Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday 281/6/2023 from 1300-1500

Praise be to God that Hao Qin joined us for the consecutive 2nd day. He seemed to be deeply driven to work with us as a team for the long haul, not just for two tern break weeks as previously thought. He actually had the first taste of street outreach under Andrew Walkington when he did the Evangelism course with BST in 2021. We missed the chance to meet each other then as Andrew might have brought them to Sunnybank at a different time. Anyway, after two years, God moved him to respond to Johnny’s calling to join our weekly outreach. It seemed that God even has moved him to summon more capable younger brothers& sisters of the Sherwood church to build an outreach team in His time like what God has raised up His gospel outreach team in GCCCC, SCCCC and Antioch Lutheran most recently. Hao Qin was apparently gifted in cross cultural evangelism in both language wise and boldness in making a quick approach as led by the spirit. We formed a good team complementing each other’s. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) First approach was to a person from Jie Jiang China who showed no interest but still I shared him the nutshell of the Gospel.? ,

2) Anna a Vietnamese lady who chatted with Johnny before has assurance of salivation but need a bit more clarification as her English is not good enough to explain why she has 100 % assurance of salvation. But it was really a very rare case for a Christian from an originally Buddhism country.

3) Approached two Mainlander first by Johnny and then me later but they were scared off.

4) Then I connected with a Vietnamese lady of Buddhism background. She expressed no interest to chat but I still manage to chat and share the gospel until the bus came.

5) Morehead and Queenie are from a city North of Mumbai in India. Initially they rejected our approach, but I did not give up and found out that they were new comer to study at QUT who had just arrived and need to take a bus to garden point of the CBD. They were lost for direction and was about to make a wrong turn. I stopped them in time and guide them to take the next bus to Queen Street Bus terminal. They turned around become very appreciative for my help and took the initiative to take a tract when their bus came. They also were very happy to take a selfie with me and pray that God will lead them to meet with another evangelist hopefully with OAC guys at Garden Point QUT campus.

6) Met again with Catherine a Catholic Christian from Philippine whom I met her first time on May 24th. To my surprised she has very clear understanding of the gospel with 100 % assurance of salivation. She was delighted to take a selfie with me. It was good I met her again today and recognized her for mutual encouragement.

7) Two ladies rejected Qin but I caught up with the Spanish speaking lady later. We had a good chat as I could connect with her in a bit Spanish. I managed to give her a tract to read when they had to leave the bus stop.

8 ) Then I approached a Vietnamese couples. The wife appeared not tolerance and left while the husband still want to listen.

9) I Met with another Filipino lady of Catholic faith. She was open to the gospel and was happy also to have assurance of salavati0on clarified.

10) Last but not the least I connected with a lady by the name Zhang from Wenzhou of Jie Jiang. It was the Jerusalem in China because of greatest proportion of Christian as well as the number of missionaries sent out. She is from a Christian Family, and boldly admitted she is Christian. But her teaching about salvation is not sound as such she did not have assurance of salvation. which I clarified for her thoroughly. . She thanked me for that and dared to take a selfie with me which is the first ever for me with a mainlander Christian.
