Operation 513 Battle Log for Tooowng on 24/8/2021 Tuesday from 1330 to 1500.

It was a very windy day, but the three regular team mates Johnny, Winnie and Hung turned up as usual for our Tuesday outreach. All the three of us got chances of sharing gospel but of course with many more rejections. But we could see the grace of God was sufficient for us to ignore the negative feeling but focus on the seed sowing divine encounter. For me, I only have three good effective encounters but the one with Anthony was a rare long conversation with the clear work of God amongst us as elaborated below.

First, Ashinny an Indian blood Malaysian UQ girl. She of course is of Hindu background but appeared very receptive to the gospel treating it as a neutral option of faith. Actually she was approached before and read the tract at home. So I changed the tactics to ask if there is any area that she doesn't understand or disagrees with. She literally could not be more agreeable with the points we raised in the tract as well as the gospel message that we are all sinners that need Jesus to set us free from the bondage of our sin. After our chat she looked set a step closer to the conviction of the Christen faith.

Second, I approached Patrick who is an ABC whose parents was from Quanzhou 廣州,China. he is very open to the gospel unlike the mainland China students. It was a pity our conversation cut short by the arriving bus. He promised to read the tract and I prayed for another encounter in the near future.

Then God let me approach Anthony, an UQ PHD candidate specializing in Mathematics. He had initial hesitant to chat with me as he uses to consider religious chat is only sentimental making not much sense or have any logical thinking in it. But God opened up his heart and was attracted by what I shared staying for over 45 minutes, if not even around one hour at the costs of skipping several buses to remain into conversation with me. What interested him was not just the power of the gospel but my personal testimony showing how God transformed me from a self-centred and timid introvert person to a bold street evangelist through the many up and down of my life facing numerous trial and test and eventually leading me to accept the grace of Jesus Christ in 1990 in Manchester, UK where I did my Master of Information System at UMIST. Perhaps he saw the very similar path that I have gone through but eventually saved by grace through faith in Christ. As a logical minded scholar, it is hard to ask him to make a hasty decision to accept Christ, but God readily softened his heart that he indicated to me he will seriously going to a catholic church to continue his search for the redemptive grace of Jesus. He was so graceful for our chat and was happy to take a selfie with me. After we parted, I could see him reading the tract immediately before the bus arrived. Praise Ye to the Lord for his amazing grace upon Anthony.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Toowong on August 17th, 2021 from 1330 to 1500.

Praise and thanks God the full Toowong team composing of Johnny, Winnie and Hung were all available again together after the lifting of Lock down. We all had many opportunities of chatting though most of them were short and was just enough for a nutshell of the gospel and handing out a tract. Johnny had an exceptionally long chat with Ivan a local Aussie. He initially responded jokingly not taking it serious, but the work of the Holy Spirit gradually drove him to become a humble and keen learner with good interaction with Johnny. Pray that he will be led to make his step of faith in God’s best timing.

Battle Log of Hung:

1) A girl called Kayla from Norway, happy to chat but conversation cut short by the bus.

2) Ali and his girl friend were pleasant for a chat and took tract despite our conversation was cut short by the arriving bus.

4) Rejected by a another postmodern look Aussie girl

5) Alisa an Aussie UQ student was receptive to the gospel

6) Grace another Aussie girl who was opened for chat but being cut short by the arriving bus

7) A Korean and a Chinese Christian happy to chat but they disclosed their Christian faith too late as such no time to check their assurance of salvation possibly they are member s of Power To Change.

8 ) Abby a Christian girl from Congo yet only has 80% of Assurance of salvation. Clarified in time before the bus came.

9) Vietnamese man who was friendly for a chat

10) Akosua is an India who attended Catholic Christian school. So he is likely an Australian Born Indian. He is opened to chat and receptive gospel.

11) Gordon appeared friendly and shook hand to say good bye.

12) A Christian gypsy who appreciated our street ministry. He was busy in making call so can’t have time to check for his assurance of salivation which he vaguely indicated it could possibly be 100%

13) An elderly man with grey hair rejected Johnny but I was able to catch up with him identifying with his multilingual ability. Later He indicated he attends the Sherwood Methodist Church.

Praise and Thanks God to give Winnie the apostolic passion in her heart that she volunteered to come on Wednesday to do the Toowong ministry that uses to be done on Tuesday. She developed sudden tummy pain and starting to vomit as such she had to cancel coming up to do street evangelism with me yesterday. Today, she was feeling OK so she asked to come to team up with me to do the Toowong outreach we missed out yesterday. It was a normal day with successful chat much more that a few rejections. Recap below are the battle log of Hung and Winnie.

