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.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday April 9th, 2024 from 1030-1130

Today, originally I could not join the Toowong Street outreach from 1330 to 1500 as I have to take my wife to the Brisbane Private Hospital for a rehab appointment from 1000-1200 then bring my wife home for rest. However, Johnny just told me yesterday he has conceived CoVic as such he has to miss to day outreach ministry. Considering that 2 hours of waiting at the hospital is a waste of time for the Lord. So I was moved to go to Toowong to do a shorter round of outreach earlier from 1030 to 1130 than rushed back to pick up my wife. The timing was all good and I was able to chat with few UQ students as recap below: -

1) When I arrived there was a long queue but the bus was due to come in a minute so I had to wait for this queue be taken up by the bus, then I was led to first approach a Mainlander girl Liu from Hangzhou. I got hook up with Liu? quickly as told her Hangzhou was the first city outside of HKG I had ever visited in my Uni years. Secondly, she was interested to know I was a Master of counselling student of UQ while her under grate was on Educational Psychology. The Spirt soften her heart to listen to the full gospel even at the cost of missing her bus. She showed genuine appreciation for the gospel message and appear very receptive to Jesus salvation.

2) Then the Spirit led me to catch up with Astraea, an American born Pakistanis but still of a Muslim family. Yet she was also all open to the Gospel and she agreed that human could not rely on good deeds to heaven, but trusting God. She does not like most Muslim rejecting Jesus as God but just a lesser prophet then Mohamad. Instead, she seemed not disagreeing Jesus is God who incarnated as a man born of virgin but not born into the human race of a normal family with father and mother. She was happy to my explanation that Jesus could not be born into human race who carries Original sin as the enemy of God as such against himself as the son of God. She earnestly took a tract to revise on what I shared with her.

3) Then I caught up with Markka whose dad is Aussie and mum from Shenyang , Mainland China. He was also all positive and open for Gospel. Though his bus quick arrival cut short my gospel sharing. He seemed to be all Amen readily about Jesus as His Savior.

Had a bit of a stressful week in my personal life.  But I’ve learnt so much from it.  I now have a fresh empathy for those that get anxious.  I’ve experienced being constant in prayer and dependence on God - and seeing him answer!  I’ve learned that my micro management is not always needed; when people get in tough spots, God has given them survival instincts - yet, encouragement and support is helpful.  I hope some of this will be applied in my evangelism work in the future.

 

But, anyway, 2 street outreaches this week: Tuesday in Riccarton (with Roger), and Sunday (today, with Thomas) in the City.  On Friday and Saturday I was so tired I stayed home and worked online.

 

Tuesday started out a bit slow, yet Roger seemed busy on his side!  3 Christchurch Boys High students came and sat on the seats behind where Roger was, and since Roger was already in a chat, I decided to go over and engage them.

 

They seemed to have time, so I took it slow - I didn’t push it.  And I gave them plenty of opportunities to disengage.  Yet, at least 2 of them were keen to continue the conversation.

 

It was interesting watching them test my character.  Is this guy genuine?

 

Anyway, I fielded a lot of questions, but within that I was able to share the law and the gospel, and start working through check questions.  It was a great chat.

 

I’m sure I had other chats - I just can’t remember them now.  It was a full 2 hour outreach.  Glimpses of short chats are slowly coming back into my memory.  Nothing is wasted - even those short passing comments / interactions.  Little bits of ploughing and sowing.  God knows the result.

 

It was great to have Thomas join me again for today’s outreach.  He enjoyed the ‘walk up’, from the last time he joined me, so we decided to do that again today - no flip chart.  We started with prayer, and then put a few tracts & a gospel of John in our back pockets, before moving down Cashel Mall.

 

We started collecting rejections.  I think on the 4th approach we got some engagement.  It was with a young couple, hung over.  The guy had a ‘super religious’ family, but was in rejection.  He believed in God, and heaven, but not hell.  I was able to address that, but I was amazed he talked with us for as long as he did, before he decided he didn’t want to keep chatting about it.  Yet, they both took tracts.  He even said, ‘keep doing what you’re doing’.

