The Ralph D. Winter Research Center was established in 2012 on the campus of William Carey International University in Pasadena, California.  It has two main purposes.  One is to offer historical resources to researchers for their studies and fields of interest.  The other is to promote forward looking thought and strategy among those seeking to learn from the past in order to make informed decisions in present and future missiological practice.
