Pastor Mark & Sue Petric

My heart was saddened to hear the word of friends from Ohio who’ve experienced a terrible tragedy in their home. Please keep Pastor Mark and his family in your prayers during this incredibly difficult time. Also, please pray for their son Daniel.

Calls of support for the family of Pastor Mark and Sue Petric are coming in from all over. The Petric family and the congregation of New Life Assembly of God in Wellington, Ohio are extremely grateful for such a tremendous outpouring of love.

As a result of the tragedy at their home on October 20, 2007, Sue was fatally wounded. She was 43 and was dearly loved by her family and many friends. Mark continues to recover at Cleveland Metro Hospital. Their 17-year-old daughter, Holly, a high school senior, and their 21-year-old daughter, Heidi, and her husband, Andy, continue to comfort each other in the company of many close relatives and friends. Their 16-year-old son, Daniel, remains in custody. Thank you for continuing to daily lift up this precious family and their many grieving loved ones at this very difficult time.

Ongoing grief counseling is available to the family as well as members of New Life AG. Interim ministry for weekly church services and coordination of church administration is being arranged in regular consultation with the church board.
