyhow stressed the need of all people including good person yet not perfect then we all need salvation of Jesus to cleanse our sins. She was opened to discussion of the message but appeared not ready yet to be convicted to admit she is a sinner who need Jesus to take her place to receive punishment for her sin.

4) Then I was moved to approach still mainlander from Quanzhou. He was happy we can chat in Cantonese. Though he appeared a bit cautious in accepting the gospel message, but he basically was still willing to enter into conversation with me on this life issue until the bus came.

5) Another mainlander student suddenly approached me for a tract hastily before he had to get on the bus. I gave him both Chinese and English. So prayerfully God will minister to him when he read the tract on the bus.

6) Then I spent long time to chat with a mainlander girl who did not show initial rejection. But gradually her attention was distracted by some incoming text message triggering her to respond. Finally, I just finished the full gospel sharing and let her go when her bus arrived. I took a photo of her back but she noticed it from her hindsight and demanded me to delete the photo which I of course followed her request. That was the normal sort of spiritual warfare challenges we have to face from time to time.

7) Then I was led to approach still mainlander man from Henan . He was opened and welcome for conversation. But it did not last long because of the quick arrival of the bus.

8 ) Miguel is a Catholic Christian and a high school student from Filipin. He patiently listened with interest to the gospel sharing but indicated at the end he is a Catholic Christian. I then tested he only have 80% certain to go to heavenly. I had to rush for giving him the clarification before the bus arrived. He was appreciative to have a selfie with me.

9) Then I was moved to approach mainlander again, a girl from Shanxi Taiyuan. She studies Accounting at UQ and was willing to chat on life issues. I also shared my testimony and work that God led me to do in China which seemingly had attracted her interest and hence become more willing to hear the gospel.

10) Carlsberg is from New Castle and a self-proclaimed Catholic 100 Chrisitan. He seemed to have 100 % assurance of salvation but all for the wrong reason of his good work rather than relying on Jesus alone. I also had to hastily to give him the clarification and he was appreciative to have again a selfie with me.

11) Then I was led to approach an Indonesia couple who appeared very friendly and polite though sceptical about the status of Jesus as the son of God and our Saviour.

12) Then I saw Louis was reading the tract obviously after a chat with Johnny. I curiously asked if he fully understand the message presented. I anyway was moved to reinforced the full gospel message once and he delightfully came to admit it is all true and logical and credible. I challenge him to make his final step of faith and took picture so I will recognize him next week to ask about his decision. Praise God he was really almost there.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday August 15th 2023 from 1330 – 1500

Today, we were glad to have Chi Ming joining us to serve at the bus station for the first time. In the past he used to serve at the front door of Toowong Village on the street. This time since he came back alone without his wife, we suggested him to join us at the bus stop and the effect was good. Johnny had several long chats with the last one with Tao Sing Ngiu that he chatted before and this time he seriously considered to make the last step of faith and intend to go to Johnny's church. He even skipped several buses to let the conversation on for almost half and hour. As for me, I had chat with varieties of people, of whom some are for the first time but some are having chat with us before. Some actually have witnessing our ministry here for a long while but was skilful enough not to be caught up by us. Yet, today God moved her heart to avoid no more and have a good chat with me. For details, please refer to the Battle Log.

1) Noah is from a Chrisitan family but only 2 generation ago, both his parents and him was non-religious though he bears a Biblical name by his grandfather. He lives at Kawana of the Sunshine Coast, and doing his Uni basically on zoom except coming to UQ once a week to do practical things related to his study. So, our encounter was not by chance but by mission power to have a chat. We started at the end of the long queue and he choose to skip a bus to have more chat which lasted for at least 25 minutes. Full gospel was shared and he was convinced that no one is perfect as such we all need salvation by Jesus. Apart from the gospel, I also shared my life witnesses which was quite fascinating and appealing to him.

2) Then I was led to catch up with a man from Lebanon. I mentioned about my recent visit to Turkey and checked with him the latest status of Lebanon after the big blast 5-6 years ago. It was a pity his bus came but we trust God will leave a good impression for the future approach in God's time.

3) Then I was moved to connect with Sue an Adim of UQ. I used the story about the Story Bridge and the donation of land to UQ to get the chatting box opened. She actually is very familiarized about us seeing us every week at the bus stop but she could manage to avoid us in the past. But today, it seemed to be the time that God want me to open her heart for the gospel. And I was moved to use the story of MR story as an ice breaker which she found it amazing to realize such long hidden facts. The story of course led up to the logic that Mr Story could not use his good charity work to offset not to mention to waive his robbery and murder charge. Pray that the tract will pave for the next conversation opportunities in God's timing.

