Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday July 9th 2025 from 1030-1200

It was a good day for street outreach especially with Edwin joining me again reaching almost every one who come to the Bus Stop. For me, it was a special day for reaching out to seversl elderly mainlander males and or with their couples. Surprisingly they were all open and receptive to the Gospel and enjoyed the free chatting with me and ending up with selfie with me. God is amazing in His salvation plan for individuals.

I also had another chat with a Christian lady who is an ABC from Adelaide to come for a Christian conferences. Surprisingly , she does nit have 100% assurance of salvation which was clarified with appreciation shown by a selfie photo.

1) Approached an elderly lady from Nanjing sharing gospel half way then her husband and friends came to join her thus chatting switched to be with the husband.

2) Caught up with Cecil who is an ABC of Malaysian Chinese background but is from Adelaide to Brisbane for conference. Lack of 100 Assurance of salvation but clarified easily

3) First with a Mainlander male of my same age but was waiting for friends to bring a lady for dating first appointment. Good rapport build and that man has history of going to church but not fully understand gospel, later his friends came also with Christianity and bible knowledge though still a non believer. Through conversation, clarified a lot of their misconception on salvation and knowledge about Mormon and JW. Appeared a big step closer to accept Jesus.

4) Follow up chat with Mr. Chang from Hebei , Boding waiting for wife who gone shopping. Edwin had approached him with a quick gospel sharing. But I was moved to continue with deeper chat which really appeared making good sense to him and later her wife, so again they were happy to take selfie with me.

Today was an extremely windy day but it did not deter the eagerness of Edwin to rejoin me after a long break due to heavy Bible college study load. He can rejoin me from now on , not only during term break but his last terms left with only one subject so, he should be more free and available to come. We are of different type of evangelist, Edwin is good as quick approach with the nutshell of the gospel. I prefer to dig deeper and have a longer conversation, situations permitted. So, we both had a fruitful day in term of number of conversation for Edwin and long chats for Hung which is recap as below: -

1) First with a nonbeliever from Liaoning 遼寧人, Mainland China. He was cautious but still polite enough to let me share the full gospel to him and took as tract at the end.

2) Then Theo an ABC with parents of a Christian family from mainland China. Theo only has 60 % of assurance of salvation as such he was shy to admit he is a fair dinkum Christian. But now after clarification he was joyful to ascertain he has 100% assurance now.

3) Next is also a Christian from South Africa who has migrated to Australia for 15 years. He also lack 100% assurance of salvation but now claim himself a fair dinkum Christian.

4) Then I was led to catch up with and arrogant Australian born Filipino. He took a rebellious attitude to attack the gospel and doctrine but eventually he cannot rebuke the rationale and logic of Gospel but still refused to accept a tract from me..

5) last but not the least was Eddy a local Aussie young brook with a Chinese girl friend. He showed initial skepticism but eventually fully impressed and convinced by the gospel.

Today I served alone again at Sunny bank. It was totally out of my expectation that I had a longest conversation ever lasting over one and a half hour with a Christian pastor. By appearance , you would never guest he is a believer not to mentioned an itinerant pastor doing both local preaching and mission work in Africa and Filipina. He was making for himself a self made cigarette and most of his teeth were lost or rotten with a suspicious sign of drug addiction. Yet through conversation, he quickly identify himself a fair dinkum pastor and self-employed missionary. He is well verse in several Filipino dialect. He claimed he did his theological study at the Bible college in the Gold Coast. He lamented most churches teach only salvation by faith but not enough emphasis by grace, which itself is an unclear concept. Through to and forth clarification, he possibly means the need to live a sanctify and holy life after becoming a Christian otherwise it is only an empty title we got as a Christian.

There are a lot of Christian and doctrinal jargon in his mind as such it is not easy to have a hear to heart communication with him. I can only take it as the benefit of the doubt that it is the way of his expression of faith and the gospel in some local old fashion.

I only reached out to another Mainlander girl who showed skepticism toward Gospel but just listen on for politeness sake

I was a bit late being held up on a Kairos drilling arrangement with Ps Richard Jiang as such I possibly missed meeting Ann who used to come the same time but work across the road and come to join me when she sees me. Anyway, I was moved to keep using the accident happened last week whereby the rear left tail of the bus hit hard on a lamp post by the road side when departing from the bus stop. If any one stand near, even not in front will get hurt if not get killed. This happened when I talked to Matthew the Hong Konger young man that it is better early than late to make his personal decision to receive Christ when he readily acknowledges the need for him as well as all good persons that are not perfect to accept Jesus as Savior. Our life is not in control by ourselves but God. Right after I said these word, the bus hit hard at the lamp post with a loud big banging noise that rightly demonstrates how life could be vulnerable if any one stood near the lamp post will instantly lose his/her life.

