Page 196: Ryan Senters: Dad of 11 Transforms Foster Kids’ Lives  

Hanai is a Hawaiian term for “adopted” or “chosen” family and it is a really effective way to describe Ryan and Sara Senters. When Ryan was younger, he was all about chasing significance. But then God gave him a heart for vulnerable kids. In their 17 years of marriage, Ryan and Sara have been parents to 11 kids- two biological and nine foster kids they have adopted. But their passion and willingness to trust God has led them on a wild journey of faith. Their story is so remarkable, People Magazine and CBS Morning News have featured stories about their family. Ryan and Sara never imagined they would be parents to 11 or help provide family for hundreds more, but once they heard God’s call on their lives, they could not look back. Ryan and Sara are the founders of Ohana, a foster care agency with 40 homes in Arizona and Hanai Coffee, where kids aging out of the foster system find hope, job training and life skills.
