During April and May the Yonago, Toyohashi and Osaka Central Churches held Healthy Cuisine Seminars. These seminars attracted many people. One third to one half of those who attended a seminar decided to attend the sponsoring church: 7 of 24 attendees in Yonago, 17 of 33 in Toyohashi, and 7 of 30 in Okinawa.

While it may be difficult to use the traditional methods of evangelism, these seminars produce good results. JSDA (Japan SDA Dietitian Association) annually supports the seminars. Tokyo Adventist Hospital dietitian Yuka Akiyama and Kobe Adventist Hospital dietitians Masayuki Chihana and Machiko Tomomitsu presented lectures on the advantages of a vegetarian life style.
