Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday Sept 22, 2021 From 1300 -1500

The windy weather died down today but a spiritual whirlwind sprouted up with spiritual warfare attack from all directions. It was reflected in the gospel targets we met. For Johnny, he had an apologetic exchange with a charismatic background Christian who happened to intrude into the mission field where Johnny and I were working at the Bus stop on the West side of the Sunnybank shopping complex. He was sensitive to the biased theology of the charismatic background Christian trying to show him that speaking in tongues is not a necessarily condition for some one to be saved. Yet this particular person even unknowingly exposed himself as some one who denied the efficacy of Jesus’ redemptive & atoning grace that more conditions must be met like speaking in tongues on top of what Eph 2:8-9 stated clearly that we are saved by grace through faith, it is not out of ourselves but it is the gift of God, and it is not out of our good deeds, so that no one will boast.

As for me I face a few spiritual attacks. First, while I was sharing the gospel to a young student, an English-speaking woman was watching besides us. Initially I thought she is a friend or guardian of this Local Aussie young boy. But actually, she is unrelated. She put up with my sharing with the young one for a moment but finally exploded with threatening word that I have no right to share gospel to this young boy. Of course, I did not check and possibly we all never did so to check the age of the gospel target. The boy himself was a very willing listener. He had very positive response to the gospel and even agreed with me that it is not about age or race that every one should need Jesus. He showed great receptiveness to accept Jesus as his saviour. Perhaps this agitated the dark side of this possible God hater lady to step up her intervention of our gospel conversation. At this time the bus came so we had anyway to end our conversation. So, I managed to take a photo of the back of the boy while he got on to the bus as a record of my battle log of our conversation. Yet in effect, that was not his bus so they stayed put at the bus stop. But that unhappy lady possibly spotted me taking photo of that young boy. She urged him to ask me to delete the photo. The young boy of course was pushed by that unrelated lady to check if I did take his photo. He actually was neutral to that and I of course made no argument but deleted the photo. Anyhow, I can only entrust this young boy to the hand of God to let the gospel seed still be planted and take positive effect despite of this spiritual Warfare attack.

Then God let me have a couples of good effective conversation with both a non-believer from Hongkong, then a Christian from Ghana which I will recap below. The second spiritual warfare attack came when I approached a Muslim from Africa. He cunningly played trick with me by asking me to give him $50 when I asked him the question if he considered himself a good person and has assurance to go to heaven because of his good deeds alone. Thanks God that the Holy Spirit signalled me right away that it was a trap. If I gave, he will laugh at me being stupid to give money to some one who may use it to buy drug. If I refused, he can blame you that I am not a good enough person to care for others need. So our gospel message is just lip service. I wasted no time to tell him if you do need help, I will not give you money but accompany you to buy whatever you need like a fast food meal or drink to satisfy your hunger. This Muslim guy of course could only laugh it off teasing himself to put up a test for me. He tried to down play the status and work of Jesus saying he was merely a good prophet after Mohamad who is the highest prophet for God. I then asked if he knew the reason Jesus had to come and what he had done for all human? He of course cannot deny the work of Jesus dying for all of us on the cross and went to hell defeating Satan, conquering the dark power of death, and taking the places of all sinners who are willing to repent and accept Jesus as their savour. I asked the Muslim guy did you object to this historical and biblical truth about Jesus and he said no. Then I asked him if Mohammad did likewise to provide an effective redemptive salvation with 100% atoning effect to us by dying for us. He of course say no. So I told him, I don’t care how and where you put Jesus as a prophet or not, if he is behind Mohammad but actually Jesus was born before Mohammad. I only need you agree and accept Jesus as the only Saviour for all sinners. The Holy Spirit had been working along side and had changed the attitude and manner of this initially arrogant man but softened his heart to at least having a rational and sensible dialogue with me. At the end, he seemed to have turned into a friend rather than a foe and took a selfie with me to signify the work of the Holy Spirit and the glory of God helping me to fence off wave after wave of Spiritual warfare attack from within and without.

Summarized are the main conversations I had today which was cut short because of all the spiritual warfare taking place.

1) A very aggressive English speaking woman interfering my gospel sharing with a young boy at the Bus stop as elaborated above.

