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 good news of great joy! Our new baby, Nicolas Joseph Costa Schmidt was born this morning, the 23rd of May, at 7 AM, the day after Luciene’s birthday. He was 3 kilos, 180 grams.

Thanks for your prayers, please continue to pray for baby and mommy, that the baby would get the breastfeeding thing quickly, and for the health of baby Nicolas and Luciene.

Nicolas, minutes old.
