Wonderful Winter

Celebrating the culmination of Trevor's sixth decade was as good an excuse as any to light a camp fire and enjoy the starry night.  Thanks Guac!


Some days I light a small fire and just sit and feel incredibly blessed by the beauty and shalom here at Hebron; snatches of time to be in His presence without the interruptions and demands of life.


Fencing is now a priority and will be on the 'to-do' list for a few months to come.  The guys are doing a great job and not only will it facilitate easier flock handling, it adds value to the property.


Even though the paddocks look green we are hanging out for more rain.  We received nearly 30ml this month, which is a blessing, but we are preparing for a dry spring and summer and managing our flock size will be very important. 


With views like this it's not a bad way to spend a weekend!


When we took ownership of Hebron over 9 years ago there little eaten down saplings, hardly 15cm high.  Now they've grown sufficiently to provide a great hiding spot for Yakira!


I've enjoyed planting various garden beds and watching them grow and take shape; a bit like us all really ....


In a couple of months we will be gathering together to celebrate the festival of Sukkot.  As we prepare Hebron for celebrations we too are prepared for that final Great Day by entering into the message and beauty of the preceding moed; Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur.

Unleavened Bread - 2024

For this small part of Yeshua's body, Healing to the Nations in South Australia, the last few months, including the past week of Pesach, has been ....well, different and unusual.  It has truly been a period of time where Father YHVH has been rooting and grounding us in His love, word and truth.  We gathered together at Hebron to keep the Pesach memorial and there was a stripping back.  No traditions, no add-ons, just Yeshua's Pesach and Yeshua's words.  The following day, the first day of Unleavened Bread, the Father's kindness and uncompromising truth was manifested amongst us.  It was truly a blessed time together.  Traditionally the week of unleavened bread will have an emphasis of dealing with the carnal ego, which is very apt, or the leaven of the pharisees, which is also very apt.  However, Paul emphasised that sin that is tolerated is also leaven that must be exposed and dealt with to ensure that the body of Yeshua is kadosh, which was emphasise...

Sukkot in the Adelaide Hills

  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!  

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...