A) Battle Log of Hung

1) Justin a local Aussie who claimed himself an atheist. I expressed my view to respect his stand and not to argue if there is God or not but to discuss the “Good Person Test” as a common concept. Yet I skilfully make Justin to accept that everything on this earth must have a maker. i.e., Building has a builder though unknown to us, a watch has a maker and likewise the Universe so grandeur and amazing must have a beginning as well as a creator. Justin could not find a logic to reject my inference and all along my sharing, he appeared very friendly and receptive to the message. He was happy to take a tract to read at home and ponder on the message I shared with him.

2) Oscar lives up North that needs 3hours drive. He was delightful for a chat, yet I could only manage to finish the nutshell of the gospel before the bus came quickly.

3) Daichi is a Japanese UQ student from Kyoto. He was surprised to get a Japanese tract from me with a Japanese greeting He also appeared very receptive to the gospel message and asked at the end what he needed to respond. I simply ask him to repent and receive Jesus as his Saviour.

4) Jerrod, an UQ student of Civil Engineering from Malaysian. He is of Buddhist background but was friendly to have a chat. Actually, he reminded me I had chatted with him before walking all the way back to his apartment nearby. I was able to persuade him that Buddhism is good like all other religion to guide people to be a good person but could not resolve the issue of sin. And Buddhism by the way is not a real region as there is no God head but just teaching to achieve self-perfection. He was moved to give it a go to make the step of faith to receive Jesus as his saviour.

5) Jackson is a local Aussie who has just graduated but still living in St Lucia looking for job. He cheerfully accepted the tract as the bus came too quick for any meaningful chat.

6) Emily is a first year UQ student from Cairn. She was very delightful to chat with me. It was a pity I could only manage to share the nutshell of the Gospel when the bus arrived.

7) The I caught up with a student from Hangzhou, Jei Jiang, Mainland China. I could associate with him as I visited his home city even before he was born in 1973. It was again a pity that there was no much time to continue with a chat as his bus came very quickly.

8 ) My last conversation was with two Malaysians one of whom is named Li. They were open for a chat about the gospel and both took the tract to read when the conversation again had to be cut short by the quick arriving bus.

😎 Battle Log of Winnie :

感謝 神今天的带领,讓我平安 可以在 Toowong 傳講福音。

第一位遇到澳洲少女,Lily,她是基督徒,但不明白救恩,我解释給她,她願意接受我给她的福音單張,將好消息傳出去。

第二位 Wendy, 中國少女,基督徒,不明白救恩,我解释给她。

第三位 Bruce, 澳洲青年。曾经信主,後來有事發生,得不到 神的幫助,所以放弃信主。我與他倾談很久直到巴士到來。我説我們一生都是 神安排好的,你看祂沒有幫助你們,你知道背后有 神的美意嗎?你知道將來會發生甚麽事嗎?我講一見証给他。數年前911 事件,有一位信徒在出發前禱告祈求平安上到飛機,怎知中途車軚爆了,抱怨 神不聽他的禱告。換軚後,趕不到上飛機。後來他知道這飛機失事衝撞了大厦,全機覆沒。于是這信徒向 神認罪悔改,是 神救了他。當我想問他 神是否一定會拯救世人時,巴士到達,他趕着上巴士,聽不到他的回答。

第四位 Alex, 澳洲青年,聽完福音,願意去教會,尋求更多真理。我给他咭片 Power to Change.

第五位 Thomas, 中國青年,願意信靠主。我给他咭片 Power to Change.

第六位 Melisa, 澳洲少女,願信靠主。可惜巴士到達,不能够再倾談。

第七位 Danial, Korean 青年基督徒。解释救恩後,願意接受我给他的單張,傳福音给其他人。

第八位 中國少女,初時不願意聽福音,後來我再回去對她説,神愛世上每一個人,當你遇到困難,祈求,祂馬上幫助你。看她沒有拒绝,便傳簡短福音给她,講完。巴士到達。

第九位 Alan, 𤞏太青年人。他不信耶穌,他説以前曾經發生這麽多事,很多𤞏太人弃牲。我説是人的罪, 神已经弃牲獨生子耶穌來到世上,拯救世上的人,死後三天復活。我們只要認罪悔改,罪得赦免。聖靈會指示信靠祂的人,當行的路。三一神讓世上充滿愛,罪惡減少。如果世人全心,全意信靠 神,顺服 神。便世界和平,沒有戰爭。巴士到達,他趕着上巴士,不能再講。

願 神讓今天聽到福音的人,更加明白 神的心意,全然信靠,順服。感謝讚美主!

Operation 513 Battle Log for Toowong on Tuesday July 20th, 2021 from 1330 to 1500

Praise and thanks God that our Street outreach ministry have been resumed today after three weeks of suspension because of first the locked down then the extension of the mask restriction rule to be ended this Friday 0600 hour. Three of us with Hung from Brisbane and Winnie & Hee Hee from the Gold Coast could not wait but still found the urge to restart earlier defying the mask restriction. We had past experience of doing outreach with mask on and the negative impact of outreach was close to none. Today all the three of us experienced special grace from God to have got many divine appointments with people either willingly or some with initial resistance. Case A3 & A5 with Hung and B2 with Hee Hee are typically the kind of initial rejection but turned around by God to end up as a fruit bearing conversation. Winnie and Hee Hee have shared their special encounter separately as quoted below as Part B and Part C.

