Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday January 20, 2021 from 1300 - 1500

Following Toowong, the official Street Evangelism at Sunnybank was resumed today. Initially, only Johnny and Hung were there to serve, then Col joined in half an hour later. The team of three was later being paid a visit by Rev Henry and Gloria of Bread of Life Church as a surprise support for the day. Basically the weather condition was superb in comparison to the high noon heat yesterday at Toowong. The general response was however not as good. But we all got some special divine encounters : Johnny chatted with a Buddhist background lady for a long time and eventually the conversation was extended with final good result. It was made possible by Johnny walking the lady to her appointed venue to meet friend at Market Square; Col had a very long chat with a seemingly very rational and argumentative Asian man; Hung met with a Catholic background man from El Salvador where Hung 's father once work there for ten odd years. God does work in His mysterious way to call and save His elected ones by His sovereign power, in His time. Recap below were the few Conversations that Hung had.

1) An Indian girl was lost for direction. I was able to show her direction to Market Square and in the meantime gained an opportunity to share here the nutshell of the gospel before she hurried away for her appointment.

2) After many rejections, God stopped an Espanol guy to have a chat with me. He was in a hurry but still let me share the message of the gospel tract with him. He quickly identified himself as a Christian. So I switched to diagnosis his assurance of salvation. He appeared to have 100% assurance of salvation but stopped short in telling me the reason he is sure going to heaven. Actually, as a Catholic Christian. He completely missed the point and thought it was all gained by his good deeds. He excused to end the conversation as he was really in a hurry, but before we were apart, he told me he is from El Salvador where my father once worked there for over 10 odd years. Because of this remote affiliation , he was happy to take a photo with me. God did send him back to have another short chat to wrap up on the real meaning of salvation by faith through grace in Christ.

3) Then I bumped in with two PNG young brooks from Sunnybank District Baptist Church. They were going to meet with other guys to have a basket ball game. But I still managed to checked upon their assurance of salvation. Again they have 100% assurance but took sometime to give me the correct answer of the reason of salvation was because of Jesus alone. Col actually later caught up with one of the PNG guy on the other side to have a long chat.

4) At the bus stop, I caught up with a Filipino lady. I managed to go through the assurance of salvation test with her but the bus arrival interrupted this attempt.

5) I met Teresa again a Taiwanese girl doing Postage of good back to Taiwan as a means of earning money for her study . Just encouraged her to keep pursuing the faith in Christ.

*) Teresa a Taiwanese student coming here to study but uses her spare time to do bulk purchase for shipping back to Taiwan. I met her on Sep 2, 2020 . She was first approached by Johnny, but quickly we recognized each other and continued on chatting along. She showed great interest in Gospel and asked me to have her more tracts to hand out to her friend. She bided me good bye and looking forwards to meeting me same time next week.

6) Finally I caught up with a Chinese basket baller minding him that the basket ball court may have been fully occupied by the PNG guys. He thanked me for the alert and I took the chance to have a brief gospel sharing with him which he originally declined to stop for Johnny. God has his way to stop anyone even with initial intention of rejection.

感謝天父把中國的鄧同學，印度的Anna Ryan帶到我面前，他們聽到了福音，祈求天父賜福給他們，讓他們真認識上帝，為自己的罪悔改來信靠耶穌得永生。
