It’s been a week in Chipata, and we can’t begin to explain how wildly challenging, yet so fulfilling it is to be home!
Dearest friends/family, and faithful ministry partners,
Thank you to all of you who have been keeping us in your daily prayers and interceding on our behalf. We have seen the mighty hand of God move in favor for us and I know its because there are people who have dedicated themselves to intercession. May the Lord reward your faithfulness!
Like I’ve mentioned, we arrived a week ago and I’ll be honest…It has not been easy. I have been fighting off a nasty cold that has attempted to take me out and immobilize me. It’s been the worst cold/flu I’ve probably ever had and I’m just pushing for full healing in Jesus name. There’s a war raging in the spirit and I feel it. As I was having a cup of coffee on the balcony and reading the Word, I looked out into the hills and the Holy Spirit touched me to where I began to weep. He spoke into my heart and told me how much He loves these people. As I wept, my heart felt encouraged and strengthened. “Go and Tell my people, Go and tell them of my Love for them…” And so we are….Continue to stand in the gap for the people of this region, although the enemy comes to fight, he’s mistaken once again, it’s over….WE WON!
Andrey (and Kyle our friend and team mate) left to the big city of Lusaka for the week for chaplaincy training, which are leaders who receive training on how to correctly minister to the chiefs(kings) of Zambia. It’s an effective way of gathering leaders to better equip them on how to minister the accurate gospel to higher leadership(chiefs) because in order to reach that type of leadership, you need to be able to hold some type of platform.
Also, while Andrey is in the city, he is looking into getting us an propane oven-yay! The conveniency of having machines do things for you is completely taken for granted in the states- it’s a NEED. Here…it’s a huge DESIRE lol! We were blessed to be able to purchase a washing machine yesterday…I might sound super silly, but I just about gave it a big hug when we unpacked it in our bathroom lol…yes the bathroom. I don’t think you will find a single home (that wasn’t built by a westerner) that has a specific room and proper cables/hoses for it to function properly.
So…..we are just about ready to receive visitors soon!:) We super serious. ESPECIALLY if you are part of our partners team. It will give you an idea of what enormous part you play being in the states and with that we want to just say Thank You!!!!! To those of you who have given spontaneously, Thank You! We don’t have set-backs, we don’t lack anything all because of who we are and WHOSE we are. Fully surrendering will require you EVERYTHING…but you will receive ALL THINGS because of your OBEDIENCE. I’m telling you…if you haven’t heard it several hundred times before, investment into the Kingdom isn’t a sales pitch, it’s a promise that God has given us. Give, and it WILL be given to you. Gods heart here is for your heart to let go and let God 🙂 Make sense?
We have so much to share, yet we aren’t ready to pitch you a novel quite yet lol. but we do encourage you, if you have social media, please follow my instagram account (yana.gorlachev) or facebook to keep up to date on latest happenings. In the mean time, here’s how you can pray for us this month:
- Full healing to manifest in my(Yana’s) body and the rest of the household whose caught sniffles.
- To fully settle in our home, and get fully adjusted to this environment.
- For the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our path for super natural encounters with ppl and leadership here in Chipata.
- For safe travels back for Andrey and Kyle
- Safety and provision for us here on base(Im driving on the opposite side of the road now lol)
And as always, please let us know how we can pray for you. Message us privately or directly here so that we can stand in the gap for you! We love you all and are so grateful to the Lord for bringing each of you onto our path. Be blessed you highly favored, loved, and full of faith world changers!
Love you, so until next time,
The Gorlachevs