A) As for Hung , recap below are the five conversations short or long yet none without the Plan and Will of God to let it happened: -

1) An old Aussie lady appeared very welcoming to our greeting. It was a pity that the bus simply arrived too quick that left us no room to get into the sharing of the gospel. It anyway was not a too bad start.

2) Jenny a local Aussie girl who appeared indifferent to my Gospel sharing. But I still managed to finish sharing the full gospel to her before the bus arrived.

3) Maggie an UQ student from northern Qld who showed initial reluctance to chat. But I identified with her by means of my outback experiences in NT , WA and North West Qld then she was all open for a chat. She obviously has been resisting the gospel for a long time but finished listening the nutshell of gospel this time before the bus arrived. She hurried away for the bus but surely this time with the tract and the seed of gospel left in her heart.

4) Allan an UQ student from Mainland China, who got off from the bus heading for the Toowong village but was stopped by me. He politely indicated that he got the tract and had a chat with our people before. I followed up on how he found the tract and the gospel message he learned from last conversation. He responded that the message was sound and sensible but he is not yet ready to make any major commitment to accept Jesus yet. I any how more or less revised the whole message stressing that it is his own right to ponder any time longer before a conviction comes form the Holy Spirit. But I suggested to him to approach and join Power to Change that they are a group of Christian students who are willing to answer more question if any from Allan. He left with a more positive attitude towards the need to respond to the Gospel any time sooner than later.

5) Allusa is an Indian PhD at UQ with specialty on Neuro Science. She was very proud of her academic achievement as well as her Family up bringing in Hinduism religious cultural background. She did not intend to stop for a long chat, but God made her had a sudden spraining of her ankle as such she had to stop to rest for a while. I made use of this golden opportunity to share her the full gospel. She found no loop hole in the logic of God’s redemptive plan through the sacrificial death of Jesus to take our place for shouldering the punishment of our sins due on us. She simply claimed she could not betray her own religion. I reassure her that her own religion as well as all other world religions are not bad but all serving the purpose of guiding people to be a good person. But as explained by the tract, being a good person alone is not good enough to make us perfect. We all have to face judgment after we die for our sin. Only Jesus incarnated as a perfect human being 2000 odd years ago who died for us was capable of paying for our sin with His sacrificial death. My mission is just to let her be aware of this redemption package offered by God. I am in no position to pressurize her to make an hasty immediate decision. Just take her time to ponder on the Gospel message and leave it to the work of the Holy Spirit to bring final conviction of faith in His Time.

B ) Brief records of Lin Hee Li’s today's divine encounters:

1) Tried to give an overseas student from China the evangelical pamphlet. He said he had received the pamphlet before. Then I chatted with him and introduced Jesus to him: Jesus died for our sins. But raised so that people believe can be at peace with God. He was willing to listen.

2) Two gay people refused to chat when i asked whether they knew Jesus. But then the one first rejected showed willingness to chat when I sat next to them for a short while. I told him in Jesus' time, he loved to meet people who were socially being rejected. Jesus accepted all people and loves us all. He then answered me his grandpa (aged 105) who died recently used to attend Church. He thought Grandpa lived his life in full and he loved him. We continued to chat further regarding his surgery recently. Bus arrived and he left with an appreciation that I would pray for him re his recent surgery.

3) Wo Tai, Vietnamese, different religion, Buddhism. He's got the pamphlet before. Explained to him Jesus died for our sins so that we can be at peace with God... I could see his heart soften. And said he understand what I said. But bus came. I said God loves blessing him. He nodded.

4) Talked to two overseas students (girls, one from China, the other from Taiwan). They said they haven't heard about Jesus. I had the chance to tell them Jesus's salvation. Encouraged them to attend University Fellowship by Power To Change.

C) Battle Log of Winnie

感謝 神今天的带领,雖然人流不是太多, 而且很多人都不願意聽福音及接受單張。神都给我遇到六人講解福音。六人中有四位是基督徒。其中有兩位不明白救恩。

第一位 Nolan, 澳洲青年,父親是牧師,自小在基督信仰家庭長大,他完全明白基督信仰及救恩。我問他願意上街傳福音嗎?將好消息傳给别人。他説沒有上街,但有傳福音给親戚朋友。

第二位 Amy, 從 Melbourne 來的中國女子,她説是基督徒,當我問及她的得救信仰,她不能回答。我問她願意將好消息傳给朋友嗎?她説沒有朋友。我從新將福音傳给她,希望她明白。

第三位 Alan, 澳洲青年。他不接受單張。在巴士未到之前,我盡快將福音傳给他。

第四位 Anna, 澳洲女士,基督徒。她明白救恩,願意接受我给她的福音單張 傳给别人。

第五位 Gary, 基督徒,來自PNG. 相片中。不明白救恩。他以為做善事,反教會和侍奉教會便可得救。我解释给他。

第六位 Jason, 中國來的 UQ 學生。聽了福音後,願意找教會,尋求更多真理。

願 神祝福 帶領今天所有聽到福音人仕,找到適合教會,永遠跟隨主。而其他的基督徒,願意遵行 神的大使命,將福音傳出去。阿們!感謝讚美主!

