Battle Log of Operation 513 for Sunnybank on Wednesday July 6th, 2022 from 1300 – 1500

Praise be to God that the weather dramatically turned fine with sun coming up over the morning overcast cloudy weather. I also thank God that my fitness and spirit remained high after this morning BCG Chemo procedure. Again, because of school holiday break, both Gary and Amy were not available so just Johnny and Hung teamed up as usual at the Sunnybank Plaza side Bus stop. Though unavoidably there were still a few rejections, but the warm and sunny afternoon weather light up the heart of most people to be willing to engage in a sort of chat with mixed results. Above all, even no one responded, the messenger would still be blessed for doing the bottom-line blessing kind of Gospel outreach. Recap below is the battle log of Hung: -

1 ) Will, a Muslim young African man, realized we are all sinners. But the Muslim view of sin is greatly different from Christianity. They classify sin into the category of Intentional, a bigger sin, and unintentional, a lesser sin. By repentance not doing it again will lessen the degree of sin and finally Muslim ask God, their Allah for forgiveness. I asked him how does Allah forgive our sin on what basis. Is there punishment or consequence of sin. Then Will could not answer as such seeing the difference between the issue of sin and how it is addressed. Bus came and Time up, but Will was so appreciative for the chat as such taking a selfie with me.

2 ) Jason a Singaporean of Buddhism background. He kept stressing that he is a Buddhist follower as such he does not need to hear the gospel. Despite of initial rejection, God still softened his heart to let our conversation going on. I made him realize Buddhism is actually not a religion as it does not have a God head. Then he started to follow me as well as the gospel which he finally took a tract to ponder more.

3 ) Taiwanese origin Filipino showed initial avoidance but was fully convinced later asking for a tract when the bus came.

4 ) A Chinese lady took a tract and reluctantly listened to the gospel without much facial expression till the bus came.

5 ) A local Aussie girl refused to talk about God but I still got a chat with her to guide her ponder about judgment after death. I divert to the issue of the Independent Spirit of most Australian that is the seed bed of atheism or anti- institutionalism. Through this mutual identification, her heart was softened to take in the gospel message and left with a tract.

6 ) It was likely a catholic Christian From Filipino saying god bless me at the end of our hasty sharing of the core gospel message.

7 ) An elderly appeared to be dumb, or a disguised to not talking still took in some gospel message that I still endeavour to proclaim it to him.

8 ) Sister Li李大姊，her time of transit between two bus was too quick to allow a to the point conversation. Johnny suggested me to find another chance to chat with her to test if she has really received Christ. 還未測試到是否已信主

9 ) Three very arrogant Chinese ladies pretended not Chinese speaking, but their lousy English betrayed them. So just had to let go for those who are determined to despise the gospel.

10 ) Juno, a mixed Samoa father and Afghanistan mother who knows the gospel very well though still a non -believer. I nevertheless still went through the full gospel with him and I have the gut feeling that he was a step closer to Jesus' redemptive grace.

11 ) I approached a Local Aussie girl and a tom boy Chinese lady. The Aussie girl was open to the gospel but the Chinese girl a bit reluctant. But only the nutshell was shared but they took both the Chinese and English tracts.

12 ) I approached two Chinese UQ students from Fuzhou. One is open and welcoming another try to avoid by getting her friend to leave doing shopping.

13 ) Then I caught up with Madam Zheng from Taiwan. 張台灣, we chatted a while on common history of Taiwan and Hong Kong 聊港台的事 which closely bound us together. I anyhow had no time yet to touch on the Gospel. Madam Zheng bet to meet with me again next week.

14 ) Johnny referred Mr Yan甄 who is from Quang Zhou and once worked in South Africa for three years.南非民工 During that time，Chinses pastor did approach him so he admitted he heard of the gospel before.有聴過福音廣東人. Pray for God continuous guidance and show off His Mission Power.