 

I had a short chat with a young Irish couple from Sydney.  And then Thomas had a few goes at starting chats.

 

We then got into a great chat with 6 or 7 high school aged guys.  They were all in different places, so that was quite hard, but they were all very engaged in different ways.  They were queueing up questions by putting their hands up!  I spend a lot of time on building / builder, really nailing that down, before moving into the law and then the gospel and checks.  I think some of them were really getting it.  Tracts were accepted and a gospel of John was taken - I only had 1, and so they even did ‘rock, paper, scissors’ for it!  I’ve never had that occur before!

 

Thomas started the next chat, it was with a young couple.  He was instantly engaged!  She was very much not.  He came to grasp the gospel, although he really struggled with the initial check question.  “My brain is trying to process it”.  It was at this point that she became involved in the conversation.  She was very resistant, I became very aware of how the issue was less about intellect / logic, and more about something emotional.  I wanted to address it, but I struggled to disengage the intellect and address it.  In hindsight, I should probably just cut to the law!

 

We finished up with 3 more short interactions before starting to head back towards the car.

 

It was then that we encountered our local World Mission Society Church of God evangelists.  I decided to engage them in a very friendly manner.  One of them looked fresh.  What was great was the freshie decided to engage Thomas while I talked to the main evangelist.  That was great!  Because the guy I was talking to was very open about how closed he was (he refused my offer to catch up again or via email).  Yet, Thomas was able to engage the freshie with the gospel.

 

Well, that wraps another week of God’s mercy.  Please pray that God continues to raise up labourers for the harvest!

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday April 10th 2024 from 1300-1500

Praised be to God that sister Ada Gu was moved by the Spirit to join the Sunnybank Gospel outreach today with Johnny and Hung. Ada was readily an intentional gospel outreach warrior as led by the Spirit in friend circles as well as randomly at public place. We intermittently discussed and shared view of Biblical teaching on many aspects relating to gospel, sin, salvation, and onwards spiritual growth after conversion.

There was also team work orchestrated by the Spirit that guiding us to serve individual and groups of people as a team. Battle log of Hung is as recap below: -

1) A lady by the surname Shing ? from Tianjin, China was humble enough to listen to the full gospel and admitted the logic that every human being as long as we admitted ourself imperfect, then we all need salvation by a perfect person which can only be Jesus the Son of God who incarnated as a perfect human to come to save us by dying for us taking our place to receive the eternal death punishment. She willingly took a tract to revise on my message at the end.

2) Then I was led to chat with another mainland from North Easter China , possibly Liaoning . She is UQ student on Business Study. She was also open and friendly to listen to the gospel though not as receptive and assertive as Miss Shing.

3) Then I was to hook up with Jenny an Australian Born Hongkonger. She is a UQ student. Her parents father is from HKG and mother form Singapore. Her father is a Catholic Christian but she declared herself a protestant Christian. Yet upon checking on assurance of salvation, she only has 90% certainty she can go to heaven, so I took the trouble to clarify her holistic understanding of salvation. At the point, her friend turned up. But at this point in time, Ada also was led to approach us and took over the conversation with the new Chinese girl who chose to speak Mandarin

4) The Chinese mainlander girl is also a UQ student, but here English is not good enough for deep communication in English. God moved Ada in time to have a good chat with her.

5) Last but not the least, IK was led to have a long chat with Shred the Indian who study Engineering at QUT. His parents are of Hinduism faith but he is more of less non-religious. But he was quite drawn into the gospel message by the pure logic that as long as we are not perfect, good persons and bad criminal will both face judgement after death as such we all need a Savior to take over the punishment of our sins acting as the only mediator to help us reconcile with God.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday April 9th, 2024 from 1300-1500

It was a cozy autumn afternoon with the sun shining lazily without the usual heat. We waited for a while to let the long queue be dissolved by the quick arriving bus. It was a normal day that our outreach face rejections but still many other targets elected by God had been approached with mixed result. We simply humble ourself to do His work.

