John Janzen

John (known as JJ around ICYA because "John" was already taken) came to ICYA in 2019 after 6 years at Siloam Mission and a decade in Japan before that. Originally a Killarney farm boy, other than his time in Japan, JJ has lived in Winnipeg's north end since he was 18. He still lives there now with his wife Naomi, 3 sons, and a daughter-in-law. JJ worked as an educator in high school's and a university for most of his career. He is passionate about podcasts that most of his family consider boring, and making folk/roots music with his sons in The Janzen Boys family band.
