Mary, when my mom, Aurea Esther Sandoval, (used to babysit Sierra), Told me John Francis is with the Lord now, I became very said for you and your girls and will trust and pray God will carry you all through this and give you strength, comfort and peace. Everytime I think of you, I will pray for you. I've never forgotten you lighting the candles at my wedding 29 years ago and now my heart will light a candle for you in prayer. Love, Virginia (Sandoval) Geranio.

Brother John made a profound impact on my family when he prophesied over us on November 2010 and ended with, “BE ENCOURAGED”, which we learned was a major theme in his life as a prophetic encourager in the Lord. At my Dad’s homegoing service in January, we played the CD recording of Brother John’s prophesy, which was a tremendous blessing and encouragement to the audience and to the minister who presided during Dad's funeral.
Mom and I attended Brother John’s homegoing service today at Voice of Pentecost, and were deeply touched by the tribute and background of this soldier in God’s Army, now promoted to the Lord’s eternal presence in glory. Truly, our deep loss is heaven’s gain. Our heartfelt prayers especially go out to the family. May you experience God’s love, protection and comfort in a special way in the coming weeks and months. God bless you, and God be with you. With deepest sympathy.

God's peace be with the family. I appreciated how Brother John always remembered my name when I would periodically attend the 3:00pm Youth Services. He truly displayed God's heart for His people. We will miss him.

I am saddened by this news. Pastor John Francis was very special to my family and I. Really appreciated his love, devotion, and "trust" for God. Awesome prophetic gift. Probably gave me the most important prophetic word I have ever received that made a great impact on my life. I and my family wishes the great God of comfort will comfort Mary, girls, family, friends, and Voice of Pentecost. Much love. The Walkers.

John and Mary,
The last we saw eachother I was 14 years old. Out of all the people I have met in my life, I will always remember the commitment you both have for God and each other. Both of you succeeded in changing a young girls life. John, you will always be in my heart
God bless

I am so shocked and saddened by this news. I haven't seen John for a long time but we were good friends in junior high. He had the best smile and he always made me laugh! My thoughts and prayers are with John's family. God bless. Carole (Fischer) Lamb

It hurts when close friends leave to be with the Lord.
My prayers are with the Francis family and V.O.P. John Francis was one of the best youth pastor to help guide me in my walk with the Lord. He was a man of great compassion.
You could away open your heart to him and he would point you to the only hope we have Jesus Christ.
I thank God for the time I had with him, it has blessed my life.

John,
I reached for the phone last night to call you and talk, as we often did, about the Giants game. This happened twice. I finally realized, I don't need a phone anymore, and you've got the best seat in the house.
Miss you fishing buddy.