Operation 513 Battle Log for Toowong on Tuesday June 22, 2021 from 1330 to 1500.

Today we had a bad start without any successful approach within 15 to 20 minutes in the beginning period. Johnny quickly resorted to extra prayer assembling us to pray to God asking Him to turn around the situation. It was really a lesson that God wanted us to learn that as a servant of God in street evangelism, nothing of our skill and experience will count if God does not open door for us to work with Him. We have to always humble ourselves to follow His guidance and be patience to let Him lead and open up opportunities according to His timing and plan.

After the extra prayer time, God did turn around the situation to let us picking up chat with more people even though stern rejection and hostile response against our approaches could still be experienced. Because of the initial slow people turn up rate and high rejection rate, I intentionally let Johnny and Winnie to grasp all gradually increasing chances first. As a result, I got fewer chats than normal conditions. My first successful chat was somewhat 30 to 40 minutes after we started. So, my Battle Log and Winnie’s one are recap as below: -

1) Shade an Indian girl whom I made a first successful approach. She appeared very friendly and open. I could take my time to share here the full Gospel and she seemed to be receptive to the gospel message admitting she is a sinner though regarded also as a good person. She did not show unwillingness to accept Christ before her bus arrived. So, I can only assume she will positively ponder to accept Jesus under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

2) Anna and Aussie girl and another Indian origin Singaporean girl both showed no rejection to let me chat with them about the Gospel. Like the previous Indian girl, both appeared very open mind with true interest to listen attentively and understand what I share. It was a pity their bus came a bit too early before I could seek out their responses. But I believe God will take care of the rest.

3) Debbie yet another Indian girl but claimed to profess Hinduism. She told me she had received the tract and had a chat with one of us. I asked what was her impression about the tract if it is logical, rational and sensible. She said yes but seemed to think that her Hinduism belief was no big different from Christianity. When I asked her how salvation will be ministered to sinners like us then sh showed that actually her mindset was still blocked by Hinduism that as long as you follow the teaching to be a good person, you will be blessed and saved. It was again a big pity I could not have time to explain the differences between Christianity and Hinduism before the bus arrived. Let just pray for next time when we met.

4) A Vietnamese man showed no interest first to Winnie. As usual I made a second approach. He chatted with me a short while but still politely decline to have any more conversation on religion which I had to let go.

5) Then God vindicated my persistence to approach reluctance people on first approach by Winnie. It was two Chinese Student from Shanghai 上海. They had been chatting amongst themselves as such they did not want Winnie to interrupt them making a move to go to the far end of the bus stop to continue on with their chat. The Holy spirit moved me to make a 2nd approach and it turned out to be a success this time. I had time to share the full gospel and got positive response from both of them when the bus arrived. So again, I have to let God to do the follow up and harvesting job.

6) A Taiwanese Christian girl first approached by Winnie sharing her full gospel before knowing she is a Christian. Then she invited Johnny to join the conversation. He invited her to attend the Sherwood Methodist Church when he knew she has not attended any Chinese church here. I nevertheless took the chance to check about her assurance of salvation which was well passed.

今天雖然很多人不接受單張及聽福音,但 神都给我遇到十一人,講述福音的機會。

第一位 Jean, 中國來的少女,當我講完福音,巴士到逹。

第二及第三位 印度來的青少年,他們接受單張。當我講到罪的問题,他們不願意聽,行去别處。

第四位,中國少女,接受單張,當我問她信仰問題時,她沒有回應,所以我便繼續傳講福音,見証。直至巴士到來。

第五位,Robin, 澳洲女士,基督徒。完全明白救恩。

第六位,澳洲少女,當我傳福音给她,她開始咀咒 神 耶穌基督,説我是罪人,随處講耶穌。我回答她,我們的確是罪人,我傳福音目的是想救人的靈魂。神祝福妳,願妳平安。我便離開。

第七位 Jason, 中國青年,聽到這位澳洲女士大罵耶穌。當我傳福音给他時,他説是基督徒,我想测试他是否明白救恩,但巴士來到。

第八位 Anne, 中國來的 UQ 學生。初時不願意聽福音,後來我問及她,如果死後你知道往那裏去嗎?在緊急的時候,沒有人幫妳,妳會怎樣?她沒有回答。跟着 我傳講福音及見証给她。問她願意悔改信靠耶穌基督為救世主嗎?她説會認真想想。

第九及第十位 中國來的 UQ 學生,當我傳講福音给他們,他們不願意聽,説巴士來到,我以為他們真的上了巴士。當關牧師問及我這兩位青年人站在巴士站旁邊,我才醒覺他們還在,可能他們看錯巴士。便請關牧師向他們傳講福音吧!

