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.

 
The sky clouded up quickly, as it often does, and the wind started blowing and whipping about. I grabbed the basin to run out and get the clothes that were on the line by the mango tree. With the wind, the mangoes started falling all around me. It was literally raining mangoes! We have been drinking mango juice, eating mangoes, freezing the pulp, and giving away sacks full of mangos. Truly the harvest is plentiful.
