Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Sept 10th 2025 from 1030-1200

Doing solo at Sunnybank with majority of gospel targets from Hong Kong and Mainland China too. All of them are non-believers. They are migrants for many years, so still got few chance to hear the gospel. In general, their feed back were open and receptive though still lacking the urgency because of comfortable life here in Australia. One is a retired chef, moving from Sunshine coast to Brisbane. Their top priority is to enjoy a retired life. I anyway also took the chance to invite them to the Peace and Hope Concert on this Saturday in the evening at the Hope community church. They all showed interest to attend, hopefully not out of politeness. I also had chance to approach local Aussie lady, who also appeared open and receptive to the gospel message and also promise to attend the Peace and Hope Concert. I ended up also handing out left over small poster of the concert at the local shop across the road of the Salvation Army Church venue where the Concert will be held.

It is a pity that after the street outreach time at Sunnybank is changed to 1030, it clashes every now and then with Johnny's own church's ministry on week day. Today, he again had to lead and speak at a home group.

My outreach time was shredded a bit as I also need to deal with a CCCOWE ministry trip arrangement for next year. Nevertheless, I was led to have a long chat with a elderly man from Somalia who has migrated to Australia since 2015. Yet his English is still very basic as such I had to intentionally speak in more simple English. At least I managed to make him aware of the fact that good deeds would not count in gaining salvation but trusting in Jesus alone to be our Savior. I also chatted with an Australian born Malaysian young man, he is non-religious but was open minded for gospel sharing. There were a few other short chats before I called it for the day.

Today Johnny was able to join me in Sunnybank to do street outreach under marvelous early Spring like weather condition despite we are legitimately still within the late Winter period.

God ble3ssed and used Johnny lately, leading him to share gospel with many non-believers who surprisingly responded to receive Christ right away after the gospel sharing. I also got many follow up opportunities to chat with some one we met and chatted before. Another amazing thing was God led us to meet repeatedly with people from Uzbekistan that we never came across before in the past years. Uzbekistan is a doubly landlocked country located in Central Asia. It is surrounded by five countries: Kazakhstan to the north, Kyrgyzstan to the northeast, Tajikistan to the southeast, Afghanistan to the south, and Turkmenistan to the southwest, making it one of only two doubly landlocked countries on Earth, the other being Liechtenstein. Islam is the predominant religion of 94.7%, and most Uzbeks are Sunni Muslims. So, it was very precious Kairos moment for us to share Gospel to them. In general, the gospel targets we met today including even those from Mainland were all open and receptive to Gospel with a couple of them even not minding to take selfie with me. So, mission matters and God's sovereign power counts.

Today was rainy and I was again serving solo at Sunnybank. General mood of people was not good. Just managed to have a few meaningful chats with a Hongkonger and a young man from

Uzbekistan in Central Asia that I have never met before. Mainlander in general are still the hardened heart people for outreach. I anyway caught up with a young girl who was approached before here by either Johnny or Edwin for some follow up chat.

Today, I was alone again to do the street outreach with all my team mates not available. Sunnybank uses to be a heard land for gospel outreach, so I just aimed to take a soft approach to get connected first especially with Mainlander. And today my first target was from Xian. My past visits to Xian twice helped me to quickly build rapport and could transit to gospel sharing. Then I was led to connect with yet another Indian Christian. He actually approached me with a purpose to show his support and appreciation. He even donate $20 which is the first time people doing this on the street. I anyway accepted it and will donate to Walk the Wall to support Ivano. He is also the rare clear minded Christian that answer the two diagnosis questions correct showing he has 100% assurance of salvation and a good biblical understanding of salvation. Many other approaches were either not complete and ineffective.

Both Johnny and Edwin were not available to day so I was left to do solo, but also for a short period. It was because mild flu symptom of bleeding and running nose. Irrespective of all these minor restraint, I still can manage to share gospel with many with mixed result. There were blunt ignoring if not straight rejection. There were half hearted ones hearing without listening or abrupt aborting the sharing midway. By the grace, there were also a couples of open and receptive ones. For instance , with Charloote a local Brisbane girl studying last year at UQ for Art. She is a non religious non-believers, but she was polite and considerate to let me share her the full gospel and ended up admitting it is all convincing for every one goof or bad, as long as we are imperfect, we all need the grace of God to save us through the atoning death of Jesus. She promised she will think deep and make her personal decision to accept Jesus in her personal private space. Another long and fruitful chat was with a Shanghainese couples. Basing on the common affiliation with Shanghai, I virtually shared my life witness to him even without much religious vocab. All in all, it was a blessed morning to let me keep my commitment to live a life on mission with God.

Praise be to God, that the three Street Gospel Warriors , namely Johnny, Edwin and Hung, assembled again to team up to preach the gospel at the Sunnybank Bus stop.

It is a fine day for outreach though with mixed results. We faced many rejections or reluctant listeners, but in the meantime, God also led many willing souls to listen to the gospel with open mind and general receptiveness to the gospel message and the logic behind. For the former group, they were in majority people from mainland China or even including some Hong Kongers. For the more receptive groups, they includes people from Pakistan, local Aussie mature woman and young Aussie girl doing Uni study , and girl from Africa. May God Will be done through all these divine encounter and gospel sharing conversation.

Hopefully, today is the last day I will have to do street outreach solo by myself and Johnny is coming back next week. It was though a very pleasant outreach experience having quality conversations with three open and receptive non-believers: first Adrian a half Aussie and half Japanese young man, than an Australian born Pakistan young man, and then an elderly Vietnamese lady who speaks good English having migrated to Australia for 50 years. They all were impressed by the logic of the gospel message that as long as we are not perfect in our human characters/natures, we are all subject to God's wrath and judgment unless we accept Jesus as our Savor taking over the punishment as well as consequence of eternal death or disqualification to rejoin God's kingdom. With such needs clearly established, all of them will ponder deeply to respond to the calling of God, in His time.

There were some other shorter conversations as such the gospel message was not fully preached. There was only one rejection of Gospel by a Congo couples. Nevertheless, all of these encounters should be regarded as divine appointments serving God's purpose in His Will and Plan.

Edwin teamed up with Hung today again to do street outreach. It was a fine day with warm sunshine. Yet the hearts of many of the people we approached were a bit cold and not receptive to the gospel. Nevertheless, there were still exceptions of several good chats experienced by Hung.

1) First with an senior man from Toowoomba who was just discharged from a day surgery at Sunnybank Private. It gave me to lead to stress life is vulnerable beyond our control that we must make the most important decision to straighten out the issue of our eternal being whether with God in heaven or apart from God in Hell.
2) Then I spotted a Filipino lady standing besides the dangerous spot at the bus stop where once a bus hit and smash on to a light post with its tail when leaving the bus stop. It again led to the issue of vulnerability of life that we must understand that all human will go to hell in doom day if our life is not perfect.
3) Then I caught up with another girl of Filipino dad and Aussie mum. She is very open and receptive to the gospel.
4) Last but not the least I spent the longest time with a Chinese Mainlander women who believes in fortune telling. She initially bound off to avoid me but the Spirit moved her to come back to me for a chat. I was led by the Spirit to spin around the conversation back to the gospel and showed her the only way to have eternal peace and hope is through Jesus.