2) Paul is from Hong Kong who has just graduated from Uni and is about to return to Hon Kong. 香港長談I asked him why he chose to go back while heap of people are trying to leave Hong Kong. It set off our very long conversation and thanks God the bus did not come too early to interrupt our conversation. I did not just share the gospel but my personal testimony of salvation showing that God has a plan for each and every one of us. He rationally agreed the gospel is rational and all sensible but he opined that, faith is not a matter of facts and rational thinking activity, it is a special conviction by the supreme being, or the Holy Spirit. He felt this moment has not yet arrived but he certainly will pay good attention to catch this special moment of faith. My testimony of spending 40 years to receive Christ is a good reference of the timing of God that it is always in His hand and I can only pray that it will come the sooner the better for Paul my fellow Hong Konger.

3) Victor is a Fair dinkum Christian from Ghana who quickly was diagnosed with 100% assurance of salvation. We had very good fellowship and discussion to ask why most Christians fail to have 100% assurance of salvation. It was possibly they don’t have a complete & full understanding of the three fold deliverance of God as per 2 Cor 1:10. It was a pity I did not have time to take a selfie with this very liked minded Christian.

4) Dim a Muslim from Africa or M.E., who tried to make fun of me and Christianity but turned out to become a friend submitting to admit Jesus is the only Saviour not Mohammad the greatest Prophet even placed ahead of Jesus. For details, please referred to sharing above.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday 15/9/2021 from 1300 – 1500

Today, only Johnny and Hung were available for the weekly street outreach in Sunnybank. The wind had subsided and the weather was fine. But it was a comparatively bad day, especially for me. We started at the normal favorite West side Bus Stop but faced many rejections if not complete ignorance. So Johnny decided to switched to the East side where we used to serve half a year ago. Johnny had more luck and I got a few chances. Overall speaking, it was a comparatively quiet day. Nevertheless, it was not without the plan and will of God to teach us to remain faithful and preserve through harder time.

Recap below were my divine encounters: -

1) Rejected or simply ignored by an Indian man. Not even willing to take a tract.

2) Had a comparatively long chat with an old lady who claimed having got our tract before. Surprisingly she agreed that we are not perfect. But the way to go to heaven is still by doing more good work to please the God heads from her Chinese ethnic religion 天道教point of view. She once rejected the idea of atoning grace that non one can take our place to receive eternal punishment. I agreed because no human being is perfect so no one can take the punishment for us. But Jesus is God incarnated as the perfect human being as such He has the capacity to die for us and take our place to receive the punishment of our sins. The bus came and I can only pray for God’s further work on this old lady.

3) Then I chatted with a Chinese guy whom Johnny chatted with him last time. He was pleased to let me refresh and reinforce the gospel message to him.

4) A local Aussie rejected to chat and declined to take a tract. But I was empowered by the Spirit to keep the conversation alive with the man listening. At the end, the Spirit softened his heart to take a tract from me.

5) A Judgmental religious extremist first argued with Johnny and after a while was picked up by me on the East side. He opined that there is no good persons in the world and we are all sinners. This is theologically correct though we still deemed ordinary person without committing and convictable crime a good person. He further pushed that no one can go to heaven unless you suffered with Christ which makes the salvation conditional on our work to suffer for Christ’s sake. His theology was all confused and his religious following is unclear.

6) A Chinese Christian girl who has 100% assurance of salvation faith.

7) Emily claimed she chatted with us year ago and got a tract. So, I did follow up chat to refresh her memory which she was in full agreement.

8 ) Hannah another Christian girl who have deep faith in God. But when asked about her assurance of salvation, she failed to show 100% and not able to explained why we are saved. But with a bit of explanation, she got the perfect understanding humbly at the end with great appreciation for our chat.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday September 8th , 2021 from 1300- 1500

Today Gary, Johnny and Hung teamed up to do street outreach at the bus stop of the Sunnybank Plaza side. Ratio of outreach today was mainly Chinese being over 50%, I got conversation particularly with more than 4 Cantonese speakers from either Quanzhou or Hong Kong. Basically, we all had been kept occupied most of the time but with some gap for me and Johnny to have a chat of each other ministry.

Recap below were my personals Battle Log: -

1) Jobbie* a local Aussie girl who was receptive to the gospel. she is not a Christian but she can name Jesus as the key figure for granting us the redemptive grace. Pray for God's further work on her heart.