1) I was led to approach Two Pakistanis of bad English. One of them actually came for the TESOL study while his friend simply cannot speak English at all. But I still managed to chat with the one who speaks limited English and explained the gospel to him with the help of the tract and cover picture of Jesus' crucifixion. I trusted that God still used this divine encounter to shed light on their lives.

2) Caroline is a girl from Columbia who has no religion following despite her country is majority a Catholic one. She nevertheless appeared quite receptive to the gospel message that we are all good but imperfect persons as such a sinner in God's eyes. Thus, we all need a Savior to save us from eternal death.

3) Hannah is from Brazil who has already graduated and is staying here for work. He claimed himself non-religious. He is open mind to believe there is a God but don’t think he needs to affiliate with any particular god possibly he thinks he is a good enough person. So, my gospel presentation really gave him a big alarm shock that he cannot claimed himself righteous because of his own good deeds but must trust and rely on Jesus to take his place to receive the eternal death punishment of sins. He was happy to take a selfie with me to show his appreciation.

4) Then I was led to approach Deed a young lady from UK and is in here 2nd year study. Again, she was very sincere and humble to listen to the gospel and show great receptiveness to accept Jesus as her Savior.

5) Then I caught up last with a girl form Tianjin, China She is studying business but claimed she heard the gospel before in Singapore and did not think she need to listen one more time. I switched to share my own testimony to show how I was once like her dismissing the need of salvation by Jesus

I love climate change marches.  Or any kind of gathering that brings people passionate about some form of justice.  Because I always end up getting to talk to a lot of young, intelligent, people about Jesus - who makes so much sense!

 

It was no different on Friday, with a climate change march just getting started as I arrived at the bridge of remembrance.  It was interesting profiling all the people there (gay rights, palestinian rights, animal rights) and seeing a common thread: hurt people with no answers, who need to hear the answer: Jesus.

 

Anyway, after the march, young people would be moving through the city in little groups, and I could hand out tracts, or get into gospel conversations with them.

 

There was one young man, in his last year in high school.  We started by talking about the march and what the ultimate goal / solution of the march was.  I was then able to gently swing the conversations to deeper things.  Interestingly, his parents went to a good local church, but he was at a crossroads with Christianity.  He reminded me of me at his age.  I wanted to save him some pain, and so I pleaded with him about Christ.  But I could tell he wasn’t interested.  He was being polite in continuing the conversation, and so I respected that and wrapped it up.

 

By this stage, Roger had engaged his friends, who didn’t want to engage with me.  Rogers' chat seemed to be going well, so the kid I talked to went down a bit to wait for them patiently.  That was good, but sad that he was rejecting Christ himself at the moment.

 

I ended up finishing up the outreach in an unusual way.  There are usually Jehovah’s Witnesses about, and I normally leave them to themselves, but today I decided to approach them.  Usually when I approach people in cults, I take a non standard approach, them being prepared for a frontal assault.  And today was no different.  I started by asking them about another cult that is rampant in Christchurch at the moment: World Mission Society Church of God (the mother god cult).  I was curious on how 1 cult deals with another cult.  Interestingly, they didn’t know much about it.  But we ended up getting into a friendly conversation and getting to know each other better.  We talked about things we believed, without ever directly attacking each other.  I guess it could be considered a ‘waste of time’, as I never got to work on sharing the law or the gospel with them.  But at least I know them better as people - I know their names.  God willing that will lead to more conversation opportunities in the future - if not with me, with another Christian who will be able to bring truth and clarity to them.

 

On Sunday, I had Joseph and Elijah - from my own church - join me for the afternoon outreach.  They are familiar with the flip chart, so I decided to bring that with me for this outreach.  We prayed, and then set it up on the corner of Cashel and Colombo.