第十一位 Nora 台湾來的少女。基督徒,不明白救恩,我解释救恩及講我的見証。我們很投合。因為她是台湾來的,便叫 Johnny 來,一起倾談。Johnny 介绍她到教會。關牧師也來到,講述長细的救恩及基督徒的生命歷程。

感謝主的带领,願今天聽到福音人仕,悔改回轉歸向 神。阿們!感謝讚美主!

Operation 513 battle Log of Toowong on Tuesday , June 15, 2021 from 1330 - 1500

There was a big storm in the morning but the weather turned very fine in the afternoon best for Street Outreach. Today we encountered a moment of stagnation that none pf us can get a chat. So Johnny as leader called us to have a second round prayer to break the spiritual deadlock which proved working. Team work was evidenced that I provide back up for Winnie when she faced some intentional argumentative target. IN short, God let us learn once again to have patience and to persevere despite of momentary persistent rejections to keep trusting Him.

Recap below are the Battle Log of Hung and Winnie: -

1) Mimica from PNG was a fair dinkum Christian having 100% assurance of Salvation and perfect understanding of faith in Christ despite she has a father of Catholic background and a mother of the Uniting Church camp. We shared and rendered mutual edification by fellowship in Christ.

2) Dean an agnostic but disguised himself as a God fearer. Winnie approached him first but was trapped in apologetic debates diverting Winnie to discuss if Mohamad is a lesser Saint than Jesus. I intervened and took over the conversation drawing Dean back to the prime issue of the sin of all human beings though we are considered as good persons. Dean cannot denied that he is imperfect as such he also have to face the issue of Judgement by God after death for our sin. Then I introduced Jesus to show Dean the great difference of Christian faith against all other human made religion including Islamic faith that he tried to quote to degrade Christianity. Before the bus came, Dean acknowledged that only Jesus provided a solution for shouldering our sin by His planned sacrificial death. Mohamad was just a human being who was not perfect ass such could not played any role of our saviour like Jesus did. Dean conceded his argumentative attitude by accepting my tract at the end. Pray for God's continuous work harvesting his lost soul.

3) Chris is a middle age man with no religion background. But God has made him humble and behaved politely towards my invitation for a chat. He listened to the gospel with patience and interacted rationally showing great receptive at the end to the gospel message. He also changed mind to take a tract to read at home. Pray also for God's continuous work on him.

4) Finally an Indian girl getting off from the bus heading for connecting train. She was in a hurry, I anyway walked with her for a short while to convey the nutshell of the Gospel and gave her a tract.

Battle Log of Winnie Choi: -

數日前收到醫院短信,通知檢驗眼睛须要改期,所以馬上参加 Toowong 傳福音的工作。感謝 神的帶领,今天雖然很多人不接受單張及聽福音,神賜给我遇上九人傳福音的機會。有些人願意聽,但是巴士卻來到,令他們聽不到福音。

第一位男青年人,講述福音後,他問及穆罕默德的信仰,我解释他們基督教信仰是信三一神,後來關牧師來到,長细解释给他。

第二位,Lance 澳洲少女,聽完福音及我的見証後,願意信靠主,反教會尋求更多真理。

第三及第四位,Joe & May, 中國來 UQ 學生,聽完福音及我的見証後,願意信靠主,找教會。

第五位 Jean, 澳洲少女,基督徒,解释救恩。

第六位 Bella 穆斯林,推着Baby 車,我講述基督教信仰是三一神,耶穌基督為救贖我們脱離罪 牺牲死在十字架上。只要我們信靠祂,罪得赦免。她接受我所講的及見証,會認真想想。(謝謝關牧師的教導,怎样應對穆斯林)。

第七位澳洲少女,她説上次聽過福音,我想問她進行怎様,可惜巴士到達。

第八位 Buda, 印尼男士,福音講了一半,巴士到達。

第九位 澳洲女士,願意接受單張,及聽福音,當我開口傳揚福音時,巴士來到。

感謝主,雖然撒但時常想辦法阻止我們傳福音,但靠着 神的大能,我們一様可以做到的。感謝讚美主!

Operation 513 Battle Log for Toowong on Tuesday June 8th, 2021 from 1330 - 1500

Today was a gloomy day but the three of us Johnny, Winnie and Hung by grace have a fruitful day. Johnny specially got a couple of long chat ending with a near conversion humble heart. Winnie as usual worked relentlessly catching 13 divine appointment opportunities as recap below despite she was once being swore at by a local Aussie. It was the grace of God and on the street experience that help Winnie to shake off this unfriendly insult to keep focusing on her work. As for me, God led many Christians from non-Christian country like Columbia, Syria. All of them do not have assurance of salvation that need clarification. We gave glory to God for using us to do this fruitful outreach.

