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.

 
“Mom, they must be really rich. They have a special machine”, our six year old daughter Raquel told Luciene recently. “It’s like a box, and they put popcorn in, and push some buttons, and it comes out all done.”

“It’s called a microwave”, Luciene told her. “We used to have one in the United States, when you were younger.”

But she doesn’t remember.
