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.

 
I love this photo. The tension of the hungry lizard, and the beauty of the butterfly. Who will be around tomorrow to tell the story of this encounter, the lizard or the butterfly or both? Is the butterfly even aware that death is stalking him, that there are those whose intention is to kill him? Or is he like many today completely oblivious that there is an enemy stalking him, that wishes him dead?