1) Derick Pakistanis that I met for the 2nd time. He claimed him an atheist and non - religious who has no knowledge of afterlife. Before I had time to correct his mind, the bus came so will leave it to next time.

2) Irene a Kiwi from NZ and think it is possible for her to go to heaven but by good deeds. I could manage to give her the answer that no body unless we are perfect can go to heaven. Again the bus came so it has to wait till next time.

3) An Aussie guy just took the tract and managed to touch base on the nutshell of the gospel.

4) A Thailand young man also thought being a good person would earn him the ticket to Heaven but the Buddhist background. Again I said nobody can go until our sin is properly dealt with by accepting Jesus as our saviour. Could not have more time to dwell on the issue as the bus came.

5) Daphanie a protestant Christian from Columbia that used to be a Catholic country. Her family is catholic but she claimed herself a protestant. But she still carries the background of Catholic failing to have full assurance of salvation. Thanks God that I have enough time to clarify it before letting her go.

6) Philipus from Greek originally had no interest, but the Spirit softened his heart and we could carry on with gospel chat which however did not last long but still it was a good effort to turn his cold heart around to listen to the gospel.

7) A girl from Jei Jiang Hangzhou浙江杭州 who work at a Chinese Restaurant of Xian Cuisine.餐廳西安,Initially she reject to chat but because I can associate with his work and life background so the Spirit again softened her heart to take a tract at the end.不要聊天後,拿單張

😎 Indian father whom I met a year ago with here daughter who now has graduated and started looking for job. So we kept a friendly chat to build a relationship for next chat.

9) An Aussie big girl getting off from the bus who had no time to chat but still got my tract with a few words of the core contents of the Gospel.

10) Donpia a Syria Christian who has no assurance. He was humble and glad for my clarification.

Recap below is the Battle Log of Winnie:

感謝主的带领,讓我遇到十三人傳福音的機會。聖靈引導,五人願意信靠祂。

第一位 Christine, 澳洲女士,基督徒,不明白救恩,我解释给她。

Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday June 1st, 2021 from 1330 to 1500

Praise and thanks God calling and raising up a new street Gospel team member Hai Yue to join us the three regular team mates, Johnny, Winnie and Hung. Hai Yue is a current 5th Online Kairos student. But God has touched and moved her enough to give it a go joining us today during her rest day of her scheduled job rooster duty as an Intern doctor at the Royal Brisbane Hospital.

I gave her very limited 15 minutes briefing / demonstration how to share the nutshell of the gospel before we prayed and set off with the other two team mates. In flesh, she still felt lacking of confidence even though her English is good enough to conduct casual chat. All I can advice her is to let go of all your fear and burden but trusted in God alone to guide you to make the first approach. Ask God to guide you to open your mouth for the first word then the Spirit will be with you all the way to guide you to organize your speech.

Miracle did have happened and she could quickly found the strength and spiritual courage from God to make her first approach after watching as an observer just for one person.

So I basically gave all the chance to both Hai Yue and Winnie with Johnny and Hung taking care of the rest when more people had come to the bus stop. In between of chat/ arrival & departure of bus, Johnny and I held very short debriefing with Hai Yue answering her queries how to address a certain issue if it happens again. As a result, Johnny and I got less time for our own outreach. It of course was a worthwhile exercise to help Hai Yue to get integrated into the street evangelism which aftercall is the work of God taking charge of all situations.

Hai Yue was able to catch the urge of the Spirit to make approach at the right time. One example was with my first conversation with a Chinese couple from Tasmania migrating to Qld for a better living climate. The wife was more receptive and a willing gospel listener but the husband seemed to be not paying attention or even unconsciously interrupting our conversation. At the very moment, Hai Yue suddenly turned up to join our conversation. My reaction in flesh was: go away, find someone else, I äm managing to share with this couples. But the Spirit immediately corrected me to see that the husband was attracted to chat with Hai Yue without further interrupting my conversation with Lily the wife who appeared very attentive and interested in what I shared. So this is that sort of things that keep enabling us to see how God makes all thing work together for he goodness sake of those who loved God and being called to serve Him.

I pray that this divine encounter experience for Hai Yue’s debut Street Evangelism ministry will help her to apply it on to the other parts of her life including the profession as an Intern doctor. She can try to let go of all her fear and worry but enjoy the promise of God to be presence with us whenever we do everything for glorifying Him.

