Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday Nov 24, 2021 from 1300 to 1500

Gary and Ben joined Johnny and Hung to make a team of four to serve at Sunnybank today. We split into two smaller team with Johnny and Ben going over to the East side and Gary stayed with Hung on the West side. There were many interesting conversations especially with two girls both called Charmaine especially the 2nd one who is an aborigine but urbanized living with us in city. Recap below anyway is the Battle Log of Hung.

1. Megan a mixed Japanese and Aussie cross breed girl who has not heard gospel before yet show genuine interest and willingness to listen to the full gospel and promise to make serious consideration to make her step of faith to accept Jesus as her saviour.

2. Two Chinese girls, one on the phone and the other one declared herself a Buddhism follower but I still managed to chat on with them the nutshell of the gospel though not with positive result.

3. Edward, is a Sherwood Methodist member who had chatted with Johnny before. Yet, he seemed to have no assurance of salvation as such I walked him through the relevant Bible for clarification and edification.

4. Tony a Pakistanis young man of Muslim background believes good deeds earn heaven. I Walked him through the Gospel message to get the right understanding then the bus came.

5. A Chinese guy by the name of Chan that Gary had contacted, was approached by me to see if he needed follow up explanation when he was still standing there. I was able to start a new round of conversation but then the friend who was to come to pick him up arrived to cut the conversation short.

6. Charmaine was a very responsive chatter but it was a pit there was not enough time to before the bus arrives so I could only touch base on the nutshell of the gospel.

7. Mark a good listener of catholic school background and he went to church but did not know if he is saved or not. It was good I had just enough time to brief him the nutshell of the gospel to bring assurance to him that by grace through faith, he will be 100% saved by the atoning sacrificial death of Jesus.

8. A lady by the name of Chang from China and with her brother who was too shy to engage into conversation. Chang raised many questions to show that she has a lot of misinformed understanding about Christianity. She was impressed and promised to rethink her choice to accept Jesus.

9. A man by the name of Chan from Guangdong listened attentively and patiently the full gospel before the bus arrived as show eagerness to consider.

10. Another Charmaine who was an Aborigine girl but identified with me after I share my AMOS experience. She was a bit argumentative initially claiming good and bad person all go to heaven as no person can judge and condemn others as bad guys. I agreed with her but get her to understand that God is the one to judge. Then I shared the full gospel showing her no one is perfect or righteous enough to earn the heavenly citizenship. We all will die in our sin unless a perfect person takes our place to receive the punishment of our sins. She finally consented the gospel message is right and is what she needs. We took a selfie as a memory of this divine encounter and gospel conversation.

11. An ABC English speaking avoid answering assurance of salvation despite attending local English church In south bank. Our conversation was interrupted by an incoming call.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday Nov 17, 2021 from 1300 to 1500

God’s grace is sufficient for those who serve Him faithfully. The weather turned much cooler with light breeze which was most ideal for street outreach. We started with just two of us, Johnny and Hung. But not long after Martin and Michael of OAC joined us. We shared a bit each other’s routine ministry during the week. It is always a great joy to serve together as a team even we are under different ministry groups. Finally, Martin and Michael moved over to the East side near Sunny Park. Basically, there were ample chances of conversation with non-believers and Christians likewise. The climax of today was a girl approached by Johnny expressed her desire to received Christ. Johnny asked me to give her the gospel of John as a gift and lead for her to pursue God and begin to do bible studying. As for me, God led two Congo people having the same name of Naomi to me, one is a non-believer and one is a fair dinkum Christian. God did have a mysterious plan to guide us to meet certain persons to accomplished his purpose for those persons. Recap below is my Battle Log for today: --

1. Naomi and Titus were sister and young brother from Congo. They were waiting for parents to pick them up. I anyway took the chance to share the full Gospel to them which they indicated full understanding, then their father came to end the conversation. But I trusted God’s plan and work on them is not yet finished.

