Welcome to our special Christmas issue of Arise!
I’ve been wondering… what will this 2020 Christmas season be like in a world very much still reeling from the upheaval and accelerated change caused by Covid-19? Will we be more worship-filled, more in awe of the virgin birth of our promised Messiah? Will we be more thankful for God’s mind-blowing rescue plan which became visible for the first time in Mary’s quivering teenage arms all those years ago? And will those around us who have not yet properly met Him be more likely to take notice of the Saviour King, Immanuel, God with us this year? I think so! I pray so.
question marks over our future right now. We can be stressed about the changes and losses that have been forced upon us over the past few months. We can also legitimately frown upon all the trappings, excesses and distractions of the commercialised Christmas chaos which unfortunately seems to still be alive and well post-Covid. But… will we intentionally choose to honour, proclaim and demonstrate that beautiful and pivotal event around which Christmas is built – in our lives, in our homes and in our communities?
We can all (very understandably) feel anxious about the numerous

down this Christmas! God deliberately entered the world in a time similarly filled with upheaval, corrupt leadership and hostility. He came to bring new hope and new life to those who were brave enough to have faith in Him, as He does to us in South Africa today. Back then, many of the good, religious people were so busy looking fearfully at their difficult context that they failed to see or understand the most significant event in History unfolding in their very own land. What are you choosing to focus on, listen to and believe this Christmas? What is God trying to show you this year, or asking you to show others? What an incredible opportunity Christmas gives us to speak and show life, grace and hope in this world! I imagine that Christmas 2020 will provoke more thoughtfulness than usual, and, sadly, more heartache than usual as people mourn the passing away of dreams - and of loved ones. By beholding Him, by illuminating and celebrating the wonder and meaning of Christ’s birth, we can be a bright star of hope to those around us who find themselves searching the empty skies (and busy malls) for meaning. Our CBN SA Team, my family and I, pray that you and all
those close to you experience a very meaningful Christmas period. May the peace and joy of Immanuel, God with us fill your heart and thoughts for every day left of this strange, significant year in history. Ian Walton | Regional Director
A Christmas Challenge! Christmas time gives us an amazing opportunity to lovingly but boldly point people towards Jesus, our Saviour. We know that without His birth, none of us would have access to our Father!
With this issue of Arise we’ve designed and printed 3 Gospel Christmas Cards for you to share the redemptive blessing of the Christmas message with your friends, neighbours or family. Write your own special words inside and let’s pray expectantly for the Lord to do His work in their hearts… PS Please let us know if you have any testimonies that result from taking up this challenge! 04
Gifts of Hope - Superbook visits Victoria Hospital! It has been a dream of our Superbook team to minister to children in hospital. We see this as an opportunity to reach out and put the gospel in the hands of vulnerable children who find themselves in a situation where they must contend with life altering sickness at a tender age. A few months ago we received a generous donation of toys and teddy bears. The moment we saw these we thought of creating a Superbook goodie bag. We contacted the nearest children’s hospital ward - Victoria Hospital.
They were more than happy to receive the packs and get a visit from the Superbook team! We know that opportunities such as this one are bursting with miracles and hope. We view children as our partners in mission in the extension of God’s Kingdom and preparing the world for the coming King. We believe that this is one way we get to play our part in building and anchoring children’s faith formation.
The Gift of Christ’s Coming Written Centuries before Christ was born, the prophet Isaiah foretold much about Him. At Christmas, we often read his amazing prophecy about the virgin who would conceive and bear a Son. Isaiah 11:2 prophesies that the Spirit of God would rest upon the coming Messiah - giving us a wonderful picture of Jesus: “The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.” It’s incredible to think that the Spirit who rests upon Jesus is given to everyone who follows Him! As God promised Joel 2:28, “I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.” His Holy Spirit abides in us, as declared in Hebrews, For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’” We may go through periods when we have great faith and a strong sense of anointing, then seem to dry up. Yet God hasn’t left us; we’ve allowed ourselves to become parched and dry. What’s the remedy? Isaiah 12:23 tells us: “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be

