Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday Mar 4, 2025 from 1230-1400

Because of the imminent approaching Typhoon Alfred, I set off earlier to do the regular outreach at Toowong as well as hospital visit to Ivano at PA.

Basically, there were many fresh Uni students amongst those was Lisa from Johor of the Western Malaysia. She dressed typically in Muslim woman code, but was still friendly and open enough to let me share her the full gospel.

Another long conversation was with Liam from Perth WA. He comes to study at UQ to accompany his girl friend a Canadian of Palestinian origin. He is non religious but have a free mind set open to discussion of Christianity. At the end, he shares the view that no human is perfect as such we all need to address this imperfection or sinful status in the human nature.

I served my roster duty street outreach at Toowong by myself again today. It is the beginning of the academic year of UQ, so I was given chance to connect with students of all Year from all cultural background including Local Aussie, Italian born Chinese but does not speak Chinese, Indian migrant and a longest conversation with a Catholic Christian of UK descendant.

1) First greeted mysteriously by a friendly local Aussie for a short chat before the bus arrived.

2) Next with an Italian born Chinese from Rome but of non-religious background.

3) Nic an UK and European mixed of Catholic background but gave me a perfect answer on the two diagnostic question about Assurance of Salvation. Building on his perfect understanding of Jesus' redemptive work, we chatted over half an hour about all doctrinal issues.

4) Last but not the least a full gospel sharing with an Indian migrant of Hinduism background. She was skeptical initially but become more convinced and receptive to to the logic and effectiveness of Jesus redemptive grace.

I serve my roster duty street outreach at Toowong by myself again today. It is the Orientation week of UQ, so I was given chance to connect with several fresh first year students from Indonesia, China and India etc. There were mixed responses with both friendly and open chat to reluctant connection or even blunt rejections. That is really part of the training by God to deal with all sort of situation knowing God has played His part in all these divine encounter, if not appointments. Recap below is my Battle Log: -

1) First approached a fresh first year student David from Indonesia. He was the only one did not bury his head in the smart phone texting. He is a Muslim but holds very open mind about other religion especially Christianity which is the 2nd largest in Indonesia. His view about Jesus is comparatively assertive than Muslim of older generation. He showed appreciation for our chat by taking a photo with me.

2) Next was Joelle From UK, who is a 2nd year student. We built rapport quickly because of my UK business involvement and later the post graduate study experience. She also show openness to religious issue and receptiveness towards Gospel as such she also took a selfie with me.

3) Third came a first year fresh student girl from Beijing. She showed uneasiness toward the chat on life issue and reluctance all the more into Gospel. After a brief sharing of the nutshell of the Gospel, she found excuse to join with her friend to end prematurely the conversation.

4) Then my approach to another Indonesian young man was failed he simply walk off from my approach.

5) Yet the next outreach to a fresh first year student from Calcutta of India was quite all right. She appreciate the sharing and took a tract when her bus came.

6) Then there was only one guy left at the bus stop, but he was occupied by his phone conversation. I thus call for the day to go to visit Joe Tam.

It was an extremely hot day. Johnny advised me to start first and he joined me just a little bit later. It was yet another fruitful day that we were led to outreach to many least reached people groups we rarely encounter like Jordan, Egypt, Indonesia. Johnny also got some interesting conversations. Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung.

1) A lady UQ student from USA of Egyptian origin and Muslim faith initially tried to avoid me by standing at a distance from the bus stop. But the scorching sun forced her to come under the shade of the bus stop as such I finally could approach her. It ended up a success to share her the full gospel which seemingly was receptive to her.

2) Next was an Indonesia man but of no religious background. He also appeared open and receptive to the gospel.

3) Then Johnny referred a family of three from Hong Kong to me. They seemed to be receptive to religious issue and admitted they are Christian but eventually found out they are of Mormon faith. They were trained to mislead people to think they accept Jesus as God and our savior but they actually does not accept trinity and regarded Jesus as a saint or at best a lesser god.

4) Next I connect with another Indian but our conversation was aborted as I helped him to find out that he was actually on the wrong direction of the bus route as such he needed to go the bus stop on the other side of the street heading to CBD.

5) Then I approached yet another Indonesian who use excuse of being on a phone call to decline my approach.

6) Next were a pair of Local Aussie girl. I use the Aussie slang fair dinkum to start the conversation but interrupted by the bus arrival.

7) Next I was led to approach a matured man Sophia from Southern Jordan. We connected well despite his English level is too basic that took him lone time to get a message through. But the Christian love was expressed and conveyed to him.

8 ) The last Local Aussie I approached was a very young man but appeared arrogant as such very reluctant to have a chat on religious issues. In stead I use fair dinkum slang to get the conversation going.

