From August 29 to 30 and September 5 to 6, 2015, there was an evangelism series in relation with Comprehensive Health Ministry in Hong Kong Taipo Church. The main theme of the series was “Better Health, Better Future.” Mr. Andy Tsio, who is a third-year theology student from Hong Kong Adventist College and is coached by Elder Johnny Wong, a founder of Gateway Adventist Center in Australia, was invited as a speaker.

Participants came prior to the meeting to check their physical conditions, such as height, weight, blood pressure, and Body Mass Index (BMI). If they attended more than four meetings, they were given the chance to get a health check that included fasting blood sugar, cholesterol, tri-glyceride, and health counseling. Moreover, Taipo Church provided guests with a breakfast of fruit, soy milk, sandwiches, and cookies.
The evangelism had an altar call each night to offer prayer, and a final decision card was handed out to the attendees on the last day of the meeting.The meeting had more than 70 registered from outside of Adventist churches. Some people showed their interest in vegetarian cooking classes. Some of them expressed a desire to know more about Jesus or to attend a Bible study with Adventist churches. Also, Hong Kong-Macao Conference is planning a health and spiritual retreat at Hong Kong Adventist College in Clearwater Bay for the newcomers.
