Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday November 4th from 1300 - 1500

Johnny and Hung were pleased to have Allan joining us today. All of us were given many divine appointments of long chat of which many of apologetic nature to explain the difference between Christianity and other world religion. Without exception, God used both of us to convey the truth about God , His salvation and the Bible teaching while maintaining a lively and friendly two way conversation with people of other faith. For Johnny, he had his first chat with a Buddhist from mainland China for 40 mins, then one after another over 15 minutes chat ending with a pair of Muslim youngsters from Pakistan. Johnny first then taken up by me to have a long chat over 45 minutes. They even asked us to leave our contact so that they can refer some of his Muslim friends to chat with us.

Recap herewith are my seven conversations:

1) Miss Mong 孟，from China 中 is a QUT year three student. She admitted she has been brought up as an atheist in China. But ever since she came to Australia to study, she started to have many opportunities to get in touch with all sorts of religion. She once went to the Mormon meeting eager to know more about Jesus. She did not stay at Mormon but attended the local Australian church at Annerley where she lives. With piece meal bit of knowledge about God and Jesus, she was not able to make further meaningful pursue. But the long chat with me today have cleared up all her trivial understanding and was convinced that Jesus is the only way to eternal salvation. I recommended her to go to SIC when the church reopen after rebuilding construction is finished.

2) A Nepalese old man let me walked him across the bridge and have listen a nutshell of the gospel message.

3) A Chinese old woman at the bus stop had initial reluctant to hear the gospel, but God moved her to change heart and let me finish the sharing of the nutshell of the Gospel.

4) An Aussie Career and the old man he was caring passed by. He stop the old man to take tract from us, but God changed his mind to take the tract from me and have a short and brief chat of the gospel message.

5) An Indian old woman with initial reluctant but still let me share the gospel in brief and I let her read the tract at home when the bus came.

6) A Korean Christian man can speak limited Mandarin but no English as he is married to a Chinese wife. I checked his assurance of salvation and he replied correctly to have 100% certainty. But the reasons he could have that certainty was not clearly communicated to me due to limited Mandarin.

7) Two Pakistanis Muslim Tafe students by the name Shani and Muneeb started to have a apologetic debate with Johnny for a long time. I took over as Johnny had to leave earlier. They are very serious and sincere to explore the real truth though they still endeavor to uphold their Islamic faith which they do not have a full understanding either. We leave contact for him to invite more knowledgeable Muslin friend to find out which way is the way.

感謝天父上帝的祝福和帶領，我們Operation 513 共有三人參加今天的街頭福音事工，第一位停下腳步的是一位從湖南就讀QUT的賀同學， 他第一次聽到了福音，我們聊了三十分鐘，請為他禱告。另外有丹麥來的Nelson ;馬來西亞的謝先生，台灣邱同學，兩位回教徒青年，祈求上帝憐憫恩待，拯救他們，另外有兩位信仰堅實從南非來的Philip； 澳洲老太太Bev,祈求上帝繼續保守看顧他們，將來在天上再相聚，一起同聲讚美上帝，數算上帝的恩典。

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunny Bank on Wednesday Oct 28, 2020 from 1300 to 1500

Despite 100% certain Severe Storm Warning, Johnny and I still attended to the regular Street Evangelism. Both Andrew and Col were not available. It was good as usual. God gave us chance to have apologetic discussion with people of other faith like Muslim, Buddhism and Atheism. We were just doing ou best to explain the gospel and show them the differences and let them to ponder if their own religion really is capable of addressing same issue of sin like Christianity.

Storm came only after we finished out duty for the day.

Recap below was my battle Log:

1) A young man by the name Jacky 小杰 who is from China大陸, he heard the gospel and claimed he now understand it 明白 . So leave it to God to convict him at His time.

2) An elderly woman from Hong Kong by the name Ko, 高婆 claimed to be a Christian. She asked me to give her my number so that she would call me to pick her up for Sunday service.

3) Ken a Vietnamese of Catholic background, has no assurance but admitted only Jesus is perfect for saving us.