afraid; For YAH, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.” Therefore with joy you will draw water fromt he wells of salvation. This is the prophetic backdrop of Jesus at the Water Festival. Every year, people would draw water from the pool of Siloam, bring it to the Temple Mount, pour it out at the altar, and say, “Let us draw water from the wells of salvation.” John 7:37-39 records how Jesus cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing int Him would receive.” The whole reason we celebrate Christmas is that God has become our salvation. You can trust Him. If you’re discouraged or overwhelmed, He says, “Come and drink.” And as you spend time with Him at the well, you will receive your strength, your song, your salvation, and the answer to every human need. Merry Christmas! 06
Created for Connection Written

R o b y n Ti c h a u e r
Most mornings I sit and stare out of my window with my cat, Nemo; we enjoy the view and the quiet time before the day starts. He’s permanently at my side and loves having little chirping chats with me. It’s one of the sweetest things! Hearing his little tweets (Maine Coons are known for their bird-like chirps) and feeling his constant warmth and companionship make my heart so happy. A down day is a little less down with him. It’s a similar warmth I feel when I’m having coffee and chatting with some of my closest friends, when I spend some quality time with my fiancé, or I go to my parents for a family dinner. These bonding experiences leave me with a deep, enriched feeling. During lockdown I truly missed those deeper experiences with my closest people. Sure, I had Nemo and I really appreciated the fact that I had a feline companion when I couldn’t have human companionship. But it’s not the same and I really craved human face-to-face interaction.
07
Connecting with God I’ve recently realised that I’ve become a lot more extroverted than when I was younger. I still don’t like crowds and groups, but I thrive off keeping busy with a few close friends. With my primary love languages being physical touch and quality time, connecting with people helps me in my connection and relationship with God. Let me explain. Those moments where you truly feel God’s presence surrounding you are absolutely life changing. It enriches like nothing else can. It fills you with peace, joy, strength, confidence and love.
It propels you forwards and fills you up. It’s incredible. I love it. I love my quiet mornings of staring out my window, Nemo at my side, and I feel the gentle presence of our Father. But when I become too disconnected from human companionship, I feel the disconnection from God too. The more I get to know about God’s character, the more I’ve seen glimpses of Him in His children – all of us. Moments with people remind me of God’s goodness and His love. The love I experience from my family, friends and fiancé is all possible because of the love of our Father. The tangible love from these encounters makes the moments with God seem more tangible. And I believe this is how God wonderfully created us – to thrive within connection and community.
moment staring out the window with Nemo, the car drives with Him, the glimpses of Him in His people and the revelations through His word. I’m truly thankful that God created us with the innate need to fellowship. It teaches us more about Him, it fills us with love and it keeps us connected with Him. My challenge to you is to make the most of all the intimate moments with loved ones, seek out people who you haven’t heard from in a while and pray with and for those who may be lonely during this season. May your last chapter of 2020 be full of happy connection moments and filled with the loving presence of God!
Connecting Intentionally As we reach the end of 2020, looking back at all that has happened, I know two things with absolute certainty – I’m going to cherish the moments with my loved ones as we celebrate Christmas and being on holiday together, and I’m going to fervently seek and revel in the moments that I feel God’s tangible presence. Each quiet 08
Community Matters Written My current phase of life has further increased my certainty in the importance of belonging to a community that follows Jesus and His teaching. I am in a phase of life where I need mental and spiritual support. It’s easy to become segmented during this busy season of looking after young kids because of the many things going on. But segmentation comes with pride, thinking we can do things on our own, an inability to learn from others and a lot of anxiety as you try to carry the load alone. It’s true when they say that ‘no man is an Island.’ We were never meant to do life alone, no matter the season we are in. There are days when I feel overwhelmed, overburdened and in need of a ‘break.’ In these moments I am so grateful that I have people to call and tell them how I’m feeling.” People who can build me up and encourage me, people who will embrace me in my joy and in my sorrows. In good times and in bad, we pray for each other and we acknowledge our need for one another. 09

