About Never Evanescent

Never Evanescent is solely comprised of volunteers. The staff endlessly pursues personal, professional, and organizational training to ensure continued experience and expertise in the realm of anti-human trafficking operations.* In addition to daily operations, fundraising, and speaking engagements, the small team travels in support of current and future missions both domestically and overseas.

The Never Evanescent lantern was intentionally designed to represent the organization's vision. The light emanating from the lantern symbolizes our efforts to remove darkness and represents preventing human trafficking. The lantern itself points to investigation and identifying those lost in the darkness, working in tandem with the light, the lantern is the tool for removing darkness. The shepherd's crook is for retrieving those who are lost. Finally, the butterfly depicts new life, and is representative of our aftercare efforts for survivors.

Our Origin

Seth McAnally, Zach McAnally, and Hunter Worthing founded Never Evanescent after years of talking about being called by the Holy Spirit to address the horror of human trafficking. The countless conversations typically ended with a familiar “let’s think about what we can do” or “once we are at this [insert stage of life] we can devote time to this.” As it turns out, there is never “perfect timing” and life never gets less busy.

Never Evanescent originated while Seth and Zach were both on active duty in the military, Seth in the U.S. Marine Corps and Zach in the Army; Hunter was working as a full-time network technician. Life was busy, however, when you are called to act, you must act. As a result, we founded Never Evanescent with resolve and bold expectations, and as we did so, Seth stated, “Human trafficking is a Goliath; we are small but David only needed one stone. We serve and unfathomable God; we will not dream small. We will fight.”