4) Mick a consultant from Herb life. He is of Catholic background but has not attended church for a long long time. He understood the gospel but of course do not have assurance of salvation. It was clarified and he felt convinced.

5) An Indian Atheist with string will against and religion. I walked him across the bridge but he is not humble and open enough to really listen to the gospel message. I anyhow still can maintain a two way communication and we greeted each other an hur later after he finished his errands.

6) A Chinese old woman took the tract but did not stop for chat.

We were grateful to have Andrew rejoining us on a regular basis at Sunnybank. It was proven that it was a right and wise decision as all of us got many chances to share individually and as a team. In between, we ourselves had time to share experience and fellowship. God is good and was with us all the time all the way.

Meantime, the Mormon missionary from overseas turned up in a group of three. It means more so we have to stand our ground to serve on the street regularly, not giving up ground to the Mormon as much as we can.

Recap below are the conversations I had for the day.

1) Daniel chatted with me some times ago. When asked if he has made up his mind to accept Jesus as his Saviour. He said he has not as he is scare of making the decision because he has no confidence he will sin no more. I clarified with him that Jesus redemptive grace covered the sin we committed before and after we received Christ. And it is God's design to save us by three fold salvation package. Receiving Jesus as Saviour only granted us the identity of God's children again which was done and in effect immediately which has become the past deliverance. It enables us to be under God's sovereign control for gradual life transformation process through the work of the Holy Spirit which represented the ongoing current deliverance until Jesus come again. Then we will receive a new perfect body then representing the future deliverance. Let's pray for Daniel to full understood this and will find no guilt or shame to receive Christ.

2) A Couple boy and girl friends took the took and allowed me to share the gospel to them. It was a pity the bus came a bit too early before I wrapped up. Pray that God will still have His way to follow up on their salvation.

3) A good old man happily took the tract and proudly declared himself a good person. He gave example of his good deeds is to pick up litter on the ground voluntarily. I challenged him with a lot of imperfect sinful thought but he seemed to have been convinced he is all good as such he does not need any god or religions. The bus also came before I can proceed to guide him to have self awareness on the sin he has committed. Pray that God will follow up this case.

4) Philip a fair dinkum Christian that Johnny approached first. When he found we went to the wrong direction and came back passing me. I walked with him to do the diagnosis to assurance of salvation and shared about the three fold salvation package of God.

5) An Indian girl took the tract while she was on the phone. She did read the tract after the call before the bus came.

6) A senior lady from China surprisingly stopped to have a long tract. She tried to excuse by claiming she has Buddhism as her religion. I nevertheless helped her to understand that all religions are good but could not address the issue of sin and there are no sense of punishment of sin. She was convinced and promise to ponder and decide. 中囯大媽佛教

7) Barack a young man from Congo. He was a bit hesitant to chat as his English level is not good. Nevertheless, I still finished the sharing after we finished walking the bridge.

8) Another Lady from Henan, China also tried to excuse for my approach because she is a Buddhist. But after listening to my sharing, she also admitted the Gospel appeared sensible and logical, then the bus came.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wed Oct 14, 2020 from 1300 to 1500

Praise God that he withheld wind and rain for us to have a dried period of street evangelism ministry at Sunny Bank, despite there was rain all the way when I drove there. We also had Andrew rejoining us today making a team of four including Johnny, Col, Andrew and Hung. God used us to display good team work to supplement each others . It was particularly obvious between Johnny and me. At the end God used us to help out an overseas visiting Chinese lady to find info and the way to have the Covid-19 test enabling her to board the plane departing Oct 5. I actually already shared the gospel to her last week when she was in great worry of losing Wechat for external communication. I gave her words of comfort and directed her to the greater need of salvation. God used someone to help her restored the faulty Wechat account. And led her to meet Johnny then me to help her to find and book Covid-19 testing to enable her to board her flight back to China on Nob 5. During the process, God used me to impressed and reinforced again the imperative need for salvation by every one. I trust she was moved this time by both the message and the action love exhibited by the som many Christians God sent to help her out. Recap below are my others divine appointments today.

