Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday Nov 9th, 2022 from 1300 – 1500

Today it was the 2nd time I had to do solo which possibly will remain a norm for a while when Johnny is now back to Taiwan. Other potential team mates were all not available today. Praise be to the Lord, the weather was cooler than yesterday at Toowong, but the people flow was also quite low leaving me waiting at the bus stop for prolonged period. By the grace of God, I still made several meaningful contact especially the last one which was so obviously a divine appointment leading me to meet a person not waiting for the bus but his car under maintenance service as recap below.

1) I was led to approach a Sri Lankan by the name Innocent. We quickly identified with each other as we came to Australia more or less the same time. He is a cleaner but he is proud of his work even though back in Sri Lankan, cleaner is regarded as a grass root low level job. I use this to kick off the gospel sharing that whether a good person with a good job as a dignified good person would be save enough to launch himself into heaven rather than hell. He was in total agreement with the logic or rationality of the Gospel though finally he indicated he is a Buddhism follower though his dad is a catholic Christian. I emphasized to him that religions are good but incapable of bringing g a solution to address sin and punishment. He promises to ponder further with my tract.

Agreeable to the gospel

2) Then I was led to approach a lady from Henan. She was opened to the gospels but it was a pity the bus came too quick. But she asked for a tract and pray for God's follow up work.  

3) Next came a young man from Shandong, he was very serious to listen and showed genuine interest to know more about God and the gospel especially when I told him Shandong have experienced many wave of revival. The founder of the Back To Jerusalem" BTJ movement was also from Shandong.

4) Then I was led to approach another lady from China she said she was in a hurry but I said as long as you need to wait for the bus, I can chat with here as long as possible until the bus came. So finally, she turned relax to listen to the full gospel and find it convincing and acceptable. At the end, she got a tract for revision of the message I shared.  

5) Finally God led Thomas, a Slovakian Catholic to come to the side bench near the bus stop. But he was there not waiting for the bus yet his car under maintenance service. So he was in complete relax mode for a long chat. I started to identify with his country and their Father of the Nation Václav Havel OC (Czech pronunciation: 5 October 1936 – 18 December 2011) was a Czech statesman, author, poet, playwright, and former dissident.[1][2] Havel served as the last president of Czechoslovakia from 1989 until the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1992 and then as the first president of the Czech Republic from 1993 to 2003 and was the first democratically elected president of either country after the fall of communism. As a writer of Czech literature, he is known for his plays, essays, and memoirs. 

Havel's Civic Forum party played a major role in the Velvet Revolution that toppled the Communist system in Czechoslovakia in 1989. He assumed the presidency shortly thereafter, and was re-elected in a landslide the following year and after Slovak independence in 1993. Havel was instrumental in dismantling the Warsaw Pact and enlargement of NATO membership eastward. Many of his stances and policies, such as his opposition to Slovak independence, condemnation of the treatment of Sudeten Germans, such as the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia after World War II, and granting of general amnesty to all those imprisoned under the Communist era, were very controversial domestically. By the end of his presidency, he enjoyed greater popularity abroad than at home. Havel continued his life as a public intellectual after his presidency, launching several initiatives including the Prague Declaration on European Conscience and Communism,[4][5] the VIZE 7) Foundation, and the Forum 2000 annual conference.

Then I returned to the diagnosed question testing for his Assurance of Salvation which sadly is very low. I took the chance to revisit the plan of God and how all people are saved by grace through faith in Christ as such we should have 100% assurance of Salvation. He thanks me a lot and we took the only selfie for the day.
