Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday Feb 17th, 2026 from 1030-1200.

To day was a quiet day. I again did the outreach at Toowong bus stop by myself. Quiet meant not just fewer presence of people. Their time arriving were mostly calculated to i or 2 mins before their bus arrival leaving virtually too small amount of time for a full gospel chat. I still managed to do many fragmented and incomplete gospel sharing handing out to the target the tract and leave them in God's good hand.

Nevertheless, God still awarded me a consolation prize of todays hard yard. Towards the end, I approached an Aussie man in his 50's. He appeared polite and friendly. We chatted in causal manner initially to connect, but he sensed correctly that I was about to chat with him some religious stuff. He gently asked for my understand that he wanted to have a private moment of peace before his bus arrive. I of course had to leave him alone. But after a while I noticed that the Spirit actually moved him to read the tract I left with him. He even finished reading the tract with a few confirming nods. When I wondered if I should go over to check his feedback on the tract. Another older age gentleman came and they started chatting till the bus arrive. To my surprise, when he passed by me before getting onto the bus, he overtly turned his head to me and seriously said a few words of thanks to me for the tract and my intention to share with him the gospel.

So, do not discount anything happening during outreach. Even I was alone but we are never lonely. God is with us all the time and has His plan executed on each and every one we are moved to approach, even for those rejecting or not listening to the complete message or even did not listen directly from me like this gentleman today.

God communicated His message for me through the LCD Advertising big screen that I saw on my way back to the carpark.

First our ministry is "built on Belief"

and "Every Moment Matters"

Today Jon Wong of the English pastor of the Sherwood Methodist Church joined me and Ann to do street outreach at Sunnybank. Jon was a missionary to Morocco under OM for 2 years. He is mindful to engage in outreach hoping to find a place he can have max outreach chance in the limited hours. He was a bit disappointed to face rejection in his first attempt and fairing not too good after he wandered off to other place . As for me , I sticked to doing outreach at the bus stop and got reasonable chance of chat with non believers first timer and follow up chats as well as doing assurance of salvation test with Christians of both Protestant or Catholic background. Pray that Jon will allow more time to experience the mode of on mission with God under the guidance of the Spirit.

It’s February already.  Amazing.

 

So, what happened in January?  Something that has never happened before occurred on Friday.  I was asked: “Are you a pasta?” Haha.  I responded with, “No, I’m not a pasta, and I’m not a pastor either” - I couldn’t help myself.  But I often get comments like this, because, when you succinctly and systematically lay out the gospel in a clear way, people will see the logic of it and be impressed.  It’s not me they should be impressed by, but God and his amazing plan.  I mean that.  This work is not for special people, but for all believers to get involved with.  With a little bit of training, and a lot of guts to push through the fears, we truly can reach people with the gospel, which is the power of God for salvation.  This involves living our lives in such a way that we are ‘salty’ and ‘bright’ by the way we live (we all get that), but, we also must communicate the gospel in words - even if it’s just handing out a tract.  God delights to show his strength through weak things: us, our prayer, and a little pamphlet with the gospel explained.  Be encouraged to reach out, as you can, and where you are.

 

So, I’ve just scanned my camera roll for the month.  I didn’t take many photos!  Only 2 actually, but one of them has jogged my memory of a good street chat I had this month, so I’ll share about that.  Also, I found 2 encouraging screenshots of messages I received via the needGod.net TikTok Messenger.  You see, a lot of my time is spent sharing the gospel online, these days.  And a lot of that time is spent in TikTok Messenger.  There seems to be an unlimited amount of people messaging in, and I attempt to share the gospel with all of them.  I can’t really keep up, but I rest in the sovereignty of God.  Anyway, check out the 2 screen shots and the 2 pictures.

 

Let me talk about the picture of the yellow Suzuki Swift - yeah, I’d love a yellow Suzuki Swift Sport!  But that’s not the reason I took the picture, I took the pic to remind me of the chat I had with those 4 young lads.  It was special, because they were very engaged.

 

School holidays means kids with nothing to do, so they are willing to stick around and talk.  I had my flipchart up, and it was a pleasure to have Corin with me.  If my memory serves me right: 1 of the kids was being a bit silly, another was being resistant, but the last 2 were very open.  The resistant one served to raise good questions for all of them to consume.  I can’t remember all the details of the conversation now, but I’m pretty sure we worked through all the pictures on the flipchart, and then the 2 open guys just kept popping me with question after question so good!  Sowing seeds, may God be glorified in any future harvest of mercy that may occur.

 

Thank you for keeping us in prayer.

Today I served solo initially and joined by Ann a bit later. I went for for some personal matter for a short moment and Ann who came late spotted another lady doing the same for a short while and left.

