Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday March 20th, 2024 from 1300-1500

Ann Yeo has faithfully and regularly joined the Sunnybank Team for Gospel Outreach. I was surprised to find out she went back by herself alone to Myanmar for the 2nd time lately even venturing into unstable war zone area. So, she is really a natural itinerant evangelist and gospel warrior. For her age, she normal serves just for an hour while Johnny and Hung will do the full 2-hour shift. Today the number of conversations were more than usual of medium length. Some were of follow up and reinforcement nature. all orchestrated by God by His predestine election. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) First was a Christian from Taiwan caught up by Ann first. Just a brief exchange on his faith.

2) Next, I was led to approach a young man from Chengdu . He was a primary school kids at time of 2008 but the school in Chengdu was more solidly built not like those bean curb substandard school that all collapsed right away in the earthquake zone resulting in great casualty of school students. He could not agree more but time was up as his bus came.

3) Then rejected by two Mainlanders as the bus was coming too quick for any more effort to keep the conversation on.

4) Then I was led to catch up with a Columbia Catholic Christian lady. She came for English study so her English level is not that good. But still managed to clarify with her the need to have 100% assurance of salvation.

5) Then came across a Filipino lady that I talked before and her bus came too quick to leave no time for any form of follow up and reinforcement effort.

6) A lady from Shenyang, Liaoning by the name of Yu?. She has already migrated to live in Australia. Basically finished sharing the full gospel and she showed openness and reception to the message.

7) Another woman that Johnny approached claimed there is no church near her home at Wynnum I told her our church address and location which is nearest to her home, but she still has difficulty to come with a car.?

8 ) Then I was led to approach a Thailand lady who lives near Lao in the South eastern area. In her mind there is no heaven and no hell so she doesn't care about faith. I anyway guide her to establish that there is no perfect person in the world in human history. Even we basically are good person but imperfect. That mean we will also be subject to judgment and punishment after death for our sins. And Jesus is the only way for salvation. She seemed waived a bit to rethink her ground of being a good person is good enough.

9) Then I was moved to approach a couple by the surname of Chen ? from Shanghai that Johnny has shared the gospel many times and has now even given up to chat with them. Nevertheless, I was moved emphasize on the sinful status of all human that no matter we are good or bad, in God's eyes we all need redemptive by faith thru faith in Jesus, who take our place to receive all the punishment of our sin. It seemed that he was moved to response repeating our gospel message that Jesus is the real scapegoat who is perfect by sacrifice to die for us and make us cleansed of our record of sins. Although he still thought only those bad guys including those corrupted Chinese officials need Jesus. He is a good person so he is all right. I reiterated that no one can avoid hell unless that person is perfect. Pray that it is a new starting point for that Shanghai couples.

10) Then I was led to catch up with an Argentina girl who is a Catholic Christian but without assurance of salvation. She anyway was humble and took a tract to read.

11) Then I approached a Girl who was on the phone. Waited for a while but finally had to let go and switched to the next person.

12) Next was also a Mainlander girl from Yunnan who is studying at UQ, she seriously rejected to have conversation on religion despite I still shared her the nutshell of the gospel.

13) Next was a gramma from Guangzhou. . Had a bit of casual chat but then not time to dwell on the gospel.

14) Finally, I caught up with yet another Thai people lives near Lao. To my surprise, he claimed himself a Catholic Christian but know nothing about the gospel and thought he can go to heaven by doing a lot of good works. . He appeared a bit upset when knowing that good deeds is worthless for receiving salvation. Accepting Jesus as our Savior and lord of Life is the only way to heaven. He simply cannot accept this doctrine of salvation by grace through faith and ran away awkwardly for the incoming bus.
