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.

I Feira das Nações (1st Fair of the Nations)
25th through the 27th of November


Vineyard Macapa (Igreja da Vinha Macapa – www.vinhamacapa.com ) participated in the 1st Fair of the Nations that was held at the Marco Zero Monument, right in the middle of the world.

It is practically in our back yard, we are one of the churches closest to the monument, so it was a great opportunity for us to meet people, and for people to get to know us and the Vineyard movement.

Mayla Andrade prepared some really nice boards about the Vineyard movement, vineyard values, etc., and some cool photo boards. We took a TV and put on the Dwell Vineyard worship DVD, and that really drew people. We had a dance team from our church perform also. We are excited to see what doors God will continue to open through the relationships that we formed over these couple of days.


This was our stand.
