family-photo-2016-2198-2Asia-Pacific Region: The Asia-Pacific team is very excited to be welcoming a new family to the Region!

This upcoming February 2017, Rev. Lucas (Luke) and Molly Cole, along with their two daughters, Isabella and Ariana, will be leaving their current home and ministries in Wisconsin, and making their new home in Asia.

Molly will be serving at the Regional Office, assisting with personnel and mobilization, while Luke will be working alongside the Church Plant Facilitator, coaching and training to further the development and expansion of the Church of the Nazarene.

While new to the Region, Luke and Molly are definitely not new to ministry and missions. Molly has been serving in the mobilization department of Global Mission since 2007, in the role of Deputation Ministries Coordinator. She has worked diligently in handling deputation service scheduling as well as missionary deputation funds. Luke, an Ordained Elder, has been in pastoral ministry since 2010, serving as an Executive Pastor, co-leading a church plant in the Kansas City area for Arabic-speaking Christians, and most recently, serving as the Lead Pastor of Cross Point Church of the Nazarene on the Wisconsin District.

Luke and Molly are both alumni of Mount Vernon Nazarene University. In 2012, Luke graduated from Nazarene Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity.

Please join us in welcoming the Coles to the Asia-Pacific Region. Please also commit to praying for them as they travel, speak, and prepare for this new chapter in their lives!  If you would like to partner with them financially, you may follow this link.
