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.

 
Dia da Bandeira (Day of the Flag)

Our church held an evangelistic outreach in a nearby park on the Day of the Flag holiday. We had a special dance team trained by Rachel Theiss and Hannah Staub, John Staub played some cool tunes, and Elizeu lead some worship. We had a great time, it was cool to see so many young people dancing and having a good time. I preached a short message.

During the event, we were called to a neighboring house to cast a demon out of a girl, she had destroyed her room, the bed was lying in pieces, and the family was desperate. I asked two ladies to go with me since it was a woman that was demonized. We prayed for her, and she was dramatically liberated, praise God.
