To empower world-changers to thrive in life by walking with God, aligning with their true design, and discipling the nations.
Rooted is designed for college-aged, hungry followers of Jesus who desire to deepen their faith, awaken their identity, and activate their callings in the context of life-changing community.
In January, we will fly in participants from all over the country for a three day kickoff intensive.
February through April, evening sessions will be offered virtually for out-of-state students and in-person at SAMBICA for local students. We will conclude our training with a culminating three-day intensive in late-May.
Beginning in June, participants will inspire other summer staff to live with BOLD FAITH at SAMBICA as they share the Gospel with 3,000 campers.
Participants then reunite in March of 2026 to celebrate God's goodness with a capstone trip to Israel to meet God's chosen people and walk in the footsteps of Jesus.

March 2026 - Capstone Trip to Israel
In summer of 2020, we had a dream of helping young leaders discover and align with their God-given design. We wanted to help them walk intimately with God, know their true identity, and boldly carry out God's calling on their lives. We recruited our first Rooted cohort in January 2021, and have trained four cohorts since. We are inspired by their personal transformation and the impact they have had on campers, summer staff, the people of Israel, and their communities back home.
We are excited for all God has in store for 2025 as we welcome our new Rooted 5.0 participants and take our Rooted 3.0 & 4.0 cohorts to Washington D.C. in September 2024!
SAMBICA has partnered with Passages for the past four years to bring Christian students on life-changing trips to the Holy Land.
Our plans to visit Israel are currently on hold due to the national hostilities facing the Holy Land. We plan to resume travel when our ministry partners deem it safe. Until this time we are pursuing other Biblically and historically significant travel opportunities for our participants.
To learn more about this program and what it looks like to encounter Israel through the Rooted Discipleship Program, visit the Passages website!