Therefore, I was moved to keep inviting people to have a look of the crash mark of the bus left on the lamp post. It includes a couple migrated from Jiangsu Nanjing, a Senior elderly from Hong Kong, Parminder an Indian guy I caught up last week, and finally a UQ electrical Engineer Year 2 lady who is a local Aussie. God let me have long enough time to chat and share the full gospel message that seemingly have touched her heart like Matthew last week. She even missed her bus by taking time to have a selfie with me. So at the end, I was moved to accompany her till her next bus came and shared a lot more and deeper about the three folds deliverance and encouraged her to really consider seriously to make her timely decision to accept Jesus as Savior.

In contrast to a humble and willing heart of above mentioned people. God also led me to face rejection by a Mainlander young man. He deceitfully claim he got flu and asked me to keep a distance from him. He really did not know what he had missed. May God's grace bee enough to give him another chance to listen to the gospel.

Today again Hung and Ann turned up to do gospel outreach individually. Ann also does gospel outreach at other time and at other places during the week. But she still chooses to come around the same time to Sunnybank every Wednesday. She treated me as her supply station to replenish gospel tracts when her stock has run out as I have all the stock of gospel tracts stored in my car behind the bus stop.

Outreach at Sunnybank today had mixed result. On the one hand, it continues to be the barren land for gospel outreach to mainlander. My initial approaches to mainlanders almost faced different forms of rejection without exception. Two mainlanders of older and younger ages both chose to avoid me switching to another side of the bench without a word. Another two younger mainlanders men chose to ignore me as if I was as transparent as the air. Then another middle age woman did not reject me but use excuse to look at the bus schedule to avoid me. When I thought she is OK after looking up the bus schedule, then she used any other senseless excuse to move away from me even though she never said no to reject me. Finally, I was able to get hold of a senior mainlander men to have conversation, but he use irrelevant response to cut and interrupted my gospel sharing so at the end, only a fragmented gospel message was shared to him before the bus came.

But by the grace of God, I was miraculously connected again with Matthew from a Hongkonger family whose Cantonese is extremely good. Last week he was the exceptional one that I could share the full gospel with very positive response despite he and his family ar all non-religious. Today he recognized me and reminder me we had chatted before. I naturally followed up checking if he understands and shares the logic of the gospel message. He show great assertiveness to ponder to receive Christ. I advised him it is better early than late even though he is young and seems to have a lot of time to ponder and make up his mind. Right at this moment, a bus that was leaving the bus stop but turned his wheel too drastically quick as such the rear left of the bus hit heavily on the lamp post beside the bus stop. One of the rear light lamp even was struck coming off. If any one was standing in front of the lamp post, that persons must have been struck dead. You can see the picture of me kneeling in front of the lamp post with the yellow paint scratch mark left by the impact of the bus with the lamp post. Matthew immediately exclaim also that if he was standing there waiting for bus, he certainly will be killed, so my advice turn out to be a proven prophetic word calling him to make his earliest decision to receive Christ. He agreed to let me know his good news of receiving Christ next time if we meet again.
God also let me caught up with first a girl from Guangzhou doing design in QUT, and an Indian guy from the better off northern India doing IT study. Both of them showed openness and receptiveness towards gospel.

So Gospel Outreach is always a kind of spiritual warfare that, facing difficulty and rejection is the norm, but keep preaching the gospel irrespective of the response to those most die heart people is the calling that God has given to all lay Christian also for the goodness sake of our personal growth in the true knowledge of Christ.

I am glad that Ann finally noticed our change of time to 1030 and we met up there after she did here outreach at bus stop across the street. It was still a hard barren land for gospel lately, especially for people from Mainland China. Apart from a Hongkonger young man who was willing to chat and listen to gospel in Cantonese, all other approaches to mainlander received all sorts of negative responses either blunt rejection, avoidance, reluctancy to chat and half hearted conversation. Thanks God that he gave me all positive responses from mainlanders yesterday at Toowong as an advanced encouragement to keep sharing the gospel to His elected people even without visible fruitful result.