2. Then God led me to approach another girl who is also from Congo and is called also Naomi. She must have seen me sharing gospel with other so she welcomed me with a big smile when I approached her. She did not let me know she is a Christian only after I finished sharing the gospel. Perhaps she wanted to learn how to share the gospel. I then switched to test for her assurance of salvation which was spot on 100%. It improved her full understanding of the three-fold deliverance of God ’salvation that we should not satisfy and stop at the point of justification receiving Christ to get our eternal life and heavenly citizenship. We should move on in His strength through the guidance of the Holy Spirit for sanctification by partnering with God to do His good work. She showed great appreciation for my clarification and edification.

3. Jack an ABC who appeared very attentive though not yet reaching the time for being moved to receive Christ.

4. Dr Chan mentioned about Christi’s Family Church when Johnny shared gospel with him. Praise and thanks God that he must have taken part in some of our half day tour for Gospel outreach and more Gospel movie in the afternoon after the morning tours. It was great to be able to catch up with Dr Chan which certainly is a sign of God’s special election to let us minister to him.

5. Amber and Carmen are two young girl from Hong Kong doing Master of Finance at Griffith. They have no religious background but were happy to chat with me as a Hong Kongers. I hope the tract and Gospel message will be served as seed springing into new life in Christ in His time.

6. Jo a middle-aged Aussie lady who claimed to believe in reincarnation but not God. I did not debate if reincarnation is real but focused on Jesus’ salvation. At the end, she still heard the full gospel and took a tract home.

7. Two girls are from Taiwan so I referred them To Johnny. They claimed to have some faith but not Christianity. From their life style and behaviour, we believed they purposely avoid Christianity that emphasizes on repentance from all known and unknow sin. We can only pray for them to realize sexual orientation is only one kind of sin that we human have committed. We all have committed various kinds of sin that we all need Jesus.

8. Then I approached an Singaporean man who listened to the nutshell of the Gospel as the bus came too quick.

9. Finally, I caught with another ABC and the bus again came too fast to cut our conversation short.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday, Nov 10th, 2021 from 1300 – 1500

We were over joy to have Ben joining us, Johnny, Gary and Hung today at Sunnybank. Ben uses to meet and serve with Johnny at the Inala Shopping Centre on every Thursday. We are grateful to God moving Ben to join us, hopefully on a regular basis from now on. Johnny chose to return to his old position on one of the corners of the pedestrian foot bridge on the Sunny Park side. I, Gary and Ben stayed on at the bus stop on the Sunnybank Plaza side. It was a good day of outreach with mixed results and surprise divine encounter. A young girl from Malaysia who chatted with Johnny first. I tried to go over to take a photo of them but their chat finished before I got to them. The girl just walked up the foot bridge and we walked pass each other. Instead, I took a snap shot of the girl when she passed by rubbing shoulder with me. Then half an hour later. The lady Sherina Lee appeared at the bus stop of the West side. She took initiative to greet me as if she knew me. Later, I found out that she confused me with Johnny simply because she saw me holding the same kind of tract in our hand. It however, kicked start a good conversation letting me to reinforce the gospel in her mind and encourage her to response to the tender voice of the Holy Spirit to receive Christ as her Saviour. Then weirdly, she left the bus stop as if she came her to meet me. God’s amazing work kept surprising me to not limit my self for any seemingly impossible situation for the Gospel sake. Recap was my Battle Log for Sunnybank today: -

1. My first gospel target was a man from Mainland China who claimed himself as a Buddhist.佛教男子 His intention was to decline to chat with me, but I still managed to tell him Buddhism is good but just as good as all other religions telling people to be a good person. Yet unless we are perfect, good and bad persons all go to hell to face judgement after death and be convicted to suffer eternally in Hell. He was interested to note that only Christianity provides a righteous solution to address sin that proper punishment will be exacted on every sin we committed. Yet it was Jesus who voluntarily took our place to receive the punishment as such we are deemed as sinless ready to be accepted back to our heavenly kingdom home. Pray that the message will work in his life.

2. Then I met up with Salina, a member of Rev Abraham Chen’s One Heart Church.陳有文牧師的會友，上了把握時機一課. Actually, on Sept 1, 2021, Salina from One heart Church greeted Johnny again. I took over to ask about her church general status and tried to introduce Kairos to her. 合一教會. Today I again had a long chat with her using the Kairos approach to deepen her understanding of the gospel as well as God’s Dual Kingdom and Redemption Project.

