Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday June 19th 2024 from 1300-1500

Hurrah, today we had a strong team of four with Edwin Qin and Shu I joining Johnny and Hung during their term break. The two youngsters were fruitful gospel workers. Edwin made use of every opportunity to catch up with people. Shu I was blessed to have led a youngster called Jerry to Christ with a proper Conversion prayer. Johnny and Hung on the other hands had a couples of long chats sharing not just the gospel but life testimony. Recap below is a brief account of Hung's Battle Log today at Sunnybank.

1) I was led to approach first a Mixed Chinese Vietnamese girl who was born in Australia. After sharing the full gospel , she revealed she is a Christian. But upon checking, she is in lack of assurance of salvation but was clarified.

2) Then I had a long chat with Mr Chan from Guangzhou but has migrated to Australia for a long while. Their bus experienced delay as such I had over half and hour to share first my testimony then the full gospel and finally about the Jehovah Rapha God in charge of my late Bladder Cancer healing and treatment process. They really shared my peace and joy in life irrespective of challenges and trial.

3) Then I caught up with Kaiser a lady from Melbourne. She is

non religious but pure as child to embrace the gospel and invitation to come to Christ. She may be people with minor mental issue but her heart was all open to the gospel.

4) Next a Korean but show no interest but still took a tract.

5) Julie yet another Vietnamese girl pf grade 9 born in Australia. She was all good and welcoming for gospel sharing.

Hurrah, we had Edwin Qin Hao rejoining Johnny and Hung today at Sunnybank. Hopefully, he could join while in his BST term break till early July. He is a diligent and efficient evangelist capable of outreaching to as many more as led by God cross-culturally. In the meantime, Johnny and Hung both got their divine appointment to have conversations with all non-believers. Hung was especially led to more Mainlanders or Hong Kongers except the last long chat with an urbanized Indigenous people.

1) I was led to approach first a lady from Shanghai who studies at QUT. She appeared a bit sceptical about gospel, but still politely listen to the sharing of the full gospel before her bus came.

2) Next I was led to talk to a Girl from Taiwan who studies at QUT. She claimed we have chatted before I anyway quickly revised the message before her bus arrived.

3) Then I met a Hong Konger who claimed he does not speak Mandarin. He anyway is a UQ student but lives in the CBD. He declared himself a Buddhist, but I affirm all religion are good for guiding people to be a good person yet none of them address and resolve the issue of sin. He politely kept listening but was apparently not impressed.

4) Then have another long chat with a lady from Chengdu who accompanies her boyfriend to study here. Perhaps because knowing I had involved in the disaster relief through counselling so I was accepted to have more open chat of all life issues. She actually behaved very thoughtful and open and found the gospel quite receptive.

5) Yet another Hong Konger and held an impartial view toward the issue of human nature and the impact of sin to the human race as such he delightfully took a tract at the end.

6) Finally, I was led to catch up with Matari, an Indigenous people lives in Brisbane and of Christian background though not a church going person. But he understood the gospel and salvation and showed appreciation for us three to tirelessly share the gospel to people of all Nations including him as the people of the First nations. He was more than happy to take a picture with me as a evidence we are now friend in Christ.

As normal, Johnny and Hung team up to do street outreach at the Sunnybank North bound bus stop. It was an ordinary day, most of the gospel sharing were in A HURRY and incomplete with a few exception especially the last one with a non-religious Korean. No matter how and in whatever circumstances, we believe God is in full control to use us to sow the gospel seed and in the meantime bring us up as a more mature and faithful servant of God. recap below is the Battle Log of Hung: -

1) First led to approach a young man from Guangzhou . Cn speak Cantonese, and friendly to chat, but once touch upon religious topic, all most instantly switch to avoidance mode.

But God miraculously moved him to come back to me for a chat on anything but religion. I respect his wish and accompany him for over half an hour to give him chance to chat and brush his English.

3) A late middle age man by the name of Liu ? from Taiwan he seemed to be open and willing to listen?, took? the tract but his heart was seemed not in there to take the message.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday May 15th 2024 from 1300-1500

Johnny and Hung teamed up again to serve at Sunnybank. Many gospel sharing conversations were incomplete as the bus came too quick. Apart from new gospel target. There were also many opportunities to catch up with those who we had shared before to follow up their status and progress. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung:

1) A lady from Shanghai , who claimed to be a Taoist follower. . She showed reluctance to chat once she realized it is about Jesus. She emphasized the Taoist teaching is all about living a full present life. . Her heart was stone hard and closed to gospel.

2) Jacky is an ABS Australia born Singaporean. He was sceptics about religion and opined that everyone can have a fair chance to heaven if they could achieve good enough changes.

3) Next was a woman from Tianjin who has just migrated to Australia. She appeared opened to the gospel perhaps because she is now a free person no longer bounded by the Communist atheist teaching.

4) Then I caught up with Madam Leong from Eastern Malaysia Sabah. She seemed to be a non-religious person but quite opened to chat about religion.

