Fundraiser Story / Description

I am King James XIII. I make scripture-driven music and build the Armor of God — songs, sermons, and clothing meant to arm the humble and lift up the faithful. This work is not for fame or fortune; it’s a calling. I’m asking for help so we can keep making high-quality, gospel music, support the people who hear it, and turn those resources back into our ministry and community.

Why I’m fundraising:

Making professional music and running a small ministry costs more than you see. Studio time, mixing and mastering, session musicians, artwork, and distribution all add up. Producing honest, physical merch (hoodies, bundles) that pays creators and workers fairly requires upfront inventory and shipping funds. When we earn back those sales, the money goes right back into outreach: free shows, support for those in need, and seeds for long-term projects (community housing and shared spaces we call Project Lazarus).

How your gift will be used:

• Professional studio time, mixing & mastering so the message is clear.

• Manufacturing and shipping Armor of God merch (so fans can wear the message).

• Distribution, artwork, and admin costs to keep songs on Spotify/Apple/etc.

• Small outreach grants and community events — feeding people, meeting needs, sharing the Word.

What I promise in return:

I will be fully transparent. You’ll get campaign updates, early access to new songs, and thank-you acknowledgements in our updates. For larger gifts we’ll arrange exclusive early merch or a personal message of thanks.

If this work has touched you even once, please consider donating or sharing the link. Every dollar helps us keep the music clean, the message fierce, and the work honest. Thank you for standing with us — together we build the Armory.

In faith,

— King James XIII ✝️