2) A Korean Christian girl quickly declared her faith status. I wasted no time to test her assurance of salvation which surprisingly is only 50%. I only have very short time to turn around her mis-conception.

3) Die heart Cantonese speaking ABC appeared quite open for a chat, but when we switched back to chat in English , he became more expressive to discard the existence of God and insisted being a good person is good enough. I could only lead him to self examine if he considers himself good and perfect that God may have nothing to discipline and lodge punishment. I only pray that God will one day wake him up to realize his real life status.

4) Chester a Muslim lady who was very polite asking me to wait for her to finish her phone talk. And when I was about to move on, she took the initiative to get into conversation to me. Despite she is a Muslim follower, she is quite tolerance to other religious and is of the will that following the teaching of respective religious faith to be a good person would be good enough for heaven. It at least being Good as a non-religious person is better than religious one but doing bag thing. It was a pity that time was up for me to explain good is not good enough unless we are prefect, otherwise we all face the issue of Judgement after death. She sincerely wished we can meet and chat in another time.

5) A PNG big guy appeared very friendly but I only have less that half a minutes to brief him the core message of the gospel.

6) A Christian lady attending Toowong answered my diagnosis question completely correct. 道旺姊妹百分百得夠確據，I further asked her despite we have 100% assurance of salvation, as a born again and redeemed Christian, we are still not yet perfect, how could it be able to harmonize with the ultimate requirement of God to demand us to be a perfect being as God is effect. 未完美，神仍因基督. Then I introduced to her the concept of three fold salvation that it was the holistic plan of God to grant us the assurance of salvation before we are perfect simply on the basis of Jesus 100% effective atoning grace to die for us paying for our sin. With this first step of deliverance setting us free from the bondage of sin and reconnecting back with God thru Jesus, God can trigger the current deliverance to transform us back to perfect through the work of the Holy Spirit to guide and lead us to learn from our innocent mistakes. Then God will save us from mortal death by granting us a new body upon Jesus 2nd coming. The time for above explanation was too short and I pray that we can reconnect some time in future.

7) Then I connected with a young lady of Buddhism faith 佛教。When asked the question is being a good person alone is good enough for heaven, she immediately proudly said yes as she is exactly a very loving caring volunteer to help out the needy ones in the society.好事，未夠時間. It was a pity there was not enough time to elaborate further because of the arrival of the bus.

8 ) Then I connected with a Filipino woman who admitted she is a Catholic Christian but is now attending protestant Christian Church. I simply have no time to check her assurance of salvation.

9) The I bumped into the 4th Cantonese speaking people Mr. Chan 陳，from Hong Kong 香港，he is not a believer 非基，though attended Christian primary school 小基 having basic bible knowledge, he appeared receptive 接受 to the gospel message shared but need some time and space to ponder for his ultimate decision if he would accept Jesus as his Savior.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday September 1st, 2021 from 1300 – 1500

The First day of Spring signifies a new beginning for open air outreach. Queensland is still by far the safest State with zero cases for three consecutive days. We are looking forwards to further easing down of restriction but with or without mask, our street evangelism will still be carried out without and blockage. Today the Holy Spirit basically guided only Chinese speaking people for me while Gary and Johnny still had many cross-cultural outreaches. That is a proof that it is God’s own work as such will be carried out according to God’s agenda. Recap below were the divine encounters I got.

1) A couples from Shanghai China who have migrated to Australia for a long while. I jokingly said it was a divine appointment that we met finally after 20 odd years. Time did not allow me to share the full gospel to Mr Chao but I left him with tracts to read. 趙上海移民夫婦

2) Then I was recognized by a lady by the name of Leung who is member of the Kedron Brisbane Cantonese Christian Church. I chatted a while about their church pastor recruitment status and I attempted to do a diagnosis of the Assurance of Salvation but I did not have enough time for it. Basically, she has some mixed understandings that might need a bit of clarification. 梁美玉布粵不太清淅

3) Then I approached a Chinese lady who had rejected Johnny. But thanks God that she let me share even the full gospel before the bus come. 中女，曾拒絕，最後聽完整全福音

4) A woman from Quang chou, China recognized my accent as such volunteered to speak in Cantonese with me. She was open for a chat, but her mind was stereo typed that being a good person would be OK and she has never done any bad things. Can only pray to God to soften her heart. 廣州婦女，堅持做好人，沒做過壞事

