Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Aug 2, 2023 from 1300-1500

Praise be to the Lord, the Street Outreach Squad has grown from strength to strength by the grace and calling of God. Today Jase joined the regular Sunnybank squad making a team of five including Johnny, Hung, Amy, Qin Hao and Jase Lemont. We split into two teams with Amy and Jase going over to the Eastern side of Mains Road. Qin is very gifted in hitting gospel target with high efficiency. Sharing the core message in quick time. I somehow found that for those who has been reached by Qin, I can do some follow up or supplement work. We make a very effective oneness team to serve in His strength in Christ. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) First I caught up with a lady from Nanjing, Jiangsu . Johnny had chatted with her before, but I still followed up on her status finding that she still think Buddhism is good enough for her to have and happy life. I stressed again that all religions are not bad in guiding people to be a good person, but it does not resolve the issue of our sin. May this message shed light on her path of seeking of faith.

2) Then I approached a Filipino who had no assurance of salvation. I clarified this to him and his friend arrived just then to pick him up by car ending this conversation.

3) Then I chatted with another Filipino lady just enough time for the nutshell of the gospel.

4) Edith a Christian lady from Kenya that Qin had approached. I carried on to test her assurance of salvation which is perfectly 100% sure because of Christ alone. She was encouraged to notice that she is the rare species of Christian who has 100% assurance of salvation.

5) Then I was moved to catch up with a Chen Couples from Guangzhou who are on a self-managed off hand tour around the world. . They came up from Melbourne and I shared with him my similar kind self-managed tour date back in 1974 and then my salvation testimony. He was over joyed to be able to meet up with me that can identify with their chosen form of life. He happily took both Chinese and English tracts as he believed message and sharing form me was noteworthy and credible.

6) Then I briefly Connected again with a Filipino that I met in the past weeks though it was interrupted by the quick arrival of his bus.

7) Then I was moved to catch up with a Taiwanese guy from Kaohsiung. He was fully open and all receptive to the gospel message.

8 ) Then I was moved to catch up with a man from Thailand who sat at the farthest side of the bench. Despite Qin had chatted with him and given him a tract. I dug deeper to have a long chat with him explaining the difference of Christianity with all other world religions including Buddhism. He was also open and receptive to the gospel message.

9) Last but not the least I caught up with a lady from Chengdu. We clicked for a long chat when she learned I was part of the earthquake disaster relief team in 2008. Her attitude changed from care free to seriousness in the issue of sin. Pray for God continuous work on her until we met next time again.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 26/7/2023 from 1300-1500

Praise be to God that Qin Hao has been moved to become a regular Gospel Outreach team member to serve at Sunnybank every Wednesday with Johnny and Hung. We thank God for Qin Hao who is a very productive member grasping every opportunity to reach out to people assembling at the Bus Stop on the Eastern side of Mains Road. God uses our team work to cover as many varieties of people group as possible during our 2-hour ministry hour. With the team division of work, Johnny focus on approaching Chinese speaking people leaving English speaking target to Qin Hao and Hung. But aftercall, it was the work of the Holy Spirit to guide us to make our individual approach and will follow up on the response of those gospel target when they are moved to read the tract and home with their heart being touched and moved by the Spirit to make their respective faith response. We are just the vessel used by God to channel the bottom-line blessing to people of all nations.

1) Joseph and Jim were two QUT students from India. They were both very open and keen to listen to the full gospel and appeared very receptive. They took a tract to read and ponder afterwards to make their faith decision.

2) Next, I was led to approach a QUT students from Taiwan. Again, very open and receptive to the Gospel.

3) Then came a Mainlander girl but was persistently not interested to talk about faith issue. Still managed to chat it out on other softer issue but at the end, still refused to take a tract after listening to the gospel.

