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.

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...
