I recently attended the International Association for Mission Studies (IAMS) General Assembly and Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, from July 16-26. During the conference, I presented a paper in the Gender and Mission study group. After the academic sessions ended, I traveled to Skukuza, Kruger National Park, for an afternoon safari tour.
The next morning, we began another safari at 6:30 a.m., entering the same military-style open vehicle we used the previous day. The early morning air was cold and biting, with strong winds swirling around the open vehicle. As we navigated the endless plains on our journey, we marveled at how human construction had managed to cut through such a vast, untamed landscape.
Occasionally, the vehicle would veer onto winding tracks in pursuit of wildlife. We spotted herds of impala, graceful creatures resembling deer, both on the roadside and hidden within thickets. During our safari, we witnessed a poignant moment of survival in the dense forest.
