ABSTRACT A STRATEGY TO EVANGELIZE THE MEMBERS OF SIU SAI WAN SOCIAL CENTER FOR THE ELDERLY IN HONG KONG by Linda Muoi Tsui Adviser: S. Joseph Kidder ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Theological Seminary Title: A STRATEGY TO EVANGELIZE THE MEMBERS OF SIU SAI WAN SOCIAL CENTER FOR THE ELDERLY IN HONG KONG Name of researcher: Linda Muoi Tsui Name and degree of adviser: S. Joseph Kidder, D.Min. Date completed: April 2011 Problem The number of senior citizens in Hong Kong is increasing. By 2036, approximately one-fourth of the population of Hong Kong will fall into the elderly category, representing a challenge to the government as well as to the church. However, there is a scarcity of research done on elderly evangelism and an accompanying dearth of literature on the topic, therefore there is a need for a research study on how to evangelize the elderly, to make a significant contribution to an increasingly important ministry of the church. Method A “Four-stage Elderly Evangelism Model” was developed and implemented to reach the members of Siu Sai Wan Social Center for the Elderly of Hong Kong-Macao Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. It consisted of four biblical principles: (1) visitation evangelism, (2) friendship evangelism, (3) culturally-relevant competent programs, and (4) dynamic worship. The model was divided into two parts, the “going” and “coming” parts. The “going” part in which members go out and reach the people included visitation evangelism and friendship evangelism. The “coming” part, meaning that the church encourages the people to come to them, was based on providing competent programs and worship events to attract the people to join the members. The model was implemented and tested to measure its effectiveness. Results The survey of the model showed an overall mean of 4.18 (on a scale of one to five), this represents a gain of 26.94%. The respective gain of each principle is: (1) 39.2% in visitation evangelism, (2) 18.88% in friendship evangelism, (3) 29.79% in culturally- relevant competent programs, and (4) 28.78% in dynamic worship. On the other hand, the elderly baptismal figures showed a significant gain of 79.31%. It indicated the model was working and successfully implemented. Conclusions All four aspects of the Elderly Evangelism Model proved to be valid and workable. This model will be a valuable tool on how to evangelize elderly Chinese. Elderly Chinese generally have inherited the largest portion of traditional Chinese culture. This model may also fit to evangelize other age groups when the programs and worships are designed to be culturally-relevant and seeker sensitive.

Joseph Kidder Dean of Theological Seminary Denis Fortin -x3ri Apr// Cheryl Doss Date approved Dedicated to my dearest parents who taught me how to be “respectful,” “loving,” and “caring” for others. As it turned out, these three words formed the key concepts in this elderly evangelism project. My father was a teacher throughout my whole life, my mother was my role model of love, and together they prayed that I would enter into the ministry. Without them, I would not be as successful! m TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................. viii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS.................................................................................. ix ACKNOWLEDGMENTS........................................................................................ x Chapter I.

  • The Educator's Guide
    Resources A Guide for Secondary School Educators The Educator’s Guide Created in conjunction with the exhibition, SINGAPO人: Discovering Chinese Singaporean Culture Discovering Chinese Singaporean Culture This exhibition examines how the Chinese community in Singapore developed its own distinctive culture. Here, visitors discover and rediscover what it means to be a Chinese Singaporean. The aim is to develop a stronger sense of the Chinese Singaporean identity amongst youths. This will help foster a greater sense of belonging while giving them an understanding of how we are similar to or different from other Chinese communities. This exhibition presents Chinese Singaporean culture through daily life in Singapore – through the things we see, hear, do and eat every day. Therefore, the experience is highly interactive where visitors can touch various stations, play games, listen to stories and have a dialogue with the gallery. Through this exhibition, we will explore ideas of: Chinese heritage Cultural interactions Public policies The exhibition content extends classroom learning and teaching, by complementing History, Social Studies and Character & Citizenship Education subjects taught in secondary schools. It is also self-guided, where students can learn and explore independently. One of the main interactive features of the exhibition is the use of wristband tags. Students can tap their wristband tags to answer questions scattered throughout the space, trigger videos and play games. At the end of the visit, students can print out their own personalised report card which summarises their exhibition journey along with prompts for further cultural exploration beyond the exhibition. This report card serves as a starting point for them to reflect about their identity in relation to everyday life.

  • Free Market, and Confucian Filial Piety: Ageing Policy, Welfare Governance and Aged Care in Hong Kong
    FREE MARKET, AND CONFUCIAN FILIAL PIETY: AGEING POLICY, WELFARE GOVERNANCE AND AGED CARE IN HONG KONG by Wai Lim Wong A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social Sciences and International Studies University of New South Wales 2012 Abstract This thesis aims to explain the shaping of the aged care policy in Hong Kong from 1948 to 2007. The British Colonial government borrowed the concept of community care from the United Kingdom in 1973 and ageing-in-place in 1994 to support the development of its ageing policy. Prior to 1973 provision was mainly family and society-based. Between 1997 and 2007, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government continued to support policies associated with the colonial government but also emphasised the centrality of family support drawing on Confucian filial piety. The problem under investigation is the contradiction implicit in Hong Kong’s social care policy for older people. The focus on Confucian filial piety and reliance on family care means that there is little provision of care in the community by the government. This thesis argues that the aged care policy in Hong Kong is more than a policy about material provision and that it engages with Hong Kong Chinese cultural identity and promotes a narrative that normalizes family care as a duty and responsibility. The shortage of home places, together with government subsidies for some of the residents and providers, has greatly encouraged the development of private aged-care. The quality of this sector is very varied. This thesis employs a three-stage analysis - which covers policy papers, the process of policymaking and the process of implementation.
