Ministry in the wild

We had an early start this morning- well-prepared for the visit to Kruger National Park- with the sun rising beautifully, it assured us of a great day ahead. ‘Maybe we will be very lucky and spot all of the ‘Big 5’ animals’ I thought.

We spotted a leopard in the distance but it disappeared very quickly into the bushes. The following animals which we spotted, were in groups and they were not scared like the leopard. They stayed until we finished taking pictures.

I was reminded of the saying ‘united we stand, divided we fall’.

There was also a time we saw birds on top of the animals feeding on the tics (insects) which were causing the animals pain. For me this was ministry in the wild - Love your God with all your heart and love your neighbour as yourself’.

After a very interesting day with the driving skills of our game-ranger ( Andy) we spotted 3 of the big 5 – leopard, rhino and the elephants.
