Support Nica-Talent (Yader)



Today we are asking you to consider supporting (sponsoring) a Latin Dancer (bachata, salsa, merengue, etc), Yader - a lad who comes from the poor barrio of Cedro Galan, on the outskirts of Managua, and who is a gifted dancer, having his whole life in front of him.

Yader is a young man of just 16 years, unemployed and in his second last year of high school. Yader now lives at Capital Edge Community Village, helping to train young students in dancing whilst also being discipled.

Nicaragua is a country that lacks male Christian leadership and is currently on a course set for destruction. We need to physically support the young Christian men who are already serving the Lord, and help them to achieve positions of influence in their communities, whereby they can make a difference. Are you prepared to sponsor Yader for just $100 per month?

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

We need your help. Yader is a young man with great potential. He is a Christian young man, believing with his whole heart in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He has the ability to affect change on those within his sphere of influence. Please consider your role in the life ofvYader - we simply cannot do it without you.

To support Yader please do one of the following:

1. E-mail us: CapitalontheEdge@gmail.com

2. Visit our Webpage and make a contribution (we will contact you via e-mail):

Capital-on-the-Edge.blogspot.com

3: Contact our Church to arrange a payment plan: CapitalEdge.org.au

Who are we? We are Capital on the Edge... We were sent out in 2008 by Capital Edge Community Church in Canberra, Australia (CapitalEdge.org.au), to help fulfill the Great Commission, sharing the love of Jesus and making disciples.

Based in Nicaragua, Central America, the poorest Spanish Speaking Country in the World, we currently serve as a community center, community school, and foster home.

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

POST by RENZ: Just Dance!


Yesterday was Friday, and every Friday is always the craziest day of all because we have school in the morning and at night we have our youth group for the community.

Nica´s are very good at dancing and they love to do it. At youth group, we have different activities that the people can do. We also have competitions and yesterday we had a dancing competition.

The different types of dancing that they could do were break dancing, Latino dancing, or techno.

The week before, we had put flyers out and told everyone about it. Also we had sheets of paper for people to sign up and some people signed up but hardly anybody wanted to. I think they didn’t want to because are shy and nine out of ten people here are guys so they did not have many partners to go with.

The event started out pretty good. We had Alex (the dude that was going to be the DJ) and he had all the music that we wanted or so he said.

We went to a school because we wanted to ask them if they could come and do their independence dance for the opening of the competition. We talked to the director of the school but he said that the instruments could not be used for something outside of school at short notice and that in three weeks they could do their presentation.

We went home and everyone was cleaning the house. I started making dinner but then my dad had just got back from the store and had bought enchiladas for everyone so we ate that instead.

Then we all got ready for the night and made posters for the people that were going to compete.

All of a sudden the power went out and everyone is shouting and screaming. Then, a few minutes later, the power came back on and we were so grateful because youth group was just about to start.

Everyone went outside and the doors to the house were locked. People were swimming in the pool and playing soccer and we were just about to start the competition when the power went out again.

Somebody got cut on their foot from the pool and so my mum had to go into the house and get her ¨medical supplies¨. We were losing our crowd and the only thing that we could do was wait.

Finally the power came back on and so we started the competition.

The first type of dance was break dance. It was only the tricksters/break dancing dudes that participated. Jonny obviously won. He's very good at dancing.

Techno was the second thing and only Rene and Beycker were the only people that danced for that and Rene won.

For Latino dancing a bunch of people danced but only a few got into it.

So far, it was a disaster. When my mum wanted Alex to say something in the microphone, he didn’t do it and so she would have to do it but she doesn’t know that much Spanish so it was a fail.

Some of my sisters and my friends which are twins had done a routine with some other friends of ours and that was really cool because it made everyone excited and it made the night not turn out as bad as it would have been if they did not do their dance routine.
