Written “For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.” (Romans 8:22) We come into this world crying. We cry again, frequently, while we’re young, usually because of some temporary pain or sadness which rudely snatches us away from the simple wonder of childhood. And then, despite the richness and beauty of life, as we grow older we continue to cry, just more quietly. We sigh and groan inwardly as we see and feel that the world we are born into is somehow infected. Pain, sickness, abuse, suffering and loneliness – we can’t really miss that although the world is miraculous, it’s also broken. “ The

Death is never distant, lying in wait as the ultimate reminder that something is seriously wrong. And so, we cry out along with the rest of creation. Enter the powerful practice of lament. Although this is not something I have much personal experience in, I have recently become convinced that lament is 03
Lament
by
Ian Walton
a very special, very underutilised gift, and biblical ‘language’ that the Lord has given us for our difficult journey here on earth. A third of the Psalms are laments, and many other prayers of lament are scattered all over the Bible. Laments are basically cries of sadness and desperation. They are raw, heartfelt prayers to God expressing deep pain caused by this sin-broken world. But importantly, laments also convey a turning towards God within these prayers. They express trust in God even when He can’t be seen or felt through despair, confusion and pain. In Psalm 13, for example, David frustratedly cries out to God, “How long must I wrestle with my thoughts, and day after day have sorrow in my heart?” He continues very differently just a few lines later, “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.” The writer seems ambiguous in his mixed-up emotions, but also authentic and trusting. He is turning his sadness towards God. Like the biblical writers, we lament because we are suffering, or are deeply troubled by the
suffering of others. But we also lament because we know God is sovereign and good. We know His promises are true. So, we turn to Him. We reach out to Him, not necessarily for answers, but for His presence. The laments in scripture seem to mysteriously convey to us the profound truth that God is generally not rescuing people out of suffering but rather longing for them to invite Him into it. True lament should also include sadness for sin. We should not cry out against what is wrong outside of us without simultaneously lamenting for what is wrong inside of us. Every suffering and tragedy is “ The

a reminder that this world is groaning under the weight of sin. Repentance is needed because, at least at a broad level, sin and suffering are linked.

inner world. Lament is for everyone. We all need and long for God’s comfort and communion. And although these blessings seldom get rid of the pain, they always come to us through it as we turn towards Him. He can then begin to redeem that pain (as only He can) and transform it into something that can be used to bring healing to and through us - instead of more hurt. If you are in a dark season of unanswered prayer, sad or angry at situations in the world around you, or unsure how to express your frustration or disappointment to God… Lament is for you. It is a powerful scriptural invitation to bring whatever is inside you to the Lord, no matter how it comes out. Will you try it? Your loving Father is sitting patiently next to you as you grieve alone on that cold park bench. Can you bring yourself to properly look towards Him and start to express whatever it is that you’re feeling? “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18) 04
Shining the Light of the Lord Written
by
Gordon Robertson
Any nation that follows the precepts of God’s Word will be blessed. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 14:34: “Righteousness exalts a nation”. Today, America (and the world) is at a place where the righteous who are called by God need to shine. This is not a time for us to retreat. This is not a time for us to hide our light under a bushel. This is definitely a time to shout it from the housetops, because the world needs us. Now more than ever, we must shine brightly! As Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:14: “You are the light of the world.” This is part of the Sermon on the Mount - which, as Christians, we take as our constitution of what it means to live in the kingdom of God. For the Jewish people, their spiritual constitution is found in Leviticus chapters 19-21. It begins, “You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.” This call to holiness is also in the New Testament: “As He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your 05
conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:15-16). These are the words of the Apostle Peter - who was with Jesus at the Mount of Transfiguration, denied Him three times, and was restored. And he tells us to be holy. The Hebrew word for holy means ‘set apart’. We want to be holy every moment of every day - in the world but not of the world, set apart for service to God, motivated by righteousness, and taking every thought captive to Christ. We know that any nation that follows the precepts of God’s Word will be blessed. So let’s pray that we would be a light, showing from our hearts and through our deeds that we want to be known as holy people and a righteous nation. God bless you.
To Lament... Written
by
Gertrude Moyo
To lament one needs to have lost something or know of loss. You can lament for people because you got the revelation of how they have missed something. To lament one needs to identify with the people you are lamenting for. Love must move you to lament. To lament one needs a revelation from God of His purpose and will. People are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge. To lament is to intercede and ask for mercy for whom you are lamenting for. I can lament for South Africa. I ask God’s mercy for the nation. I weep for it because I want to see God pour out His mercy. To lament means you feel deeply about what you are crying out for. You love deeply. The will of God is important. To lament is one way of sharing and expressing grief. The best way to survive grief is to share it and express it with others. To lament is to hope. Lamentation should always happen in hope. In hope of deliverance, hope of God sending help and of sending restoration. To lament is to be driven by love. Without love and hope, it is destructive and harmful.

