Rhema Media Helps Bring Clean Water to Thousands

More than 5,800 people will gain access to safe, clean water thanks to the generosity of New Zealanders who responded to Rhema Media's inaugural Water for Life Day.

Held on 23 July, the nationwide campaign united audiences across Life FM, Rhema, Sanctuary and Shine TV, inviting listeners and viewers to help transform communities through access to one of life's most basic necessities.

By the end of the day, supporters had funded clean water solutions for more than 5,800 people, an extraordinary result for the first-ever Water for Life Day.

The campaign was delivered in partnership with Convoy of Hope, whose clean water initiatives provide sustainable access to safe drinking water in communities where water scarcity and waterborne disease continue to impact daily life.

The incredible response reflects the heart of New Zealand audiences to live out their faith in practical ways.

Across radio, television and digital platforms, the campaign shared stories of hope and invited audiences to become part of lasting change. Throughout the day, presenters encouraged prayer, generosity and practical action, demonstrating the unique role Christian media can play in connecting people with real ways to make a tangible difference.

The success of Water for Life Day also highlights the strength of collaboration across the Christian media community. As a partnership between Rhema Media, Christian Media & Arts Australia (CMAA) and Convoy of Hope, the initiative reflects a shared vision to see media used not only to communicate the Gospel, but also to respond to human need with compassion.

CMAA members are working together to launch Water For Life Day on 20 August in every state across Australia. With our Kiwi members setting the bar high, we're excited to see how the campaign resonates with Australian audiences as we work together to multiply hope, one drop at a time.