1) Madam Pang 彭 was born in China but raised in HKG. Lived in Taiwan then migrated to NZ and finally came her. She noticed my HKG accent so volunteer to speak in Cantonese with me. With the common home town, she was very talkative. I manged to drag our conversation back to Gospel and Salvation. Curiously despite of her mixed Christian 基 and Catholic 天 background, she has 100 % assurance of salvation but for a vague reason including the elements of good works. So it was good that I could guide her to understand her 100% assurance of salvation was built on Jesus and Him alone.有確據但不十分清楚, but it was a bit fishy she declined to take a tract. , 定意不拿單張

2) William and Ifun Two students , one a local Aussie another a Malaysia school boy. Both understood but no move to make decisive action to receive Christ immediately.

3) Johnny talked to a BCAC new Christian by the sure name 蘇 who is yet to be baptized. He referred her to me as she is Cantonese speaking.

4) Another anonymous target took the tract , have a chat but decline to leave any name.不願告名

5) Madam Chai 柴，from Heibei 河北. Story as shared above.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday October 7, 2020 from 1300 - 1500

We started with only two of us Johnny and Hung, but Col and Allen later joined us to become a team of four. As usual, we stationed at the two sides of the pedestrian foot bridge. Some form of team work did exist under the sovereign control of God. For instance, some one got a tract from one side, showed to us on the opposite side aiming to gain a waiver but often time, God used this a a means for us to stop them to explain on the tract that collected.

Today, God let me encounter many Christians who claimed to have 100% of assurance of salvation but upon checking the reason, it was all wrong basing 100% on the good deeds they have done. This is an alarming sign that many Christian Churches have not provided sufficient biblical teaching to their sheep.

As usual, Johnny and I had near non-stop chances of sharing. I registered 10 divine appointments as recap below: -

1) Kline a local Aussie was in a great hurry but he was polite and kind enough to stop for a chat. I hastily shared with him the nutshell of the Gospel. He showed positive and receptive reaction and was moved to take a serious thought on it though he really had to go. I later crossed shoulder with him while I was doing walking preaching with another woman, he anyway gave me a big grin to show his appreciation.

2) I mistook a Korean as Chinese but found out in time to exchange for an English tract. He was really rushing for some personal matter. But it paved the readiness for me to be more sensitive to differentiate race upon my subsequent approach with Korean really turning up.

3) Ms Sze 斯 a very gentle young fair lady from Taiwan 台 in quite formal dressing as if she was up for some businesses function. But she stopped without hesitation to spend more than 20 minutes to listen to my gospel sharing and end up feeling overwhelmingly drawn by the message 很投入 that she has heard many times before. But this time it hit her heart and really made her feel convinced to accept Jesus. Praise the Lord.

4) An old lay Mrs Dong董 from Heibei 河北 China looked very worrisome and even lost her sense momentarily stopped and standing in front of me. I asked if she needed help than she came back to her sense and started chatting with me. When I wanted to share gospel with her then she lamented that she has no mood to

listen as her wechat account was locked up because of forgetting her password as such she cannot communicate with her family in china.心煩 I offered to walk her across the bridge and shared with her that losing wechat accessibility is a bad experience but im comparison to losing our place in eternity suffering in hell would be a more serious issues.步行聆聽. Her mood changed after hearing the good news. The previous Aussie man greeted me with a big smile also amazed her that we can have joy to greet a stranger. So she ended up feeling more relieved and promised to ponder on Jesus's salvation.

5) Then I caught up with two Korean Christian young ladies called Mary and Emily. They disclosed they are Christian as soon as I wanted to share the gospel. Their answered for the first diagnosis question if they have assurance of salvation was 100%, which is spot on. But it was shocking to find out that that 100 % assurance is based on their good deeds. They appeared a bit nervous and wanted to leave with the excuse of hurrying for an appointment. I nevertheless volunteered to walk them for 500 meter to reach the other set of traffic light and tried my best to clarify their mis conception.

