July 23, 2026 — Local pastor, community leader, and first-time author Apostle William E. Nash Jr. is sharing one of the most personal stories of his life in his new book, The Day That Changed My Life Forever.
After the heartbreaking loss of his son, Nash walked through overwhelming grief, unanswered questions, and the challenge of continuing to lead others while healing himself. Instead of allowing tragedy to define him, he transformed his pain into a message of hope, healing, and purpose.
As the founder and pastor of House of Refuge Apostolic Ministries and founder of W.E.N. Ministry, Nash has dedicated his life to helping people overcome life’s greatest challenges. His book offers encouragement to anyone who has experienced loss, trauma, depression, or life’s unexpected turning points.
This inspiring local story is more than the launch of a book—it is a testimony of resilience, faith, and the power of finding purpose after pain. It is a story that will resonate with families throughout East Texas and beyond.
