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.

 
I met some gringos yesterday, right on our street, just down from our house. Shawn Blore from Canada, and Douglas Engle from the US. They had a GPS, and the equator is actually right on our street, very near our house. Shawn is a "Latin America Correspondent", and Doug is a photographer. Shawn's site is www.shawnblore.com, and Doug's, with great photography, is www.douglasengle.com.
