Meet the Uirabs

In 2012, David and Sandy Echols founded 3 Measures as a discipleship-based community development program focused on young adults, with local ownership as the goal from the start. By our ninth year, we were excited to see local leadership take over the day-to-day operations. We proudly announced Raylin Uirab as our new director, leading alongside a team of young people who had been raised in our Thrive communities.

Since 2021, Raylin Uirab has faithfully served as the director of 3 Measures Namibia, leading with dedication and passion. During this time, he has worked closely with the local leadership team, accomplishing remarkable progress in the ministry’s mission. His commitment to the community and his ability to guide others reflect his strong character and deep faith. We know Raylin to be both capable and dependable, continually seeking ways to serve God and his community. His leadership has been an inspiration, and we are grateful for the impact he continues to make through his work.

On April 1, 2023, Raylin and Whitney Uirab were married, marking a new chapter not just in their lives but also in the life of the ministry. Whitney quickly became an integral part of 3Measures Namibia, bringing her passion and dedication to the work alongside the local leadership team. Her involvement has been a blessing, adding to the vision of empowering the community.

Whitney’s connection to the Echols goes back to her time as a student at Community Hope School, where David and Sandy were working. They have known her for many years and have seen her grow into the remarkable leader she is today. As a Christian counselor, Whitney has a deep love for the community and a heart for service. She has been actively working with the youth through another organization, and her commitment to mentoring young people has made a lasting impact. We are grateful to have her as part of the 3Measures family, and her influence continues to inspire those around her.
