Candeo family, meet Mackenzie Barth!
STAFF ROLE: Salt Staff (part time)
FAVORITE THINGS: I enjoy reading, hiking, playing piano, and singing! My favorite foods are chicken and ice cream (not together!). I am also a cat person!
HOMETOWN: St. Michael, Minnesota
God, in His kindness, provided me with parents who love the Lord and raised me in a church family that was formed by the gospel.
At a young age God called me from death to life, and I was baptized at 9 years old. In 8th grade, God used mentors and His Spirit to cultivate a love and desire for His Word which transformed my walk with Him. As I came to college, God continued to sanctify me and taught me so much through joining Salt Company. Through being a Salt leader at Wartburg and going overseas for the summer, I saw God work in my life and so many other college students which led to a passion for college ministry.
HOW HAS YOUR PREVIOUS MINISTRY EXPERIENCES PREPARED YOU FOR THIS ROLE?
I have had the privilege of being a student leader with Salt Company for the past two years at Wartburg College. Getting to watch God work and grow Salt's reach at Wartburg has been a huge blessing. I also spent last summer in South East Asia on a mission trip with Salt. God revealed so much about Himself and who I am in Him through that summer!
As you step into your staff position, what has you excited?
I am so excited to continue to watch God work on Wartburg's campus and get to have a small role in what He is doing! He has far surpassed all I could have prayed for and I know He will do it again. I am also pumped to grow in my gifts as I am equipped and encouraged by an amazing team!
