Aquilla Nash - The Dove Christian Fellowship

Aquilla (pronounced: ah-Quil-ah) has gone by Aquilla R Nash and Aquilla Wilkins. She married Samuel L Wilkins on January 9th 1954 and they divorced on November 15th 1989. She was 52 when she married Verna, age 65, on September 9th 1990 in Gregg Texas. According to her website, Acquilla Nash is referenced as a "prophetic whisper" and has the ability to communicate sincerely with her congregation - often healing through her words. She became religious in 1961 following complications of her second son's birth. She was essentially dying, and while medical staff attempted to keep her alive, she found God through giving herself to Him. In those moments, she decided to commit the rest of her life to God. After her recovery she got baptized and a few years later felt a calling to go into full-time ministry. She is the founder of Aquilla Nash ministries and The Dove Christian Retreat in Texas. She is often interviewed in various Christian communities and some of her videos can be found online. Her son, pastor Larry Wilkins also ministers in The Dove Christian Fellowship. He traveled with his mother throughout his teenage and college years and in 1982 began preaching.
