Joel A'BellGUEST
I'm not sure, as you're listening, wherever you are around the country now, I'm not sure what your thoughts are on communion.

Tosh SturgessHOST
Well, technically, it's probably the only five-minute sermon they're going to hear as well, so we're safe.

Joel A'BellGUEST
So we're just national directors here in Australia and New Zealand, and we've got the same kind of roles all over the world.

Joel A'BellGUEST
So when it comes to disaster response, disaster relief, we have a headquarters that monitors storms and activities all around the world.

Joel A'BellGUEST
We often wake up to messages saying that an earthquake just happened somewhere.
Why is it Important to Support Communities without Water? - Joel A'Bell (Convoy of Hope) - 17 Aug 2026

Neil JohnsonHOST
But how important is it? And what sort of reception do you get when you turn up?

Joel A'BellGUEST
Look, I think there is a little bit of hesitation at first because these people are quite resilient and they've learned to do life difficultly without water.

Joel A'BellGUEST
If you come in like a mining company trying to come in and take our land, that can be a challenge.

Joel A'BellGUEST
But I think the book of James teaches us that if we believe in God but we have no intention of acting on it, then we really are lying.

Joel A'BellGUEST
We're not really believing in God if we don't want to give charity, don't want to act like Jesus would have acted.

Joel A'BellGUEST
And so when you come into a community and you can offer them a result, a resolve of their crisis, they do get a little bit excited, but they're wondering, is this empty promises? Are we going to follow through? I think the great thing now with Convoy of Hope is because we've been in so many communities, you've only got to point to a community a couple of hours away and say, do you know those people? Oh, you did that.

Neil JohnsonHOST
What is it that's going to happen that's going to get water to them and keep them from having to do the painful thing of having to send their women and children sometimes walking seven kilometres to and from the water supply? What are you going to see as a result of some fundraising?
