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.

 
Finally, after years of planning and dreaming, our water filter ministry is one step closer to being realized. One of the big problems here is with parasites, worms and ameoba, and all kinds of nasty water borne illnesses. With this mold, we can begin to make concrete biosand filters, which can virtually eliminate these problems. Our friends, the Staubs, helped bless us with this filter mold which came from PAZ in Santarem. What a blessing! We pray that we could soon get it up and operating, that God would be glorified through this filter ministry, and that people would see the love of God through this very practical ministry of providing clean and healthy drinking water. We sure appreciate your prayers, that God would raise up the right person to take this ministry to where it needs to go.