3. A local Aussie man was friendly and receptive to hear the gospel. It was a pity that the bus came too quick to cut our conversation short. Still pray that the Tract will serve the purpose as God’s Willing.

4. Then I caught up with a young lady from Le Shan Sichuan. 四川東北願意聽. My personal testimony of joining the rescue team of the Sichuan earth quake in 2008 had drawn her interest. She could feel the work of Jesus in my life through professing the Christian faith. She apparently was attracted to pursue but at this time her friend from Shan Dong came to end our long conversation. I anyway still managed to give that girl a tract and pray that it would take effect as God has planned.

5. I went over to the East side where there was much less chance to share the gospel. There was only one local ussie man at the bus stop. I had already politely introduced myself but that man still responded in rude manner accusing me approaching him without self-introduction and asked for permission to speak. The fact was as mentioned I did introduce myself telling him my name. So, I did not argue but pull away to let the rest to God.

6. Sherina LEE from Malaysia was very nice greeting me because of my tract . I anyway took the chance to refresh the gospel message with her as per narration in the above.

7. Then I met my last target today by the name of Shang Shan Dong響山東, despite being a mainlander and a non-believer, she seemed to be very interested in the gospel message. Another man listened from beside was also drawn into the gospel sharing and he took the initiative to ask for a tract as well as my phone number which I failed to give him as the bus was all waiting for him to board and leave. So, all I can do is to uphold all these to God. 非常有興趣丶另一男問電話？

Operation 513 Battle Log For Sunnybank on Wednesday Nov 3rd, 2021 from 1300 to 1500

The weather turned much cooler ideal for street outreach. Again Johnny, Gary and Hung met at Sunnybank to team up preaching the gospel to people of all nations. Gary first set up two signs with God’s words. There is always enough people flow in Sunnybank but it is also a very difficult mission field with high rejection rates, By grace, we still got enough opportunities to share. Team work is also very prominent here. It is not just collaboration amongst the three of us but more importantly each of us with God through the Holy Spirit. There were many instants that one of us got rejected in the first place, but ultimately other team mate would get a successful connection in the second approach. Recap below is the battle log of Hung:

1) A middle-aged lady appeared impatient to chat but eventually still gave in. She declared herself a Christen not long after I started sharing the gospel. SO I witched immediately to test for her understanding of the gospel and her assurance of salvation which she again appeared very impatient to answer. It was not a good interaction but I still thanked God for this divine encounter. 基督徒, 但不願理釆,也不肯定有十足救恩。

2) A couple of Chinese ladies who once declined to chat or taking a tract. I made a second attempt after they were be seated. Thanks God then they are willing to listen in a more relax mood. Their response to the gospel was basically positive. At the end, one of the girl was convinced and was willing to take a tract when the bus came. 一對中國女子，曾拒，後一女願拿單張

3) Then I bumped into a first general ABC as she is at least 40 years old. She could not speak good Chinese as such we still communicated in English. She was a willing listener of the gospel and appeared quite responsive. She promised to ponder after reading the tract at home.

4) Rice from China who rejected Gary but chatted in Chinese with me friendlily and interactively. Pray that the sharing will work in his heart.

5) Two Cambodia girls again declined Gary but was ok to talk to me in English. I shared to her that despite Cambodia is a Buddhist country, Christianity has picked up growing lately as I have many Christian missionary friend working there. It was a pity I could just manage to have time for a short chat as the bus came very quickly.

6) Lam a Vietnamese man who was so drawn into the chat that he missed the bus. He was very polite and claimed himself a Buddhist. I shared with him Buddhist is good at guiding people to be a good person but has no solution for the punishment of sin.

7) A Chinese lady took a tract before but don’t fully understand the gospel. I went through it again with her and she was a willing listener and appeared to be a seeker.

8 ) Chinese lady appeared a bit indifferent but still seemed to be listening before the bus came. At the end, she still rejected the tract

9) Another Aussie lady said she was fine but actually missed the chance.

