Wind, Sun and Festivals.... it's all happening!

I arrived home from Victoria to the windiest day we've had in a very long time.  Our weather station recorded winds up to 96.6 km/h - no wonder I couldn't hear myself think!  Surprisingly the only damage was the shed 3G aerial dislodged, a few sheets of tin blew out of the rubbish pile and a small branch from a tree at the side of the house came down.  The wind has finally abated and we're enjoying gorgeous sunny, spring days.

The latest acquisition is a loading ramp for our stock.  This will prove invaluable when it comes to loading our sheep to take to the butchers in a couple of weeks.  Previously this has been a difficult and stressful exercise for the stock, let alone the blokes who had to manually get them into the trailer. We are also looking into purchasing sheep yard panels.

Next week begins the festival season and at this time of the year Hebron comes into its own.  How blessed are we to have this property to come and celebrate the festivals.  Even though we will be gathering at Shekem and possibly with Jay's group in town during this season as well, the time spent at Hebron is extremely meaningful and invaluable for us a community.  We not only have the opportunity to be together but it develops our understanding of the end time purposes of properties such as Hebron. 

A past Sukkot gathering

Being a small community of like-minded believers and followers of Torah is not always a bed of roses, but it is community that provides accountability, encouragement, sustenance and protection.  Spending time together during Sukkot gives us more opportunity for more prayer and study, as well as having some more relaxed and fun times.  People come and go as they are able but how blessed are we to have a home where we can all stay together. 

As we join with the commonwealth of Israel in observing and celebrating the coming set-apart days we look forward to the day when Messiah Y'shua comes to reign from Jerusalem and Torah will indeed go forth from Zion, bringing shalom, healing and restoration.  There will be healing to the nations!

Joy Comes in the Morning

  For over a year South Australia and Victoria have been in drought.  Dams are dry, crops have failed and trees are dying.   When the community bought the property 19 years ago we invested in sinking a bore to ensure water security.  The water quality is good enough to water the stock and our gardens.  We also have large rainwater tanks which have kept water to the house.  However, if the drought had of continued we would have hooked the house up to the bore water as well.    We had stored enough hay to feed our sheep and alpacas and they were well fed.  Investment in the infrastructure has been a big expense in both finances and labour over the years, but it's in years like this that it's well worth it.  It brings so much joy to see the green grass and gardens when the paddocks are bare and dry.   Praise YHVH, the rains came last week!   We have received 40ml over the last couple of weeks and more is on the...

Sheep of His Pasture

The guys have been out fixing fences so that our flock can move into the paddock.  The roos have a tendency to break fences and dig holes so it's an ongoing chore unfortunately.  Whilst it's rather nice to see them out in the paddocks, and to see when the joeys emerge from the pouch, it can be frustrating as well. Moving the flock into a different paddock is always one of my favourite things to do because you get to give them a closer check and they're always excited about going into a fresh paddock.   So late in the afternoon last Friday I thought, why not share it with you as well.  Enjoy a quick visit to Hebron and I pray that wherever you are, in whatever pasture our Father YHVH has you, that you are blessed and experiencing His overshadowing kindness.  

Pesach 2025

It was such a blessing for our community to come together at Hebron  for the Pesach meal and the first day of unleavened bread.   We are not a big community in the Adelaide Hills but we are testifying that  Yeshua is the Messiah and walking in His ways.  There are so many individuals or families that don't have a Messianic fellowship that they can be part of because of geographic distances - or even theological distances.  Our desire is to see Messianic fellowships form and develop in many more parts of Australia so that the sheep of His pasture are fed, nurtured and protected. The Good News of Messiah and His kingdom has been hidden and misconstrued since the early times but the Ruach is revealing truth - the truth that sets His people free.      So as we come together in obedience to observe the moed, whether it's a couple here or a big fellowship over there, we are encouraged and built up in Him as we run the race that He has set before ...
