Superbook: Healing the broken, orphan hearts of men
| 5 L ast year we were extremely privileged to screen Superbook’s The First Christmas at the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town, during the first week of the school holidays. Without going into too much detail, the Waterfront is one of South Africa’s top tourist destinations and is loved by internationals and locals alike. Thousands of people visit the Waterfront each and every day. To say we were blown away by the event is an understatement. I was pretty involved with the marketing materials and communications for the event, and on the day I helped out wherever I could. But mostly, I was able to take in everything going on around me and sit in awe as I watched

Superbook touching the lives of non-believers, those of different beliefs and Christians. It was truly incredible. After the third and final day, during my prayer time, I got complete clarity and peace on the ripple effects this event is going to have. The surety that God was going to use this to touch the lives of men in South Africa – particularly the broken, orphan hearts of men – and soften their hearts. Their inner child will be healed and as a result, they’ll feel the conviction to raise up good, strong men. Imagine all of the gangsters, juvenile criminals, fatherless men; brought to restoration and laying their crosses at the feet of Jesus. That’s our
portion and God wants our nation to have that! “On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity. 2 “On that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more,” declares the LORD Almighty. “I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land. 3 And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, ‘You must die, because you have told lies in the LORD’s name.’ Then their Wown parents will stab the one who prophesies. 4 “On that day every prophet will be ashamed of their prophetic vision. They will not put on a prophet’s garment of hair in order to deceive. 5 Each will say, ‘I am not a prophet. I am a farmer; the land has been my livelihood since my youth. [a]’ 6 If someone asks, ‘What are these wounds on your body[b]?’ they will answer, ‘The wounds I was given at the house of my friends.’ Zechariah 13:1-6 Join our team in prayer as we pray for the restoration of hearts in our nation. That families will be made whole and healthy individuals will be raised in our communities. I’m so excited to see where Superbook goes and whose hearts it’s going to impact! - Robyn Tichauer