4) Ella an Indonesian lady who quickly disclosed she is a Christian when Qin Hao approached her. I quickly took over to test for her assurance of salvation which surprisingly is 100% certain simply because of the redemptive work of Jesus taking our place to receive the punishment of our sin. I asked if this orthodox teaching applies to the whole congregation or just to a few matured Christian like her. She claimed it is the norm that everyone at their church is very clear about the gospel and salvation. I can only give all praise and glory to God that amidst a Muslim country, Indonesia Christian can be so matured. I only hope and pray that they will also be mobilized to share the gospel in Indonesia to their own people and cross culturally to other ethnic groups.

5) After that, there came a large group of teenagers possibly from a private high school. Qin reacted quickly handing out tracts to many of the students waiting for their coach to come and many of them did read the tract immediately on the spot. But after they boarded their chartered bus but still waiting at the bus stop. A young handsome boy came to the bust stop and sat down by my side. Girls on the bus kept signing him as if they were friends. But this handsome boy Birdie claimed he knew none of the girl on the bus. Anyway, I got connected with him because of this brief exchange of words and ended up sharing him also the full gospel. He also took a tract to ponder on the salvation issue and to make his step of faith decision accordingly.

6) Then I approached a Korean girl who is a non-believer. She also appeared open and receptive to the gospel.

7) Then I turned to a Chinese lady who claimed herself a Buddhist. She also said she had already had a chat with Winnie at Toowong. I nevertheless still repeat the gospel message to him stressing Buddhism is good bout only guided us to be a good person but could not resolve the issue of sin. She appeared a bit too resistant to all other religion other than Buddhism despite I clarified to her that Buddhism is actually not religion but a kind of education to teach people to be a good person.

8 ) Lastly, I caught up with a Buddhism lady Mardi from Bhutan, I took long time to share her the gospel with many side dish of testimony. She anyway was a bit too proud of her Country being ranked as no one happy country as such she even thought there might be perfect person in their community. But of course, going through the tract, she finally admitted there is no perfect person in the human race and that as long as we are not perfect, then we all need a saviour to cover up our imperfection or sin by His sacrificial blood.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 12/7/2023 from 1300-1500

Praise be to God to move Qin Hao to join us at Sunnybank despite Bible college school term has restarted. He could not come on Tuesday as there is class at BST but he was moved to come on Wednesday to join the Sunny bank Outreach. The three of us made a good team supporting and supplementing each other’s. Qin Hao is very quick and determined to approach stranger without hesitation. So by sight, he got the most number of divine appointments to share the gospel. I took a relax approach and at time pick up some Christians outreached by Qin first but I continued on for clarification of their assurance of salvation. Johnny again had got fruitful result today leading many people including a HongKonger just a step away from salvation by accepting Jesus. Recap below is anyway the Battle Log of Hung.

1) I was moved to approached madam Xu. ? originally from Shanghai but migrated to New Zealand? and then now ended up in Brisbane Australia. She was actually waiting for her daughter to come to pick her up. When I approached her, she had the common initial reluctant to chat using excuse that she got a flu and really put on her mast. I was moved to stay put though keep a safety distance from her. She seemingly was impressed by my persistence and passion to share the gospel so God softened her heart to listen up my full gospel sharing. She even recognized Qin as my team members when he came to evangelize someone besides her. She was happy to take a tract and introduce me to her daughter who thought we were friend. Pray that this divine encounter will bear fruit in His time.

2) Gloria a Christian girl from Solomon Island of Seven-day Adventist background, I spent considerable time to test her assurance of salvation which was found lacking. Then I shared many Bible doctrines and strengthened her faith in Jesus. I even clarified some controversial prediction of Jesus 2nd coming by the Adventist denomination which was admitted wrong as such their doctrinal stand nowadays is no different from other evangelical churches.

3) Mia from Sudan was initially approached by Qin but prepared to quit after knowing she is a Christian. I took the chance to demonstrate to Qin that we still have a task to diagnose the assurance of salvation of every self-proclaimed Christians. Again, Mia was lacking of 100 % assurance of salvation which was clarified in length. She was moved to ask where my church is. I anyway advised her stay with her own church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

4) After Mia left, I approached a family of three but I mainly chatted with the daughter. The family was from Guangzhou for sight-seeing. That was the excuse the daughter young lady used to reject chatting as she thought I was trying to convert here and bring her to church. Another excuse was they are Buddhist but I insist to share the gospel message as a cross cultural concept. Basically, I shared the nutshell of the gospel to the daughter while the mum kept leaving the seat to check the Bus arrival schedule screen.