CBN SA Hosts Alpha Online
Written by Robyn Hattingh Thinking back on Alpha fills me with such joy! Despite our own hinderances and reservations about hosting Alpha online as a team, God came through and showed us again how good and loving He is. For those who don’t know, Alpha is a 10 week foundational course aimed at… well, everyone. Alpha attempts to provide answers to those big questions about life and faith. It is full of historical facts, Biblical truths and amazing stories. It is a fantastic experience for non-believers, new believers and the rest of us needing an inspirational refresher! We invited partners and friends of CBN to join and posted the invite on social media. We were so humbled when more than 50 people registered and it was so exciting to share and experience the Gospel with new, and familiar, 07
faces all over the country. After a few weeks of getting to know one another, conversation flowed, tough questions were asked and faith was collectively challenged and strengthened. We know that relationships have been deepened through this – with God, between spouses and amongst friends. I am again reminded of how important community is! As a team, we feel incredibly blessed to have been invited into people’s homes and to have walked this journey together with them. Just as much as we hope Alpha has shaped their lives, their involvement and curiosity has shaped our worldview and relationship with God and each other. Thank you, CBN Partner for empowering us to facilitate CBN’s first online Alpha course for our fellow South Africans.
Operation Blessing Ministry Update The last couple of months have really brought the verse in Acts to life that says that “it is more blessed to give than to receive”. Shack Fires In our country, the housing situation that so many of our people are forced to live with is incredibly tough. It was once again the cause of multiple shack fires across Cape Town in July, leaving hundreds of people without homes and many without anything at all. Thanks to our generous donors and partnerships with organisations, like City Hope Disaster Relief and Siyakhula, we received the funds and resources to restore dignity and hope to these families through the distribution of food and basic home kits. Together we were able to bless a beautiful community of people who had lost the little that they had.
Food Security Projects Some exciting news is the launch of two food security projects that we are involved with. The first is in Malawi where at least forty people from two local villages outside of Lilongwe have participated in a 10-week agribusiness programme. The focus of this Cultivate programme is to give local pastors the farming skills needed to grow food for their families whilst empowering them with the knowledge to be able to train others in their own villages to farm, as a means of sharing the gospel through discipleship. I am excited to see how God uses this project to bless the beautiful people of Malawi. The second project is underway, and I am looking forward to sharing an update on it with you soon.

Superbook Updates Superbook in KZN This was our first collaboration trip with CBN’s Orphan’s Promise in June. It was organised as a community event targeted at children in the rural and township areas of KZN through Orphan’s Promise partnerships. A total of 92 children between the ages of 4 and 14 years old heard the gospel through Superbook. We saw 54 children giving their lives to Christ. We made some wonderful connections and we have also identified key people whom we believe could assist us in establishing Superbook in the region. We are hoping to have a similar trip to Johannesburg by the end of the year. These mission trips would not be possible without your support as a partner. We are grateful for your contributions. Top two and lefthand side photo: KZN outreach.
Superbook in Malawi Your generous contributions and partnerships have made it possible for us to keep running Superbook clubs and screenings in Malawi. Below are some interesting developments and updates. 09
Malawi: Blantyre We are so excited to announce that our Superbook representative in Blantyre, Jarvis Msonda, opened a private school catering to children between the ages of 4 and 14 years old in March. He will be using Superbook as part of their curriculum. They are currently busy with screenings that involve watching Superbook episodes followed by a Gospel presentation that gives children an opportunity to give their lives to Christ. In June, a total of 40 children participated, and 15 children gave their lives to Christ. We thank the Lord for such amazing opportunities. Malawi: Lilongwe Robson Kamanga, our representative in Lilongwe, is currently running Superbook clubs with children in his area. Superbook Clubs are established with the purpose of discipling children and monitoring their spiritual development as they go through the Superbook curriculum. We appreciate Robson’s persistence in sharing the Gospel with children even in difficult circumstances. Covid-19 has made it difficult for him to reach children through schools, therefore he has chosen to establish Superbook clubs. He has been looking for ways to secure a venue that the kids
can gather in. They often have to meet in an open space in the evenings. Despite this obstacle, the children still attend the club regularly. Robson runs two clubs that reach 99 children - all of whom have committed to being part of the Superbook club.

