Sergio Cisneros
Sergio was the Father to Cassandra Cisneros. Cassandra, is not just a blessing to Transfiguration Church, but a great leader & friend to this community of people here in the house of God. Sergio, Loved his daughter so much, and when he found out that his daughter was serving in the house of God, he was so very proud of her. Pastor Michael said if he was with us today he would be in the front row with his Bible, listening to the word of God, and falling in love with his daughters growth every time she would pray in front of the church. But we know now that Sergio is in a different realm now full of excitement and joy from our Lord Jesus Christ watching his daughter grow deeply in love with our Lord. Sergio will deeply be missed, and his legacy and love for the faith now lives though his daughter in the House of Transfiguration Church. Amen
