Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday Nov 29th 2023 from 1300-1500

It was a new day of grace that God let the sun out with a warm and dry weather good for street outreach. More so, we have Rev Samuel Chiu joining us the 2nd time to do street outreach. He was now completely adapted to the street outreach setting and has become very bold and swift to approach people of all Nations for Gospel sharing. His English is excellent and effective for chatting with English speaking people. Johnny and Hung were all amazed at God's power to have moved and empower Rev Chiu to become a gospel warrior sharing gospel fearlessly to whoever coming to the Bus Stop. In a word, all the three of us had many fruitful conversation leading people to Christ or just in short of the last step of faith.

1) I was led to approach Christine a local Aussie girl whom Edwin once approached in the previous week. She was readily moved and with heart softened to receive Christ but was still blocked by a wrong concept that she is still not good enough to become a Christian. But she treasured the gospel message so she keeps the tract folded in her small lady wallet and showed it to me to support she is readily taking the gospel message seriously. I did not know the issue blocking her but the Spirit moved me to share along that line and finally get to the point that no one can wait before they become a better person to become a Christian. Rather no one is perfect enough to deserve the eternal life which is by grace trough faith given to us as a gift at the cost of Jesus paying the price of His life to die for us taking our place to receive the punishment of our sins. So, all she need to do is to simply admit herself a sinner beyond redemption by self-perfection, but surrender her life to accept Jesus. Then the eternal life as a gift and heavenly citizenship as a new identity will be granted to her. She was over joy to finally understand the points of the gospel and I urge her to take the last step of faith action to receive Christ when she had to leave to board the bus.

2) Next was a Mainlander up for summer term class. He just took a tract to read and pray for future encounter.

3) Then I approached a Korean girl who claimed we met before. But her English level is a bit week to make the communication a bit difficult. Nevertheless, I still managed to revise the nutshell of the gospel with here.

4) Orchard a Nigeria Catholic Christian who has 100% assurance of salvation but the reason he believes is his obedience to follow God's rule so it was utterly wrong to think that his salvation is dependent on his good work and or faithful service in the church. It was good I could clarify and correct his wrong understanding of salvation.

5) Then I caught up with an old lady from Shanghai who has migrated to Australia. So she is comparatively open minded for Gospel thought most time was spend in build rapport with her.

6) was once a gospel target I met at Sunnybank and brought him to CFC twice. He has now settled down at BCAC as it is the nearest church that he can go on foot. I encouraged him to seek not only secular job for living but spiritual work for spiritual life growth.

7) Next was an Australian born Vietnamese abv. As an Australian, she was comparatively open for the gospel which I could manage to share half of it when her bus arrived. She took a tract anyway.

8 ) Two Cantonese speaking matured age woman just fooled around to disguise their nationality and avoid serious or genuine gospel chat. One as non-believer simply walked away, leaving one self-claimed Christian to chat with me, but her biblical knowledge is very weak but instead she challenged my gospel sharing is not orthodox. I suspect she actually is from a Sect or a nominal Christian without much spiritual intake.

9) Two local Aussie lady but one of them behave and spoke in very arrogant claiming that she is readily a Christian and learn all about the faith for 20 years and she did not want to hear anything form me. But upon testing of her assurance of salvation, she answered only 90 % which obviously showed that she is not yet a well learned Christian theologically speaking. Despite my clarification and explanation, she seemingly simply intended to disregard them all.

10) Last but not the last I caught up with Johnson and fallen back Christian from Hong Kong, coming here for working holiday. He was brought up from Christian school and once attend church regularly, but in the recent years, he has stop attending church and feeling a bit alienated from God. Thanks God using me to rekindle his faith in God through going through the Bible to prove that God in above time and space and everything like creation, redemption are all in h=His Good hands. Pray that God will move and lead him to Christ if he has not done so before yet and find a spiritual home to kick off his journey of sanctification by discipleship training.