 

The first 15 minutes of the outreach was slow.  No takers.  I was concerned that my boast about an outreach always ending with at least one meaningful conversation would fall flat!  Yet, God was faithful, 2 young ladies who had gone past earlier, came back and were keen to engage.  It was a set up: they were there for a fight.  It became clear early that climate change was something they were passionate about.  But I was able to swing the conversation away from that and to the question of how we know what is right and wrong.  That led to the Building / Builder analogy.  They fought hard, but I didn’t back down, just answering their objections and sticking to my main point: there must be a universe maker.  It was interesting to watch the main opponent eventually concede the point (without actually saying so), I was then able to move into the law and get to the gospel.  It was a great chat, but sadly they had to go.

 

From here the outreach was busy.  If we weren’t in a conversation, sharing the gospel, I was debriefing and training with Joseph and Elijah.

 

Next we had another 2 girls there, this time not to attach, but just curious.  Sadly, they weren’t really engaging, so I touched on the law and the gospel before giving them tracts.

 

There was a young Catholic guy, who was also in it to fight.  That was a great chat, as we got to wrestle with the tension of repentance (that our deeds don’t save us, but deeds will follow our salvation).

 

There was a young couple who didn’t believe in God, but when they heard the building / builder analogy, he said, ‘that makes sense’, and they opened up to hear the law and the gospel.

 

These chats would often draw others to find out what was happening.  And tracts were able to be distributed.

 

God truly answered our prayers.  I was encouraged, because I so want Joseph and Elijah to have a good experience and be willing to come again and to grow in their ability to share Christ, for God’s glory alone.

 

We ended the outreach with a chat with one of my regulars.  Sadly, he knows about Christian things, but is clearly trusting in his works for salvation and now willing to reason - just wanting to joke around instead.

 

No outreaches on Tuesday or Saturday.  I decided to work online instead, and regather my strength.  God willing I’ll be able to do a full week of street outreach next week.

 

Please keep the team in prayer.  Soli Deo Gloria!!

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday April 3rd, 2024 from 1300-1500

It was two hours of journey of grace today, as the street outreach time was overlapped with the spinal surgery of Ling which started a bit late roughly towards 1300 and finished by 1433. In between, my prayer networks were fully mobilized to pray for Ling. God even summoned a student nurse doing her placement at the Brisbane Private Hospital to meet me at the Sunny bank bus stop. She was dropped off by friend at the bus stop waiting for connection to CBD. And at this time, Ah Lee and Billy turned up again so Ah Lee led the four of us including the student nurse Esther that I had just met into prayer. Then when we were about to finish the street outreach, good news from the hospital came telling us the operation is finished and all went well. So, it was a great experience of mobilizing all saints to pray for Ling leading to the smooth completion of the operations, Need continuous prayers for recovery and rehab. As for the street outreach, God also connected a couple of people I had a conversation 2 weeks Patrice the Columbian and Niroshan the Sri Lankan even 3 years ago. But through their feedback, our ministry has been under constant surveillance as such we really have been used by God as His witnesses to reflect commitment loyalty and perseverance.

1) Patrice the Columbian girl that I met 2 weeks ago reaffirmed her assurance of salvation.

2) Bianca an aborigine from Ipswich who claimed to be a Christian but only has 90 % assurance of salvation but 10 % uncertainty as she still could not get rid of smoking cigarette. I clarified that we are all saved by grace through faith and because of only the work of Jesus that we are firmly saved and be given back our Heavenly Citizenship. She was all happy and thankful for this clarification and teaching

3) Rejected by a Chinese

4) A couples from Shanghai who have already been migrated to Australia they were friendly and had courtesy to listen to the gospel Yet at the end they did not take a tract.

5) Esther a student nurse doing placement at Brisbane Private Hospital of Catholic background. God just sent her to sit beside me and brought Lee and Billy together we formed a on the spot prayer groups for the operations of Ling at that time was still undergoing at Brisbane Private Hospital.

6) Billy and lee meeting them in just 3 weeks’ time. As said Lee organize a prayer group on the spot with Esther invited to join us.

