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.

 
Newton and I just got back this morning from the InterVinha in Brasilia. I am very glad that we went , we had a great time. We met a lot of good people. We got to meet Mark Fields, Roger Williams, and Steve Nicholson, among others. We got to form relationships with some of the main Vineyard pastors from Brazil. We were much encouraged, and very excited about the partnership possibilities with some like-minded pastors that we met. We would ask for your continued prayer that we could continue to grow in favor of both God and man.
