Lucas Nunes was appointed regional communications coordinator for the Church of the Nazarene's South America Region. Lucas and his wife, Juliana, are new missionaries assigned to serve in the regional office in Pilar, Argentina.

Both were born in Brazil, where they married in 2012 and lived until their assignment to Argentina.

As local ministers at Castelo Church of the Nazarene, they served in youth and praise ministries. Lucas was the Nazarene Youth International coordinator for the Sao Paulo Southeast District, where he united 60 churches and 4,500 young people under the theme Unity and Holiness.

The couple wanted to serve God fully through their professions, beyond what they were already able to do in their local church and district and accepted the invitation to serve as missionaries.

Juliana will collaborate with Lucas in this ministry, helping to disseminate the resources produced by the regional ministries.
