This week, ASTR's Dr. David Trim and Encyclopedia of Seventh-day Adventists editor Dr. Dragoslava Santrac discuss the story of Clinton Achenbach (1875-1961), an American missionary who served during the early phases of Adventist work throughout several Latin American countries.
Learn how Achenbach's medical missionary efforts impacted countries like Peru, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela, and how his work led regions opposed to Adventism to eventually welcome the Church's altruistic efforts.
Also, learn what took place This Week in Adventist History, as this week's episode highlights Adventist healthcare from the Adventist Yearbook.
The Office of Archives, Statistics, and Research (ASTR) is a department of the Seventh-day Adventist Church that brings together the Church's past and present to inspire the future.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been an established denomination since 1863. It is a global Christian family with over 21 million members who hold the Bible as the ultimate authority. We are believers who promise to help people understand the Bible to find freedom, healing, and hope in Jesus.
