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.

 
Six of us from the Igreja da Vinha Macapa were able to take part in a training for the Book of Hope, or the "Livro da Vida" as it is called here in Brazil. This is Daniel, he is a good trainer for doing dramas, we had a blast learning how to present the gospel in the schools here.


The training took place in the Igreja Batista Memorial. We learned a lot.


Luciene (far right) got together with Nora (far left), the leader of the YWAM base here in Macapa, to do a training for young women. It went really well.


There was a lot of personal ministry, and the Holy Spirit really moved. Lives were being restored.


The food was also good!