6) Rammy , a Taiwan Buddhist lady. She was polite but thought claiming a Buddhist will stop me from talking to her. She was wrong, I had endless inspiration to share with her which eventually convinced her that Christianity is the only way for real salvation and forgiveness of sin. Trying to reach self perfection like what Buddhism uphold is futile and she promised to ponder deeper on what I shared with her.

7) Matt , another local Aussie Christian who again claimed to have 100% of assurance of salvation yet it was all based on inherited identity from Christian family, good service in the church but nothing accredited to the redemptive grace of Jesus. He showed sign of confusion but was humble enough to take in my advice and promise to reflected on his relationship with Jesus Christ.

8) A couples of elderly husband and wife from China Canton walked toward me. The wife walked 10 feet ahead getting passed me and ignored the tract, but her husband took the tract. I shared with him and our conversation got brighten up when we found Cantonese is our common language. With this edge, he showed interest to hear me to share the nutshell of the gospel that I finished just in time before the bus came. 廣東老人夫婦，夫接聽

9) Finally Eason turned up and willing to stop for a long chat. His knowledge of thr Bible and understanding of the doctrine of salvation is good as he is member of the Grace Bible Christian Church. He is clear about salvation by grace through faith in Christ and needed to be perfect through God's divine life transformation work through the Spirit. But his assurance of salvation was tainted by his uncertainty if he is a born again one seemingly judging by the Baptism by the Spirit. I shared with him my orthodox thought and emphasized that speaking in tone is never a condition of salvation. He finally felt enlightened to border no more about the sol called born again by the fire of the Spirit. He displayed a very happy face for the grace of God while taking a selfie with me .

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday Sep 30 1300 - 1500

Hurray , God called a big team to serve at Sunnybank today. We have the Aussie team of three Col, Allen and Gary stationed at the West side of the Pedestrian foot bridge , then the Chinese team of four , namely Johnny Ryan, Bi Yan and Hung stationed at the East side near SunnyPark. God orchestrated good team work between the two team. Many people had been moved to stop and chat with both team when the went across the bridge. Especially for Chinese whose English is not very good. They can get a Chinese version of Gospel to reinforce what they heard for the English team. Normally mainland Chinese will choose to avoid the Chinese team but more receptive to chat with the Aussie team. Once got contacted, then their unwillingness or resistance will be reduced as such many of them were willing to stop for the 2nd time to have a chat with us in Chinese to reinforce their understanding. Pastor Biyan joined us mid way but appeared very enthusiastic and bold in stopping people fo a chat. Pray that she will be moved and called by the Spirit to become a regular team member for Sunnybank. Ryan joined the team several time before. He may join us before he got a job. May God will be done through our good team work at Sunnybank.

Since I had to leave a bit earlier for a medical appointment. I comparatively had less conversations but three quire long one.

1) Alyson Juana are two young high school students of Grade 12 at a Christian school. When approached they showed that they have head knowledge about Jesus and the Bible and claimed that they

are Christians. But they failed the salvation assurance test having only 70% of certainty to go to heaven. When asked while God let them into His heaven, they could answer correctly that it was all because of Jesus. Then I asked them is there any other factor/reason that they can be allow to enter heaven. They answered no. Then I asked if Jesus is the only reason you are granted eternal Life into heaven, how come they are only 70% certain, not 100% sure? Then they both came to understand that they were wrong and should have professed 100% assurance of salvation. The reason they thought they are still not good enough is the lack of understanding that we have yet to grow and be transformed back to perfection by the work of teh Holy Spirit helping us to bear fruit if the Spirit. But in the interim, we will bound to be not perfect and will fail sometime the temptation of Satan. However, as long as we are all bought back by Christ to reconcile with God, God will guarantee to make us perfect through the journey of Sanctification. The two youngsters, thanked me and left with great joy in their heart.

2) Then Yuki from Mainland China past by waiving the tract she collected from Col and Allen in her hand signaling me that she did not need another chat. But I asked the simple diagnosis questions to prove that she is not yet clear enough about the gospel. I offered to walk her across the bridge and cleared up some misunderstanding and made sure she understood how to get 100% assurance of salvation by just accepting Jesus as her saviour and her Lord of life before we parted our way at the Shopping centre.

