Celebrating a Milestone: Bible⁠—from Genesis to Revelation



Celebrating a Milestone: Bible⁠—from Genesis to Revelation

By Coach Davie

The DaveCha Moments crew recently marked a powerful achievement: completing a group Bible study known as CBR 12 (Cover-to-Cover Bible Reading). This is part of the Net Ministries Trust members. To celebrate this spiritual milestone, the team traveled to Kisumu to visit two beloved mentors—Dad Hesbon and Mum Pamela Were—at their home. But this wasn’t just a casual visit. It was a heartfelt celebration of growth, scripture, and legacy, made even richer by the couple’s inspiring life and livelihood.

Arrival at the Were Family Home in Kisumu

The Were residence sits peacefully in the heart of Kisumu, but it’s more than just a home—it’s a sanctuary of warmth, wisdom, and hard-earned abundance. As the group arrived, they were welcomed not just with hugs and heartfelt greetings but with the grounding presence of a family that has walked the talk for years.

Inside, Mum Pamela had prepared tea and light snacks, while Dad Hesbon greeted everyone with his calm, fatherly warmth. The spirit of hospitality was unmistakable—and so was the story told by their home and land.

A Farm Full of Purpose: Over 1,000 Chickens and Counting

What many might not expect is that the Were family are also large-scale poultry farmers, managing a vibrant farm with over 1,000 chickens. It's not just impressive—it’s inspiring.

The group was given a short tour of the poultry setup, and what they saw was more than a side hustle. It was a well-run, sustainable operation that reflects the same discipline, dedication, and stewardship they’ve applied to their spiritual walk. Clean coops, well-fed birds, and efficient systems—everything ran with care and intention.

Dad Hesbon explained how their poultry journey started small and grew steadily with prayer, hard work, and wise planning. Mum Pamela chimed in with practical insights on feeding schedules and egg collection routines—turns out she’s the operation’s quiet powerhouse.

This part of the visit brought home a deeper message: Faith and productivity can go hand in hand. You can live a life of spiritual richness while still building something tangible, fruitful, and impactful for your family and community.

Reflections on Time, Scripture, and Stewardship

Back inside, the mood shifted to quiet reflection. With chai in hand, the group took time to talk about what this journey through the Bible had taught them:

  • From Genesis to Revelation, they’d encountered stories of resilience, obedience, faith, and restoration.

  • From Proverbs, Dad Hesbon emphasized wisdom in daily life—mirrored both in scripture and in how they run their farm.

  • From Ecclesiastes, they discussed the rhythm of seasons, both literal and spiritual—a topic especially poignant in a home where both crops and character are cultivated daily.

Moments of Joy, Laughter, and Legacy

There was laughter too—plenty of it. The kind that springs from shared memories and genuine friendship. Jokes about how much chicken everyone wanted to carry home. Stories of early morning Bible reflections that turned into deep life discussions. Mum Pamela’s infectious laugh filled the air more than once.

Wrapping Up With Gratitude

Before leaving, the group joined hands in prayer—thanking God for scripture, for faithful mentors, for real-life testimonies, and for the joy of building something that lasts, both spiritually and materially.

Why This Visit Mattered

This Kisumu home visit was far more than a celebratory get-together:

  1. It honored faithful mentors—Dad Hesbon and Mum Pamela live what they teach.

  2. It showcased fruitful stewardship—a home and farm built on discipline and grace.

  3. It celebrated community—a reminder that scripture is best lived out in relationship.

  4. It inspired legacy—a model for combining faith, hard work, and impact.

Final Thoughts

The Bible reading may be finished, but the journey continues. The visit to the Were family’s home showed that spiritual milestones should not just be commemorated—they should be anchored in places that embody the very truths we learn: wisdom, service, faith, and fruitful labor.

Whether it’s growing in faith or raising over a thousand chickens, the message was clear: Do it with purpose. Do it with love. Do it to the glory of God.
