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.

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...