Katlego’s Tragedy Turned Testimony Submitted
Katlego is a 7-year-old boy in Grade 1, and he is enrolled with CBN’s Orphan’s Promise supported project Dayspring in Gauteng. He has been with us since pre-school. He really loves school and being at Dayspring. In the second last week of the first term, on a Sunday evening, his mother’s boyfriend was driving him from the township, where he stays on weekends with his grandmother and aunt, to the farm where his mother works and stays full time. They were on a two-lane road going 55km/h when a drunk driver, who had no driver’s licence and an unroadworthy car, turned into the road right in front of them. His mother’s boyfriend tried to avoid the accident, but the drunk driver plowed into Katlego’s side of the car. The car door smashed in under the impact and Katlego’s right leg, from hip to ankle, was crushed. It is a miracle that Katlego survived as the car was totalled. They waited quite a while for the ambulance to finally arrive to take him and the driver to the 11

hospital. Government hospitals in South Africa have a lot of corruption and other challenges but at least there is medical care and help for the poor. Sadly, Katlego sat in the hospital for nearly a month before any doctor could decide on what to do. They did not want to put a cast on if they didn’t have to, as he was so young, but in the end, they put a cast from just below his hip to the tip of his toes. He again sat in hospital with a cast on for all of June. The Dayspring staff were in constant contact and made numerous visits to the hospital during this time. Katlego LOVED visits from his Grade 1 teacher, Aunty Gao. He often asked other visitors who came to see him if they could phone Aunty Gao for him so he could talk to her. Aunty Gao always reminded him how much Jesus loved him, that He was there for him, and that he should talk to Jesus every day. Katlego is an only child. His father and mother are not together, but his father is involved in his
life and was a frequent support and visitor to the hospital something we praise God for. His dad also bought him a cheap phone while he was in hospital so they could phone and speak to him with Covid limiting visits. Unfortunately, his phone was stolen. He was finally discharged from hospital at the end of June. When Dayspring staff visited him in his tin shack, set up on the slope of a steep hill in a township, he was still unable to move on his own. The hospital sent him home with crutches but no physio or training. The staff started teaching him how to use the crutches and taught his granny and aunt how to support him while he was learning. He soon caught on. The staff spoke to his mum early in June to see if the hospital could release him to Dayspring and even requested for her to send him to them full time so they could help him rehabilitate and catch up on a whole term’s worth of missed work. The mother felt Katlego should wait another 6 weeks until his next doctor’s appointment at the hospital before going to Dayspring, so they prayed, visited, and waited. He was finally released to come to school at the start of the 3rd term in the last week of July. He
will be staying at Dayspring full time for now so that Aunty Gao can work with him during the week and on weekends. She has recently found that he has lost most of his previous learning and has begun stammering when he speaks. We are trying to determine if this was due to potential head injury, trauma, or something else. Katlego is super excited to be back at Dayspring with his family and beloved teacher. He arrived on crutches but after some of the rehabilitation work the staff has done with him in the past 2 weeks, he can now get around without his crutches. His recovery is truly a miracle. We continue to trust God for his academics and to heal the trauma the accident caused. Katlego’s mother was incredibly grateful for all of our support and said: “Please tell Orphan’s Promise thank you for paying school fees for my son. It was very hard during this time.” 12
To Lament: A Form of Worship Written
by
Cl ay ten Gouws
Lamenting… This is probably not a word that is on the tip of many of our tongues in today’s day and age. It’s a word that we associate with the Bible perhaps, but really, what is lamenting and what does it look like for us today?
to grieve and lament over. Pain and sorrow followed him for so much of his life, yet he was not a man of sorrow. We are told of so many stories where joy overflowed out of him, to a degree that he even ran around in his underwear in joyous celebration of God.
To be honest, I didn’t really connect well with the word lament, and I’m sure there are many of us that don’t. David, the author of many Psalms, was a man who had a deep connection to the Father and knew what it meant to truly lament. If you know his story you will know he had SO much
What then is the point of lamenting? Why is it given so much air-time in the Psalms and throughout the whole Bible? Even Romans 8 tells us how creation and the whole earth is groaning (lamenting) awaiting “the redemption of our bodies”.
13
Desiringgod.org (John Piper) says “Laments turn toward God when sorrow tempts you to run from Him.” Lamenting is an invitation to pour out our hurt, pain and sorrow and to trust that God is big enough to handle us in our mess. It is a powerful act of trusting God with our deep fears and disappointments, with our grief and hurt, often in times when we feel like bursting from carrying it all on our own shoulders. When

