Rooted Gap Year: Unleashing New Leaders

October 18, 2024 • Roger Viksnes

This October, during the DMC Friday series, we’re featuring the North American Mission’s Forge Ahead campaign, supporting church planting, vitality, and youth ministry across the CLB. Today, hear from Rev. Roger Viksnes as he shares about the Rooted Gap Year ministry at Tuscarora Inn & Conference Center, PA. Rooted is a nine-month-long discipleship adventure designed to help young adults dig deep into the soil of God’s love and to trust the Holy Spirit to blossom them into Christ-honoring leaders.
