Winter Sun

By
Last week we brought in the flock to tag, vaccinate and castrate the new batch of 34 lambs; 17 ewes and 17 rams.  We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day and the task was completed quickly, which could be due to the flock being well behaved or the shepherds' stunning efficiency....I choose the later!


To date this year we have received 308mm (12 inches) of rain and the tanks are full, the dams are topped up and the pastures are doing well.  However, an El Nino is forming and we're more than likely going to experience reduced spring rains so careful management of our pastures will be needed.

It's human nature, or perhaps complacence, that we want to hear good news and be reassured that all will be sunshine and lollipops but it is good practice to be informed and prepare well in advance.  The same is true for the purpose of Hebron.  We believe that the days are short and it is prudent for us to a prepare a place of refuge and provision in case of times of need, whether that be in 10 years, this generation or the next.  


It's a beautiful piece of land and as we develop it to become more productive, usable and appealing we are being knitted together, honed and encouraged in Yeshua, the Messiah.

We are surely blessed and highly favoured.

Sukkot in the Adelaide Hills

By
  With the autumn feasts upon us I was reflecting on Sukkot last year and how the year since has been full of YHVH's blessings and encouragements.   The HTTN community purchased the property nearly 19 years ago and we have worked hard to develop it.  There is still much to be done so that it can facilitate the purposes that YHVH wants for it but He has proven Himself faithful to His word over the years.  Not a minute too late, not a minute too soon.   We are looking forward to celebrating Yom Teruah next week and then Sukkot a few weeks later.  Hebron will once again be filled with the sound of shofars, singing and laughter.  Yes, there have been times of weeping and even then He proves Himself merciful and faithful. Hallelu Yah!

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...

Shalom with Messiah

In a few weeks we will begin the next phase of the moed with Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.  As with every year, we are eagerly anticipating this time with YHVH and the community in the Adelaide Hills.   One thing we say every year is that we long for the day when the wider Messianic community come together at Sukkot to celebrate with praise, feasting and fellowship.  It would seem that the Messianic community is relatively young and scattered in Australia and in the early days we would at times wonder if there was anyone else responding to the call to come out of the Christian church system and return to the ancient paths.  And of course there were and are. It's always so exciting when we meet another person or family who are on the same path and we can rejoice together.  We all have different stories, backgrounds and experiences but the common and binding truth is that YHVH is love and that love is expressed not only in His redemption but in the fullness o...