5) Then I was moved to approach Joseph and her girlfriend both from Indonesia Jakarta, They are not Christian but also possible not a Muslim. He appeared very friendly and open for a chat. I could only manage to make a start but the bus came. He anyway seriously asked for a tract to read himself. Pray for God's own follow up and change of heart work.

6) Then I was led to meet yet another Japanese girl who came to study English. I greeted her in very fluent Japanese to gain the right to carry on with the chat. Again, her bus came far too quick and cut our conversation short.

7) Daniel Liu was a mainlander but Johnny shared the gospel to him years ago. He obviously was moved to accept Christ and once attended the Rock Church at Church of Christ at Station Road. But he did not attend "The Rock" anymore. Pray for God's guidance to lead Daniel not just accepts Jesus to become a nominal Christian but a World Christian on mission.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 5/7/2023 from 1300-1500

In contrast to an all wet and rainy day yesterday, praised be to the Lord we have a bright and sunny day for Street Outreach at Sunny bank. It was a pity Qin could not join us to day in his last week of term break from BST study. So just Johnny and I teamed up as usual. God led us into different gospel sharing divine encounters or faith building sharing with Christian of varying spiritual maturity level. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung: -

1) First I was led to two ABC high school girls of grade 9 who claimed that they had spoken before with possibly Qin Hao last week. They claimed they had other religion but nevertheless they had understood the message through the chat and the tract. However, it seemed that they were not yet getting the point. But they were very opened to the gospel sharing and not that resistant to the message about our need to be redeemed by Jesus.

2) Madam Zhang ?an ex-EMP Methodist member but now is with Hill Song. She has enough Bible knowledge but is still struggling to have full Assurance of salvation. The root cause is not at all clear about the salvation package by God in three stages, namely the 3 fold deliverance in the Past, Current and future. We had a long chat and hopefully cleared up the myth of God's grace in her mind.

3) Madam Li ? from Henan appeared very friendly as I connected with her in her by greeting in her local dialect. She showed no uncomfortable talking to me as a Christian Pastor. Time run out when her bus arrived but she happily took a tract to read.

4) Then I was moved to approach Elizabeth a young non-believer girl but also appeared very receptive. Thanks God I had just enough time to share her the full gospel which she admitted that she heard it for the first time but found it sensible logical and rational. She seemed to have no resistance at all to make her last step of faith to accept Jesus as here Saviour and Lord. She showed her appreciation to take a selfie with me though the bus was ready to go. Pray for God's last follow up work to send the Sprit to bring her the conviction to receive Christ as Saviour and Lord of her life.

5) Then I came across a Hongkonger , but he was all resistance to any religious talk. Yet by the Spirit I still managed to share him the full gospel in a nutshell.

6) Then I picked up a Pakistan mum and daughter who again appeared very friendly. But time ran out for me to share as her bus came quickly. Just managed to leave a tract.

7) Last but not the least, I was led to connect with Madman Guo? from Shandong Tsing Dao. We clicked in many way and I even shared with her my mission trips in China. She was happy to take a tract and promised to understand the message I am so passionate to convey to her.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 281/6/2023 from 1300-1500

Praise be to God that Hao Qin joined us for the consecutive 2nd day. He seemed to be deeply driven to work with us as a team for the long haul, not just for two tern break weeks as previously thought. He actually had the first taste of street outreach under Andrew Walkington when he did the Evangelism course with BST in 2021. We missed the chance to meet each other then as Andrew might have brought them to Sunnybank at a different time. Anyway, after two years, God moved him to respond to Johnny’s calling to join our weekly outreach. It seemed that God even has moved him to summon more capable younger brothers& sisters of the Sherwood church to build an outreach team in His time like what God has raised up His gospel outreach team in GCCCC, SCCCC and Antioch Lutheran most recently. Hao Qin was apparently gifted in cross cultural evangelism in both language wise and boldness in making a quick approach as led by the spirit. We formed a good team complementing each other’s. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) First approach was to a person from Jie Jiang China who showed no interest but still I shared him the nutshell of the Gospel.? ,