5) Yvonne claimed she has had chatted with many of us and gave tribute for our faithfulness to share the gospel to non-believers. But she does not regards herself as Christian while accepting a triune God. It was a pity I did not have time to cross check her redemptive faith and assurance if salvation. 有神論，欣賞

6) Then I bumped into a group of Cantonese speaking women group of middle and elderly ages, It was hard to share the gospel with every one chatting with each other’s. I anyhow still managed to pass tracts to a couples of them and let God do the rest. 香港人婦女團體

7) Salina from One heart Church greeted Johnny again. I took over to ask about her church general status and tried to introduce Kairos to her. 合一教會

8 ) Then Allan Li cam to find us after his interview with the Terry White Pharmacy Shop. It was good he has the heart to come to render support to us.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on 25/8/2021 Wednesday from 1300 to 1500.

We were glad to have Gary joining us as the regular Sunnybank team. He made and brought a new green Sign being set up on the East side where he used to take position to serve. Johnny and Hung took our position on the West side at the Bus stop. Sunnybank is always a mission field for Chinese mostly from mainland and some from Taiwan, there are also other Asian people like Vietnamese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean. But today I met consecutively many Cantonese from Hong Kong and a rare people group from Nepal.

The two UQ students were from Hong Kong and both have graduated looking for job. They have similar Christian background but both have slipped back from their original faith in God because of their focus was shifted on to other secure target like more time for Uni study and subsequent needs to look for job to earn more money for coming to further their study in Australia. It was a pity I did not have enough time after deeper catching up about their background to clarify with them the core Christian faith and where they have missed the point about God making the Christian faith a lower priority of their lives pursuance target.

Another significant conversation was with a girl who took our tract and had a chat with one of us. I followed up on the impact of the tract on her which unfortunately was only very trivial. I virtually went over the gospel once again and asking her to respond if she thought she is not only a good person but a perfect one that have no need to worry about God’s judgment after death. She of course could not make this assertion. So I hope I have heightened her self-awareness of her vulnerable sinful status that could only be turned around to be saved by grace through faith in Christ.

Apart from same culture evangelism, I also had chance to share gospel with people from Nepal, Vietnam. Both appeared very opened and receptive to the gospel leading them a step closer to the ultimate salvation faith.

Summarized are the 8 divine encounters:

1) A Chinese Couples 一對華語夫婦with the wife a very determined rejecter forbidding her husband to chat and take our tract. Gary made a second approach but still failed.

2) Wai 偉 the first UQ student met from Hong Kong香港，迷失基督徒, 求主保守He once was a fervent Christian but now become a lukewarm one.

3) Vincent the 2nd UQ student I met from Hong Kong. He has also slipped back from his initial faith in Christ.

4) An elderly woman from Hong Kong香港老太，

5) A girl from China we chatted before.女孩，收過單張，再講一次

6) A lady from Nepal

7) Mr So 蘇 from Taiwan surrounded by Christians but still has not yet committed to receive Christ. Johnny took over to chat with him in Taiwanese.

8 ) Crystal an Australian Born Vietnamese and her friend. Only she engaged in the gospel chat positively with genuine interest and appeared very receptive.

Praise and thanks God that Johnny and Hung resumed Street Evangelism at Sunnybank today ever since the lock down a month ago. We stationed at the Inbound (North bound) Bus Station on the West side. Comparatively, we could approach more Chinese people than people of other nations. Both Johnny and Hung got many long chats that could have brought significant impact to the Gospel hearers. May God’s sovereign power be working effectively to accomplish His Will in the lives of those whom we approached today.

Praise and thanks God that Johnny and Hung resumed Street Evangelism at Sunnybank today ever since the lock down a month ago. We stationed at the Inbound (North bound) Bus Station on the West side. Comparatively, we could approach more Chinese people than people of other nations. Both Johnny and Hung got many long chats that could have brought significant impact to the Gospel hearers. May God’s sovereign power be working effectively to accomplish His Will in the lives of those whom we approached today.

Recap below are the nine Gospel Conversation of Hung.

1) A Serbia orthodox Christian lady was pleased to have a chat after she asked help from us. She was talkative and friendly. She doesn’t like doctrinal talk and does not care if she has assurance of salvation. Simple faith in God is enough for her. Obviously, there are room for better understanding of assurance of salvation. It was a pity the bus came too quick to cut our conversation short as such I missed the chance to know more about orthodox Christian faith status.

