Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday Nov 19, 2024 from 1330-1430

Today, I did solo again at Toowong under incessant drifting rain. People flow was much less, but opportunity to get a chat was still fine as people could not avoid me to get away from the Bus stop covered area except by rejecting me. The quality of chats were good and fruitful.

1) Justin a local Brisbane resident who has no religious background but was friendly and felt not offensive for sharing of gospel.

2) Then I was led to approach a Mainlander by the name of Ji 計 from Hangzhou. 杭州. Good rapport was build by my travelling experience to Hangzhou before he was born.很開通, He appeared very open for gospel message and his mood was good because he is returning home tomorrow. 明天回國. He also is a rare mainlander who does not mind taking selfie with me as a gesture of appreciation for the chat.

3) Next was a middle age lady who is a nurse too tired to chat on serious matter.

4)Then I turned to a young girl with nose ring with only 1 min but still ok to have a chat sharing the nutshell of gospel.

5) There were a couple of rejections in between.

6) Finally had a long chat with Mighiko a Japanese lady from Tokyo who comes to work in child care. Her English seemed not very good but still OK to comprehend my message and have reasonable interaction.

Today, I went to Toowong to do street outreach on my own as my team mate is overseas. It was a scorching day with Temperature surging up to 33C, and the Bus stop was even trapped in higher temperature like a furnace because of the radiant heat radiated by the concrete surface of the bus stop. A normal person will get sunburn if exposed under such heat over 10 minutes. I managed to try if how long I could put up with the heat, and eventually stay there for 40 minutes. I could gained two long conversations with first a Filipino girl then a Kiwi young man both are migrants but already called Australian home. The Filipino lady is a Catholic Christian but lacking assurance of salvation, The Kiwi young man is non-religious but was open and humble to listen to the full gospel showing good receptiveness. There were many more short conversations that were cut short by the quick arrival of bus , and many rejections mostly because of the extreme heat that caused impatience for people to chat under the scorching sun.