10) Peter from Shenzhen is a fair dinkum Christian with 100% assurance of salvation and clear understanding of the Gospel. He was humble to learned why most Christians failed to have same assurance of salvation like him because of their insufficient understanding of God’s three folds salvation plan.

11) African guy on the phone but took the tract first to show his willingness to get to know more about God

12) Daphanie a Filipino nice girl who were willing to listen but the bus came too quick. Pray that the tract will do the job passing on the gospel message.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday October 27, 2021 from 1300 – 1500

The team of three Johnny, Gary and Hung assembled at the bus stop on the West side of Main Road. Gary however, set up gospel signs on both side to catch attention. We had a busy day with all sort of conversation opportunities of long or short duration. One of the characteristics of conversation to day was all facing initial rejections but the Holy Spirit did the work to soften the heart of those initially hardened heart person to come back for a chat. Team work was prominent today that Johnny referred many Cantonese speaking people to Hung. Another growing phenomenon is that meeting up with people whom we chatted before not just once but several time. It allows follow up on the genuine response to the call by the Spirit through the tracts. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung: -

1) Johnny referred an elderly man by the name of Wang 王 originally from HKG 港 migrating to Australia since 1974. He claimed to be a Christian but does not have clear and complete understanding of salvation by grace through faith. He was once induced to Mormon and got baptised there. But his divorced wife invited him to attend the Protestant Church if he wants to reunited with her. 離婚太太邀請去教會 So it is under such complex backdrops that I tried to make sure he heard the full gospel and understood completely before making the next step to join any church.

2) Yvonne a lady I met for the fourth time but I still could not figure out here true belief. She swore that she believes in one God head, but would not confine herself to adhere to any religion and or denomination. She does not admit she is a Christian. She admits there is one God but not necessarily the one revealed through the Bible. So, there is still big room to communicate with her to steer her back to the right protestant faith.

3) A Chinese lady listened but not that receptive anyway so the gospel sharing may deem as just seeds sowing.

4) Another Chinese took tract but did not want to chat.

5) Liam a Catholic background student but passed the diagnosis test of assurance of salvation. We then have a very long chat about some misconception of the Catholic faith including the issue if Mary is a Saint and in what sense. Liam was knowledgeable enough to know that the layman view treating Mary an ordinary person is popular but the theologian view on the contrary is the root of all those inconsistence fallacies elevating Mary to the level of a goddess wit no original sin and remain purity in virginity all her life. It was rare for a young man who has such broad comprehension of a complicated issues.

6) Three person seems to be a family claiming they and their family are of Christian background who know about the gospel. The bus just came to cut the conversation short as such I could not do any diagnosis test on their real understanding of the gospel and their assurance of salvation.

7) A Pink lady from mainland bluntly rejected me but then come back to chat. Her attitude turned from a reluctant listener to a willing and earnest seeker of the truth finished hearing the full gospel.

8 ) A Buddhist Vietnamese lady show willingness to chat and let me shared the nutshell of the gospel.

9) A lady claimed we met and chatted before so she did not want to enter into the same conversation and left her alone. Yet, the Spirit still urged me to keep on sharing that pushed her to a point asking me if we see Homosexuality, is a sin. If yes, then there is no more ground for me to share anything with her. I gave her an outright answer that in God’s eyes homosexuality is not something designed by God and pleased Him. But we are all sinners in different aspects that we are all a sinner on par and no one sinner is morally better off than other. Jesus came to save all sinners by his blood. So, as a Christian, we will never discriminate LGBT but accept them into our community while trying to help them get saved first then the Spirit will brighten up their eyes to see what they did not see before. I quote the example of the loving kindness love caring for a Homosexual gay man whose partner had died and he was so upset that he was thinking of suicide. yet our gospel team member rendered him first the love and empathy that he needed at that saddest moment of his life. Through the gospel, he will find new hope in Christ Jesus who loves and accepts all imperfect human. The LGBT lady seemingly was touched and softened to open for more sharing until the bus came.

Praise and thanks God to give us a shadier afternoon even with breeze on the West side of the Main Road while the East side was still comparatively sunny and warm. The three of us, first Johnny and Hung then joined by Gary, we all gathered to serve at the bus stop on the West side. As usual, we got nonstop opportunities for conversation with willing or not so willing ones. But God did manage to fence off rejection rate that happened a short while in the beginning. After that, we all got some long and meaningful chats leading to interesting result.

