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.

 
Zadok, our big male Rottweiler, hurt his paw, and over the weekend, it swelled up really bad. It was full of maggots Monday, pretty ugly. My friend John Ene and I pulled maggots out for about three hours Monday. The vets cell phone was turned off all weekend, I finally reached him Tuesday, he came and sewed him up, medicated him and all, but he is really bad off. He had an IV. He seems to be getting better. I thought he wasn't going to make it there for a while.
