Battle Log

The Battle Log is the place where weekly reports from each of the Operation 513 evangelism teams are posted.

It gives you a brief idea about what occurred during the outreach and some of the highlights.

Even though there is not a report from each team on the Battle Log every week, all these teams do meet according to the schedule (usually weekly). So please keep them in prayer and consider joining one if it is in your area.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday Mar 10th, 2026 from 1030-1200.

Today Johnny rejoined me during a break to come home before setting off for another long cruise trip. And the result of today was examplenerily fruitful with non-stop divine appointment of Gospel chats leading to open and receptive result. Two stand out chat with a Hinduism beacjground Australian born Indian, and a secularized Italian youngster all show pure faith in Christ right after the gospel dissertation in the most child like form. Also Hung was approached by a Hong Konger girl whom he met last week and she approached Hung to seek continueation of our chat but interrupted by the quick arriving bus. So everything seemed all so amazingly smooth.

Johnny and Hung also showed team spirit receiving same inspiration on a specific ministry development opportunities. It was a day of blessings with cup overflowed.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday March 4th 2026 from 1030-1130

Today, Edwin was occupied with Church home group ministry and Jo will do CBD instead this week. So finally only Hung and joined by Ann later to do the outreach work there at the Sunnybank Bus stop. It was a quite smooth sailing day for Hung. I first met up with a very familiar guy from Mianland but verey opened minded and receptive to the Chrisitan value. We chatted about the left trend endangering nomal family life while Trump and his team and like minded people collaboratively endeavouring to turning around the mind set of people to Chrisitan traditional value. Then the Spirit led me to have chatts with an Indonesia Chrisitan who is hlaf Chiense and Indoinesai. He claimed to have assurance of salavtion of 100% but only because a God answered prayer blessing their family, or his mum to give birth to yet another sister after being declared impotentcy. He was glad to have his concept rectified trusting in Jesus alone as his saviour. Another chat with a mainland young man was also very amazing. He was extremely open and receptive as well to the gospel. All in all, it was a productive and fruitful day of being on mission with God as guided by the Holy Spirit.

Today, Ann could not come due to skin infection being under treatment at QU2 emergency ward. So only Edwin, Jon and Hung teamed up to serve. For Jon, it is still a challenge for him to get coinversation only in English but not in neither Mandarin or Canitnese. He actually also joined the OPN 513 team on Sunday at CBD where he got more gospel opportunity in English.

As for Edwin, he served as usual in a whirl wind style getting connected with as mnay people as possible for normally quick and short chat. But today, the Spirit guided him to have a prolonged conversatikon first with a Chinese lady on Wheelchair and then joined by her husband and Edwin switched to have anther long chat with him.

As for me, it was also a day full od divine drama. First I was recognized but three persons that I have chatted before. They all took the initiative to apporach me and render words of encouragment. Then I was led to help a Korean senior persons to look for a place near by but requries 12 min walk. I showed him the direction but eventually chose toi walk with him half way making sure he will not have gone astray. I then share and test about his assurance of salvation along the walk. Back to the bus stop, I also had many fruitful chats with non-beleivers from Mianland, and an orthodox Christian girl form Montenegro who needs to have her assurance of salavtion clarified. It was a joy to be the messenger of God assuming the role of Priesthood for people of all Nations.

I served singleton as usual lately to day at Toowong. It was a more fruitful day in terms of quality of chat. Apart fropm still a few fragmented and incomplete chats, there were several full gospel deliberation with percerving postive feedback. It helps the gospel targets established the awareness of consequece of imperfect life infested with sins, as such there is a confirmed needs for a saviour to be an agent to cleanse the record of our sins to zero by His atoning grace. It was so satifiying that even a mainlander lady showed openess and receoptiveness to the gospel. The power of the gospel is great.

February is the last month of summer in NZ, and it also marked the last special outreach of the season for us.  Andy & I headed to Dunedin for outreach during O-week, or ‘Ori’ (university orientation week) in conjunction with Cornerstone International Bible Church, Shane Louie of OAC and a team he had gathered.  Our focus for the week was between the Museum Reserve (close to the university) and the Octagon (which included a major bus stop hub, and the main shopping area: George Street).  There were many opportunities to engage with students, but also people of all walks and seasons of life.

 

There was a lot of rain.  It was so heavy on Tuesday that Andy & I were forced to spend our time in our cabin in online outreach instead.  But the other days of the week were spent pounding the streets and talking to people face to face.  I’m going to let the pictures do most of the talking, but I’ll give one story.

