Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday April 17th 2024 from 1300-1500

Thanks God, Johnny had recovered from CoVid19 and could come for the Sunnybank gospel outreach though he was late because of GP appointment. I started first and johnny joined me 20 min or so later. More Chinese than local Aussie or people of other nations were contacted. Some made outright reject and most were open for the Gospel, as elected and prepared by God.

1) The beginning was not so smooth, being rejected by the first girl likely form mainland, then having approached the 2nd one with success yet, she was only friendly or timid enough to let me share even the full gospel, but at the end, she still pulled out without taking a tract even before the bus arrived.

2) Despite of that discouraging start, I was led to connect with Ding?from Anhui . He was more open and receptive to the gospel message, though our conversation was cut short by his arriving bus.

3) Then I was led to chat with an ABC of Taiwan origin , his mind set is quite assembling with the younger generation Aussie looking down on religious thought. But he admitted he could not deny the logic of the gospel that we, human race, is of depravity beyond self-redemption. That he shared the view that we all need a Savior. At this point his bus arrived and I left him with a tract and the room for reflection and pray for the follow up work of the Holy Spirit.

4) Then I connected with a local Aussie of mature age and breaking the ice on the topic about pharmacies policy that tend to cut price by cutting staff as such the queue time is getting longer. It certainly brought up the issue of human profit-oriented nature. Though I did not even have time to start the gospel message, we certainly had agreed on the basis that human nature have all been distorted by sin of selfishness and self-centeredness.

5) Then I caught up with a Tall Aussie guy who were open to let me share the full gospel. Yet he still opined that there is no need to be perfect as long as we tried our best to be a good person. I could only let go when his bus arrived as obviously, his heart is still hallow without the sense of a righteous God.

6) Last but not the lease, I was led to approach another ABC Salina, who again was polite and open to let me share her the full gospel but just made a note right away that she has heard all these when she was studying in a Christian school. I asked her if she has any negative comment on the logic and sensibility of the gospel then she failed to give a valid reason. So, it was simply a prototyping impression that religion is for those weak and disadvantage people. As long as she could remain to be a good enough person, student etc. Religion so far is a bit irrelevant. So, I could only pray for the follow up work of the Holy Spirit to let her experience the helplessness of human that God alone is the way out.
