The Office of Archives, Statistics, and Research (ASTR) is part of the General Conference Secretariat. In this episode, you will be excited to learn how official records, church statistics, and research help us understand the past, present, and future of missions.

Our guest, David Trim, ASTR director, will also present his new book, A Living Sacrifice, in which he shares stories about ordinary men and women who dedicated their lives to sharing Jesus with those who had never heard of him.
