Christchurch (NZ) Team

It’s been 7 years since I started getting supported by Operation 513 in evangelism.  It’s been hard work, but it’s been wonderful work.  Those first couple of years were tough - pure street work.  Now I have the ability to work online too, which brings some balance.  And also, in the early days, we spent 2 years bringing the gospel to the issue of abortion outside Christchurch Hospital on Friday mornings.  That attracted a lot of hate and tension, and I really struggled with it, yet I don’t regret it.  Sin is serious; God’s grace is amazing.

 

I’m so aware of how feeble my efforts have been.  I’m trusting that God has and will continue to show his strength through my weakness.  Who knows what the future will bring.  God knows.  And I’m trusting he will guide my path.  I’m holding everything lightly in my hands; may His kingdom come and His will be done.

 

If it be his will, I want to continue what I’m doing till I’m 96, pushing my walking frame down Colombo Street to the corner of Cashel Street, and telling the young people about Jesus.  (He is worthy!  Right?)  “Excuse me young man, can I ask you a question?  What do you think happens after life?”  But if it be His will that I do something else, so be it.  Even better, may Jesus return today!

 

So, what happened in the month of November?  We had a special outreach!  The 3 day Canterbury A&P Show Outreach.  It was great having Mike Ryan sorting the organisation this year - really appreciated that bro!  We had a solid team working shifts running a site where we set up our gazebo, a table with tracts and Bibles, and gospel flipcharts.  We were right across from the carnival this year.

 

The weather wasn’t so good on the first day, and yet, I still had some very special gospel chats.  I can still clearly see the face of one young lady, who believed in God but thought she was good enough for heaven.  Her face beamed as the logic of the gospel clicked in her thinking, in light of the law showing her her sin.

 

The weather was great on the 2nd day, which was the busiest day anyway.  The morning and early afternoon of the 3rd day was great too, but then an intense  thunder / hail storm hit.  It killed the rest of the afternoon, as everyone left, running for their cars.  We were huddling under our gazebo, when a kid ducked in for cover too.  He was right in front of me, and so I asked, “hey man, can I ask, what do you think happens after life?”.  “Nothing”.  “So, you don’t believe in God?”  “No”.  “But, if I told you the ferries wheel made itself would you believe me?”  “No”.  “Right, so, wouldn’t this universe have to have a maker too?”.  He stared at me and then he bolted.  Haha, he’d rather face the storm than stay in shelter with me talking about the true God of justice  he knows exists!

 

Of course, all the other usual street and online outreaches have been happening.  I’m going to have to let the pictures do the talking.

 

Thank you to all those who have actually read these reports over the years.  I hope they have been an encouragement to you for the evangelism opportunities in your own life.  May we all continue to grow in this.  Also, thank you for the financial and prayer support that you have been making to enable me to do this.  I’m looking forward to us being able to cast our crowns at the feet of Jesus.  Only He is worthy.  All glory to God alone!

Rejoice to have Johnny coming back from Taiwan to team up with me at Toowong. We were led by the Spirit to connect with the elected persons for a divine conversation chat. In general, the overall result was good with only small ratio of unsuccessful approach. For me I chatted for a longer time with with Catholic Christian from a cross breed family of NZ & PNG. A Lady from Sudan, and a local Aussie man that earned me a selfie with them.

Johnny had also got many long gospel sharing conversation even with Mainlander Chinese. It is all the Gospel power of God that prepared their heart for the gospel message.

Praised be to God, Phoebe the 20th Online Kairos graduates has shown the most extraordinary significant life integration transformation progress towards the target of becoming a fair dinkum World Christian. She relives the life example of John Wesley in a new bottom line giving life pattern. She also starts practicing a new life of on mission with God started sharing gospel to her colleagues. That is why she asked me for small NT bible as a give away gift to her non-believer friend in the process of pursuing God and salvation. I took this chance to invite her to come on Sunday after her Sunday service in Brisbane before returning to her Gold Coast home. We met at the bus stop at 1115 and I did a round of gospel outreach demo and then lead her to observe how I did outreach to a group of young guys from Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia. Then I encouraged her to did her first street outreach to let her have a taste of on mission with God removing her fear in flesh but be bold in the strength of God. It was a successful outreach. In the meantime, I did my own outreach to other including particularly a Sikh Indian who are open to the gospel of Christianity.

