The Farm Girl


Hey! I'm Audrey, but most people call me Aud! Coincidence? I was a freshman Business Major at Sterling College this past year and also a member of the Lady Warrior Volleyball Team! To be honest, I tried to deny God's calling for me to go on a mission trip this summer, feeling that I had other plans in store. However, God has truly revealed to me that it is my time to go and I cannot wait to go with such a great team! I come from a small town in NW Kansas and I am definitely a farm girl! I love spending time with my family, especially helping my dad! I am very outgoing, and sometimes rather loud! Thank you for all your prayers and support! Yay Kenya!

The Mountain Girl


My name is Shannon and I am from beautiful Colorado where I live with my awesome parents and brother. I will be a senior in college majoring in business. I am hoping to get into Real Estate once I graduate. I love the mountains, hiking, four wheeling, taking naps, playing volleyball and basketball, and being around people. I am very excited to travel with such a wonderful group of people and to see how God will use us and change us through this experience.

The Leader

"Hey, my name is Seth Svaty. I have the privilege of leading this incredible team to Kenya! I'm a Kansas native, born and raised on the family farm. My wife and I both attended Sterling College, and following seminary at Princeton we were called back to this place we love. I am pastoring the United Presbyterian Church of Sterling and teaching at the college as an adjunct. When I'm not at work, I'm definitely at play with my three young kids: Noah, Micah, and Cora. I enjoy hiking, camping, working on the farm - really any kind of outdoor activity. Occasionally I've been known to strap on a kilt and play the bagpipes. My thanks to everyone supporting us prayerfully and financially. I am so excited about this trip!!!