For Hung, the climax of the day must be a chat with a Jewish Rabbi. He instantly attempted to fence me off by taking off her normal hat to show the hidden Jewish rabbi Kippah. (*) And declared he believes in only one God. I shared his view and acknowledged that Jewish people do not accept a triune God of which I showed my respect to their tradition and belief. And I also acknowledged the fact that they deemed Jesus was not the prophesized Messiah but a person yet to come. As they could not accept a Messiah of a lowly image that died even on the cross in a humiliating manner. But I drew him to the knowledge that Jesus was actually the Messiah who had come and discharged his three offices requiring anointment of oil. As messiah is virtually the meaning of the anointed ones. So Jesus was first the prophet in his 3 and a half year earthly ministry to proclaim the gospel and called for repentance in the capacity of the messenger of God. Then He acted as the High Priest to offer Himself to die on the cross, went to hell, defeated Satan to kick off the Kingdom project, and conquered the power of death to get rose up on the third day to become the King of the new human race – the Church. These are all supported by historical facts that the Rabbi cannot deny. Alternatively, the Jewish Rabbi cannot name another Saviour other than Jesus that can be more qualified to be called the Messiah – the Anointed Ones. At the end, he became less hostile and I thanked him for letting me share about Jesus the Messiah to him and he appeared thankful for that.

(*) A kippah, or yarmulke, is a kind of minimal cap that covers the crown of the head. It is worn for religious purposes, not for sun protection or keeping off rain. Some Jews will wear a kippah under a different kind of hat. There are several styles of kippot (the plural of kippah) that are common around the world. Often, the style of kippah worn signals the religious (and even political) affiliation of the wearer.

Recap anyway are my Battle Log: -

1) Yip an ABC from Hong Kong who can speak good Cantonese with me. She is a Griffith student with no religious profession though her family professed Taoism. But she could have very good grasp on the gospel I shared to her as she did have chance to read the Bible at high school and be associated with Christian friends. 連道教廣東有接觸聖經. She is very open and smart to catch the core of the gospel and admitted that it is all sensible and logical. Pray that this divine encounter will change her life towards God through the redemptive atoning grace of Jesus Christ.

2) Rasin the Jewish Rabbi as mentioned above.

3) Yvoone , a lady whom I met for the 3rd time here. She recognized me and helped me to recall she is the one who believes in One God head in three persons and that Jesus is our Saviour dying for us in the capacity of a full human and full divine God.信三位一體的神. Her faith seemed to be OK but she still did not show her actual faith allegiance though she clarified to me that she is no Mormon or JHW. Johnny still feels fishy about her real status if she has hidden any sign of cult that she did not want to disclose. Pray for God eventual revealing of her faith identity. Other than that, we seems to be on the same faith wave length having the same Kingdom view and spiritual eyes sight on the current spiritual warfare status prevailing in the contemporary world.

4) 陳植台。Mr Chan a Cantonese speaking old man of age 88. He clained to have hearing problem as such he tended to speak all loudly about his life legacy with a supreme powerful father 陳寶記 who seems to have overcome death and walking with the Lord. His wording was clear but his logic of thought was all weird and illogical. All I could do is to spend half an hour to let him vent out his loneliness and ended the conversation by assuring him that his father if now transcending death, might have been with the Lord as such he is not dead but asleep in Christ. He later did disclose despite he is a traditional idol worshipper, but he is currently attending Church. Just pray that God will take good care of him.

5) Then I chatted with an Atheist man of late 50s from Mainland China. 無神大陸. I did not prepare to argue with him if God exist, but tried to introduce Jesus to him. He was open for chat but it was a pity he was interrupted by a call for a long conversation. I could not but aborted my approach and left it to God.

6) Then came another Hong Konger that I could only manage to have a quick and short chat. 港人短談He anyway took a tract and did start reading it after he be seated on the bus.

