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 haven't been doing a very good job of keeping things up to date here. I just thought I would let you know where I have been hanging out. I have been hanging out at http://www.shapevine.com/ where I have my personal page at http://www.shapevine.com/holylamb/

I have also been hanging out at http://www.theforgottenways.org/

The Blogosphere is really maturing, and there are some awesome things that I have been checking out, for example at http://blakehuggins.com/2008/04/14/missional-synchroblog-what-does-missional-living-look-like/ where the synchroblog idea really caught my eye. I have found it really cool to see the question of what does missional living look like answered by all those different people with all of the different viewpoints.

I especially liked the Indian Taxi Fund example of missional living, which you can check out here, here, and especially here. I really like Josh's thinking on social networks and what they hold for the future of missions. Very interesting stuff, I think he is on to something that could change the way we think about missions, keep an eye on him. I'm sure God is going to use him in extraordinary ways to bring the kingdom!
