Engaging People Groups; Transforming Communities

The focus of this conference is to train you and your church in a process called ethnography.  Ethnography is a hands-on approach to learning about people.  Through observation, community mapping, and interviewing people living in your community, you will learn about them from their perspective and gain valuable knowledge as well as begin to build relationships with certain individuals.  From the information and relationships you gain by doing ethnography, you will have an accurate picture of what is happening in the community, an understanding of the values, beliefs, concerns, and needs of that area, and the foundation on which to create an effective ministry strategy.
