Tragic News-- Please Pray

Friends, Nikki Pappas forwarded this to me yesterday. Martha Berg's (Smith) husband Phil died this week. Martha was a dear friend of mine in College, as well as a friend of Nikki Pappas (they were roommates). Phil and Martha worked for the Peacemaking initiative caled Shevet Achim Shevet Achim.

Please Pray for Martha and her Children as they navigate this horrible tragedy.
