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.

 
Some girls show off the Book of Hope that they just got.

Here are some of the young people that got the Book of Hope. Brazilians really take advantage of their school space. Schools are used in three shifts. There is a four hour shift in the morning, another in the afternoon, and then one at night, usually for the older kids. In this school there are older people learning to read too- so we are reaching kids from five years old, up to like fifty year old adults, in the same school building. That is a cool thing!


Josely, Hannah and Raquel get the kids warmed up with John 3:16 and some stretches.




Here we are practicing the skit for the Book of Hope project. This has been great, it has gotten a lot of people involved. Even Hannah and Raquel were in the skit. They love drama- and they are really good at it.


We took advantage of a nice day recently to wash the car. It has been raining a lot.
