About this project
8/8/11 - 5:00 PM
Total Raised: $4,305 + 450 (in cash) = $4,755
This is crazy. Thank YOU so much. Your love and support have blown me away. I never ever ever expected to even come close to Tier #4. We are a mere $250 away from reaching the $5k mark... and I've already made the call to my out-of-town worship leader friends. We're already booking flights. It's happening.
I also wanted to let you know, unfortunately, any backers who pledge $50 or more will not be able to have their names printed on the back of my album.
Due to timelines and scheduling, in order to get the album done on time by August 20th, we need to submit all designs much sooner than expected.
To all of you who have backed me with at least $50: I CANNOT WAIT TO SHOW THIS ALBUM TO YOU! I'm certain that this album will not only be visually amazing- but I'm also certain that the music and message of the album will affect tons of hearts.
Thank you all for the love and support. Keep on spreading the word. God bless you all.

ALBUM RELEASE NIGHT - AUGUST 20TH - 7PM - Scottsdale Bible Church (High School Room)
What is this?
Eight years ago, through the encouragement and support of my family and friends, I decided to pick up a guitar and start leading worship for my youth group. Today, eight years later, I am again leaning on the support of my friends and family to make this project a reality.
Last summer I decided to put everything all on the line- my fears, dreams and insecurities- and I finally recorded my first batch of original songs. Over the course of 3-4 weeks, I got together with all of my amazingly talented musically-inclined friends and recorded 6 original songs of worship. I decided to name this collection of songs, after my favorite song on the album, the "Love Came Down EP".
About the "Love Came Down EP"
Some of the songs on the album are definitely meant for corporate worship times. They have big choruses and moments that could help any number of people worship the Lord. Other songs are more complicated and are meant to be listened to and should provoke you to know God more. Either way, every song has one commonality: JESUS.
Woven within the entire EP is the message of the Gospel. It's about how God didn't wait for humanity to discover Him. He didn't passively sit back while the world worshiped idols and other things. God came to us. And that story is the root of all love.
"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us." 1 John 3:16
Your Contribution
Your pledge, no matter how great or how small, will help me produce this album. After spending much of my own money on recording the album, I find myself in need of funding to finish producing this record. With 100% funding of my $1,200 goal, I will be able to: Print hard copies of my album; Finish mastering all 6 tracks; and host an album release night at Scottsdale Bible Church on August 20th. (I hope you'll come!)
Thank you for visiting my Kickstarter Page. And thank you for helping make this project a reality.
Peace,

P.S.
Sorry about the poor video quality. I'm new to this stuff. Thanks!
FAQ

Two weeks before the EP is officially released (August 20th), you will receive via email a download code good for one download of each song. The code must be entered on my Bandcamp site where after choosing to download each song, you will be prompted to either pay money or enter a promo code. Your code can only be used once, so make sure you keep it a secret!

Two ways: If you come to my album release night (at Scottsdale Bible Church on August 20th), all you have to do is go up to the merchandise table and show proper ID and BAM!... CD! If you decide to be a square and not come to my album release night, no worries... I'll make sure to mail it to your home (although I may charge you a bit for shipping if you live in Hawaii).
