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.

After a slightly tiring Walk the Wall yesterday, I was a bit empty in energy as well as in mind as such I forgot to bring my iPhone to the street outreach. Thanks to Johnny he still was able to take a couple of phots for me, especially for a very interesting and important chat that was imitated by an fallen ex-Catholic. He overheard my gospel sharing with an Indonesian Islamic lady and felt that my passion of evangelism was driven by my insufficient or incorrect knowledge about the Christian God. He purposely skipped his bus and sat down with me to challenge me if God is all knowing that human will sin against Him, why he still bothered to create human that is destined for eternal death in hell. My apologetic feedback went this way; Yes God is all knowing, as such he knew the fallen angels are all beyond redemption even given chance for them to repent. Actually , the rebellious angels turned Satan have been defeated and casted down to abbyid of the earth before 6 days creation where it was a place of all darkness without light. God gave them a chance to seduced and tempted human which He created in His 6 days creation. His fore knowledge knew that with free will human may fail momentarily to the temptation of Satan and sinned against God, but through the agape love that God has shown to human even when they have all become enemy of God, to the extent even sending His begotten son to be born to die for us on the cross and descended to hell to make himself available to be our Savior taking our place to receive the punishment of eternal death. So through His all knowing character, He is certain that fallen human will eventually be moved by the sacrificial love of God and be benefited by His atoning grace to reconcile with God and resume the unfinished development of mutually loving relationship between God and Human into eternity.

I complimented this guy for his eagerness to get his mystery about God and His mission clarified by rational and fair dialogue. He was glad for this chat and indicated he would like to chat with me if God let us meet again.

I had many other interesting dialogue, for example, with an Australian born Sri Lanka girl who happened to be also a Catholic Christian but lacking assurance of salvation. Then a chat with an Indian matured age man who enlightened me with a knowledge that the Caste system was invented by the British, but I questioned him why the highest caste is all the Priest or Brahman,

a member of the highest Hindu caste, that of the priesthood. He shocked me saying actually it was not true, in every social class, they all should play the role of Priest which aligned with the Biblical teaching of Priesthood of all Believers. In retrospect, I think I should have asked if he is readily a Christian.

Anyway, it was a very interesting and fruitful outreach.

It was a warm Spring liked end of Winter day. The fresh and sunny weather gave every one at the bus stop a fresher and cheerful mood. God led us to have conversation to both new people and some having chatted before even last week. It gave us chance to do follow up check to reinforce the message that all good person as long as not perfect, we all need an external agent to save us from eternal disqualification for a heavenly citizenship. All those who heard the gospel all appeared receptive and affirming the rationale that all the good persons, as long as they are not perfect, all need an external agents , who is Jesus Christ, the Son of God to incarnate as a perfect human being but not belonging to the fallen human race, to come and die for us as such in hell he took our place to receive the eternal death punishment to set our imperfect sin record straight and cleaned without sin anymore.

Pray that all who heard the gospel will be led to Christ by God's gracious election, in His time.