3) The third one was 韓初 who had been contacted by Allen. Again he is still not so clear about the gospel so I repeated the same thing I just gone through with Yuki and Han promised he will take it very seriously to response to the call for repentant and salvation.

Today both Johnny and Gary had numerous chance to have a chat. Ryan was still on his learning curve while Bi Yan already boldly venture into gospel chat with mainly Chinese people which was readily a very good start.

God is good and almighty in term of execution of His Redemption Project and Kingdom Project through the undeserved vessels like us all.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday Sept 23, 2020 from 1300 to 1500

Today only Johnny and I met to serve at Sunnybank. It was a very warm day as if it was like early Summer already. It was also the beginning of school holiday as such there was no student around. Johnny opined there should be more people coming out but it turned out a comparatively quiet day with half the carpark empty. Despite smaller flow of crowd, we still got many chances to share the Gospel to non-believers as well as Christians who in majority do not have assurance of salvation that deadly need clarification. We also had a lot of chat on theology abd biblical doctrine during the gap of street evangelism.

I recap below a few of my major divine appointments as follows: -

1) A Chinese lady took the tract and was willing to talk but it was too late as the bus was coming. I spent really only 30 seconds to share the nutshell of Gospel to her hoping she will read the tract at home.

2) Rory a local Aussie got past Johnny but I was moved to stop him for a chat which amazingly he changed his mind to stop. He is a strongly built big guy who really looks like a super hero upholding righteousness as such when asked if he knows he can go to heaven by being a good person, he proudly claimed yes as he deemed he has manged to do a lot of good thing. When I corrected his misunderstanding by sharing the gospel, emphasizing that unless he has no sin, he still should need Jesus as his savior to regain the lost heavenly citizenship, he then declared he knows all about this as he is a Christian. Then I realized he actually is only a nominal Christian that feels good about his own goodness instead of the redemptive grace fo Christ. Let's pray for God's intervention to turn him around to really trust in Christ and Christ alone for salvation.

3) A young lady from China Gloria passed by in great hurry, but she still willing took a tract and let me walk her across the foot bridge to listen to the gospel. I timed later that it took me 2 min 40 seconds to cross the bridge but was still good enough for me to compete sharing the nutshell of the Gospel. At the end, Gloria agreed the gospel is logical and sensible and showed willingness to accept Jesus as her saviour.

4) Tom a young man from Thailand who appeared very friendly and willing to listen to the gospel. Yet I only have 1.5 minutes to do so as the bus was coming and was in our sight. In both cases, God only let me have very short time frame but I believed His work and plan for Glory and Tom will be done.

It was a day of grace that I received heavenly rewards by meeting with many ex-Gospel conversation targets who recognized me and showed their appreciation and encouragement.

As usual , we worked as a team with the regular team mates Johnny and Gary. God made us work seamlessly supplementing each other to get those initial rejective people turning to receptive on our 2nd approach by another team mates. We all had almost non-stop opportunities to chat. Recap below was my personal battle log of 12 persons/groups: -

1) A Chinese young girl who claimed to be non religious not willing to enter into a conversation, but God still opened her a bit to let me just touch base on the Gospel before the bus came.

2) After seeing that Girl off, I noticed a lady in mask looked at me with a grin smile. Actually she took initiative to greet me and said we met before. With so many people met every week, I asked if it was last week or last month. She laughingly said it was two years ago in 2018 and prompted me that we had a long chat on matter about mission. Then my vague memory came back that it was Moon Suk a Korean Christian Girl who are curious in mission work and admire our persistence to do street evangelism every week. She said she actually had been watching out during the past two years and noticed we are the rare Asians amongst the local Westerners to preach Gospel to people of all nations on the street competing with the Mormon who are active here. She said she is a member of the Korea Presbyterian Church in Sunnybank. We parted with blessing for each other to continuously serving our Lord as led by Him. (Johnny later told me, Moon Suk declined to take tract and did not stop. So he was a bit curious how come she was willing to talk to me)

3) An elderly man from Sichuan called Luo Tsang. 老曾四川信徒 He was not keen to take tract or chat but when I noticed his accent of Sichuan, and associated with him by my 3.5 year Earth quake relief work from 2008 to 2011, he then opened up to admit he is a Christian. It was a pity there was not enough time for me to diagnosis on his assurance of salvation, which I can only give him the Benefit of the doubt. and pray that he would not remain stagnant on his spiritual growth.

