Visit with the Albararez Family




The other day Liz got to talking with some of our neighbours. They're incredibly adorable people, who attend everything we put on at the Community Centre. Mum, Maria, is just 33 years old and has 4 kids. Her mother and brother live with her also. They sleep together in a one room shack that has several partitions. The grandmother sleeps with her son, Maria sleeps with her 5 year old boy, her daughters (15 and 13) sleep together and Nelson, eleven years old, sleeps in an infant's cot.

They are unemployed and have little money. They get sick from time-to-time. It is now the wet season and they face daily flooding and a leaky roof. Their house smells. They do not have adequate facilities to maintain their household. Their country has been beaten and abused and they scramble to make their lives work. Only Jesus can save their souls, but what was his instruction to us. He told us to give to the poor...

Please consider helping us to help Maria today. We want to build her a new home (just one room, but with a cement floor, drainage and a proper roof). Please, consider how much you've been blessed and be a blessing to somebody who needs it. You didn't choose to be born into your wealth and Maria didn't choose to be born into her poverty. She is not lazy, she is not a thief, she's a young Mum with the burden of the World upon her shoulders, and she needs your help.

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' Matthew 25:34-36

Who are we? We are Capital on the Edge... We were sent out in 2008 by our home Church, Capital Edge Community Church in Canberra, Australia (CapitalEdge.org.au), to be missionaries in Latin America.

We are now based in Nicaragua, Central America, the poorest Spanish Speaking Country in the World. We are currently serving a community full-time near Cedro Galan (just outside of Managua). We currently run a school, foster home and community centre, as well as teach in local schools, pray in the children´s hospital and visit Tipitapa Prison.

Many thanks for the time you have taken to watch our video...