Because of irregular rooster duty job scheduling. Hai Yue may not be able to join us every week on Tuesday at Toowong or Wednesday at Sunnybank. But I am quite confidence that this first divine experience will attract her to come again whenever she gets a rest day on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Recap below are the Battle Log of both Hung and Winnie: -

(1) A Chinese Couples from Shangdong, Yin Tai山東煙台are new interstate migrant from Tasmania. I approached both of them for a chat. The wife Lily was more receptive and willing to engage in two-way communication. The husband was however not paying real attention but kept doing something else such as making phone call trying to interrupt the conversation. Yet God suddenly took action to move Hai Yue to join our conversation. As mentioned, my initial reaction in flesh was trying to tell Hai Yue to leave us alone, but the strong sense of the Holy Spirit told me otherwise to let Hai Yue keep talking to the husband so I could concentrate sharing the full gospel to the wife Lily. Thing did develop along this line and Lily appeared very touched and willing to seek God by going to church. They live actually In St Lucia so CCCB is the natural choice I recommended to her and hopefully her husband will follow suit. Praise for the almighty work of God allowing us to team up with Him to do His Will.

(2) Vistella is a girl whose name is of Canadian origin and means "Life of star". She was very welcoming for my approach and gladly accepted the tract. When I knew I only have 1 minute to share, I quickly utter to her the very brief nutshell of the gospel emphasizing that we are all imperfect though good person that have sinned against God and each other’s. We all need a saviour who himself is prefect person as such He can take our place to receive the punishment of sin due on us. Pray that this short but divine encounter still will be pursuit by god for bearing spiritual fruit in His time.

(3) Then I bugged in to chat with a Couple from Quanzhou廣州. The wife was listening to Hai Yue but the husband was keeping a distance not paying attention. So I was playing a reverse supportive role to catch the attention of the indifferent husband or boyfriend to get a taste of the word of God’s good news.

(4) An UQ student from Sudan , Africa with an indigenous name of Allor politely told me he had got a tract entitled “What is Next” from one of us which should be Johnny as I so far seldom hand out this new tract. I asked him anyway how did he find the tract and if he understood the message. He said he is a religious person believing in God but has not time to fulfil the religious ceremonial obligation, meaning he is not a church goer and seldom read Bible. With is information, it warranted me to share the gospel all over to him again. He was very polite and willing to chat but our further conversation was interrupted by a phone call then the bus came. We bid farewell and both looking forwards for another encounter in the near future to continue with our unfinished story about God and His salvation.

感謝 神的带领,讓我今天遇到八人傳福音的機會。

第一位 澳洲人,他説是基督徒,但經過我查問他,他不能回答,不願傳福音给其他人,也不願意聽我講,我只好講簡單的福音给他。

第二位是印度來澳洲的穆斯林,我講述福音,基督信仰的三一神。

第三位 是中國來的女學生,因為她不太明白英語,我便用不流利的普通话及英语傳福音给她。

第四位是澳洲少女,講了一半福音,巴士來到。

第五位是中國男士,不願意聽,我只好講重要的福音给他,便離開。

第六位是印度來的穆斯林,我也是講基督信仰,三一神。

第七位 Mary 印尼來的穆斯林。她很專心聽我講耶穌基督的福音,三一神的大能,及我的見証。

第八位是澳洲少女,Emmy, 她很留心聽我講的福音及見証,願意信靠主,找教會,尋求更多真理。

感謝主。 願主帶領今天聽到福音的人士,回轉歸向 神。阿們!感謝讚美主!

Operation 513 battle Log for Toowong on Tuesday May 25, 2021 from 1330 to 1500

Today was yet another nice Autumn with a warm and lazy sun showering us with soft radiant ray. The three of us Johnny, Winnie and Hung teamed up as normal to serve at the UQ bound Bus stop. Basically, it was a very smooth ministry period with minor reject rate but lot of successful conversation. There was another meaningful reunion with Ryan whom Johnny met few times before with the latest one about half year ago. Ryan has now graduated and got a job as garden car takers at Mt Coo-tha Botanic garden. But what excited us is to know through his conversation that he and many other younger members have been mobilized by the church to do regular outreach like us. The Hope Church he is attending send member out to do street evangelism at King George Square on Monday in the eventing. And Ryan occasionally join Operation 513 at KGS on Friday night after their Friday afternoon service. So God actually has raised up His own Christian army from different mission and ministry groups to be His witnesses in he city. We are privileged to be part of this end time gospel movement. Just pray that God will keep raising up more people to join and grow any of the existing Gospel Outreach team. Recap below are the battle log of Hung and Winnie.

1) An UQ female student from Mainland China was happy to have a chat. I barely had time to cover the nutshell of the Gospel when the bus came. She was reluctant to leave her name which I more so had to thank God to move her to listen willingly which if with other Chinese around it would be a rejection. Just pray for God's continue work in her heart.

2) The I approached Eric who is also from China and is now in year 3. But it was our first encounter here so it is definitely a divine encounter. He responded very positively to the Gospel I shared and showed great interest in my brief testimony of turning to Christ after working half of my life for the only boss CH Tung of OOCL. He was about to ask me a question yet the bus arrival had cut short our further exchange.

