Three from Philadelphia Church Perish in Fire
Posted by Terry White on January 13, 2012
The Ritzmans - Mark, Candi, Tytus & Zachariah
Prayer is requested for Mark and Candi Ritzman and their family. Mark is pastor of the Crossroads Grace Brethren Church in the Philadelphia (Frankford) area.
They have suffered a tragedy this week with the death of three regular attendees to Crossroads. Gloria and her two children, Krystal and Anthony, died in a fire at their apartment earlier this week. Gloria’s brother, Carl, also attends Crossroads. Here is a link to a news story on some of the details: article from ABC News .
Please pray for God’s comfort and strength for all those who are grieving and that God would use the Ritzmans and Crossroads to bring God glory through this situation and the memorial service, which Mark will be conducting.

Wow Mark. I heard abouy the fire in the local news but had no idea they were connected with your church. So sorry to learn this! Not only will we pray for you but we will ask our church to pray for your church family this week as well. That hurts everyone in your group emotionally. Trust God will work through this. Appreciate all you are doing for ministry!