7) My last target was Mrs Choi 蔡also from Hongkong. She claimed to be a Catholic 天主教so I switched to check her assurance of salvation. And found that she only have 70% 七成certainty to be saved. So I corrected her wrong concept to guide her to realize she is 100% saved by grace through faith. The 3o % doubt of being saved stems from the awareness that her life is not yet perfect. So I use the three fold salvation model as per 2 Cor 1:10 to explain to her that despite we were not perfect before receiving Christ, we are still not perfect after being a Christian. By the grace of God , it will be sufficient to lead us through the journey of sanctification till we will be made perfect again to become an unique master piece of God. Mr Chai thank a lot for my clarification.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday Oct 6th 2021 from 1300 to 1500

It was still a warm early Spring but temperature already dropped to a pleasant level for open air outreach. It was still just Johnny and Hung teaming up to serve at the bus stop on the west side of the China Town complex near Sunnybank Plaza.

God started today with a test for us to have genuine compassion for homeless people who are at their most vulnerable status losing every personal possession but the worst is without hope to strive on to live as a human. Johnny started early before we met and pray to minister to Mit who was in obvious down and troubled mood with a reddish eye and a swollen foot. Johnny did his best to try to get the gospel message through but Mit was in no mood to listen kept trying to seek empathy of his miserable status. Johnny could not pick up fully his expression so had to let go and switch to another gospel target. God however moved me to have a second go to minister to Mit. After listening to his status, I first gave some suggestion to address some of his urging issue like replacing his lost driving license, then his credit card. I also made sure he did not miss the hospital follow up medical treatment on his infected foot. I identify with his current devastating status that need to start from zero. In the meantime, I reminded him not to lose sight of the more important eternal salvation but I did not dwell on this critical point but rather ended our conversation with a hearty prayer for him in the name of Christ to have mercy on him leading him out from the current wilderness dark night experience moment of his life. I then left him for another conversation and not later, I found he disappeared possibly got on a bus to make his first difficult step of rehabilitation of his ruined life.

After that, Johnny and Hung kept leading by the Spirit to make approach to the chosen ones and at time with complementary team work to refer gospel target to each other who speak the dialect. The Spirit also worked amongst us that we may pick up some ones that had rejected one of us but without our knowledge yet made it a successful second approach. In hint sight, it was all the credit of God’s work and we are just His vessel to do His Good Work as per Eph 2:10.

Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung: -

1) Mitchell is from Canberra with wife and children living at Caloundra. He lost all his possession at QE II during his hospitalization to treat his infected left foot. It landed him in award situation without identity, money and credit card. As described above I ended up praying for him with a hope to let him feel the love and care of God so as to reignite his hope to live.

2) Jack a middle age man from mainland 中國大陸. He was very talkative and a willing listener. He is not yet a believer but actually has been church going with many Christian friends. 很認同，有去教會. At the end he admitted the gospel I shared seemed very sensible, logical and acceptable. Just pray that God can remove the last barrier for him to make the last step of faith very soon.

3) Then the man I approached claimed he is a Marxist 馬克思主義者and a member of the CCP姓黨，He was not totally rejective claiming even CCP allow religious freedom 信仰自由，繼續聊 we kept chatting allowing me to share the core of the gospel to him and left it to God to do the rest.

4) Then I approach Mrs Yang from Mainland China. She was with her daughter so I started by giving the tracts to her daughter who likes the cartoon pictures. It earned me a chance for a long chat that appeared to be quite successful to get her admit the gospel message is all good and needed by everyone. 楊&女大陸願意聽

5) Mr Wong is an elderly man from Hong Kong for 20 years. He was referred to me by Johnny. As Hongkongers, we can identify with each other very well and the gospel message was passed on well, 王香港老人家來20年

6) Louis is from Brazil and appeared to be a very willing listener. It was good that I could share full gospel to him in time before the bus arrived. Have to leave the result to God.

7) Then I caught up with another Hongkonger Mr Chu. He looked much older than his age of 59. 朱59 攪笑。He kept interjecting while I shared the gospel for instance, who were those bad Guys in the gospel tract. To my surprise, he knew none of them. Anyway, I could only manage to share half the Gospel when the bus arrived.