What community does is it allows you to bring all the dark moments into the light. If we stay in darkness, we can be left feeling alone and overburdened. It’s no wonder there are so many people suffering with depression. It’s because a lot of people have nobody to talk to; nobody to listen to them. This leaves them vulnerable to the voice of the enemy. And they end up believing the lies of the enemy. God doesn’t want us to be alone. The Bible says that God spoke to Adam in the cool of the day. God was in a habit of visiting Adam and Eve. They were in community. They would talk and enjoy the relationship of community with each other. God the Father, Jesus the Son & The Holy Spirit are a community. If God and His creation were established on community, then why do we think we should live alone? Why would we ever think we can thrive alone? That was never God’s intention for us. In Ecclesiastes 4 we are reminded that “Two are better than one… Pity anyone who
falls and has no one to help them up.” If just one person can be a source of strength, how much more strength can a larger community offer? In a book written by Francine Rivers, she describes how in Northern California there is a grove of Redwood trees that remind her of her church community. She reflects, “Though the trees tower hundreds of feet overhead, and some of these trees are so big you can link hands with ten people and still not encircle the base, these giants have a shallow root structure. But because the redwoods grow close together, the roots are interwoven, adding strength so that when the winds come and the rains pound and soak the soil, these trees stand and continue to grow – some for a thousand years.” Isn’t that a perfect description of community? We stand together through the seasons, keeping each other accountable,
encouraged and loved through every single season. Community is GOD! You cannot separate the two. We are called to be in community and even more so to invite others into community! I thank God for my community that comprises of family members, friends, my local church and CBN. I am thankful that when I feel shaken by the challenges in my life, I can rely on the other believers who are supporting me, when I stumble I am corrected and when I need encouragement I have people to point me back to Christ and embrace me in love. I can be that for others, and oh man, that makes God so happy because that’s what He created us for - community! He connects us together in love. Thank you Jesus for the gift of community!

