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.

 
The tiles for the house are shown being unloaded from the truck and put up on the second floor.

Ah, what a beautiful sight!

An acrylic resin is painted on the tiles, to help them be more water resistant, and to help preserve them. It is a lot of work. We have had a four man team working on this for over a week.

Here is our construction guru, Tiago. He is a really nice guy, and we are really thankful that God brought us together. Here you can see the wood for the trusses being nailed up.


Tiago, sawing some wood.