2) Then I caught up with an old lady from Hong Kong of Buddhism background. I turned out to be a listener first to her unhappy life in the past. I only had very little time to introduced the gospel of peace and joy to change her mind set.

3) Then Johnny referred a Senior Couple from Guangdong 廣東老夫婦 who obviously are Cantonese speaking. They have Christian relatives. 有親人信主，and they have not objection to the gospel message admitting everyone is sinner as such we all needs Jesus.對福音沒反對. They just need a bit more push from the Holy Spirit to lead them to Christ.

4) Another Chinese lady who was willing to listen to the gospel 中國婦女願聽，It was a pity the bus came too quick.

5) Then I met a Norwegian Christian lady who knows that no one can go to heaven because we have sin. I bet she should be very clear about assurance of salvation.

6) Bell is a Filipino Young Christian of Catholic background. He initially did not want to chat, but God softened his heart to let me share with him and did find that his concept and understanding of salvation is not clear reflecting on his lack of assurance of salvation. He thanks me after listening to my clarification.

7) Two Indian women both show no interest and declined my approach for a chat.

8 )  Approached an PNG looked man who claimed Johnny had approached him before.

9) Finally , I had a very long chat with Mr Zheng from Shandong.鄭山東人. He has lived in Australia for 20 years and lived around SIC. 來20年住南宣附近，through our chat, he appeared to be a religious person despite he has not yet officially received Christ. But he admitted that all human have offended God and we must lead a God fearing pious life to have real inner peace. Pray that he will make up his mind to join SIC in His time.

Praise and thanks God that Gary resumed street outreach today at Sunnybank by himself. I was not aware of his decision to go out there again. So I can only join him next week with or without mask. He reported "Back to an old fishing hole again today for outreach. Pray that those who heard the gospel way of salvation see and comprehend it. He (Jesus) lay aside his Glory - a gift for all."

Anyway, both the Chinese Churches in the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast have decided to resume outreach respectively tomorrow at Southport in the vicinity of Australia Fair 1300 to 1430 and at Mooloolaba near the Surf Club at 1030 - 1200 on Friday.

May the Spirit of God be with His faithful servants enclothing them with the glory and protection of God in the form of the full armour of God.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday June 23, 2021 from 1300 to 1500

Today our team was down back to the regular three , namely Johnny, Gary and Hung. Gary set up signs on both side of the road and he took position first on the Sunny Park East side of the bridge and Johnny & Hung worked together on the Sunnybank Plaza side at the bus stop with Gary joining us towards the ending hour of our ministry. It was a normal day with both rejections and some good chats with local Aussies, Korean, Taiwanese, and Vietnamese Australian born younger generations. We also met with Islamic people from East Africa, and Uygur of China and Hinduism people from India and Sri Lanka. So thanks and praise God to use us to be the light of the gentles of all nations. Recap below is my God led conversations.

1) Kalim is from an East African country he did want to disclose. He possibly is a Muslim but appeared very open to my sharing of the Gospel showing good receptiveness. He showed complete understanding of the Gospel and what Jesus did to die for us to take our place to receive the punishment of our sin. It would have been just a step away from receiving Jesus by grace through faith.

2) Helen a middle age lady from Shanghai and greeted me with warm smile claiming that she chatted with me a few month ago as such she fully recognized me. I then asked what was her result of reading the tract. She said she actually understood and in agreement with the gospel message that we all need Jesus to cleanse of our sins. Though she has not yet received Christ, she did attend church sporadically when she was in Sydney with her mum and brothers who are all church going Christians. After moving to Brisbane living near Garden City, she has been trying to look for a church. I recommended her to attend either the Sunnybank District Baptist Church or the South Side International Church both with a large Mandarin congregation with majority of members from China. She promised to make a move to join the church and let’s pray for her action of faith.

3) Kui kui is a student from Shanghai. He is an atheist rejecting to discuss anything about religion. But he still was willing to chat when I changed the approach to treat the Good Person question an a significant life issue, although he appeared very cool and emotionless while listening, God did soften his heart to follow the logic of the gospel message with no resentment. He finally took the tract when the bus came and pray for God’s continuous work on him.

