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.

 
Projeto Calçado, Missão SGM no Brasil

Luciene recently did a great training by Projeto Calçado (Pavemnt Project), a ministry of Missão SGM no Brasil. The intensive training was how to work with at risk kids, and counseling kids. She really liked it, and learned a lot.

Here is the class, with the instructors.

As Luciene's pastor, I had the pleasure of symbolically handing her her kit of counseling and evangelism materials.

Here is Luciene, with Fabiane from YWAM Recife, and Val from Santana.