I was led to have long conversation with two Chinese Mainland students who both appeared very open and receptive to the Gospel. First was a young man from Shenzhen but originally from Shanxi and been to many other places as such he appears to have wider exposure of life and a broad world view to embrace new ideas even cross culturally. He did not shy away from gospel chat but show real appreciation of the rationale behind the fundamental doctrine that human could only reconnect with the heavenly kingdom unless we return to be perfect. The Immigration requirements for application on condition of a Crime free certificate best explained the meaning of perfect is to have perfectly no any crime record. If we admit that human character wise, no one is perfect, that implies every one has been disqualified for regaining the heavenly citizenship. It appears very convincingly an argument to move the young man one step away from the decision to accept Jesus as his savior.

Likewise, another girl from China is even closer to professing saving faith, She is attending the Chinese Church in St Lucia and finding it comforter to adapt to church life. After hearing the same gospel presentation. I seemed to have convinced her there is no more reason or obstacle to prevent her to make her final step of action faith to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior.

Hurrah! Edwin rejoined me to day at Sunnybank. Together, we reached great number of people. Edwin inclined to make quick chat of the nutshell of the gospel in very rush situation with the quick bus arriving schedule.

As for me, I was led to have several long conversation with Christians apart from non-believers. One was with a Christian young couples from a local Aussie church called Village Avenue Community Church. The have very clear and accurate understanding of Bible Doctrine and passed the Assurance of Salvation test. I just shared and guided them to have a deeper appreciation of God's three fold deliverance providing a sound and comprehensive package of His holistic salvation plan and how this will be carried through for consummation at the end time in the last Millennium leading into the eternal new heaven and new earth state. It was a joyful and mutually edification process to discuss and dig deep on many important doctrinal issues.

Then I was led to catch up with a PhD of Griffith on Political and International Study. He is an American born Korean from a half Christian family with Mom as Christian. He admitted he grew up as a atheist but was led to Christ through a dream seeing Jesus and other vision. This has been propelling him to pursue his PhD study from a Kingdom world view of God relating political happenings around the world especially the new fronts formed between the communist regime and the free basically Christian world. All the signs are pointing towards the imminent 2nd coming of Christ to fulfill the end time prophecy.

It was a day of thrilling joy by engaging into all these divine encounters and mutually edifying conversation.

Have a shorter outreach to day having three significant chat with a Christian from Singapore, A non-believer from Taiwan and another non-believer from Mainland China.

The Singapore Christian is from a Christian family and has nor special personal encounter with God lacking the so called conviction moment. He naturally does not have assurance of salvation but was appreciative for me to clarify the concept and biblical teaching to him. The Taiwan non-believer is however open and receptive to the Gospel though we only chatted for a very brief time. As for the Mainlander, because of huis atheist background in a communist country, he could not find loophole to reject the gospel and rationale of needing Jesus to make us clean and whole again to reconcile with God by means of His redemptive grace. He could not set himself free to embrace the free gift of eternal life offered to him.

God anyway has His timing for them to enter into these three divine encounters for both their sake to receive truth but also for my benefit to keep serving God and on mission with Him.

I was led to connect with two Chinese younger or middle age men from Taiwan and Mainland China respectively. Both of them have exposed to western or Christianity culture. The one from Taiwan actually was born in NZ as such he is readily a Christian and professes orthodox faith having 100% assurance of salvation. The one from Xu Zhou Jiang so has also lived in NZ and Australia for a long time. Thus he is opened and receptive to the gospel message. There were numerous shorter chats due to bus quick arriving schedule.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday Nov 11, 2025 from 1030-1200

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.

Had several long chats first with an Indian Christian whom I met few month ago. He was the first person making a token donation to support our ministry. Today we had more time to learn about his status. He was born of a Christen family. His son is a pastor of a Brisbane Indian Church by the name of Glory. He gave a perfect answer to my test of assurance of salvation, with 100% because of what Jesus had done for us.

Another pleasant chat was with a Filipino Catholic but also giving me a perfect answer on the test of her assurance of salvation. It was simple and concise 100% because of the cross that readily encompassed the facts of Jesus dying for us on the cross.

There were several chats with non-believers of which some showed no interest but for a couple who were willing to chat, they basically appeared open and receptive to the message.