4) Ellen and another HKG girl both were not very keen initially but showed more interest when we found that we are from Hongkong. They have no religious belief. They came here as working holiday and had done hard yard at Bundaberg which gave me another affiliation with them. I shared the gospel to them in brief before the bus arrived. Hope the message and the tract will do the job.

5) David Wu, an ex-GCCCC now a SIC member, also took initiative to greet me. I was at a loss to recall who he is. Finally I came to the knowledge that he was the Kairos graduate at GCCCC in 2015 and had removed up to Brisbane in 2017 to buy up the Physiotherapy clinic from Alice Poon. Pray that his sense of Bottom Line blessing to reach out to people of other nations will be carried out through his work practice at Time Square.

6) Sebastian from Arlee beach near Townsville but moved to Brisbane 7 years ago. He answered my diagnosis question correctly to prove that he is a fair dinkum Christian. I encouraged him to do likewise to share the gospel to more people around.

7) Victoria a mum with two kids who is local Aussie but with Italian and British parents. So she is adaptative to cross cultural relationship building. She is non- religious, but found the gospel sensible and logical to take heed of the salvation offered by Jesus. I encourage her to read the tract and make the decision as guided by the Spirit first so that she can help her two children to get saved as well.

8) A young lady from Canton China who was on a rush to work.鍾廣州來很久沒信仰感謝 She allowed me to walk across the Pedestrian foot bridge with her so as to share the gospel in this short time gap. She thanked me at the end and promised to give a heavy thought of the salvation of Jesus.

9) An Indian boy was happy to listen to the Gospel but was cut short by the arrival of the bus. Pray that he will read the tract and we can meet in future.

10) Teresa a Taiwanese student coming here to study but uses her spare time to do bulk purpose for shipping back to Taiwan. I met here last week. She was first approached by Johnny, but quickly we recognized each other and continued on chatting along. She showed great interest in Gospel and asked me to have her more tracts to hand out to her friend. She bided me good bye and looking forwards to meeting me same time next week.

11) Two Japanese couples took the tract but did not stop to chat

12) A Vietnamese girl I chatted last week or so stopped to greet. Just had a few words to encourage her to keep pursuing for eternal life.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday September 9, 2020 from 1300 to 1500.

Today was a sunny day fine for street evangelism, though there were only the two of us , Johnny and Hung working as a team. It proved well later that God made best use of our team work to stop some initial reluctant passers by to the first approach by Johnny but somehow changed their mind to stop by my 2nd approach. It is time and again the witnesses of how God works miraculously amongst us to reach out and touch people as chosen by God himself. We are always a vessel emptied for the service of God as He deems fit. Both of us had almost non-stop consecutive divine appointment to chat. Johnny comparatively had more longer conversation. I recorded below were the 9 divine appointments of mixed results but still serving the purpose of God beyond our full comprehension: -

1) Nadia a Mexican Catholic young girl coming here for one year English learning but has been detained here because of Covid-19. She initially did not want to stop as she is going to meet someone. But I asked for permission to shared the nutshell of Gospel by walking her across the pedestrian bridge. Finally she was moved to stayed for a much longer time allowing me to first shared the basic gospel message then tackling all doctrinal question resulted from her Catholic background. At the ned, she took a selfie with me as a gesture of her great appreciation for my explanation and clarification to her questions. I was able to identify with her because my father was born in Mexico.

2) Rejected to stop by a Chinese girl but God still moved her to take my tract which she initially rejected to take it from Johnny.