5) Next was a New Zealander girl who has migrated to Australia. She has graduated and was open to the gospel.

6) Wilson an Australian born Taiwanese who had chatted with Johnny before. I still invited him to share about his thought on the issue of eternal life through accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior. He seemed to have been pondering on this though not yet have a decision, but he seemed to be on the way to make this action faith any time soon in God's timing.

7) Aries. a Filipino lady that I have chatted twice before. But today I had all the time to have a more In-depth sharing on the substance of salvation and finally helped her to fully grasp the 100% assurance of salvation. God let her experience many of His presence to save her and her parents as such she was fully thankful and be ensured that God is determined to keep her saved and growth in relationship with God.

8 ) Ho a young lady form Guangzhou but no Cantonese speaking she is a student of Griffiths and showed openness to gospel

9) Finally I caught up with another young man from Guangzhou it was a pity I had not enough time to share him the full gospel and he was left with the wrong impression that being a good person is OK. . Pray for God's follow up work or a future 2nd chance to correct this wrong understanding.

I still had to do solo today as my regular gospel partner is still away visiting family. Rain has stopped to day, so the weather is fine for open air outreach, but the people flow was abnormally less than normal. Nevertheless, recap here below is my Battle Log.

1) Anthony has been a familiar face over the past few years. Every Wednesday he bounds to arrive around 1:15pm and look for us to ask about the time. Today, I purposely stopped him for a chat to show my care for him and how Jesus also cares to love and save him.

2) Next, I approached a Mainlander for a brief chat and handling him the tract when the bus quickly arrived

3) Then I was led to caught up with a Hongkonger who comes to study at UQ. He appeared to be a very introvert person who are uneasy in socializing especially with stranger. I nevertheless still manage to share him the full gospel and gave him the tract.

4) Next was a Mainlander woman, she pretended not speaking Chinese nor English. I had to learn to let go and move on after sharing a nutshell of the gospel.

5) Next, I was led to approach another Mainlander UQ student from Shandong. She appeared to be open and friendly to listen to my gospel message. After touching on the nutshell of the gospel, she politely asked to be excuse to take a phone call without come back.

6) Reilly, a Sunnybank State School year 12 post-modern young school girl with nose ring but appeared open and pure to listen and accept the full gospel message. She was thankful for my eagerness to show her the way to be saved by grace through face in Christ and happily took a selfie with me afterwards before she got on to the bus.

Today, I could only have a shorter round for street outreach in between the 2 hours gap of bringing my wife for her 2nd rehab at 1230 and then pick her up around 1415. Johnny was available today and did the full 2-hour shift after I left earlier at 1400. I was given the opportunity for two long chats.

The first was with a non-believer yet from a Christian family. He was not objecting his parents’ faith and was brought up in Christian School. But he never felt the urge to seek salvation from Jesus Christ. After my sharing of the full gospel, he admitted now he has found the need of a Savior to take over punishment of his own imperfection in his human character. He promised to pray and pursue this Christian faith.

Next is Don a Pentecostal background Christian. His faith in Christ is real and genuine. But on testing his assurance of salvation, he claimed he has 100 % but the reason is because he thought he has been abiding by all the teaching of God. So, this is still a bit unorthodox that he claims a bit of credit on his good deeds rather simply trusting 100% on Jesus redemptive grace.

During our conversation, Lee and Billy again passed by and Lee excitedly greeted me and interrupted my conversation with Don. Nevertheless, it helps Done knew more about my background both as a church planting pastor and also a cross-cultural evangelist devoting my time and effort to mobilize all Kairos graduates to embark on their journey of life Integration engaging in all sort of local cross-cultural evangelism to people of all nations

Today it was still just Johnny and Hung teamed up at Sunnybank for Street outreach. For Hung, it was an evenly mixed multicultural outreach day reaching out to Mature local Aussie, PNG young man, Young Local Aussie, HKGer ABC, Mainlander lady from Beijing China, Filipino young man and Liberia West African QUT student. Most of the chat were long and some were short with only one intentional rejection or neglection. Basically, it was a day of fruitful outreach with many happy and pleasant chat with selfie photo as a sign of appreciation for the chat and gospel message.

1) I was led to first approach Stephen a mature local Aussie that usually are indifferent to religious matter. But very surprisedly the Spirit open his heart to not just hearing the gospel, but getting additional knowledge showing the scientific ground for a clear view of God's 6 days creation theory. It helped to firm up his faith in Jesus' as his Savior and Lord of Life.

2) Then I was led to approach Locky from PNG. He quickly identified himself as Christian but is lack assurance of salvation. Now it had been clarified and he thanks for that with a selfie photo with me,

3) Will a local Aussie and a Woolworth worker. He is a non-believer, but the Spirit also softened his heart to listen to the full gospel just in time before the arrival of his bus.