A Look at the Early Church Written
We have come a long way since Jesus ascended into heaven. The Message entrusted to those few disciples has now been carried throughout most of the world by the power of the Holy Spirit. Even now new people in many nations hear and encounter the power of the Gospel of Christ every single day. We have many big churches, Christian universities, seminaries, and numerous ministries carrying out works throughout the world and we thank God for that, but what did it look like for the early church? In order to get a snapshot of this we will look at some verses in Acts 2:42-47. The first line says that they devoted themselves 11
by
Nic Barker
to the apostles teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. What a beautiful verse. If I had to take any single verse as a summary of what church should look like, I think this would be it. Here we see that the early church devoted themselves to the Word and to the apostle’s teachings. This was not only hearing and discussing the teachings but applying the teachings and living it out on a daily basis. This verse tells us that they also met together daily, not just once or twice a week, but every day. Together they broke bread - an indication of sharing, acceptance, and love, symbolic of a family sharing a meal, and also in remembrance of Christ. And they prayed together.
The second verse tells us that everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. Miracles were common place for the early church, just like miracles were common place for Jesus. We read about lame men healed, demons cast out, lepers cleansed and that the sick were laid on the streets just so that Peter’s shadow could fall on them. We read that all of them were healed. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever; and miracles, signs and wonders are for today too. As a result, the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. They saw people coming to faith and repentance on a daily basis. Every day people were being saved, every day people were being healed, and every day people were coming to faith and being baptized. This was normal for the church of that time. While this was all happening, we read again that all the believers were together (fellowshipping daily) and that they had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. What a powerful expression of love and care, to sell possessions
and property to assist a fellow brother or sister in Christ. In the following chapters we read that as a result of such love, there were literally no needy persons among them. Here we see the outworking of Jesus’ teaching to not store up treasure on earth, where things get stolen, lost, or destroyed, but rather to store up treasure in heaven. Finally, in Acts 4:33, we see that with great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Evangelism. They could not help speaking and sharing about Jesus. Wherever they went they testified about the Gospel of Christ resurrected. Sometimes it resulted in them being thrown into jail, and at other times it resulted in them being persecuted, but they never stopped proclaiming the message. What a beautiful picture of the church at that time. Simple yet powerful. They cared for each other’s needs. Lived and practiced the word. Met together for fellowship and teaching on a daily basis. Experienced signs, wonders and miracles. New believers were added to their number every single day. And the testimony of Jesus was proclaimed with boldness. What more do we need? 12
It Takes a Village Writ ten
On the 12th of January 2020, my two daughters (now 1 and 3 years) had their baby blessing ceremony. This was a significant moment for me as this was something I had been wanting to do for a long time. I know in some Christian circles baby dedications and blessings are not mandatory or a big deal. But for me it was because I know that it takes a village to raise a child. It’s my desire for my children to know that they are a part of this big, amazing village with a rich heritage in Christ. Community shapes and forms who we are. As a colleague wisely puts it, we become who we associate with. Like all good mothers I want my children 13
by
Yo l a n d a M a g i d a
to be raised within a church community where their spiritual growth and development will be nurtured and prioritised. No parent should ever do this alone. The task is too big and too important! My pastor asked me why I felt the need to do a baby dedication for my daughters. My answer was simple and as follows: I want my children to be fully planted in a community where their identity in Christ would be solidified and their spiritual gifts be nurtured and sharpened for the edification of the church body as originally planned by God. I have come to know God’s love,
grace and compassion through a community of believers in as much as I have been disappointed and hurt by them. Despite all of this, I wouldn’t be where I am today if it was not for the special people that God brought into my life for my growth and my development. I have also come to learn and know that a community becomes what you make of it. Hence, I want my children to see themselves as contributors and participators in the building of the church community. I feel blessed that I get to walk the talk (building the community) through the work that I do with Superbook. We as a team are passionate about serving the church community as a whole, through training and empowering children’s ministry leaders in advocating for the prioritisation of children’s spiritual development. This year was
successful despite barriers. We hosted two successful webinars that we conducted in partnership with New Gate Ministry, an organisation based in Swaziland that focuses on equipping churches with administration. We are launching #SuperbookPlay in a couple of months, an arts and crafts programme targeted at parents of toddlers who want to share the gospel in a fun and interactive way. We have been working hard on building community through social media since Covid-19 and we’ve been delighted to see how God’s working online. Superbook Clubs will be re-opening soon with the lockdown ease. Raising the next Kingdom generation is indeed going to take a village. This village is going to take all shapes, forms and sizes with the intention of glorifying God. We are so glad that you are part of that village!

The Power of Community: The Botshabelo Family Written We met the Botshabelo family in July. They were referred to us by a community member who is associated with Love Botswana by virtue of being a member of one of the support groups for parents. Love Botswana’s OVC department runs support groups for parents and guardians in the community, where they share their experiences and get training and capacity building from Love Botswana. The Botshabelo family has been going through a series of challenges and was at a point where they were in dire need of external support. The mother, who is the head of the family, lost her husband earlier this year, and was banished by her inlaws together with her children. They found a piece of land and decided to occupy it illegally because they had nowhere else to go. They received a caravan as a donation from their new neighbours to use as shelter. 15

Leonie Nortje
Later, their caravan burnt down and they lost their shelter along with everything that was in it: their food, clothes and furniture. WoMen Against Rape jumped to assist them by providing accommodation for the family at their shelter for women and children. After the lockdown in May they were released from WoMen Against Rape Shelter. Life was very difficult after that because they had to start from scratch and they did not have any resources. Through Orphan’s Promise, our staff members were able to assist the family with a grocery package which they will receive for the next three months while they get back up on their feet. Our Social Work aides managed to start counselling with the family, to provide the psychosocial support that they need to regain their economic, psychological and emotional independence. At this point the family has
already started working on constructing a mud house which will be better than the reed house they are currently living in. The family seems to be regaining strength and hope because someone is holding their hand and offering both material and psychosocial support. The family is not going hungry anymore. We hope to journey with the family for some time and report on the long-term impact on their lives. We hope to impact this
family positively – the mother, her daughter, and her six grandchildren. We thank God for our partners who support our initiatives to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the community.