When we allow ourselves to lament, to truly grieve in the presence of our Father, our souls are freed to fully go to the deep (and sometimes dark) places with Jesus where we find healing and in true
fatherly fashion, He begins to replace our mourning with dancing. He exchanges our sorrow for joy. That is why David could dance amid the chaos. That is why so many of his Psalms ended with praise and declaring the goodness of God. He had been there before many a time. He knew the pain and loss, but he also knew the kindness of God. For him that made it worth it. Lamenting has become real for me. Last year I experienced something extremely painful and felt completely helpless. Yet amid my anger, pain and disappointment I was given an invitation by God to go into the depths of my hurt with Him. To allow His Spirit to really meet with me at my core. So why lament?
Because lamenting is worship! I once heard someone say that we will only ever get to offer God the beautiful kind of worship that comes from a place of sorrow and pain while we are on this earth. So, let’s make the most of it while we’re here. 14
Lamenting to Thrive Written “O God, why have You cast us off forever? Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?” (Psalm 74:1) As a kid, reading words of what I thought to be accusation towards God, made me feel anxious. I would quickly skim past them in fear of making God angry at my disobedience. I believed that anger towards God was blasphemous. This followed me through my adolescence and into my young adulthood years. Until I could no longer keep the anger in. Years of emotions from various situations and injustices could no longer be contained and they bubbled over. I entered a phase of not doubting God’s existence but doubting His goodness. The age-old questioning of God’s goodness, love and intent for my life became my focus. I sought out insight from people I trusted and who had asked these questions themselves and had found peace and God through it. Much to my surprise... Anger is okay, even good at times. My mentor during this time taught me that it’s okay to be 15
by
Robyn Hat tingh
angry, that anger was a natural human emotion – and if God created us and called us good (Gen 1:31) then our ability to be angry was good too... As long as it was expressed in the correct manner and processed well. This was the beginning of learning how to lament with God. I learnt that God wants to be a part of all our emotions and situations, and He wants to help us through them and process them together. I began writing it all down. All of my anger, doubt, frustration, heartbreak and feelings of hopelessness. The more I wrote, the less burdened I felt. I’d spend my long commute to work wrestling through my emotions with God. I’d cry and sometimes scream out in frustration as I lay it all in front of Him. I learnt the power of both speaking out my emotions and writing it down. Along with my sessions with my mentor, these moments of lament with God became therapeutic. As time went on, my lamenting became less, and my thankfulness and awe of God increased. My situations and past didn’t necessarily
change, but God changed me through the process. He worked in me so that I could handle and understand better. The key: bring your anger to God No matter what you’re going through, God wants you to bring your anger to Him. Even if you’re angry at Him, He can handle it. Much like a relationship with a parent, partner or friend – honesty is the best medicine. During our marriage prep course, my husband and I were continuously reminded of the importance of expressing ALL emotions to each other in a way that brought them into what we’re going through, rather than isolating each other. This develops intimacy, trust and healthier communication longterm. It’s hard, but it’s good in the long run. And this is very much what God wants us to do. He wants us to bring Him into everything so that we develop intimacy, trust and healthy communication with Him. He WANTS us to live in relationship with Him because He’s interested in our daily lives. He wants to see us thrive. When we bring Him into our moments of anger, sadness, frustration, doubt and hopelessness, He will be our comfort, fill us with peace, give us joy and will help us