3) Zaire is a Filipino Catholic girl. She only has 90 % assurance of salvation as she deems not yet good enough to go to heaven. This is the common misunderstanding by most of the Catholic Christian. She finally got it right after being asked checking questions.

4) A Muslim man excused he was in a rush but still stopped by my questions to have a brief chat. I quickly touched base on the nutshell of gospel on sin and Jesus salvation. Pray that this will serve well for continuous work of God on his life.

5) An Indian lady took the tract but did not want to chat. I could only let go and trust that the tract will do the work of passing over to her the word of God.

6) Daniel and Victoria a pair of Vietnamese boy and girl friend with a cross ear ring but do not know the meaning of the cross. After clarification and listening the full Gospel, they agreed it is logical that we all need Jesus. I use the triangular relationship of marriage with God as the head that in future when they are married, their marriage would become much closer when they individually get a deepen relationship with God towards complete oneness in Christ.

7) Fiona a nonbeliever from Shandong who again claimed to be in a hurry, but she let me walk with her across the bridge to hear the gospel.

8) Mr Li is an old Singaporean of Cantonese speaking background. He initially responded rudely to Johnny's question if he knew where would he go after death. He felt challenged and offended as such he replied rudely that as a person without any religion, he is OK to go to hell. Somehow, God made him feel bad for his rudeness thus he voluntarily stopped to chat with me instead to explain his position against Christianity. He himself is considered a Buddhism follower which he understands well that Buddhism is not a religion but way of life towards self perfection. I gave enough room for him to speak and express his skeptics against Christianity so that I earn in exchange the chance to share the gospel as well as addressing all his questions against God and Christianity. He eventually had to leave after 15-20 minutes chat with his wife left already for a clinic appointment.

9) A Christian by the name of Christian of PNG/Irish mixed blood thought he knows well about the Bible and was proud of his spirituality having seen many vision from God as such he rejected Johnny outright not bother to stop and share. But some how, God moved me to approach him immediately and somehow he stopped to chat. Our conversation last almost over half and hour. He claimed to have faith in Jesus but when asked if he has full assurance of salvation. He answer 90 % but later, I found out that he actually thought his 90% certainty was basing on his action love deeds. God guided me to turn around his twisted understanding of Jesus redemptive grace by not ridiculing him but showing him the right version of real salvation by grace through faith. I complemented his effort of pursuing for deeper spirituality experience in God, but in the mean time correcting his thought that any Charismatic experience has nothing to do with salvation but only serve to boost his love for God. My empathy with his charismatic background earned me a much longer time to share the gospel as long as I wished. Actually I was the one to close the conversation after all queries were clarified and needed advice (warning) were given. May God continuously guide this man by the name Christian to really become a world Christian.

Operation 513 Battle Log for Sunnybank on Wednesday September 2, 2020 from 1300 -1500

After one month of rest, we have resumed serving on the street here at Sunnybank. Even though the Covic-19 community outbreak has not yet been completely over, general reaction of people is still quite receptive as such there were many divine appointments arranged by God for us to share the Gospel.

The team started with just Johnny and me, but God led Gary to join us soon after we did our opening prayer. Then David Loi also joined us at around 2pm. He partnered with Johnny as a learning curve handing out tract. Gary was very active today having many conversation that I had lost count. Seemingly God is bringing up Gary to become more upfront in approaching people for a chat. I had got 11 opportunities of outreach.

1) Annie a school girl possibly of Korean descendent, just heard the nutshell of gospel before the bus arrived though she appeared very appreciative and receptive.

2) A Cantonese speaking Old woman from China was reluctant to take the tract not to mention for a chat. But our common dialect helped to break the ice and I ended up sharing the full Gospel with her and she promised to read the tract to revise on what I shared with her.

3) May a Filipino Catholic Mum with her son Max. She also was reluctant to chat thinking that she is all right as a Catholic Christian, but God changed her mind to listen to my sharing of the full Gospel and realized her faith was not pure not having yet an absolute faith in Christ alone for genuine salvation. There was not enough time to elaborate so I had to let go to leave God to continue His work.
