Firstlight - Changing Lives

More About Firstlight...

Firstlight Broadcasting Network was launched in New Zealand on the 17th September 2012 at 6pm.  The Firstlight channel broadcasts nationally 24/7 via the Freeview|HD (UHF terrestrial) network on Channel 26, via Freeview Satellite (also on Channel 26) and on SKY (Channel 206).  The official launch onto the satellite platform took place on Saturday 17th September 2016 at 6pm; at this same time Firstlight celebrated its fourth anniversary of bringing God's loving last day messages to the people of New Zealand.  Now Firstlight has been on air for over ten years! 

Firstlight is run by a team of dedicated volunteers whose mission is to proclaim God's love throughout New Zealand. Firstlight aims to broadcast the best selection of ground-breaking Christian programmes sourced from 3ABN, Amazing Facts, It Is Written and other international and local New Zealand sources as they become available.

While our programmes are based on Christian principles, we believe the programme topics will be of great interest to the general public and not just limited to a Christian audience.

Please continue to help us with your prayers and with your financial support.  We cannot keep your favourite Firstlight channel up on air without YOUR ongoing support!
Check out this week's Programme Schedule to see what is showing and what is coming up on Firstlight. 

We show a Christian film/documentary or an important interview on Saturday evenings at 7:30pm.  This is usually repeated at 12 noon on the Wednesday following.
See below for some of the highlights for the week ahead on Firstlight.


Saturday - 23 March 2024 - 7:30pm
WUP#190 - Him That Thinks He Stands, Take Heed Lest He Falls

 


In Episode 190 Walter Veith & Martin Smith are at the Brazilian camp meeting, with their three wonderful translators. Also Scotty Mayer of Little Light Studios as a guest. They discuss the influential power, that even individuals, can have over the masses through popularism or fear. And also how easily someone can take a 180 degree turn on what he said before. Will God's remnant church be the necessary influence on the world for this crucial period in history, and take their stand?


Repeated on Monday 25 March at 4:30am, Wednesday 27 March at 12:00pm and Friday 29 March at 12:00am.