2) Anna a Vietnamese lady who chatted with Johnny before has assurance of salivation but need a bit more clarification as her English is not good enough to explain why she has 100 % assurance of salvation. But it was really a very rare case for a Christian from an originally Buddhism country.

4) Then I connected with a Vietnamese lady of Buddhism background. She expressed no interest to chat but I still manage to chat and share the gospel until the bus came.

Initially they rejected our approach, but I did not give up and found out that they were new comer to study at QUT who had just arrived and need to take a bus to garden point of the CBD. They were lost for direction and was about to make a wrong turn. I stopped them in time and guide them to take the next bus to Queen Street Bus terminal. They turned around become very appreciative for my help and took the initiative to take a tract when their bus came. They also were very happy to take a selfie with me and pray that God will lead them to meet with another evangelist hopefully with OAC guys at Garden Point QUT campus.

6) Met again with Catherine a Catholic Christian from Philippine whom I met her first time on May 24th. To my surprised she has very clear understanding of the gospel with 100 % assurance of salivation. She was delighted to take a selfie with me. It was good I met her again today and recognized her for mutual encouragement.

7) Two ladies rejected Qin but I caught up with the Spanish speaking lady later. We had a good chat as I could connect with her in a bit Spanish. I managed to give her a tract to read when they had to leave the bus stop.

9) I Met with another Filipino lady of Catholic faith. She was open to the gospel and was happy also to have assurance of salavati0on clarified.

10) Last but not the least I connected with a lady by the name Zhang from Wenzhou of Jie Jiang. It was the Jerusalem in China because of greatest proportion of Christian as well as the number of missionaries sent out. She is from a Christian Family, and boldly admitted she is Christian. But her teaching about salvation is not sound as such she did not have assurance of salvation. which I clarified for her thoroughly. . She thanked me for that and dared to take a selfie with me which is the first ever for me with a mainlander Christian.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 21/6/2023 from 1300-1500

Amy was able to join Johnny and Hung today at Sunnybank and God used us to bless many people abundantly. In particular, Amy brought Holly an Aussie young girl to Christ on the spot. It is an observation through our usual outreach experience that people of all other nations are far easier for reach out to have good quality conversation then the mainlanders. Situation has changed a bit in the past 6 months that more younger persons from Mainland China appeared more softened and open to the gospel. But there are still a majority of Mainlander do not want to be bothered by the gospel sharing. Today, as a team, we felt awarded with real person receiving Christ on the spot and promised to follow Christ by finding a church as their spiritual home and school. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) First approach to a Filipino, despite of their Catholic background, I was rejected for a chat.

2) Next, I approached a Mauritius lady. She was willing for a chat, but her bus came too quick that I could only touch on the nutshell of the Gospel as such she only took a tract.

3) Then I approached another African who was busy in texting as such he also only took a tract

4) Then came Sister Susan Zhang of Logos Church from Fuzhou Johnny chatted with her many times before but I met her first-time last week. She greeted me as such I originally attempted to test and clarify if she understands gospel completely and has assurance of salvation. But then Johnny chipped in and took over the conversation. I overheard anyway that Sister Zhang actually has no assurance of salvation and does not understand the gospel correctly.

5) Then I faced two more blunt rejections from one Korean and one Mainland Chinese.

6) Then God led me to reunion with a Couples boy and girl friends , Wu ? & Yao?from Guangzhou. Followed up and refreshed their memory and understanding of the gospel and the both showed great receptiveness of salvation. Keep praying for God's timing to guide them to make the last step of faith .

