Singing in the Rain ...

Receiving rain in season is one of those events that produces joy and gratitude in everyone. Rainfall is something we cannot control and therefore we are at the complete mercy of the Creator of heaven and earth; the One who is the source of all life. Therefore the only appropriate response to the life-giving rain is praise and thanks.

The last couple of weeks we were blessed to receive 74mm and the soil has responded by producing the first flush of green feed.

Over the next few working days we will be working on improving the fencing to assist the easy movement of the flock and to ensure the rams only have access to the ewes when we determine.

I will be heading off to Israel with John, Carol and Glenys in a few weeks so I'll be focusing on getting things ready to make sure the chickens keep laying and the garden keeps growing. It's always a wrench to leave Hebron but coming home is a real joy and blessing.

Part of the blessing of Hebron is being able to share it with my family and watch the grandkids enjoy the space and freedom to experience what YHVH has created and blessed us with.

Without this small fellowship Hebron would just be a block of land. It is the coming together to enjoy fellowship and celebrate the moed that brings Hebron alive. Developing it to be a source of provision is a great way to develop relationships with people who have a common faith in Yeshua as the Messiah and the Ruach HaKodesh uses these times together to hone our characters, unite our hearts and exalt the name of YHVH.

In our busy lives with increased stressors and responsibilities, having the ability and time to come aside at Hebron allows our spirits to be refreshed and our relationships to be nurtured.

Psalm 145: I will exalt you, my God the King;

I will praise your name for ever and ever.

2 Every day I will praise you

and extol your name for ever and ever.

3 Great is YHVH and most worthy of praise;

his greatness no one can fathom.

4 One generation commends your works to another;

they tell of your mighty acts.

5 They speak of the glorious splendour of your majesty—

and I will meditate on your wonderful works.

6 They tell of the power of your awesome works—

and I will proclaim your great deeds.

7 They celebrate your abundant goodness

and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

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...

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 ...

Where Your Treasure Is.....

Life has changed for our community and we are now split between two geographic locations - Salem and Mildura - with a few of us coming and going between them. When the scripture says we are an 'unusual people', that certainly has an added layer for our community! We are full of anticipation of what YHVH will pour out for the people of Australia, particularly the towns along the Murray River and Victoria. But coming home to Hebron is always so good for the soul. Open skies - Open spaces So lovely to see water in the top dam, grass emerging and paddocks been sown for this year's hay crop. I have been reflecting more on the truth and freedom of Yeshua's command: Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and whe...