4) Daniel a local Aussie who is Christian though not a church goer disguising as a non-Christian to hear what I was going to share with him. As soon as I knew he is a Christian, I posed the two diagnosis questions to check his assurance of salvation and he got it all right. So, he is a fair dinkum Christian but stopped going to church as a result of moving around for jobs. He admitted it is no good to not attend church and again I recommended both SDBC and SIC which he both had attended lately. I hope our long conversation would encourage and mobilize him to find a church for regular attendance.

5) Then I spoke to a Taiwan lady who appeared clam with not much emotional expression but politely listened to the gospel till the bus came. I could not be sure if she found the gospel appealing or not and I could leave it all to God.

6) Paul an Australian born Korean yet not a Christian. He has no religious view so again I share the Tract of “Are you a Good Person?” as an important life issue. He followed the logic and could not disagree with the assertion that we are all sinners that need Jesus as our saviour. Pray again for God’s follow up work.

7) Peter yet another Australian born Taiwanese. He actually had listened to our gospel sharing with other people around so he could give his responsive comment. Again, he could not argue the statement that we are all sinners needing Jesus as our Saviour. I asked him to read the tract and seek God’s revelation to guide his last step of faith to receive Christ as his personal Saviour.

( 8 ) Finally I approached a Uygur lady who answered me she is Chinese and was nominated to come to study as such she has a lot of constraint and restriction including not touching upon Christianity or other world religion. Despite of her outright rejection to hear the gospel, I still got a friendly short chat knowing above details about her but she still eventually chose to end the conversation and move away to avoid me. Pray that this unsuccessful approach still would bear God’s plan and will for that Islamic background young lady during her stay here in Australia.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday, June 16, 2021 from 1300-1500

What a glorious day of Street Evangelism augmented by God. Our prayer for more gospel warriors has been answered so prominently today that a team of three from the Rock Church nearby i.e. Pastor Shu He David Zhang, wife Zhen Zhen, and member Linda turned up to day. Meantime, Hai Yue the graduate of the 6th Online Kairos also came for the 2nd time on her rest day of the busy rooster duty schedule of an Intern Doctor of the Royal Brisbane Hospital. So together with Gary, Johnny and Hung, God has raised up a big team of 7 persons to serve and partner with God. We spread out to two spots, one being the foot of the pedestrian bridge outside the Pharmacy Warehouse and the other at the bus stop. Actually, Haiyue who arrived a bit late served without boundary but all over the place as God led her to get hold of people between the aforementioned two spots.

It was so obvious that the Spirit was with us all the time empowering all of us to get many divine appointments to share gospel to many people of different nationality. Most were first encounter but some were reunion with persons having a chat before for us to do follow up and giving away encouragement and blessing for them to get a step closer to receiving Christ.

1) Mr Zhou 周 from Mainland China 大陸 came to Australia to do primary school 小學 as such he is more or less a fully integrated Australian. He is now doing first year 大一 at QUT as such he appeared more open to gospel message than other Mainlanders. Thanks God I had enough time to share the full gospel before the bus came just falling short of a final wrap up to seek for his instant response. But God certainly will follow up on him through his apparent receptiveness to the gospel message.

2) Then I shared with two local Aussie young ladies. They look like the modern generation with stylist dress code. Yes , they also appeared very humble and a good listener. They also were able to respond and interact to show their understanding of the sinful human nature that we are all good but not perfect that still need the salvation of Jesus. So they left with a more positive indication to accept Jesus in God’s timing.

3) Then I had a long chat with a middle age lady from Hong Kong referred to me by Johnny. I share a bit of my background to identify with her as Hongkonger. But she has a lot of superstition biased mindset derived from Buddhism. 佛教，she refused to admit that she is a sinner but kept insisting she has done her best not to sin. And she certainly will be saved through cumulating her life account with good deeds. I challenged her with the analogy of speed fine to a good driver breaking no law for 10 year but would she be waived with the fine by a good past driving record. She could not argue but then turn irrational insisting that what she is practicing to gain credit by good deeds is the right way for her to conduct her life without regret or worry of eternal judgment by God. Despite of the unfavourable final response, I still have faith in God to soften her heart and turn around her bias mind one day.

4) Two elderly were not that positive to have a chat, but I still managed to share him the nutshell of the gospel before the bus came.