It anyway was a normal day with good chat opportunity. The stand out one was with Kevin a high school boy with parents from Iraq what what surprised me was that they are a Christian family of 4 generation dated back in Iraq. He has good level of biblical knowledge but still failed to have accurate understanding of God's holistic salvation. As a result, he was tested without assurance of salvation. God allowed long time for me to drill him on the full scope of salvation. I also learned that their family are now worshiping at a Lebanon Christian church near Garden City which is a culturally near neighbor church for them. Does it implies that there is no Iraq background Christian church here. Anyway, God is the one who elect and called His chosen people to reconnect with Him in way and method beyond our imagination. We just need to faithfully proclaim the gospel to whoever people of all nations that God led us to meet in our day in day out open air street outreach.

Today I went solo but of course with the presence of God led by the Spirit. It was all smooth sailing with all people entering into a very interactive and fruit bearing chat especially with the two no believers that they all Amen to the conclusion that as a good but not perfect persons, we all need Jesus to shoulder the punishment of our sin and made us a person with perfectly no more sin records in Gid eyes. The Christian lady also thanks for my clarification to help her have 100% assurance of salvation. The power of the true gospel is great, All glory be to God.

As a side issue, I encounter special operations on the street by the police and other council workers. I a sense our gospel outreach is also kind of special Kingdom operation that is good for the society.

To day was the last day Johnny can join the Sunnybank Team before he is to be away for a while. And we had all the four regular and committed gospel warriors teaming up here in His strength.

Edwin , as usual, was good at swiping through the floor to cover almost every one without a moment of hesitation and delay.

We also had many good divine appointments with all sorts to gospel targets. In my case, it includes those we have chatted many times and initially did not want to chat but the Spirit moved him to allow me to follow up and render my words of encouragement to keep pursuing as led by the Spirit. There was people whom I never have a chat before but actually has been watching us quietly at this bus stop and showing appreciation and good wish for the work we have been doing. I also caught up with a lady who is born in Australia but is of atheist background yet ending up admitting that gospel message is all logical, rational and trustworthy. I encourage here to make her own decision and seek further help from Power to Change. God is good and is sovereign in deciding the timing of the conversion of His elected people.

At the end, God also used a Serbia Christian lady and her grand son to encourage us while I also encourage her grand son to develop his interest and skill in both academic work and sport but both for God's glory sake.

This was the 2nd last day Johnny can team up with me before he will be away for a period of time. It is an ordinary day or normal circumstances of street outreach with more jr less the same rate of rejection and successful chat. No matter what, each and every encounter is still a divine appointment that Gid created with a plan and purpose for both the preacher and the gospel targets.

Today I went to Toowong for street outreach on my own. The response in general was not good. I faced consecutive unwilling targets for chart if not blunt rejection. For a few who chatted with reluctance, it all ended prematurely with all sorts of excuses.

Nevertheless, I still have peace to accept this as part of the plan and will of God to let me experience for the growth of my faith in trusting Him always whether in good time or hardship.

Today we served with joy and oneness with 3 of the most long serving team mates namely Johnny, Ann and Hung all turning up. The three of us also spent sometime in exchanging biblical teaching on outreach and end time life style and commitment.

I still encounter spiritual winter facing most rejection but ending with some meaningful discussion with a Catholic background Christian who typically lack of assurance of salvation.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday January 7, 2026 from 1030-1130

This was the first day of Street Outreach that was resumed at Sunnybank Plaza Public Bus stop. Both Edwin and Johnny was occupied with their church home group ministry, so Hung was doing solo on this first new year opening outreach ministry. Since I had to catch up with another Street outreach organized by Limei of BOL, I did a shorter hours at Sunnybank but still was able to have a good chat with a senior local Aussie of French origin. He was of Catholic background but he on the one hand got the 2nd question right knowing that it is sola Christ and by grace through faith in Jesus sufficient and effective redemptive work dying on the cross to take our place to receive the wrath of God on our sin. But for the first Question, he was still confused by the fact that we are not yet perfect despise we already received Christ thus he has no assurance of salvation by 100%. It was because he lacks the understanding that God's salvation plan to deliver us is in three fold or by three stage i.e. the past, the present and the future. Past referring to the occasion of conversion to receive Christ which is an event. It set us free from the effect of sin rendering sinner all having been disqualified from the Citizenship of the Heavenly Kingdom but by His redemptive grace, our sin are pardons and set to zero as such our long lost heavenly citizenship can immediately be restored and that we all have reconciled with God even before our life substance is transformed back to perfect. This belongs to the 2nd stage of God's present grace of Sanctification that is to be carrying out over a period of time or throughout our life journey. The future grace is even our body will be changed back to the original glorious status that will live for ever without death or sickness. I anyway thank God for guiding me to have such extensive and comprehensive sharing with a Catholic background Christian who is humble enough to allow the light if truth be shed on him.

I anyway caught the bus 140 at 1200 to go to the CBD to meet the next outreach ministry organized by BOL at around 1300-1400.
