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 recently had our annual children’s day celebration. We gave out sandwiches, cookies, juice and pop. Luciene did a presentation of singing, and a puppet show for the kids. There was a group of kids from our church that also did a presentation. We had a good time, and God gave an abundance of food that we could share with the needy of the neighborhood.

Every one of these kids is precious to God. Investing in kids is something that always seems to have returns.
