Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday January 16th, 2024 from 1330 – 1500

I had all the reasons to skip going to Toowong today. First, it was a heavy rainy day (60%) with non-stop torrential rain the whole morning. Although there was a forecasted dry period in the early afternoon, but the rain had never stopped completely but just got eased up every now and then. Second, Johnny has gone back to Taiwan for a month, so I am left alone to do all committed regular outreach. 3) I tried to invite a couple of street outreach co-workers to join me but all of them became unavailable. Nevertheless, I still felt greatly burdened to go. God was good and really made an one hour window of dry period at Toowong and provided several Kairos moments for me to reach out to several persons with fruit bearing result as recap below: -

1) I was clearly led by the Spirit to approach a 2nd year student Zhou? from Shenzhen . He was surprisingly open and was keen to have a long chat with me on Christianity as he has many Christian friends as such, he has considerable amount of knowledge on the Bible especially about Jesus. He even claimed he sensed that I was the one sent to talk to him about gospel and salvation. Thus, I chipped in many additional biblical knowledge related to God's mega dual Kingdom and Salvation projects and How God kept revealing His plan and mission through the Bible. At the end, Zhou seemed to have been moved and have the conviction to accept Jesus which I promised to pray for him in this regard. So, this divine appointment along readily justified the reason I felt burden to come to Toowong against all odd and unfavourable factors.

2) Next was a rare PHD student from Myanmar. He was surprised I greeted him with Shingalabarand was interested to know I had been to Yangon for street outreach. The bus anyway interrupted out conversation, but I believed our brief divine encounter may serve a purpose to draw him nearer to become a believer.

3) Next, I was led to catch up with Eric a local Aussie from Townsville but is a cross breed person with a British dad and an Indian mother,

Not long after we started our conversation, he indicated he is a Christian as such I quickly switched to test for his assurance of salvation. His answer is that He may have 100% assurance of salvation that virtually means he still has no 100% assurance of salvation. But his answer to the 2nd question is right understanding it is all because of what Jesus has done dying for us to take our place for the eternal death punishment. I encouraged him to get connected with Power to Change for continuous spiritual growth,

4) Emma another local Aussie with the nutshell of the gospel shared. She is non-religious but appeared open and receptive to the gospel.

5) Then I was led to meet with Chai the Korean who came as a tourist visiting friends. Surprisingly, he is a non-believer despite majority of Koreans have turned Christians. Nevertheless, he also showed openness to the gospel with good interaction with me.

6) Lastly, I tried to approach an old Aussie Lady, but could not manage to have a meaningful chat as her bus arrived almost immediately.