8 ) Then I was rejected bluntly by an English-speaking man，but God had a plan B to move Johnny to make an 2nd approach with success.

9) I turned to another girl who was determined to say she had no need for the Gospel. I challenge was he so sure about issue of life eternity. She insisted then I let go.

10) Finally, another non-religious guy simply refused to chat or took a tract. It did not bother me a bit. As it is always God who is in full control.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday Sept 22, 2021 From 1300 -1500

The windy weather died down today but a spiritual whirlwind sprouted up with spiritual warfare attack from all directions. It was reflected in the gospel targets we met. For Johnny, he had an apologetic exchange with a charismatic background Christian who happened to intrude into the mission field where Johnny and I were working at the Bus stop on the West side of the Sunnybank shopping complex. He was sensitive to the biased theology of the charismatic background Christian trying to show him that speaking in tongues is not a necessarily condition for some one to be saved. Yet this particular person even unknowingly exposed himself as some one who denied the efficacy of Jesus’ redemptive & atoning grace that more conditions must be met like speaking in tongues on top of what Eph 2:8-9 stated clearly that we are saved by grace through faith, it is not out of ourselves but it is the gift of God, and it is not out of our good deeds, so that no one will boast.

As for me I face a few spiritual attacks. First, while I was sharing the gospel to a young student, an English-speaking woman was watching besides us. Initially I thought she is a friend or guardian of this Local Aussie young boy. But actually, she is unrelated. She put up with my sharing with the young one for a moment but finally exploded with threatening word that I have no right to share gospel to this young boy. Of course, I did not check and possibly we all never did so to check the age of the gospel target. The boy himself was a very willing listener. He had very positive response to the gospel and even agreed with me that it is not about age or race that every one should need Jesus. He showed great receptiveness to accept Jesus as his saviour. Perhaps this agitated the dark side of this possible God hater lady to step up her intervention of our gospel conversation. At this time the bus came so we had anyway to end our conversation. So, I managed to take a photo of the back of the boy while he got on to the bus as a record of my battle log of our conversation. Yet in effect, that was not his bus so they stayed put at the bus stop. But that unhappy lady possibly spotted me taking photo of that young boy. She urged him to ask me to delete the photo. The young boy of course was pushed by that unrelated lady to check if I did take his photo. He actually was neutral to that and I of course made no argument but deleted the photo. Anyhow, I can only entrust this young boy to the hand of God to let the gospel seed still be planted and take positive effect despite of this spiritual Warfare attack.

Then God let me have a couples of good effective conversation with both a non-believer from Hongkong, then a Christian from Ghana which I will recap below. The second spiritual warfare attack came when I approached a Muslim from Africa. He cunningly played trick with me by asking me to give him $50 when I asked him the question if he considered himself a good person and has assurance to go to heaven because of his good deeds alone. Thanks God that the Holy Spirit signalled me right away that it was a trap. If I gave, he will laugh at me being stupid to give money to some one who may use it to buy drug. If I refused, he can blame you that I am not a good enough person to care for others need. So our gospel message is just lip service. I wasted no time to tell him if you do need help, I will not give you money but accompany you to buy whatever you need like a fast food meal or drink to satisfy your hunger. This Muslim guy of course could only laugh it off teasing himself to put up a test for me. He tried to down play the status and work of Jesus saying he was merely a good prophet after Mohamad who is the highest prophet for God. I then asked if he knew the reason Jesus had to come and what he had done for all human? He of course cannot deny the work of Jesus dying for all of us on the cross and went to hell defeating Satan, conquering the dark power of death, and taking the places of all sinners who are willing to repent and accept Jesus as their savour. I asked the Muslim guy did you object to this historical and biblical truth about Jesus and he said no. Then I asked him if Mohammad did likewise to provide an effective redemptive salvation with 100% atoning effect to us by dying for us. He of course say no. So I told him, I don’t care how and where you put Jesus as a prophet or not, if he is behind Mohammad but actually Jesus was born before Mohammad. I only need you agree and accept Jesus as the only Saviour for all sinners. The Holy Spirit had been working along side and had changed the attitude and manner of this initially arrogant man but softened his heart to at least having a rational and sensible dialogue with me. At the end, he seemed to have turned into a friend rather than a foe and took a selfie with me to signify the work of the Holy Spirit and the glory of God helping me to fence off wave after wave of Spiritual warfare attack from within and without.

