We know it has been a little quiet here. But behind the scenes? Rooted has been moving!

It's been a busy summer for Roger and Jenny, sharing about Rooted and seeing students old and new. A class of fourteen students arrives September 12, preparations are in full swing, and the Carriage House is being transformed into additional student living space. These photos offer just a glimpse of everything taking shape.

Read the full update on the blog to see what God has been doing and learn how you can pray for and support Rooted in the weeks ahead.

This week has been such an encouragement.

When we launched our Week of Impact campaign, one of our goals was to see 100 people invest in the future of Rooted.

By God's grace, 101 people said yes.

Together, those gifts have helped raise $25,224 so far, and we're still waiting on a few mailed gifts to arrive.

More than the dollars raised, we're grateful for what those numbers represent: people who believe in young adults, discipleship, and the work God is doing through Rooted.

To everyone who gave, prayed, shared, encouraged, and followed along throughout the campaign, thank you.

We're excited to see how God will use these gifts in the lives of future Rooted students.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine..." -Ephesians 3:20

Only a few hours remain in our Week of Impact campaign!

Because of your generosity, we’ve now reached $21,041 toward our $30,000 matching challenge and 59 donors toward our goal of 100 donors.

That means we still need 41 more donors to unlock an additional $10,000 gift before the campaign closes tonight.

Every gift matters. Every donor matters. And every act of generosity helps invest in the next generation of Christ-centered leaders through Rooted Gap Year.

Help us finish strong in these final hours.

Good morning, friends!

Rooted Director Roger Viksnes has a special message for you on this final day of Week of Impact.

We are incredibly grateful for every person who has supported, prayed for, and invested in Rooted this week. There’s still time to help us reach our goals before the campaign closes tonight - including our 100 donor goal that unlocks an additional $10,000 gift.

We hope you’ll take a moment to hear Roger’s heart for this ministry and consider coming alongside what God is doing through Rooted.

This is why we're passionate about Rooted.

Over the past year, these students have grown in their faith, discovered God's calling, built lasting friendships, and learned what it means to follow Christ more deeply.

And this was only the second year.

As we celebrate what God has done through these students, we can't help but wonder what He might build through Rooted in the years ahead.

But that future depends on people who believe in the mission and are willing to invest in it.

As our Week of Impact enters its final weekend, would you consider becoming one of our 100 donors?

Every gift is matched. Every donor matters.

Help us invest in the future of Rooted.

We've officially passed the halfway mark in dollars raised!

Thanks to 34 generous donors, we've raised $17,255.95 toward our $30,000 matching challenge.

One of our biggest goals this week is also participation. We're hoping to reach 100 donors because every gift represents someone choosing to invest in the next generation through Rooted. Right now, we're looking for 66 more people to join us!

Whether your gift is large or small, every donation is matched dollar-for-dollar, and every donor brings us closer to unlocking an additional $10,000 gift.

Thank you for helping make Rooted possible.

As the 2026 class looks ahead, we are also celebrating what God has done with the Rooted Week of Impact.

These students are stepping into ministry, school, careers, and wherever God leads next - and their lives have been shaped because people chose to invest in the next generation of Christ-centered leaders.

So far, 29 donors have helped raise $12,214 toward our $30,000 matching challenge. Once we reach 100 donors, an additional $10,000 gift will be unlocked!

Every gift matters. Every giver matters. And every prayer and partnership helps make Rooted possible.

Thank you for believing in what God is doing through Rooted. 🌿

We're almost halfway there.

Thanks to 29 generous donors, we've raised $12,214.37 toward our $30,000 matching challenge.

Every gift is helping future Rooted students grow deeper in their faith, discover God's calling, and build a foundation for a lifetime of following Christ.

And every donor matters. Our goal is 100 donors, which will unlock an additional $10,000 gift for the program.

God is already doing more than we could have imagined. Thank you for helping make Rooted possible.

These stories are the reason Rooted exists.

Over the past year, students have grown in their faith, built lasting community, and taken important steps toward God's calling on their lives. But experiences like this don't happen on their own.

They happen because people choose to invest in the next generation.

As part of our Week of Impact, 19 donors have already helped raise $8,575 toward a $30,000 matching challenge. We're also working toward a goal of 100 donors, which will unlock an additional $10,000 gift.

Every gift this week is doubled, and every donor helps make future Rooted stories possible.

Thank you for giving, sharing, and praying.
