Kenner Moises Obando Espinoza

Kenner joined The Isaiah Project in 2011.  Kenner is one of our most inquisitive little boys in the Project.  You can pretty much bet that any time Kenner approaches you, you are about to get hit with a question that you have probably never been asked before, then again it may be one that Kenner himself has already asked you over a dozen times   Before accepting Kenner into the Project in this our second year of existence, I would always have this random kid say hi to me or remind me that he is related to one of other girls in the Project when I would pass through our community.  Once the year came to a close this kid started reminding me of how he too wanted to be in the Project and whether or not I was going to let him in or not.  Yup . . . this was Kenner, and I guess you could say he won me over

Kenner has settled down a bit for us here in 2012, which is great because there was a time where we thought he might not make it.  After a few altercations last year with Kenner and showing him “tough love”, I think he finally came to understand that we have rules and discipline because we love our kids, not because we want to punish them.  Kenner is now 11 years old and in the 4th grade.  Kenner has shared with us that he enjoys reading God’s Word; we certainly pray that that is true and if so that what he reads would take root in his little heart.  We at the Project understand that this is an act of God and that all we can do is encourage and pray for these kids to follow Him; won’t you pray with us?
