Battle Log of Operation 513 for Toowong on Tuesday August 16th, 2022 from 1330 – 1500

Praise be to God we had Alfred, Ka Fai Yau from Sydney joining us making a team of four. Alfred is the Asia Mobilizer of the African Inland Mission. He also runs his own Network Mission and want to connect with Brisbane Co-workers to have a glimpse of what we are doing in the cross-cultural evangelism aspects. Therefore, I invited him to come along to have a go. There were overwhelmingly large people flow with a long queue for the bus that presented a mixed situations that was good to have more outreach targets but meantime we would face a larger reject rate as one rejection will cause repercussion effect leading all people around also inclined to follow suit to reject our approach.

We just kept trusting the Lord to dig deep hanging in there and at the end, we still got some very good quality chat towards the end. Recap is the Battle log of Hung:

1) I approached an Aborigine look guys who claimed he is all good showing initial reluctant to listen, but the Spirit gave me additional urge and softened his heart to still listen while waiting in the queue. People around were actually listening, so despite the hard soil all around, gospel still be heard.

2) The Spirit guided me to approach an Indonesia girl who surprisingly showed genuine willingness to listen and thanks for my sharing afterward. Pray that the message coupling with the tract will serve God's Will and Plan for her.

3) After the bus stop was emptied with queue of people boarding the bus, I was led to approach yet another Indonesian lady who was equally humble to welcome my gospel sharing showing positive reaction to the message.

4) I tried personally several Chinese students but all got rejection , but then the Spirit led me to approach yet another one who had just rejected Johnny. But I was moved to give it a go and miraculously he was softened to have a good cat with me. He actually has been targeted by God with many prior approaches by his Christian friends. He asked me back what made us keep doing this task of nuisance and why we think the gospel message are so important. He ended up telling me perhaps it is time he should try to have a serious reading of the Bible that someone had given to him before. This divine encounter and turning point really showed me time and again , the Spirit is at work and I am really the vessel used by God through the Spirit to break open the stone heart of a people being raised up from an atheist country.

5) Then I tried to approach an Indian students who also show me a cold face. He listened reluctantly for a while than rudely walked away.

6) Then I was led to approach a Korean student who was feeling so happy for getting a good deal buying a big pack of croissant at $9. I teased at him for that good deal but suggested to him there are something else that are more important than a reduced-price goods item. He was moved but the bus arrived so he could only take a tract from me.

7) Then I caught up with an Aussie girl who was waiting for a call from her friends, I said I will stop when her friend call. Then I earned 1 minute to share the nutshell of the Gospel and left her a tract.

8 ) Thomas from Whitsunday looks like a young generation Atheist, and showed a bit of annoyance while interrupted by me from his head phone music. But the Spirit worked mightily to draw him to the gospel and he ended up thanking me for the gospel message and showed his appreciation by taking a selfie with me.

9 ) Finally I intercepted Winnie to have a chat with Matt who claimed himself a Salvo Christian . I went straight to test for his assurance of salvation which he failed, but he was humble enough to listen and was pleased to find that he should have 100% assurance of salvation simply because of the redemptive work of Jesus dying for us on the cross.
