HCJB Global's Vision trip to South Africa revealed several deep spiritual truths to me during those two weeks. I had a really clear visible picture of one truth from God’s Word after we went on a jeep safari at Pilanesberg National Park. Some of the symbiotic (interdependent and mutually beneficial) relationships among many African animals are well known. The red-billed oxpeckers feed off the ticks and other parasites on giraffes, rhinos and impalas. The wildebeests always travel with zebras because zebras have superior vision and hearing, and provide an early warning to them when predators are nearby. A definition of mutualism is a beautiful picture of the body of Christ: joining forces to achieve something bigger than a single individual could manage alone. As the Church, we are all diversely gifted and called to various ministries. May we use those gifts for the edification of the church and the glory of God.
