Debra Ross is President of the Board of Directors for JumpStart
Sudan. She is a founding member of Indian Creek Community
Church in Olathe, KS and has served there as missions director
for 18 years. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from
Anderson University in 1978. The highlight of her college years
was studying in Mexico for a semester. She is the mother of a
teenage daughter and a grown son.
Debra has had a heart for the world since she was a young girl.
Her passion is to help hurting and forgotten people. After
becoming aware and praying for the needs in Sudan for several
years, she met Akot. She soon became his “American” Mom. She
encouraged the formation of JumpStart Sudan as a nonprofit and
was privileged to travel personally to Akon, Sudan in 2004. She
accepted the position as President of JumpStart Sudan upon her
return.
She values the giftedness that each board member brings to the
team. Debra looks forward to seeing Akon, Sudan move from a
point of needing humanitarian aid to a place of community
development.
Many of the photographs Debra took during the 2004 JumpStart
Sudan mission trip are found on this web site.
