Pastor Mark Petric and Ohio Supt. Doug Clay
This is an update sent to me from the Ohio District Superintendant on the condition of Pastor Mark Petric, Pastor of New Life Assembly of God in Wellington, Ohio. For those who don’t know the story, a few weeks ago, Mark’s son turned a gun on Mark, shooting him in the face, and fatally wounding his wife Sue. Many of you in the church have been praying for Pastor Mark and have asked for updates. Here’s the latest news that I received just today. Thank you Team for your continued support in prayer!

This is a picture of Pastor Mark Petric and me (Doug Clay) at the hospital. His recovery is truly miraculous!
Mark is gaining strength every day. He is having his own spiritual renewal right at Cleveland Metro Hospital! Seriously, Mark told me that at times he feels the Lord’s presence in ways he never has before. He is reading through the book of Job and rereading 1Peter four times a day!
Pastor Mark asked me to convey his appreciation to you for your prayers. He is insistent that he can actually feel the prayer support of people and credits his amazing recovery to that. He would like continued prayer for an infection that has developed in his jaw. This may require some additional surgery and the removal of a couple of teeth, but Mark is believing God for a divine touch, so I told him we would believe with him!
It really is incredible…Mark is witnessing to the medical staff, ministering to people who come to visit him, and telling people how God is faithful to take the bad situations of life and use them for His glory.
I walked into the hospital fully intending on ministering to Mark, but left there feeling like he ministered to me!

My heart sincerely crys out for Pastor Mark Petric and his son. I pray for divine internal and external healing for Pastor Mark's body; I pray for internal healing to occur in Daniel's heart.
My father is also a pastor, we are all a part of the body of Christ, we will be praying for you. May the God of healing dwell in your midst Pastor Petric. May you receive the comfort of our Father in heaven. May he place an immense peace in your heart. Please consider the following verses.
Job: 2:9&10
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
ALLOW THE God and HIS ANGELS TO TAKE CARE OF YOU!!!

Yeah, that was a horrible thing for the whole church. My grandma goes there and the few times I've been there since then I can still feel the effects. I pray that God would give Pastor Mark strength.
Oh dear Lord. I just heard the terribly sad story of The Petric Family on E! My heart just BROKE for Pastor Petric, his wife, and his children. Something about hearing Pastor Petric and his sincere love and forgiveness of his son just touched me so deeply. I pray that Pastor Petric and his family have found peace. Although I can't explain with words how deeply sorry I am for the entire family, I hope my words and Prayers will help. God Bless you sir, you are amazing. You are an amazing Man of God. My heart breaks for you.
