Jill I. Vampola (Weller)

Born and raised in San Diego, Jill has worked in Grants Administration at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for the past 22 years. She went on her first mission trip to Kenya in November 2006 with a team led by Pastor Ray Sparling and Rev. Mark Swarner. She felt God's call and responded by moving to Kenya in April 2008 as a short term missionary. Jill helped establish Elma Barnett Children's Centre alongside Roy and Helen Stover (long-time missionaries in the area) and the EBCCK board. She returned to the U.S. in 2009 to take care of parents, but still visits Kenya about 3 times per year, maintaining residences on both continents.