4) Then I caught up with Jimmy from Dalin who claimed one of us has had a chat with him and he was quite impressed by what we have been doing to alert stranger of this important life issue. So, it was a revision on the gospel message he so far has received which seemed to be quite effective as he cannot but admit no one including him is perfect as such we all need the atoning grace of Jesus to take our place to receive the punishment of our sin.

5) Moria local Aussie girl listened for a long time of my Gospel sharing but then said she is readily a non-practicing Chrisitan. I wasted no time to test for here assurance of salvation which she failed. So, I clarify right way and helped her to have established the 100% assurance of salvation.

6) Then I waited for a Mainlander to respond to my approach but she eventually simply just pretended she does not speak Chinese nor English.

7) Then I caught up with a Brazilian young man who claimed himself an atheist despite his country is predominantly of Catholic faith. While I was still beating the bush to find our more about his background, his bus came, so it had to be left for the next time.

8 ) Finally an Aussie boy also of atheist background but still care for a chat despite his lack of interest in religious matter. I anyhow still shared him the nutshell of the Gospel and helped him to accept the fact that while we are all imperfect, then there is need for each and every good person to trust in Jesus’ way of pardoning.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Aug 9, 2023 from 1300-1500

This was yet another day of God's grace empowering Hung and Edwin (Qin Hao) to do street outreach at Sunnybank with Johnny on leave for a family vacation. Edwin is really gifted in evangelism reaching people of all nations, cross generation with quick precise gospel message and with full confidence. I found the way to work with Edwin selectively follow up with some of his target especially those self-claimed Chrisitan to test on their assurance of salvation. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) First approach was with a mainlander from Shanghai who claimed himself a Buddhist?. When I asked him if he thought there is any perfect person in human race, he used the Buddhism terms to express that everyone has their sin or transgression to be hold responsible , so this was spot on for leading him to the awareness that no one can be exempted from punishment of our own sin except through Jesus to be our Saviour to take our place to receive the eternal death punishment dying for us. It was a pity his bus arrived but he was opened enough to take a tract and pray that it will lead him to the enlightenment for salvation.

2) Rejected by a few though still shared partially or the nutshell of the gospel.

3) Then I followed up on Won a Korean Christian lady that Edwin had just approached. She is the rare group of Chrisitan that have 100% assurance of Salvation, I only need to supplement her with a fuller Biblical teaching on salvation. I was amazed to find out that she is also a UQ 2nd year student of Counselling. So we shared a lot of our experience in this field that how God moved me to do the Master of Counselling course that enabled me to have a period of 7 years of China ministry using counselling as a media to share the gospel in China.

4) Rejected further by two to chat.

5) Then I was led to approach Kelvin a Filipino. He is however a nonbeliever but appeared open for religious life issues.

6) Then I followed up on a guy that Qin had chatted on the issue of assurance of salvation.

7) After that I approached an Eastern European lady who appeared sceptical about our gospel ministry. I anyhow change topic to my travelling experience in the Eastern Bloc country around 1990 when the Berlin Wall was torn down. Indirectly, I still shared a bit of my life witness in Christ.

8 ) Then came another Korean boy who is also a non-believer. Time was not enough but he took a tract to read.

9) Next I caught up with a Filippino girl who is UQ student. She claimed herself a Catholic Chrisitan but was diagnosed lacking of assurance of salvation. She was appreciative for my clarification.

10) Then I bumped in the same girl from Costal Province possibly Fujian. We chatted before but when I asked if she understand and agree with the message of the tract, she indicated she did not need another religion and she is happy to stick with her idolatry faith in a Chinese local idol called MaJoh. I then lead her through the bible to widen her eyes on God's plan for human at the time Adam and Eve sinned against God leading the human race to become enemy o God rather than the people of God. But God's love for us let Him to devise the dual Kingdom and Redemption project as per Gen ?3:15. I was also about to show her the scientific aspect of the 6 days creation but time is up. Pray for next time we can carry on with the unfinished story of God.

11) Then I connected with an ABC but just have no time to chat except giving him a tract.

12) Finally I approached again a Japanese who come to study at Griffith majoring in Business. We clicked because of my Japan life experience and although he claimed his English is no good but I still managed to share the full gospel with him.
