On the 28th of February 2001, Buck and Luciene moved to the Amazon Basin of Brazil. We lived in Macapá, right on the equator. Why would a web designer give up his career and take his family from their comfortable life in Columbus, Ohio, USA, to live on the Amazon River? We came with a vision to save the Amazon, to tell people about Jesus, and plant a Vineyard church. We have planted a church, and we are turning it over to the national leaders, heading back to the States in Sept. 2009.

 
Here are our new prayer requests. If you don't receive these by e-mail, and would like to, just send subscribe to our e-mail prayer letter by sending an e-mail to Schmidt_Newsletter-subscribe@yahoogroups.com


Greetings from the Equatorial Amazon Dear Prayer partners!

Prayer Requests

1. We are in a season of intense spiritual warfare, and would like to ask your prayer covering, especially over relationships.
2. Please pray that our pastors from the States, John and Cathy Lieb, would be able to come down to visit soon and see the work here, that all of the needs would be met for that.
3. The foundation of the house is almost done. We have put a wall up around the land, dug a well, put the septic system in, built the water box that we need, built a storage shed to store the construction material, and put in the foundation. Please join us in prayer that the rest of the funds that we need to finish the house will be provided by God before we have to be out of our rental house in October.
4. Please pray that God would send people to work with the children’s ministry, people with a heart to evangelize and reach the lost youth.
5. Pray that God would open doors, that His hand would be on us supernaturally, and that we could grow in favor in the sight of God and man.
6. Please pray with us that God would bless our support team: every person who gives of their time to layout, fold, and send newsletters, everyone who prays for us, everyone that financially supports us, those that take care of our finances, our taxes, our mail. We couldn’t be here without heroes like you, praying for us, and supporting us. May God richly bless you, each and every one.