7) Next was a Mainlander of UQ who was not interested but still had a causal chat investing for next chance.

8 ) Niroshan Sri Lankan Carindale Shopping Mall manager who admitted we chatted 3 years ago and since then he has been watching over me as such any one can become and object of surveillance. Niroshan is religious but did not want to committed to any religion.

9) Then came a Sudan woann living in Australia for 20 years. No time to share the gospel but successfully handed out a tract.

10) Lastly, a girl by the name of Chang from Sichuan have a long chat with me after wondering around for an hour. She studied speech therapist that led our conversation to the volunteer work of ICC in China and finally hitting the note in sharing Jesus through the counselling class. .

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday April 2nd, 2024 from 1300-1500

It was by grace that I could still manage to deliver my committed duty of street gospel outreach at Toowong today, as God let the pre-operation procedure of my wife Ling be long enough to leave a break between the dropping off and picking up time from the hospital. So, we started normally at 1330 but had to finish earlier at 1430 to rush to hospital to pick up my wife. The sun was a bit scorching hot, but we nevertheless still managed to make many conversations.

1) First I was instead invited by Yvone Chan of CCCB St Lucia Ryans congregation. She thanks God for our steadfastness to serve Him as she never fails to find us there at the bus stop week in week out.

2) Then I caught up with an Aussie middle age gentleman who is non-religious, however, he had little disagreement to the gospel message and admitted every one need Jesus.

3) Shih a Fijian Indian person who claims he has studied all religions out of his only personal interest. I stressed to him what made Christianity stand out from the rest is the way it addresses sin and the wrath of God against sin.

4) Then I had a long chat with Jun?from Wenzhou he is non-religious materialism . He does not believe in any supernatural thing but he also could not reject the gospel message that we are all sinner that needs God to forgive our sins through the self-sacrificing atone death of Christ.

5) Joseph from Cairo Egypt was well aware of Christianity spreading in his country with all the good impact though himself is still regarded as Islamic by birth. He holds an open and assertive attitude towards Christianity.

Happy Easter!  It’s been a busy week, with 2 special outreaches over the Easter weekend.

 

I took last week off (hence no report), but partly in preparation for this big week of outreach.

 

The Sunday afternoon before Easter I was able to have the opportunity to deliver a 1 hour lecture on ‘the bones of a gospel conversation’ to those in my church in preparation for the Easter outreaches.  Much thanks to the elders of my church for giving me this opportunity.  If you’d like to see my lecture notes, you can find them here.

 

So, Roger and I had our standard outreach to Riccarton on Tuesday afternoon.  So much has been going on, I can’t remember any of my chats from that outreach!

 

We didn’t do any street outreach on Friday, because it’s a public holiday, and all the shops are closed, there are not many people out.  I worked online in the afternoon, after a Good Friday gathering with my church family in the morning.

 

Saturday was the Oxford A&P Show outreach.  I have to admit it’s a bit of a blur for me.  I left home at 7am to be there by 8am, and set up by 8:30am.  My daughter Dani was with me with a solid team from my church (the Brown’s, the Linton’s and Jordan) plus Mike & Rebecca Ryan.  It was so great catching up with Sam Linton and Jordan the next day and to hear of how encouraged they were from the outreach.  Thanks for your support team!

 

We had a bit of drizzle (rain) during the day, which was a bit annoying, but we all were still very busy in gospel conversations.  We finished up at 4pm.  Great outreach, glory to God.

 

On Sunday, I spent a couple of hours in the city in the afternoon.  There was a Christian dance conference on during the weekend, and they were going to be doing some street dancing.  I was asked to share the gospel with those that passed by.  The dancing caused a lot of people to stop, which was great!  I handed out a LOT more tracts than I normally do, with a cheery “Happy Easter”.

 

I also got into a conversation with 3 young people who recognised me.  They said one of their friends loves our tracts and follows the content online - which is very encouraging.  But sadly, these young people weren’t really interested in the gospel.  While I was talking to them, I got pooped on by a bird!  I think that’s a first!  (I’ve had a few near misses).  Luckily it only hit my hat, which I sweeped off.  I didn’t let that kill the conversation, we moved and continued chatting.

