Paden + Allison's Story
Paden and Allison Lipe met in an unconventional way - doing musical theatre in college. After being cast as The Beast and Belle in their university's production of Beauty & the Beast, Paden and Allison began a deep friendship that would later turn into a blossoming marriage.
Paden grew up on a family farm in South Carolina, while Allison - daughter of STC Founders, Bob and Tessa Yeater - grew up on the mission field.
After getting married and completing college, Paden and Allison felt God calling them to be missionaries. At the beginning of 2021, they packed up their lives and moved to Guatemala, unsure of how God was going to use their various artistic gifts + passions for the Gospel. After only a few month, a door opened for them to open an arts program, called the Guatemala Academy of Performing Arts (GAPA). For the past several years, they have been using theatre and music to reach young artists in Guatemala with the best News of all time.
​
Allison and Paden joined Team STC, officially, in 2022. They are currently based in Greenville, South Carolina.
Allison is the team and intern coordinator for STC, helping teams plan their trips down to Guatemala and leading the summer internship program.
