Purpose of Hebron

Hebron is a 150 acre property near Mount Pleasant, in the Adelaide Hills. As a fellowship we stay at Hebron one weekend a month for fellowship and a working bee. We come together for Shabbat to praise and study the scriptures, as well as just enjoying each other's company. We also come together to celebrate the moedim of YHVH and during Sukkot we spend the entire week together.

This property holds hope, vision and purpose.

To be a spiritual, Elohim-centred Messianic people, developing community on Scriptural, kingdom principles.
To foster a deep love for YHVH and for one another in practical, relational and spiritual ways.

To give Israel its rightful place in our faith and to grow in our understanding of Israel's place in Elohim's heart and the end time message.
To be supportive of Israel and the Hebrew people in our prayers and practical aid.

Blessed Dry Times

In Australia it's summer time. In South Australia it's particularly dry and there is a real possibility of below average rainfall for the autumn season as well. This is not unusual for our part of the country. It's part of the natural cycles and here at Hebron we take the necessary preparations. The dams are drying up but we have plenty of rainwater in the tanks and a bore that draws up water from 60 metres below, so for a short dry spell we are well prepared. We have enough dry feed in the paddocks and bales of hay for the flock of sheep to get us through this dry season. I'm actually grateful for this dry spell this month because it means that the evil caltrop has not germinated, saving me from a lot of work. Caltrop (think the most evil version of a three-corner jack!) needs higher temperatures and good spring rains to germinate - usually in early December. Caltrop and I will continue our battle if we get rain before the summer ends though! B...

Sheep of His Pasture

The guys have been out fixing fences so that our flock can move into the paddock. The roos have a tendency to break fences and dig holes so it's an ongoing chore unfortunately. Whilst it's rather nice to see them out in the paddocks, and to see when the joeys emerge from the pouch, it can be frustrating as well. Moving the flock into a different paddock is always one of my favourite things to do because you get to give them a closer check and they're always excited about going into a fresh paddock. So late in the afternoon last Friday I thought, why not share it with you as well. Enjoy a quick visit to Hebron and I pray that wherever you are, in whatever pasture our Father YHVH has you, that you are blessed and experiencing His overshadowing kindness.

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...
