The Harvest Information System (HIS) is a cooperative venture of organizations that share a desire to facilitate the task of taking the gospel of Jesus Christ to all the people of the world. HIS assists mission sending groups in fulfilling their portion of the task, by improving data sharing through the standardizing of codes and categories for common data sets.
HIS Registries
Active registries within the Harvest Information System include the Registry of Geography (ROG), Registry of Languages (ROL), Registry of People (ROP), Registry of Ministry Resources (RMR), and Registry of Dialects (ROD).
