Two-fold Increase

We have been blessed to have 11 lambs born to our 10 ewes, with a surprising majority of them being ewes. A few of the ewes are too woolly so we'll be able to move those ones along and retain the ewe lambs in the flock.

Last Hebron weekend we tagged and vaccinated the lambs, and gave the ewes and ram a drench and shot as well. The ram has been diligent in his role but unfortunately he's not the best looking specimen at the moment. We'll keep him another year and move him on.

I've been adding to the little cubby town for the kids and Yakira gave the tee-pee a coat of paint. Although I think maybe she enjoyed playing in the cubby!

We have a plan to develop the old chicken pen area into a lovely park area with little nooks to sit, meditate and enjoy the beauty of nature.

The first new planting was a little copse of silver birch. Hebron has been transformed over the years from a blank slate to a lovely treed place of refuge. Over the next few months we are looking forward to planting new gardens and installing the required infrastructure.

Hebron is our place of refuge and in the future I know it will welcome many more people to enjoy fellowship, be encouraged and meet with our Father YHVH.

With the uncertainty of how the weeks, months and years ahead will look like in regards to our ability to gather and the impact of world invents upon Messiah's qahal, we can be certain of His plans and the surety of His kingdom.

Yes, it's a narrow path but oh, it's lined with beauty, blessings and a promise of more than a two-fold increase - we will be joining a great crowd of witnesses that have gone before us and together we will see our Great Hope standing in Jerusalem and ruling with justice and righteous. When we fix our eyes on Yeshua and allow His love and shalom to envelop us everything else in this world fades in comparison.

May YHVH, the Maker of heaven and earth, be always exalted in our lives and in our midst.

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...

Practical Deeds .... Spiritual Dividends

The practical outworkings of our worship and obedience may look different from one individual to another, one family to another or one fellowship to another. Here at Hebron it's a matter of looking after the land, stock, home and infrastructure to ensure that things are ticking along as they should in a timely manner; creating a refuge and oasis, now and for the future. This week the flock were treated to some mineral blocks, which will provide necessary salts and minerals that they need to remain in tip top shape while they're lambing in the summer months. The smaller top dam is well and truly dry but this would be the perfect time to get the tractor in there and dig it deeper, which would also have the bonus of providing good dirt for the vegie patch. This dam is not spring fed so having it deeper would provide more water for next summer, provided it fills during the winter months. The vegie patch, or as I prefer to call it at times, the battlefie...

Sukkot 2025

When the sun set on the 8th day of Sukkot there was much to be grateful for. It was a week of joy and laughter, and serious reflection. I sit here trying to put into a succinct paragraph all that transpired but suffice to say, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, our Abba, met with us, encouraged and refined us. We were joined by a brother and sister from Western Australia - family in the Messiah that we just hadn't met yet. We look forward to meeting many more of Yeshua's community in the years to come! We love to praise - I mean we really love to sing and shout His praises. We do our best to do as David instructs and maybe we're not as skilful or harmonious, but we certainly are joyful! The praise and teaching times were recorded to YouTube if you want a refresher. Like I said, we might not be polished in sound or technique, but we are uncompromising in our devotion to Him and His Word. Sukkot Worship & Teaching YHV...
