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.

FATHER & SON - CLAIMING THE PROMISES
All good things come in threes. At least that's a well-known saying. But with this third child came an incredible series of conflicts, pain and challenges that presented parents Walter and Sonica Veith with seemingly unsolvable problems. Here he was, baby Robert Veith! Alongside the happiness of the child's arrival, the world collapses. And not just for the moment, because the family is now facing decades of huge changes that will have a decisive impact on the foundations of their lives, lifestyle, faith, hope and future. Walter Veith & his son Robert talk openly & sincerely about these conflicts, pain & challenges, along with their faith & hope in the Lord.
Repeated on Monday 29 April at 4:30am, Wednesday 1 May at 12:00pm and Friday 3 May at 12:00am.