understand the situation better. He will give us revelations that will encourage us, and others, as we share our life journey with our community. As Christians we are certainly not exempt from hardship, but we are given tools, resources, and our Creator Himself as a means to walk through it – coming out stronger and more resilient because of Him. I’m not nearly as eloquent as King David was with his laments in the Psalms, and that’s okay. We don’t need to lament poetically, we just need to lament with God. We can learn a great deal from reading books like Psalms, Lamentations and Job. God gave us the resources and guidance we need to cope here on Earth. He knew our mental wellbeing would be a struggle, so He has equipped us with healthy coping mechanisms. I encourage you to find your own way of lamenting with God. It’s a skill that will be useful throughout our lives and will contribute to healthy conflict management in our own relationships. Our God is good, despite what our situations here on earth say, He cares about you more than you can even comprehend. Allow Him into your heart and mind as you express your anger and hurt to Him. And be expectant of a deepening in your intimacy and experience of Him. 16
Allowing the Process of Lament Written
All of us experience loss at different points in our lives. We have lost jobs, material possessions or our health. We have family members and friends who have passed away. Sometimes we lose a relationship that’s important to us because of a conflict or because someone moves away. Those kinds of losses are a part of life and usually, we can’t control them. But we can determine how we respond to them. What is lament? Lament is a passionate expression of grief and sorrow— to mourn, to grieve, to beat one’s breast in anguish. A lament is not whining, complaining, griping, or grumbling. It is to say, “Woe is me!” (Micah 7:1): what misery is mine. It sums up the feeling of a grieving mother who has lost a child, or a widow or widower facing their spouse’s funeral, or a conquered nation. “Woe is me!” is only used in the most dire, grim, ruinous circumstances. Here’s a biblical example that 17
by
M e a g a n Tay l o r
I like to refer to - in 2 Samuel, David and his men immediately begin the process of mourning for Saul and Jonathan. This lament represents a pivotal point in David’s life. It refers to a “bridge from life to death to life”. David had been anointed king 10 to 15 years prior to this event and he had spent a good part of that time running from Saul, who was trying to kill him. But now that Saul is dead, this lament becomes an essential transition from that part of his life to his reign as the king of Israel. David realised the need for lament and grief. Acknowledging his loss enabled David to move on with the grieving process. The Bible is not ashamed of lament. In the Psalms, 60 of the 150 are categorised as lament psalms—40%. There is one book in the Bible that is devoted to laments, and it is aptly named Lamentations. Why does the Bible embrace lamenting? Because it is honest about human experience. If you have some issue in your
life, don’t just ignore it, but take the time to lament for it. Hand it over to God and ask Him to help you recover and move on. In conclusion, I’d like to ask you: is there something you have been ignoring but that you need to lament over? If so, I’d like to pray this with you:
Father, Thank You that You are with us in our times of need. Help us when we are hurting from the loss. Help us not to ignore the things that cause our hearts pain, but to hand them over to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. During these difficult times as we encourage one another on our spiritual journey, I’d like to say thank you for your
prayers and support. Here at CBN South Africa we have been overwhelmed by the faithfulness and support shown to us. With hundreds of individuals stepping up to support the ministry, we have been able to share the message of hope in Jesus to the nations! As we have shared vision and testimony with you, we have seen many of you step out and commit to support the work that we do on air, online and on the ground. May we take this opportunity to pause and say thank you! When faith-filled people capture the vision and run with it, chains break and lives transform through the love of God. 18

Q&A with Pat Robertson
Q A
How do you walk into the blessing of the Lord in all matters of life?
In Mark 4:19, the Lord was talking about how “the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches... choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” We have to earn a living. You’ve got to do your craft. But in all of it, give God praise. Brother Lawrence called it practicing the presence of God. He was a scullery cook and did his job as a service to God. Every time he cleaned a pan, he was doing it for the Lord. So, whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might.