7) Then God led me to cross over to the other side of the Main Road to check how Amy was doing. I was glad to find out that Amy had led a local Aussie girl Holly Samways to Christ. I took the chance to share my testimony as part of the conversion instant discipleship.

8 ) Two Chinese girl of UQ student. Both appeared opened for a chat and one is from Tian Jin. But they declined to take a track.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 14/6/2023 from 1300-1500

Today, still only Johnny and Hung teamed up to serve at Sunnybank. There was equal chance to chat with Chinese and people of all culture. Today I met a very rare African from Djibouti. I had to even look up the country name after going home to be sure this is where that two African guys are from. So, God does lead and guide us to meet randomly people of all nations though with His predestined Will. We simply just follow and serve whoever God led us to approach with boldness and courage and in His strength. Recap is the Battle log of Hung.

0) Approached first a Filipino New Zealander. He Claimed himself an Atheist. Tried to have a friendly ice braking chat first but still being declined with the excuse of listening to learning stuff over the earphone. Irrespective of this polite but disheartening rejection, God rewarded me with a long and fruitful chat as follows.

1) I was led to approach Zhu from Hangzhou , because he seemed not waiting for bus but friend. When I was about to make my approach, he suddenly took the iPhone to shoot shot video over people on the pedestrian bridge which I learned later was his girlfriend. We connected because I was a visitor to his city in 1973 before he was born. God let us have a very long chat allowing me to share the full gospel with many testimonies. Even this is the first time he heard the gospel; his heart is very softened and ready for it with high degree of receptiveness. I gave him non pressure, but ask him to share the tract or my message to his girlfriend after she came back. Both are very pleasant polite and friendly persons. I reckon Mr hu is just a step from accepting Jesus Christ as his Saviour. I left him a lead to look for Power to Change if he finally receive Jesus as Saviour or he want to learn more from other Christians at the UQ Campus.

2) Next I approached a Korean Atheist not willing to chat, but I still managed to share the core gospel message to him.

3) Susan Zhang a Logos Church member of the Mackenzie Congregation. Johnny has chatted with her many times though not me, but Susan also recognized me as the Gospel outreach partner of Johnny. We witnessed her journey of faith from non-believers met us on the street and finally joining Logos Church and be baptised. We pray that our life witnesses will move her to be mobilized to assume more active gospel outreach work.

4) Then I was led to approach two African guys from Djibouti . Because of their limited English level, it was very hard to communicate with them. I took some time to get his country name right which I have no knowledge of it before. They are a comparatively newly independent country with Islamic as their National religion. Possibly for this reason, Johnny's first approach was rejected. I any way still tried to make friend with them first knowing they came for English study. So it was definitely helpful to have a good chat in English with them. Limited gospel message was shared as their bus came quite quickly. Nevertheless, he voluntarily asked for a tract be given to him by putting in his shopping bag. Pray that this iota of action pathed by God will bear fruit eventually.

Djibouti[a], officially the Republic of Djibouti, is a country in the Horn of Africa, bordered by Somalia to the south, Ethiopia to the southwest, Eritrea in the north, and the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden to the east. The country has an area of 23,200 km2 (8,958 sq mi).

5) Then I was led to approach a Filipino of Catholic Christian background. I connected with him through a Chinese Tattoo on his fore arm which he thought is Japanese. I went straight to test for his assurance of salvation which was obviously in lacking. Only had time for a quick clarification before the bus arrived.

6) Then God let me had another long Chat with a Peru young man from a Catholic Christian family background. He admitted he is not religious or literally not yet a believer. He came for English study at the school at Kangaroo point that was possibly the reason he was moved to have a long chat with me. I shared him the full gospel and guided him to ponder if he and everyone else all agree we are not perfect having all sort of shortcoming and weak point in our human characters, will there be no need for us be held accountable for our imperfection aka sins in God eyes. His heart was softened to accept this fact as such this needs for all good person to seek Jesus as our Saviour. We were too carry away with our deep conversation as such he missed his bus that he had to wait for another 11 minutes for the next bus. But he deemed it is worthy for having such chat. We took a selfie and he was still looking at his smart phone to look for the next bus. Pray for his ultimate salvation by faith through grace, not by family inheritance.

