In the late 70s and early 80s, age began to catch up to Hartono and he began losing matches. This resulted his depression. He credits a preacher for his "conversion experience" to Christianity during his mid-30s. Later, the death of Svend Pri in 1983 prompted Hartono to preach about Jesus to others. Since 1989, Hartono has been extremely active with his church ministry. In 1998, Hartono had coronary bypass surgery in Australia. In 2001, Hartono became Assoc Pastor of Bethel Church in Jakarta, Indonesia.