 

On Wednesday, at the end of the day's outreach, I was tired, so I reverted to handing out tracts on George Street.  A guy noticed what I was doing and came over to accept a tract and talk.  He said he had just talked to a Christian guy and really disagreed with what he was saying.  It didn’t take long to confirm that he had talked to Andy!  Andy was at least a kilometer away outside the Museum Reserve, so it was quite a coincidence that this guy bumps into me soon after.

 

Anyway, I was able to continue the conversation, but he quickly became frustrated with me too - as soon as I started talking about the fact that our work can’t save us.  You see, his background is Bahá'í which tries to respect all religions and spiritual writings, and yet contradicts the clear teaching of the Bible by saying that we are saved by our effort, rather than by grace.

 

I didn’t make too much more progress in the conversation, due to his resistance.  But, I was able to challenge him: “if you respect all the writings, you should read the book of Romans in the Bible”.

 

The guy eventually moved on; we parted on good terms.  And, later, I was able to encourage Andy on how I was able to follow up on the conversation he had started.

 

On Friday, we spent the morning in outreach to the Bus stops and the Octagon, before heading back to the church facilities to pick up our car and start the drive back to Christchurch.  As we were driving out of the city, Andy noticed a Dominos Pizza and suggested we stop for lunch, but then I noticed a Pizza Hut just ahead, and recommended that.  It just so happened that there was a park right outside, and there was no traffic behind, so we could safely take it.  We went in and ordered some pizza to takeaway - we wanted to hit the road and get home to our families.

 

As we were sitting in the car, we decided to eat a few slices first, and as we were eating, who should walk by?  The same guy we had both talked to on Wednesday!  He noticed us, and came over to say hi.  Coincidence?  We were able to offer him pizza and continue the chat.  Amazingly, he said he had started to read Romans.  And then he asked if I could take his number, which I did.  So I’m still in contact.  The ball is in his court, he knows how to reach me if he has questions.  Yet, he is ultimately in the hands of God who is seeking and saving the lost.  He won’t lose any of his sheep!

Thank you for continuing to pray for our street and online work.  Without the power of God, our feeble efforts are in vain.  All glory to God alone.

Today, Jon was not available so only Edwin, Ann & Hung were present for the Sunnybank outreach.

It is a different kind of team work. Ann tend to have long chat with target for relationship building and connection before evangelization. Edwin work like whirl wind, sweeping through to catch up with every one and share the nutshell of the gospel. Ha ha, however today , he encountered a lady who was keen to ask questions. It held up Edwin for a good 20 mins or more.

It was good to work with God through the Spirit from divine connection with the elected ones, engagement into conversation and sowing the seed of Gospel.

Today is Chinese Lunar New Year Day, but just an ordinary working week day in Australia. Thus business as usual that I still went to dfo my commitment of street outreach at Toowong. It looked set that it was an extension of last week status that, time available for a full gospel sharing was all limited because people arriving to the bus stop very close to the scheduled bus arrival time. Despite of this late constraint factor, I still managed to have incomplete Gospel sharing with the elected ones chosen by God. It included an ABC Chinese who speaks only English, a Mainlander Chinese doing law study and a couple more from India, local Aussy young lady and finally an elderly Aussie lady who struggled to ride her 3 wheel bicycle down the slope from the hostel to the pedestrian path. In this last particular case, God showed me outreach shall go beyond talking but grabbing the Kairos movement to show action love first before you connected them to have a chat. This mindset was confirmed once again by God through the mega advertisement screen on my way back to the car park.

It was great to have Edwin coming back with Jon to try out once again this Sunnybank mission field. Though Edwin had to come much later because of an ad hoc zoom interview with the Methodist National Board members. It gave Jon some degree of freedom to experience again the way to do outreach whether it is by his own cleverness and choice or by the divine election of targets and guidance by the Holy Spirit. Ann actually joined us much earlier today but her calling to day was to have a long chat with an African man.

There were a bit of team effort between Jon and me. He approached many people facing quick initial rejection. I was moved to follow up for a 2nd attempt as moved by the Spirit. It works several time ie on an atheist Korean whom I first got him connected on the topic of the recent political Stalemate on the eastern seas warzone. Jon was able to connect with an Indonesia Christian couples (Paul And Mania) and invited them to join our Wednesday outreach.

Overall speaking it was a fruitful outreach hours for me sharing gospel and testifying for Christ to people of many nations, including 2 Koreans, an Australian born Indian, an Indonesia couples, two mainland Chinese elderly, and a few young Hongkongers.

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"
