Abstract
[My first encounter with Professor Jonathan J. Bonk, the Honoree, happened at my very first meeting as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Dictionary of African Christian Biography (DACB). The meeting took place in Karen, Kenya during the first week of December 2016. I then met him again when the DACB held its meeting in October 2017. In my interactions with him, Bonk has been a model of industry and humility, someone with a love for nature and—especially in view of what I will discuss later in this essay—someone with a zeal to reach out, especially to those on the margins of our communities. He is indeed a missionary, with a missionary’s heart.]
