3 Measures

3 Measures 3 Measures is a community development/church planting work in Katutura, Namibia. We aim to impact all measures of a community: physical, social & spiritual

The Three Measures

“The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.” Matthew 13:33

The Kingdom of God is revolutionary and its reach is unlimited. When present in a community, it should not simply transform a part, but should permeate every aspect of that society. Every

community is made up of three measures:

(1) the physical, (2) the social and (3) the spiritual. Local Ownership & Initiative

Three Measures is committed to see sustainable programs started. As far as possible Namibians must have ownership over any programs started. Three Measures will seek to organize and participate with members of a community in assessing their needs and planning their actions. Once the
community has taken initiative to begin a project, Three Measures will assist them in fulfilling those plans through training and consultation. There may be cases in which Three Measures will initiate a program, in these cases there must be a clear exit strategy in place before the project commences. Restoration Plea

The Restoration plea is a call for the church to get back to New Testament Christianity; a laying aside of the doctrines and traditions that have led the people of God away from what it was in the beginning and a turning to the Word of God as the only basis of our faith. We believe that the Gospel message is a simple message, one that was originally entrusted to (and understood by) average and basically uneducated men. Three Measures is committed to bringing the Gospel only; not our own cultural version of it, littered by man-made traditions and/or creeds. In order to be successful we must teach local Christians to study the Bible for themselves and to simply do what it says.

There are seasons where you wonder how you’ll keep going.

For us at 3Measures, the last year and six months have been one of those seasons.

When we no longer had a place to call home, we refused to let that stop what God had started. Our Bible studies moved from parks to restaurants, from one home to another. Every week looked different and sometimes inconvenient, sometimes uncertain. Yet every gathering reminded us that our Thrive meetings has never been about a building; it has always been about people.

We’re reminded of how God walked with the Israelites through the wilderness. He didn’t remove every challenge, but He never left their side and we can say the same.

What seemed like a difficult season became one of growth. We witnessed a beautiful shift in the lives of our young leaders. Ownership increased. Character was refined. People stepped up, served one another, and discovered that ministry is something we all carry together.

Today, our hearts are filled with gratitude.

By God’s grace, we’ve moved into a new office space with a conference/Training hall where our Bible studies can once again have a home. It’s also a place where we can restart our skills development initiatives and workshops that have always been close to our hearts.

This isn’t the finish line, it’s another chapter in the story God is writing.

As we settle into this new space, we continue believing and working toward the bigger vision of purchasing a permanent Mission Center that will serve generations to come.

Thank you to everyone who prayed with us, encouraged us, and stood alongside us during this season. Every step has reminded us that God’s faithfulness is often seen most clearly when the path ahead isn’t.

Here’s to a new season. May God receive all the glory.

Greetings to the New Year!!!

We are excited to share that we have resumed with Bible studies for all our Thrive communities this week.

For everyone following our journey we will continue with House to House bible studies, and simultaneously continue to work tirelessly and prayerfully towards securing the building.

All those messages and prayers have been very encouraging, we are grateful!!!

As we prepare to see off the year, our hearts are full as we reflect on how faithful God has been. This year didn’t start the way we expected. Moving out of a ministry office meant changing how we do ministry, and it led us into a new season of house to house Bible studies for our Thrive communities. It wasn’t always comfortable, from hosting one another, noisy neighbors during Bible study, busy schedules, jobs, and varsity life, but God carried us through every challenge.

We have witnessed beautiful growth in maturity, character, and everyday faith. Seeing lives shaped by Christ and a deeper dependence on Jesus has been one of the greatest rewards of this year.

Our youth and young adults stepped out of their comfort zones at the YWAM National Youth Camp, and we also took a bold step through our Divundu outreach, over 700km away. From creative fundraising to sharing on national radio, God stretched us in ways we didn’t expect.

Additionally this year we had to pause some programs like Hope Café and other community initiatives, but ministry continued in small and meaningful ways, showing up, helping where we could, and trusting God for the right timing. As we look ahead, we are prayerfully working toward securing a property we believe is key for the next season of the ministry.

Thank you to everyone who supported us prayerfully and financially. We truly could not do this without you.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed, hope filled New Year 🎄✨
