About 3 a.m. Friday, Elba Acosta awakened and instead of dosing back to sleep got out of bed and dropped to her knees in prayer. Acosta recounted her experience Tuesday night at a Latino storefront church in a small commercial strip on Shallowford Road across from Target. Just a handful, including children, attended the service at Iglesia Con Cristo en las Nubes (Church with Christ in the Clouds), just four days after the ministry’s founder and pastor — 66-year-old Cristobal Cruz Sanchez — was killed in a car crash Friday around noon on Cleveland Highway near Clermont.