4 Ways Minimalism Reshaped My Christian Faith Written Recently my very pregnant wife and I moved houses. The move was two-fold, with our first child on the way we needed to look for a better suited house to bring this gift into the world. We were living on a shared property, with paper thin walls, and it wasn’t going to work. My parents were also in need of a place to stay, so we ended up moving out and moving my parents into the spot we were staying in. So, we packed all our stuff into a garage and moved into a small garden flat that friends graciously offered to us while we transition. The flat is a small – it’s nothing special. It came with the essentials - a bed, fridge, plates, cups, knives and forks, one or two pots and a pan. Initially we had to switch gears from what was by no means an abundance of stuff, to a much more minimalistic living space. I realised that this is more than most of our fellow countrymen have. It has proven to be life changing. Here are 4 ways living with less has shaped my Christian faith. It has made me redefine treasure. “Wherever your treasure is there 17
by
Jarryd Doyle
your heart will also be” (Matthew 6:21). Recently this verse has taken on new meaning to me. I thought I had it figured out, but boy, was I wrong. By no means did nor do I think I will ever have it fully figured out. I would never have called the stuff we had “never ending piles” or “treasures,” but there has been a subtle accumulation of stuff that just seems to happen. Recently I asked myself, what was I forgetting about by putting my time into the subtle accumulation of stuff. And by stuff I mean those pots that sit in the back of the cupboard that NEVER seem to get used, or that shirt that was worn once, or that pair of shoes you got for a special occasion and never wear. All that stuff took time, it took your time. What could that time have been focused on? That was good, lovely, and Kingdom expanding? I challenge myself with this every day. “Life is not measured by what you own” (Luke 12:15). It has shown me we need to trust in God’s provision more. As we went through our home
to declutter items we had held onto for years, I began to investigate what it was that was motivating us to keep so many of these “just in case” items? From an old sauté pan to mounds of unused linens and clothes. We were holding on to so much. Why? I slowly began to realise that it might stem from a trust issue. While I thought I believed my God would provide all my needs, I was living as though it was my job alone. “Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable, their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment” (1 Timothy 6:1). In this era of credit cards, robotic vacuum cleaners and online shopping, it’s easier than ever to become self-reliant and forget our need for God. I tell you what though, it’s a deceiving and slippery slope. It has shown me how important it is to be a good steward. I used to believe that being a good steward of my possessions meant holding on to it all. However, when we stockpile our “extras” and “back-ups” in our garages, closets and storage units, we become like the servant who hid his bag of silver in the ground, afraid he’d lose it all (Matthew 25:14-30).
We have a responsibility to use what we’ve been given to glorify God. There are people who genuinely need some of the items we hold on to for our “what-if” scenarios. Whether it’s your skills, faith or extra crib sheets, don’t bury them. It has shown me that we need to love people more. “If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion- how can God’s love be in that person?” (1 John 3:1). As we moved our stuff into storage, I have been challenged. We should find more joy in generosity than we do in accumulation. When we see our stuff for what it is - stuff, we are in a better position to give generously, lean into greater trust, and love people the way we are told to. Letting our excess become somebody else’s treasure has sparked more joy in me than any material item ever has. Generosity plants a seed of hope in both the life of the giver and the receiver. My revelation was more than an encounter, it was a divine appointment. God promises to meet all our needs. He will lift you from the muck, mire and mounds of clutter so that you can ditch the abundance of stuff and pursue a more abundant life with less, which I believe is a more God glorifying life. 18

Q&A with Pat Robertson
Q A
How do we lean on the Word of God? The Bible was written long before we were born.
The eternal truths in the Bible were always there, and you can find things in the Bible that will encourage you and build you up. And what does the Bible say? 2 Timothy 3:16-17 tells us, “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realise what is wrong in our lives. It corrests us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work” (NLT). In other words, it’s for instruction in righteousness, and for gaining wisdom. Plus, the wisdom of God is eternal. The Bible was given to teach us the way to live. It’s helpful in doctrine and other things that pertain to it.