Hongkonger born

Today was basically a Mainlander outreach day with all the gospel targets being from Shanghai, Nanjing x 2, Beijing, and a couple of unknown cities. If it is of my own choice, I will try to avoid or giving lowest priority in approaching mainlander. But I was led to approach them also exclusively without fail even though the result was not that successful. Some showed reluctancy to chat casually but once they sensed it is about Christianity most will turn a cold face. Having said that, I must reflect and ponder to know that it is the heart of God who care also for lost souls in Mainland China despite it is still a hard and baron land especially for the younger generation. The population of Christian is actually very big about 2 Billions. But for those who come to our door steps, most choose an indifferent attitude to keep a distance from the gospel messenger. Pray for God's mission power to turn around this territorial spirt of mainlanders against God.

Returning to Sunnybank for regular weekly street outreach after two weeks of Interstate mission to Coober Pedy via Adelaide, the situation was the opposite of yesterday outreach in Toowong. Despite I already waited for a longer arriving schedule of the next bus, my time for sharing of Gospel were still in main insufficient and incomplete. . And none of my gospel targets today showed the same eagerness to the gospel message and all left in a hurry when the bus arrived leaving no chance for any decent selfie. It was a clear lesson for me that God is the only one in control of everything including their responses and readiness timing to receive Christ. We just do our part to be His messenger speaking aloud the prophetic voice to persuade people to repent and return to God through Jesus Christ redemptive and atoning grace.

1) Led first to approach a Young man studying in UQ from Chongxin重慶. Rapport was built because of my Sichuan earthquake disaster relief role in Counselling. He was impressed I took all the troubles to go back to China and serve there intermittently for 7 years after the earthquake by conducting counselling class mainly at those government controlled 3 self churches. Time was not enough for full gospel but just a nutshell shared with my testimony.

2) Next was a Hongkonger mum already migrated to Australia with kids doing high school. She actually live in the Northside and is attending the Kedron Brisbane Cantonese Church even though she is still a non believer. She cannot tell the church name but can tell Rev Zivah Lai's name. Again, only have a few minutes with her for the nutshell of the gospel.

3) Next is a lady from Thailand that I chatted many times before. 泰女 Just a friendly greeting and polite reminder of the gospel message and let her to be moved and touched by the Spirit through such repeated divine encounters.

4) Then I turned to a guy next to me who is from South Korea.南韓 He is also a non-believers. Shared a bit more almost full gospel but still finally interrupted by the arriving bus.

5) Then I was led to reunion with an ABC of Muslim faith possibly from her Australian dad and her mum is from Taiwan. Basically continuing on our conversation last time to reiterate the facts that every one who are good but not perfect all needs Jesus. She did not show great rejection of Jesus's name as those elderly Muslim people. So her mind basically is still open and impartial with good inclination to admit the need of salvation by Christ and Christ alone.

6) Last but not the least having the longest conversation with a man around 60 from same home town of Chairman Mao in Hunan. He is just visiting relative but live a mundane life. I tried to address his loneliness issue chatting a lot about Hunan and things happening in China and finally came to he gospel. His heart was softened by friendship so full gospel was shared before his bus come. His willingness to take a selfie with me was finally trashed by his need to rush to catch the bus. Otherwise, it was a good chat and fruit bearing divine encounter especially for a mainlander.

Today was the 2nd day I have to serve solo at Sunnybank while my regular Gospel Outreach team mate is away. More over, I will also have to take a break next week as I also will be away for First Nations Mission Trip to Coober Pedy in SA together with the Chinese South Australia Christian Church ministered and led by Rev Robert Li.

Today outreach was good with long enough chats for full gospel as recap below the four most stand out ones: -

1) First was with a lady by the name Ng吳 migrated to Australia for 10 years. She is non-religious, but because of our Hongkonger tie, she was open and patient enough to let me share her the full gospel.

2) Next was an Eyes Optometrist 眼科student in her 4th year from Korea> She was also non-religious but appeared open and receptive to the gospel.

3) Then it was Jack migrated from Brazil at young age to Australia. He received Christ in 1982 in Perth , WA and once was a fervent Christian like what I am doing. But because of bad witnesses of many Church members, he flatted up and now claimed taking a long break from any church activities. It served as a reminder for me or any Christians that Spiritual attack can subtly ruin your faith and kidnap you from God, especially if your faith foundation is not good.

4) Daisy is ABC with Mum from Mainland China and Dad also an ABC. She is non-religious and is now a 2nd year Science Uni student. She was exceptionally open and receptive with a soft heart for the gospel and thanks for the good news that she may ponder to pursue in His time.
