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.

 
We have long used a Davnor water filter that we bought from Canada, the last time that we were in the United States. Greg Staub and his family have been working on the water filters, and we recently had the opportunity to help place one at our worship leaders house (Elizeu, pictured below, and Kaylas) house, and one at the church. This is such a great ministry, giving a clean cup of water in Jesus' name. We are so happy to be able to be a part of providing clean water, and through that, better health. A big thanks to the Staubs, Davnor water filters, and Living Stones Fellowship for this blessing.

Elizeu looks on as Greg hauls the water filter into his house. Those things are heavy!


Greg is pouring in the sand and gravel with Elizeu's help.


These kids look like they are wondering what in the world those strange Americans are doing.