7) Then I caught up with a young girl Li ?from Tianjin who is an UQ students. Our ice breaking chat was interrupted by the arrival of a bus which was not what she want. So, God gave me a 2nd chance to share the full gospel to her with good receptiveness.

8 ) Finally, I had yet another long chat with two HongKong girls, one studies at Griffith and the other at Bond. They quickly disclosed they are Christians so I jump right a head to test their assurance of salvation. Their answer to Q1 & 2 were all good and correct but with a very hesitant tone. This I still went through the explanation for them to become firmer and more steadfast in term of their Christian faith. We took a selfie quickly when the bus came and I asked which church do they attend in Gold Coast and Hurrah it is GCCCC. So pray that they now know that their church has a Street Gospel outreach warrior team serving every Thursday afternoon at Southport and hoping that one day they will join us there.

In antiquity, the territory, together with Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somaliland, was part of the Land of Punt. Nearby Zeila, now in Somaliland, was the seat of the medieval Adal and Ifat Sultanates. In the late 19th century, the colony of French Somaliland was established after the ruling Dir Somali sultans signed treaties with the French, and its railroad to Dire Dawa (and later Addis Ababa) allowed it to quickly supersede Zeila as the port for southern Ethiopia and the Ogaden. It was renamed the French Territory of the Afars and the Issas in 1967. A decade later, the Djiboutian people voted for independence. This officially marked the establishment of the Republic of Djibouti, named after its capital city. The new state joined the United Nations. In the early 1990s, tensions over government representation led to armed conflict, which ended in a power-sharing agreement in 2000 between the ruling party and the opposition.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 7/6/2023 from 1300-1500

What a pity, Amy was still sick with coughing that even her son Joshua had placement for pre-school, she still could not join Hung and Johnny. Nevertheless, ministry had to go on irrespective of any sort of hindrance or spiritual warfare. Both of us had consecutive divine encounter with both non-believers and nominal Christians. Many had led to fruitful result. Recap bellow is the Battle Log of Hung:

1) First approach was with an Aussie girl but just enough for a conclusion and handing out a tract.

3) Then I had a chat with an English-speaking Malaysian Chinese. Time was a bit short but still managed to share the nutshell of the Gospel.

4) Next was with an Indonesian old lady, despite of her Muslim faith. She was opened to the gospel and appeared receptive to the message.

5)An elderly man Liu from Chung Shan, China, claimed himself a Buddhist?. God let me had more than average enough time to stress the point that being Good alone is no use to offset stain of sin from our imperfected or corrupted human character. Both good and bad guys all need Jesus as Saviour and Lord of our born-again life.

6) Then I chatted with Mummy Lin from Guangzhou. She is the first and only on deem that there may be perfect person in the fallen world. . But she was actually referring to Jesus who was the onlyborn perfect person that has the capacity to save us by his atoning death.

7) An UQ Uni student by the name Li ?is from Xiamen, Fu Jiang , just got into gospel but not yet mentioning the Cross . Pray for follow up chat in future.

10) Then I picked up a South African who was waiting to be picked up. Just managed to pass on a tract as the pickup car arrived in no time.

Today, again only Johnny and Hung were available for the Sunnybank Street outreach. Amy and her too kids were all sick at home. Today, we again were mostly occupied with a chat. And today especially for Hung, I had less but many more long chats which were so obviously arranged by God with elected people that we had met before but carried on this time for a very long and deep chat on the gospel as well as my personal life witnesses. Another phenomenon today was that majority were Mainlanders coming here for UQ study but they all live in Sunnybank with two even coming from the same city of We Xi in Jiangsu China.

1) First, I was led to approach Boyd a Filipino Catholic Christian. He was very appreciative for my help to have his assurance of salvation clarified, as such he was happy to take a selfie with me to signify this divine encounter.

