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.

 
This trip back to the United States has been great. We had one scare, when we first got here to the U.S., Raquel had an asthma attack. We took her to the Emergency room in Marysville, and they sent us by ambulance to Children's Hospital. I can't say enough good about everyone, from the emergency staff, the ambulance staff, the children's hospital staff, they were all wonderful to us throughout the whole ordeal, and we sure appreciate everyone that was praying for us and lifting us up. After spending three days in intensive care, and another three in the hospital, we were really glad to get Raquel home.



We just want to say a special thank you to each one that has helped make this trip great, those that have supported us, prayed for us, helped set up the house for us to stay in, those that have given food and encouragement, to each one, I pray God's richest blessing on you!