You may wonder how come only two pictures were taken? and posted! Yes it is. Because I forgot to bring my only iPhone as such I asked Johnny my forever gospel outreach team mates to take the opening photo after the opening prayer. And the other was a picture he took for me.

in Hind sight, the all knowing God knew that I only needed to two people today, one Indian born man who came to Australia at the age of 4 years old, so his ethnic identity is more local Aussie that Indian. we shared briefly before his bus arrived in 2 minutes. Then next, there were very few people and most of them were Chinese so I let Johnny to chat to them in Mandarin. My chance came at last with Ahmed, a man from Djibouti (east of Ethopia). He claimed himself a Catholic Christian, but with very heavy pro-Muslim and Anti Christ background. So his faith system is very mixed and uncleared. It also explained why he really has spent many times to read the Bible and other religious writing with a view to find an unified sete of faith believe. God actually let us met over 1 years ago here, and he still remember me despite I could not be sure who he was. His understanding of the Bible is very biased often time reading it out of context and without a big pictures. He even accused Jesus also have sin and his example was Jesus explicitly reject to help a Canaan woman in Phoenicia. I explained patiently with him that it was actually a tactic of Jesus to use initial rejection to test and train His disciple if their attitude toward outreaching and relating to gentile for gospel has been firmly changed. In effect, all the disciples failed the test and thought Jesus now was doing the right thing as per the ritual law of Jewish people to keep gentile out of their reach in their life. So Jesus at the end still entertain the request of the Canaan woman to heal her daughter as he had done these many times before to all sort of gentile people.

It ended up like a religious education class for me to answer all the query of Ahmed, which hopefully many have changed the mindset of Ahmed to look at the Bible in a oneness unison manner. If it was not Johnny calling me to leave when time was up, Ahmed and I may go on much longer. His seriousness to seek the truth is adorable though obviously he lacks the real salvation of Jesus so that there is still no indwelling of the Holy Spirit in his heart to guide and enlighten him to understand the Bible correctly.

God is praise worthy to reconnect me with Ahmed for such meaningful apologetic conversation.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Sunnybank on Wednesday January 28, 2025 from 1300-1500

Today is Chinese New Year Eve so, a time stamp to close another chapter of our life on mission with God year in year out. It was still a very hot day of high noon with scorching heat near and around the Toowong Bus Stop. People tended to high behind the covered booth under the shade.

I got to Toowong bus stop a bit later than usual as I have to deliver stuff to the Toowong Baptist Church ready for their meeting tomorrow that I am not available to attend. But when I arrived by myself (all others are not available to day because of the Chinese New Year Eve family reunion affair) the bus stop was empty except with one lady sitting on the bench under the scorching sunshine. It was apparently a divine appointment as my chat with Lawrence an Australian Born Sri Lankan lasted over half an hour which is too unusual. She is a QUT student as such she was taking a bus to go home, not to UQ, that could explain that route may be not a frequent one compare to those heading for UQ. She is non religious but is very open minded, friendly and polite in conducting interactive talk with me. She like majority of the good persons, have not thought of the consequence of being good but imperfect in her human character. The gospel message does present to her an one of a kind rational logic that every human being, as long as we are not perfect, may all need external help to rectify the effect of imperfection or sin. At the end, she graciously ask for a tract and promise to ponder this important issue by herself. I though her had come , but later found out she was still left alone at the bus stop perhaps missing her bus because of our long conversation. I any way, did not want to give her pressure and wanted to leave her alone for personal meditation. So I called off the outreach earlier than usual.

Today the Toowong Gospel Outreach Squad reduced to one person again as all others were not available. Also, there was extreme heat warning making the concrete based bus stop appeared like a furnace of 38C rather than the nominal 31C temperature. Nevertheless, I still served for over an hour by myself with amazing divine encounters as recap below: -

1) Baha from Iraq now doing a PhD was the first I was led to approach despite time left was minimal, he appeared very open and friendly not mind at all for me to share about Jesus. He may plan to stay after his study as such the analogy of Migration needing a "Perfect" clean record of no crime committed in country of origin, even shop lifting or spitting such petty crime, once convicte4d and recorded then the person will no longer be perfect any more in terms of Crime free status as such will be disqualified for migration or overseas study. He was gracious enough to take selfie with me.

2) Then I tried to approach an India woman but she was too scared to allow me to have a chat with her.

3) Next was a Chinese Mainlander girl 大陸女戒備, she appeared nervous and skeptical to be noticed chatting with me. But still tried to relax her down to keep the gospel conversation onwards till her bus came.

4) Next also a Mainlander girl who claimed that I had chatted with before. I tested if she got the meaning of the gospel message which obviously was not fully understood yet. I revised the message for her but it seems that the spiritual bondage of her declared Taoism faith 道教was holding her up to open her spiritual eyes. So despite rationally she understood my logic that every one need Jesus unless you are perfect. 明白但心未開

5) Then I caught up with a Fiji Indian mixed Christian lady. But it seems that she does not fully understand the gospel still thinking good deeds it self is OK.

