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.

 
It is what, 7 pm, and I finally have been able to start downloading e-mail, has been going for about 15 minutes now, and still going for only 25 messages. I don't know what the deal is, but it is so painfully, horribly slow that I have come to hate trying to get online. I need a good dose of high-speed connection me thinks.

Blood pressure went through the roof again, spent some time at the health clinic, doing different medicines, until they finally got the pressure down enough for me to go home. It was looking pretty dodgy there for a while, thought I would end up in the emergency room. I sure appreciate your prayers for me for my blood pressure, these past couple of weeks have been up and down, and has at times been pretty scary.
