Members of the 2011 JumpStart Sudan Board
 
   
Janis Ricker, Board Member
Janis Ricker met Akot Arec when she volunteered to help fundraise for the second JumpStart Sudan mission to southern Sudan in 2003.  Janis made her first trip to Africa in 2004, visiting Kenya and Uganda.

Janis currently works as the Operations Manager for a nonprofit organization, Sudan Sunrise (www.sudansunrise.org), which was founded in early 2006.  The mission of Sudan Sunrise is to facilitate reconciliation and Christian mission by furthering the work of Sudanese Christians coming to the aid of their former persecutors, the Muslims of Darfur, and extending Christian ministries of relief, development, evangelism, and discipleship throughout Sudan. 

Janis worked in the securities industry for over 20 years before joining Sudan Sunrise.