5) An old man seemingly from Shanghai 老上海 was very talkative but he held the stance that he will only believe in what he can see like Thomas in the NT time. 見才信. I used many analogies to tell him that in actual life situation, there are many instances that we just believe first before we see or understand the logic or functionality of some product/ device.

6) A Filipino old lady 菲老太 claimed to be a Catholic 天主教 Christian, but she has no knowledge of the Bible and no understanding of Jesus salvation passage. She just does not bother to understand why she is saved but just blindly adopted the label as Christian given to her by her family. Her heart and mind is as hard as many non-believers so I have to let go after doing my best to clarify the real meaning of being saved by grace through faith in Christ.，

7) Two English speaking Asian looking persons reluctantly took the tract and listened to the gospel for a short while before the bus arrived.

( 8 )Then at the end , I met Vienna a local Aussie and Colene a Vietnamese origin both are high school girl of the Sunnybank State High School. Actually, Vienna recognized me and smiled at me first. I took a while to recall and ascertain I chatted with her two weeks ago. She read the tract and have no reason to have objection to the gospel message. She anyway just uses the excuse that she is not a religious person as such there is not immediate urgency for her to make up her mind. But I shared with her that no human can have full control of our life like myself having got Bladder Cancer all at a sudden out of the blue. So, it is important to treat each day as out last day of our life and to make decision critical for securing our eternal life before we pass away. I guessed my sharing touched both of them and we parted by taking a group selfie so that I will recognize them next time we met if not in this world and hopefully will certainly be in heaven in eternity.

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday June 2nd, 2021 from 1300 to 1500.

By the grace of God, Johnny, Gary and Hung turned up for this regular Street Evangelism ministry at Sunnybank. Gary moved around between the two sides of Sunnybank while Johnny and Hung stayed mainly on the West side of the Sunnybank Plaza front. Again, it was a fruitful day with almost non-stop gospel conversations to people of all nations. God used us to reach out to people of both same culture Chinese from Taiwan, Mainland China and Hong Kong and cross-cultural people group from Indonesia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Philippine, Ireland, UEA etc. I was most impressed to see Gary stopped a group of 5 Chinese ladies possibly from mainland China to listen to his gospel sharing. I bet they would not stop for me a Chinese looking man but would react to feeling obliged to stop to listen to a Western person with an earnest expression. God is really the one who is in control of all the divine appointments assignment entrusted to us as His servant and messenger to convey good news to people of all nations.

Recap below were the 8 conversations given to me by God: -

1) Johnny first chatted with Madam Changå¼µ from Fuzhou 福州China. She is attending Logos Christian Church 恩道but with incomplete understanding of faith. Since she claimed she chatted with me before so Johnny just let me take over the chat. It was lucky that her bus took long time to come so I can kept sharing till the bus came. Pray that she will humble herself to really join the church’s Bible study to get all her query about the Christian faith clear.

2) Then I approached an English-speaking Indonesia lady and shared the gospel just before the bus arrived.

3) Eason a Vietnamese middle age man who claimed to be a Christian after I shared him the gospel for a while. But his response to my question at the beginning did not show he has assurance of salvation but it was a pity I had no time to correct him because the bus just arrived then.

4) I approached another Muslim Girl who was very responsive to my questions but again it was a pity the bus came two quick.

5) A Filipino Christian but has no knowledge of salvation, she claimed to be very busy and I volunteered to walk across the bridge with her but she seemed to be very scare of exposing her ignorance about Christianity despite claiming herself a long time Christian.

6) Vienna an Australian Born Filipino (ABF) still doing High school whom I met few weeks ago on April 28. Actually Vienna remembered exactly it was four weeks ago that we met. She said she had read the tract at home but still not ready to ponder for a commitment to accept Jesus. I went over the gospel again helping her to realize she is not perfect and does need Jesus to take her place to receive the punishment of her sins. She appeared really receptive and promised to have a good thought about it.

7) Margo an Irish did not mind to be disturbed by me while he was playing with his iPone. Overall speaking he was receptive to the message and willing to ponder to accept Christ.

(8 ) Elaine a joyous Christian from China but has no assurance of salvation thinking she only has 60% chance to Heaven. It was a pity I had no chance to help clarifying for her as the bus came. Pray for a reunion in the near future.
