A post from Maddie Lutz!

Hey this is Maddie Lutz! Oh my goodness, God has done some incredible things this trip. We have this thing called an ATL. That stands for Ask the Lord. We first meet together within our group and talk and pray for God to open our hearts and our ears to hear what he wants us to hear. Then we broke up individually and prayed and made a list of every thought that came into our minds. We then met back together and combined our lists. It was amazing to see that 3 or 4 people in our groups had the same thoughts or visions. We knew it was from God. One thing that God showed practically all of us was the color purple. We didn’t know what it meant at the time but boy did we find out later. After some more prayer to confirm what we heard the first time we left the church/house and walked to the place God told us about. One of those places was a train station with a tunnel. As we were walking we saw a woman in a purple dress. This was one of the visions God gave our group. We felt called to follow her into the subway station. We did as God was leading and it turns out that she and her friend were both having serious financial problems. We prayed for them and paid for their subway fare and then left. Later on while we were on the subway Chad who was in our group for the day saw the lady in the purple dress! It was amazing to think about how impossible it was for us to see her. Considering that even if she had gotten on in a different door we wouldn’t have seen her! It was definitely God all the way! It was amazing. Before I go to eat dinner I want to say hello to my parents and my sister. I love and miss you all so much and I can’t wait to tell you these amazing stories in person! J
