Salt Company STORIES

Lizzie Ostrem

Coming to college, Lizzie was a new believer with little experience or direction in walking in healthy Christian community. She was carrying the weight of depression and had no idea what her spiritual growth could look like in this new place. But God had a plan for her. Her roommate, Adelle, came to college looking for a healthy college ministry and brought Lizzie along with her to Salt Company Kickoff.

Lizzie was connected to two Salt Leaders at Kickoff, but her C-Group ended up only being just her and her two leaders. While her leaders may have been discouraged by this, it was exactly what God had planned and exactly what Lizzie needed. She describes this time as a “microwave of spiritual growth and maturity” that ultimately led to her baptism during her freshman year.

From there, she stepped onto Salt Leadership for the next three years, where she saw God heal her from depression through her D-Group, where she learned how to confess her sin to others, and how to not just grow as a disciple of Christ but to make disciples according to the great commission. During this time, she also went on a Global Trip to Bangkok, Thailand which God used to stir her heart to sacrifice not just her summer, but her vision for the future for the mission of God.

Now, Lizzie is a Ministry Leader on staff with The Salt Company where she is leading outreach efforts to freshmen in college. God is using Lizzie to reach the very same kind of people that she was, and she gets to take part in watching God move in them the way that he moved in her.
