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.

 
Check out the Moringa tree at http://www.treesforlife.org/moringa/

A friend of mine, a missionary in Haiti, is using a powder from this tree to treat people for worms. That alone would help take care of much of the malnourishment here on the Amazon. When you add in the nutritional value of the leaves, you have a powerhouse of a plant. I am very excited about the possibilities.

I am checking on getting some seeds here. If you have any info or experience with this, please drop me a message.
