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.

 
Last week we got a chance to take some friends and go and see "The Passion of the Christ", Mel Gibson's awesome movie. It is a work of art. Never has our generation has such a vivid portrayal of the sacrifice that Christ made for us. I have been praying for Mel Gibson, that God would keep him safe. I know that there are fears that he may become a target for radical islamic terrorists. Would you please join me in praying for him? Also, that God would guide him in deciding what should be his next project, and that it would also bring glory to God.