 

On Monday, we ran our yearly Hot Cross Bun & Gospel Tract outreach in Cashel Mall.  We had 3 tables set up and gave away 1,200 hot cross bun halves (minus about 50 eaten by the Christians in the team!) over the 2 hours of the outreach.  It was a lot of fun.  A bit slower than previous years, maybe because the weather was cloudy?  But that was okay, I had opportunities to get into conversations, and give away hot cross buns and tracts myself - which was great.

 

So, no details of my actual conversations for this report.  But needless to say I had many interesting conversations.  God knows the fruit it will bear.  Thank you for your prayer and support.  Glory to God in the highest alone!

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday March 27th, 2024 from 1300-1500

It was consecutively yet another rainy day with soaking rain. But God's grace was sufficient to make a break with no rain as soon as we prayed and start the outreach ministry. Then, as soon as we finished by around three pm, the rain came again. In rainy day and gloomy weather, people used to be impatient for chatting with strangers, we nevertheless followed the guidance of the Holy Spirit to reach those elected lost souls gospel and those claimed Christian to clarify their status of faith and assurance of salvation. Recap was the Battle Log of Hung:

1) Danny an Irish descendant was open and receptive to let me share him the full gospel. He is a concreter as such having a break because of non-stop rain and I was led to approach him as my first gospel target. He admitted he is not religious despite his parents and family are of Catholic Christian background. But he thanked me for explaining the gospel and God's salvation plan so plainly and understandable to him. He admitted he is not a perfect person as such he has the need to be redeemed from his imperfection. He promised to seriously ponder and rejoin his family to profess this Christian faith.

2) Rejected by a mainlander, but then God compensate this with the next target.

3) A lady by the sure name Li? from Taiwan wasted no time to declare herself a Christian of the Presbyterian denomination . But she failed the assurance test having only 80% certainty to go to heaven. It was clarified to her that she should have 100% assurance of salvation solely because of the work of Jesus dying for us taking our place to receive the punishment of sin making us a sinless new creation. She was appreciative for my clarification.

4) Then encountered several rejected with people even pretending to be friend to interrupted our conversation.

5) I nevertheless still approach yet another Mainlander who listened but not seriously. He also did not take a tract just thank for my sharing afterwards when the bus arrived.

6) Then I was led to chat with yet another concrete who was off the job because of rain. He claimed himself an Atheist but I emphasize to him he has all the right to choose his faith with or without religion, I just still managed to share the concept and logic that even people without faith still think being a good person and doing a lot of good things will be fine. I change tactic by using myself as a witness for God that with a right mindset of faith that give me peace and direction of my life, I could live an active and energetic life for God as such I look much younger than my ages. He guessed I am about 50, when I said I am 72 he still mistaken I was born in 1972 and said he is 74 which I in turn thougth he looks even younger than me at the age of 74. Once clarified, he was really surprise to see the effect of leading a godly life in Christ make a big difference in your appearance and mood. He thus appeared much softened to listen to the gospel. I later found out from the Battle Log in Sunnybank that Shu I chatted with him in January. So, it proved that he is still on the radar of God searching him out from the world.

7) Then I was led to approach a South African woman of Indian descendant yet already called Australia home. There was limited time to share and I had just barely almost finished when her bus arrived.

8 ) Next was an elderly man from Hong Kong yet originally from Mainland China whom I had a chat before. He obviously has not yet got the message of the tract still repeating that being a good person is good enough. . His bus came and could only pray for next time.

9) Jay a Filipino that I had chatted before still lack of assurance of salvation which I just touched base briefly last time. I could only still just briefly explain and must wait for next divine encounter.

10) Then I was lewd to approach a Sri Lankan lady Sissell who listened with difficulties because of English level. I still managed to share the full Gospel to her.

11) Kim a local Christian passed the test with100% assurance of salvation.