6) Then I caught up with a local Aussie girl. She thought God will not accept her as she is a gay person. I used fair dinkum to chip in delightful mood and she then turned ok to chat. Yet the bus came and was barely able to share the nutshell of the gospel.

7) Then caught up with a tall guy from Xinjian新疆, China. said he already had a good chat with Rev Ding 丁牧聊過 last week and the memory is still fresh and he kept the tract. So it was good for me to follow up with a revision for him.

It was over joy to have four people turning up today at Toowong, i.e. Johnny, Rev Ding Hwa Jen, Ann Yeo and Hung. We jokingly thanks God for doubling or gospel outreach force from 2 to 4.

It is a privilege to have met Rev Ding and teamed up with Rev Ding to be on mission with God for street gospel outreach at Toowong. him. The powerful work of God on Rev Ding through the divine election of the Holy Spirit was a clear sign of God grace to use him on his first debut of Street Outreach as His great ambassador for the gospel in action.

We can see clearly that despite I might have chatted with that guy of Chinese and Korean mixed blood three times before, I never was able to find this out but just kept sharing gospel with him to an extent, it was initially used as an excuse to decline the 4th approach by Rev Ding to him. But see how subtle was the omniscience God using Rev Ding to have discovered his identity as a Chinese and Korean cross breed like Rev Ding himself, as well as his son, that this guy could not deny it was really God at work to match them up for gospel sharing. I could see God used all this miracle after miracle to move and call Rev Ding to give it a go for engaging in street outreach like God has called Johnny, Edwin and me to do.

Recap below is the Battle Log of Hung:

1) UQ Student Chen from Shanghai, welly connected because of my adventurous travel experience in the early 1973 to Shanghai. The work of the Holy Spirit was obvious to open him up to become more receptive to the gospel message, especially the fact that no one is perfect and we all need a savior to help cleanse our sin for reconciling with God.

2) Next was a Brazilian girl once studied at Griffith but now graduated and earned PR by finding a job here. She is non-religious, but appeared receptive to the Gospel Message.

India tract only

3) Then I connected with a local Aussie but studying Philosophy and is now doing a PhD degree on Hegel, same as the specialty of my 2nd elder Brother. He also appeared very open and receptive and cannot deny a bit of the logic I put forth to prove that no one is perfect and we all need an external agent to help making us perfect in terms of sin free record. Pray that he will submit to the Spirit and lay down his rational mind to accept the faith by grace.

4)Then I was led to connect with another Mainlander from Henan which I use Sanmenxia , one of the Orphanage project in Henan to build rapport with him to explain the issue that being a good person with lot of charity work still will not help a bit for us to earn the admission to Heaven.

5) Then I was lewd to approach an Indian woman, she heard of William Carey, though still not yet a Christian. Time also ran out for me to carry on with the gospel sharing conversation so a tract at the end was given.

6) Last but not the least, I connect with yet another cross bleed lady with parents from Australia and Philippine. She also is not yet a believer and I was just able to share her the nutshell of the gospel.

Battle Log of Operation 513 at Toowong on Tuesday January 7, 2025 from 1230-1400

Today I kicked start the street outreach ministry in 2025 at Toowong in the new ministry time from 1230 to 1400. Both Johnny and Edwin were not available due to their own church ad Hoc ministry need. I just start the outreach in the New Year period ministry as usual. There were less but still reasonable people flow. I first spotted the Sri Lanka man I mistaken as local worker but actually an UQ student doing part time work at Woolly. When I tried to approach him for a follow up chat, it was interfered by a phone call. I tried to stay around for a while but did not beat the arrival of his bus. I anyway saw it as a lead for follow up approach on him in our next divine encounter. Recap below were some other chats I got:

First I was led to approach a middle aged man from Ethiopia which according to him is now a half half Christian and Muslim country. He however was not religious, but still open enough for a chat though again the time left was short. I still managed to share the nutshell of the Gospel and he was forced to wave me good bye when his bus arrived.

Next, I had a long chat with a young man from Yang Zhiu揚州, Jiangsu. He was intrigued to realize I had an adventurous visit to Jiang Jie Provinces dated back to 1973/74. He admitted even it was before the birth of his father. He appeared very polite and open for a chat even on religious issue with genuine interest. I almost finished the full gospel which he found rational and logical that as an imperfect human being, we all need external help from a perfect person. When his bus arrive, he asked politely to end the conversation or else his next bus will be 8 minutes later. So, I could not but let go and pray for future possible reunion for follow up chat.

Then, I reconnected with a guy who claimed to have a chat with one of us and most probably a lady. He showed a bit of reluctant to chat again, bit finally he let up and let me revise most of the gospel message calling for our repentant heart to accept Jesus as our Saviour to cleanse up our sin once and for all in order that we can be gifted with a renewed status of heavenly citizen. Pray that this reminder will serve the purpose of God on his life.
