Never Land




Never Land is a massive squatter area with no road access. It was a former dump site between two municipalities. Neither of these municipalities wanted to claim it as their own so it got the name Never Land and many squatters now inhabit the place. You have to take this small raft/boat to get to the other side. It costs one peso to cross over. When it is raining really hard and the water moves fast you are unable to cross so there is a very sketchy zip line available.
We met another missionary from IT that has a ministry in Never Land with his church. Every Sunday they hold an adult Bible study, a youth Bible study and children's program.

glad to see you med/mission in full swing will be praying for its outreach esp. the little girls situation.
could you explain neverland food/shelter/etc. seems much like the city slums but more extreme. sunday service sounds interesting and full for the it missionary. if he has a name we could pray 4 him also.
blessings, sondra