4) Fan a HKG ABC youngster from a Christian family who is serious about his Christian faith but upon checking he was lack of 100% assurance of salvation. He thanked me for my clarification,

5) Next I caught up with Madam Fan?from Beijing who has migrated to Australia already for 20 odd years. . Therefore, she still appeared relatively open for chat on religious matter and found the gospel message sensible and logical.

6) Then I turned to the next Mainlander lady sitting on my right but she pretended she is not Chinese but felt embarrassed when I switched to speak in English with her which she could not communicate well. She bluntly short down conversation with me to end that embarrassed situation.

7) Jay a Filipino young man who quickly identified himself as Christian. With his Catholic background, he apparently has no 100% Assurance of salvation. He was happy with my clarification

8 ) Samuel Yet another Christian from Liberia who is also lack of 100% assurance of salvation. Again he felt very happy for my clarification.

Thanks God, Johnny had recovered from CoVid19 and could come for the Sunnybank gospel outreach though he was late because of GP appointment. I started first and johnny joined me 20 min or so later. More Chinese than local Aussie or people of other nations were contacted. Some made outright reject and most were open for the Gospel, as elected and prepared by God.

1) The beginning was not so smooth, being rejected by the first girl likely form mainland, then having approached the 2nd one with success yet, she was only friendly or timid enough to let me share even the full gospel, but at the end, she still pulled out without taking a tract even before the bus arrived.

2) Despite of that discouraging start, I was led to connect with Ding?from Anhui . He was more open and receptive to the gospel message, though our conversation was cut short by his arriving bus.

3) Then I was led to chat with an ABC of Taiwan origin , his mind set is quite assembling with the younger generation Aussie looking down on religious thought. But he admitted he could not deny the logic of the gospel that we, human race, is of depravity beyond self-redemption. That he shared the view that we all need a Savior. At this point his bus arrived and I left him with a tract and the room for reflection and pray for the follow up work of the Holy Spirit.

4) Then I connected with a local Aussie of mature age and breaking the ice on the topic about pharmacies policy that tend to cut price by cutting staff as such the queue time is getting longer. It certainly brought up the issue of human profit-oriented nature. Though I did not even have time to start the gospel message, we certainly had agreed on the basis that human nature have all been distorted by sin of selfishness and self-centeredness.

5) Then I caught up with a Tall Aussie guy who were open to let me share the full gospel. Yet he still opined that there is no need to be perfect as long as we tried our best to be a good person. I could only let go when his bus arrived as obviously, his heart is still hallow without the sense of a righteous God.

6) Last but not the lease, I was led to approach another ABC Salina, who again was polite and open to let me share her the full gospel but just made a note right away that she has heard all these when she was studying in a Christian school. I asked her if she has any negative comment on the logic and sensibility of the gospel then she failed to give a valid reason. So, it was simply a prototyping impression that religion is for those weak and disadvantage people. As long as she could remain to be a good enough person, student etc. Religion so far is a bit irrelevant. So, I could only pray for the follow up work of the Holy Spirit to let her experience the helplessness of human that God alone is the way out.

Praised be to God that sister Ada Gu was moved by the Spirit to join the Sunnybank Gospel outreach today with Johnny and Hung. Ada was readily an intentional gospel outreach warrior as led by the Spirit in friend circles as well as randomly at public place. We intermittently discussed and shared view of Biblical teaching on many aspects relating to gospel, sin, salvation, and onwards spiritual growth after conversion.

There was also team work orchestrated by the Spirit that guiding us to serve individual and groups of people as a team. Battle log of Hung is as recap below: -

1) A lady by the surname Shing ? from Tianjin, China was humble enough to listen to the full gospel and admitted the logic that every human being as long as we admitted ourself imperfect, then we all need salvation by a perfect person which can only be Jesus the Son of God who incarnated as a perfect human to come to save us by dying for us taking our place to receive the eternal death punishment. She willingly took a tract to revise on my message at the end.

2) Then I was led to chat with another mainland from North Easter China , possibly Liaoning . She is UQ student on Business Study. She was also open and friendly to listen to the gospel though not as receptive and assertive as Miss Shing.

3) Then I was to hook up with Jenny an Australian Born Hongkonger. She is a UQ student. Her parents father is from HKG and mother form Singapore. Her father is a Catholic Christian but she declared herself a protestant Christian. Yet upon checking on assurance of salvation, she only has 90% certainty she can go to heaven, so I took the trouble to clarify her holistic understanding of salvation. At the point, her friend turned up. But at this point in time, Ada also was led to approach us and took over the conversation with the new Chinese girl who chose to speak Mandarin

4) The Chinese mainlander girl is also a UQ student, but here English is not good enough for deep communication in English. God moved Ada in time to have a good chat with her.

5) Last but not the least, IK was led to have a long chat with Shred the Indian who study Engineering at QUT. His parents are of Hinduism faith but he is more of less non-religious. But he was quite drawn into the gospel message by the pure logic that as long as we are not perfect, good persons and bad criminal will both face judgement after death as such we all need a Savior to take over the punishment of our sins acting as the only mediator to help us reconcile with God.
