Foundations

Over the last few weeks we have been revisiting the importance of building upon the correct foundations that YHVH outlined through Moses.  These important truths can often be interpreted through our previous experiences, doctrines and beliefs so it's vital that we search the scriptures periodically to refresh and vitalise our understanding.  How kind is our Adoni that He meets us where we're at, draws us into the light of His truth and sets us free to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Last weekend we gathered at Hebron to worship YHVH and share our lives with each other.  How extraordinarily blessed are we to have such sweet company and a fantastic property to enjoy.  Of course that doesn't mean it's all sunshine and lollipops as we have those times when we need to put another before ourselves, to cover a multitude of sins with our love or on the rare occasion, confront an error.  However, these are often the times that the Spirit of YHVH accomplishes a strengthening and knitting together. 

We were so blessed to have Sandy Thomas visit us.  Sandy is one of those rare individuals that leaves you smiling and you just feel blessed having been in his company.  May YHVH continue to bless you in Mildura, Sandy!

The guys erected a fence to create a smaller paddock and protect our young trees.  This is arduous work but it gives us greater flexibility in moving the sheep around and also increases the value of the property. 

 The capers are doing very well this year and here we are ensuring each plant is properly watered and picking our first crop of capers.  We will go over each plant once a week to continue the picking cycle until the season is over and process the capers as go.  Within a couple of weeks we'll be able to sample them.  This will be the sixth year we have had these amazingly resilient plants and we are anticipating a decent crop off them next year.


Trevor and Neal were kept busy swinging gates.  Have I told you before that I love gates?  They make moving around the property so much easier and just make things look proper.  I do like a bit of visual order about the place!


During the holiday break the family has been up enjoying what Hebron has to offer and Brendan has been busy finishing fencing, gates and the orchard watering.  There are three trout in our lower dam and try as we might we were unable to catch them, so they're safe to live another day.

Hebron is such a delight and to see the slow but sure improvements is very satisfying. 

May YHVH's name be lifted high in our comings together.

Shalom.

Leaves of the tree are for the healing...

Over a year ago Yakira and I dreamt of how Hebron's fellowship house could  be updated and better suited to how we functioned as a messianic community.    We could see a fellowship room that had room to easily accommodate people and all the instruments.  Of course there had to be room to wave branches during Sukkot and the odd flag or two as well!  Being of the creative ilk we also wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing and could see the HTTN logo painted on a wall.   The design of the logo has evolved over time to reflect the mandate that YHVH has set for this part of His body in Adelaide.  Sonya devoted many hours to bring to life the visual expression of that mandate and Yakira redesigned the logo.    Why so much attention to a logo and visual expression of the mandate?  Because we as a community of torah-loving disciples of Messiah Yeshua have hearts that hold dreams and promises that are bigger than us as individuals or even co...

Sukkot 2024

The Healing to the Nations fellowship came together to celebrate Sukkot here at Hebron and what a blessed time it was. It seems that since Sukkot life and work got crazy busy so an update on our time together slipped off the priority list.  But as I reflect back on our time together and what has transpired since then I am again encouraged. There was a flurry of preparation in the meeting room and sukkah, and Hebron was ready for a big week of fellowship, praise and times with our King and Adonai.  Although there was one big disappointment because I could not locate the flags that we line the driveway with.  Colourful flags will definitely make an appearance for Sukkot 2025 though. Not everyone was able to come up at Sukkot and they were missed but there is always next year.  Father Yehovah's wisdom in establishing the annual feasts is such a powerful prophetic witness and joy for Messiah's body. The highlight of Sukkot is always spending time under the sukkah in the ...

Blessed Dry Times

In Australia it's summer time.  In South Australia it's particularly dry and there is a real possibility of below average rainfall for the autumn season as well.  This is not unusual for our part of the country.  It's part of the natural cycles and here at Hebron we take the necessary preparations.  The dams are drying up but we have plenty of rainwater in the tanks and a bore that draws up water from 60 metres below, so for a short dry spell we are well prepared. We have enough dry feed in the paddocks and bales of hay for the flock of sheep to get us through this dry season.  I'm actually grateful for this dry spell this month because it means that the evil caltrop has not germinated, saving me from a lot of work.  Caltrop (think the most evil version of a three-corner jack!) needs higher temperatures and good spring rains to germinate - usually in early December.  Caltrop and I will continue our battle if we get rain before the summer ends though!
