right now i am participating in my own ethnographic project.
ok… so really, i am not an anthropologist, nor am i an academic researcher, nor am i someone who is truly engaging in ethnography. but what i am doing here is participating in an experiment, at least for me. you see, i am living in a ministry house on the west side of Modesto, CA.
West Modesto is a socio-economically challenged area of Modesto. the majority of the residents on this side of town earn below the poverty level or receive government assistance, and have been doing so for generations. drugs, prostitution and gangs are just some of the issues that faces the neighborhood.
not only am i choosing to be where i feel that God has called me to be, but i am also doing my best to follow hard after God. not only has this been a place for me to experience new things and learn new things in the realm of ministry, but i am also learning how to live in purposeful community.
Hey I like your blog. Just skimmed through a bunch of posts. I like the Don Miller post quite a bit. Thanks for doing what you do and living where you live. If you are coming to nywc this year make sure to say hi.
Hi Abby… my name is Jeff Zaugg and I’m trying to track you down for the NYWC volunteer role… Will you still be joining us? I might have your wrong email adress??
