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.

 

Moringa has become a family project. Here we are stripping the leaves off of the stems. I am experimenting on how to dry the leaves for future use. There are tons of seeds right now, we are trying to harvest them so that we will have seed available for a larger project. We have been experimenting with growing them in our back yard just to get familiar with it. We are very excited about the possibilities that moringa can provide in water purification, in health treatment, and in providing much needed nutrition to the poor and undernourished.



Luciene's mom came to visit us, and to help out since Luciene was having the health problems. It has been great having her here with us. Here she is with Nicolas.

Josiah is so cool!