2) Then I was led to approach a girl by the surname of Wang ?from Wu Xi Jiangsu. He was of Buddhism faith but found the gospel appealing. She was amaze to know that Buddhism is not a religion as it worships no god in its original form. Budda Secamuri only promote a way of life to uplift himself to reach Nevera, a state that he become immune against temptation?I also proved to her the scientific aspect of Bible using 6 days creation as an example. She really found it interesting and convincing. She took a tract to read before we were apart when the bus came.

3) Mark an unofficial atheist believing in no god but aliens. I used again the 6 days creation to prove to him the trustworthy and scientific aspect of the Bible and left him with a tract to contemplate.

4) Then I caught up with a girl by the name of Yao?from Guangzhou . She said she met me 3 weeks ago with her male classmate. . They are UQ students but all live in Sunnybank to take 139 bus to cross the Green Bridge to UQ. Thanks God that the bus was late as such I had almost half an hour time to share here the full gospel and then went through my personal salvation witnesses. She was very moved with a very softened heart and willing to ponder to make her last step of faith.

5) Then I was led to chat with yet another girl from Guangzhou she was willing to listen to my full gospel sharing , but at the end declined my offer of the tract.

6) Daniel is an Australian born Indian ABI. He is a timid boy but appeared all receptive to the gospel message.

7) Finally, I caught up with yet another man from Wu Xi , he was willing to listen and raise no question about the gospel. But at the end, he did not take a tract.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 24/5/2023 from 1300-1500

Johnny originally thought he would still be caught up in other matter as such sent me his apology to come. So, Amy and I start the ministry first. To our surprised Johnny quickly re-join us only half an hour later after his personal matter was done. Amy first served at the Western Bus stop and later moved to serve as the Easter Bus stop with Johnny and me left behind. Together, again the Spirit led us to have long and fruitful conversation with many non-believers. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung alone: -

1) The first woman I approached is from Cambodia who said she had many chats with most of us before. . Anyhow, I still managed to revise the message with her.
2) The next I approached was Brendon who claimed he had chatted with me at least five times before. He is an ABC with parents from Hong Kong and China. He claimed he has underst00d the full gospel but he still deemed his time to make the last step of faith has not come yet. I promise will keep praying for this last moment for him to come in His time.
3) Then I was moved to approach Wu ?from Mainland China with his partner. Initially he was very reluctant to listen but I use a soft approach to share my past experience in China for first earthquake relief then care for disabled orphans then Mr Wu ' attitude was changed to become receptive and listening the full Gospel. He even got both Chinese and English version of our tract. Pray for God's follow up work through the Spirit.
4) Then I got connected with to Taiwanese . The younger one showed openness and willingness to listen the full gospel with an open mind and humble attitude. He took the tract and pray for God's follow up work.
5) Then I chatted with Catherine a Catholic Christian from Philippine. To mu surprised she has very clear understanding of the gospel with 100 % assurance of salivation. She was delighted to take a selfie with me.
6) Then the Spirit led me to pick up the same man from Xiamen I?chatted briefly. I was able to learn more about him who came to accompany his son for study he said he has read the tract and find interest in it. So, I pray I can meet him again next week for more chat.
7) Then I connected with a young man from Chung Shan . He sat at the very far side of the side bench smoking so that it will not affect another person. He was even willing to skip a bus to let me finish the full gospel and expressed a rational and open mind towards Christianity. Pray for another chance to chat next week.
8 ) Finally , I had a longest chat first time with a German from Frankfurt. I quickly can identify with him with my past visit to Germany visiting my PHD brother studying and teaching there as well as my tourism visit including the historic breaking sown of the Berlin Wall. Joshua admitted he was a nominal Christian with no live connection with God in his grown-up life. But the Spirit led me to revive his soul to understand his once decision to accept Jesus is still for ever effective to be granted back the loss heavenly citizenship and the life of born-again Christians are all not yet perfect but needed to be transformed by the work of the Holy Spirit back to perfection. I thus also helped him to re-establish the assurance of salivation and pray that he will be moved to reconnect with God personally first then back to have normal church life.