3) I followed up on a Christian UQ girl whom Winnie had had a chat to introduce her to Power to Change.

4) The next was a girl from Chongqing. China. Her initial reluctance to chat was withdrawn as I was able to identify with her as a 2008 Sichuan earthquake disaster relief worker, traveling a lot in Sichuan Chengdu and Quang Yuan which basically is half of her home province. I wasted no time to share the gospel once she was willing to chat. At the end, she still did not want to leave her name which again was a sign of grace that she could have completely rejected me for a chat.

5) Sonny was another female UQ student from Mainland China. She was cooperative and responsive to the gospel. Pray for the work of the Spirit to move her to make the last step of faith to receive Christ.

6) Then I caught up with an Aussie girl who listened the gospel before. I still managed to receive the message of the tract with her until her bus arrived.

7) Ryan was the active member of the Hope church who is from Malaysia. He recognized us so he stopped to catch up with us and share about his journey in learning and making himself a disciple of Christ to share gospel with non-believers. It was a moment of grace for mutual edification in His love and as co-workers in Christ.

Battle Log of Winnie :

感謝 神今天的带领,讓我遇到十一人傳福音的機會。

第一位是印度男士,Chris, 他聽完福音,需要時間想想。

第二位是中國 UQ 學生,他只是聽我講全福音,講見証,直到巴士到來。沒有回應。

第八位澳洲男士,講了一半福音,巴士來到。

第九位 澳洲男士,我講了重要福音,他接受單張,趕着要離開往别處。

願 主带领今天聽到福音人士,找到適合教會,永遠跟随主,阿們!感謝讚美主!

Operation 513 Battle Log for Toowong on Tuesday May 18, 2021 from 1330 – 1500

Today, Gary joined Johnny and Hung while Winnie was absent for her follow up consultation with an Eyes Specialist. After opening prayer, Gary chose to set up his signs with link pointing to Needgod.net (a gospel website) at the foot of the pedestrian bridge.

Johnny and Hung teamed up to serve at the Bus Stop as usual. Basically, God gave ample of divine appointments to all of us without hiccup up liked last week. Johnny even got chance to lead an UQ student from Czechoslovak to Christ after listening to the Gospel. Gary towards the end joined us at the Bus Stop and kept getting gospel conversation.

We were graceful for all the gospel sharing opportunities and pray that God will follow up on them until they all bear fruit. Recap below are my Gospel conversations.

1) Jade is from India having good interaction with me showing wisdom in thought. He did not take a tract but he understood the gospel and had some lovely thought on man admitting we are all sinners that without a savour, we all go to hell.

He is just not ready to accept a non-Indian God head as His saviour. It is a pity the bus came too early to let me dig deeper to show that Jesus is an universal Saviour or a Messiah for people of all nations including India.

2) Jessie whom we all have chatted with her before but I did not give up on following up her status of readiness. It was a pity again the bus came a bit early before any useful conversation can be exchanged.

3) A Redshirt girl appeared very willing to listen to my gospel sharing but I only made it to half when the bus came. I could only leave it to God for a future follow up.

4) A Vietnamese mum appeared not fully open enough to chat because her heart and mind was all preoccupied for looking after her baby. I complemented her will and determination to study while doing a full-time mum job. Can only pray the tract she got will serve some purpose before a future possible 2nd chance.

5) Then I caught up with a young lady in Muslim costume who possibly is from Malaysia or Indonesia. She claimed she had already chatted with all of us previously. I Checked on here understanding of the gospel through the tract, stressing the judgement of sin makes Christianity stood out from all other earthly religion. She has no objection to this as such I established once again with her that all humankind no matter good or bad are all imperfect as such sinners that need redemption by Jesus. She seemed to have got this crucial point.

6) Another Indian guy whom we met before was about to chat with me but our brief conversation was interrupted by a long phone call. So there will be next time.

7) Then I approached an Aussie girl and an Indian girl who chose to hide themselves under the shade of the bus stop. But they did not show reluctance to have a chat with me or any expression of being disturbed. The Indian girl even jokingly asked if the tract was free. I quickly got into gospel message but still only had it half done when the bus came.

 8) Then I followed up on Luke who declined to chat with Johnny claiming he is readily a Christian. I checked his assurance of salvation which was not 100 percent. I clarified his misconception and he thanked me by taking a selfie with me.

9) An English-speaking Asian looking lady let me chat with her for a short while but excused herself for reason that she was in a rush. I did my part and leave the rest to God.

10) My last conversation was with a cute girl from France. She was exhausted from carrying heavy shopping bag so she could not pay full attention but kept taking off her overcoat because of heavy sweating. After settling down for a while, she started to respond well with the gospel message. I basically managed to finish the nutshell of the gospel before seeing her off on to the bus.
