We were born and raised in South Africa; and immigrated to Australia 18 years ago to follow God’s leading for our life and raise our 4 precious children (Gabriella, Zandri, Ruben and Zadok). In our journey to discover what modern day Israel means to our faith, we came across the ministry of HaYovel around 2008/2009. Our hearts immediately connected with this ministry as it has never connected to any ministry before or since. We came to realize that modern day Israel is a miraculous work from God in our generation and that the Bible is full of prophecy concerning this time. The return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel and the land responding by reversing desolation to fruitfulness is the much-awaited redemption happening before our eyes. As a family our hearts desire is to devote our lives to serving God by participating as gentiles from the nations in the restoration of the land of Israel and blessing it’s people. Our hearts desire is to also connect Bible believers from the nations to the restoration happening in our times on the mountains of Israel.
Deon is the Forestry manager at HaYovel and has a passion to see the native forests restored to the mountains of Israel. A variety of trees that would have grown in ancient Israel is planted with care, love and faith; in specially selected locations in Judea and Samaria, to restore the desolated mountains to vibrant and living forests with high biodiversity, bringing back plant and animal life to the area.
Leoni, Gabriella and Zandri take care of the hospitality needs on the Hayovel Base. They enjoy preparing for visitors and volunteers and making their experiences comfortable and pleasant.