Summarized are the main conversations I had today which was cut short because of all the spiritual warfare taking place.

1) A very aggressive English speaking woman interfering my gospel sharing with a young boy at the Bus stop as elaborated above.

2) Paul is from Hong Kong who has just graduated from Uni and is about to return to Hon Kong. 香港長談I asked him why he chose to go back while heap of people are trying to leave Hong Kong. It set off our very long conversation and thanks God the bus did not come too early to interrupt our conversation. I did not just share the gospel but my personal testimony of salvation showing that God has a plan for each and every one of us. He rationally agreed the gospel is rational and all sensible but he opined that, faith is not a matter of facts and rational thinking activity, it is a special conviction by the supreme being, or the Holy Spirit. He felt this moment has not yet arrived but he certainly will pay good attention to catch this special moment of faith. My testimony of spending 40 years to receive Christ is a good reference of the timing of God that it is always in His hand and I can only pray that it will come the sooner the better for Paul my fellow Hong Konger.

3) Victor is a Fair dinkum Christian from Ghana who quickly was diagnosed with 100% assurance of salvation. We had very good fellowship and discussion to ask why most Christians fail to have 100% assurance of salvation. It was possibly they don’t have a complete & full understanding of the three fold deliverance of God as per 2 Cor 1:10. It was a pity I did not have time to take a selfie with this very liked minded Christian.

4) Dim a Muslim from Africa or M.E., who tried to make fun of me and Christianity but turned out to become a friend submitting to admit Jesus is the only Saviour not Mohammad the greatest Prophet even placed ahead of Jesus. For details, please referred to sharing above.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday 15/9/2021 from 1300 – 1500

Today, only Johnny and Hung were available for the weekly street outreach in Sunnybank. The wind had subsided and the weather was fine. But it was a comparatively bad day, especially for me. We started at the normal favorite West side Bus Stop but faced many rejections if not complete ignorance. So Johnny decided to switched to the East side where we used to serve half a year ago. Johnny had more luck and I got a few chances. Overall speaking, it was a comparatively quiet day. Nevertheless, it was not without the plan and will of God to teach us to remain faithful and preserve through harder time.

Recap below were my divine encounters: -

1) Rejected or simply ignored by an Indian man. Not even willing to take a tract.

2) Had a comparatively long chat with an old lady who claimed having got our tract before. Surprisingly she agreed that we are not perfect. But the way to go to heaven is still by doing more good work to please the God heads from her Chinese ethnic religion 天道教point of view. She once rejected the idea of atoning grace that non one can take our place to receive eternal punishment. I agreed because no human being is perfect so no one can take the punishment for us. But Jesus is God incarnated as the perfect human being as such He has the capacity to die for us and take our place to receive the punishment of our sins. The bus came and I can only pray for God’s further work on this old lady.

3) Then I chatted with a Chinese guy whom Johnny chatted with him last time. He was pleased to let me refresh and reinforce the gospel message to him.

4) A local Aussie rejected to chat and declined to take a tract. But I was empowered by the Spirit to keep the conversation alive with the man listening. At the end, the Spirit softened his heart to take a tract from me.

5) A Judgmental religious extremist first argued with Johnny and after a while was picked up by me on the East side. He opined that there is no good persons in the world and we are all sinners. This is theologically correct though we still deemed ordinary person without committing and convictable crime a good person. He further pushed that no one can go to heaven unless you suffered with Christ which makes the salvation conditional on our work to suffer for Christ’s sake. His theology was all confused and his religious following is unclear.

6) A Chinese Christian girl who has 100% assurance of salvation faith.

7) Emily claimed she chatted with us year ago and got a tract. So, I did follow up chat to refresh her memory which she was in full agreement.

8 ) Hannah another Christian girl who have deep faith in God. But when asked about her assurance of salvation, she failed to show 100% and not able to explained why we are saved. But with a bit of explanation, she got the perfect understanding humbly at the end with great appreciation for our chat.
