Help Fund Beach Chapel's 2022 EP

Hello! Welcome to the Help Fund Beach Chapel's 2022 EP Go Fund Me Page.

To start, I will introduce myself - my name is Drew Schaefer. I am a team member of One Big Family (OBF). I also host a podcast through OBF called Listen To This that showcases Christian Indie music and musicians.

Adam Lamah is a standout artist and a personal friend. He is gifted in creating music that has an honest sound and does not compromise in the truth of the Gospel. Over the past three years, Adam has released 12 singles. The truth is that these tracks are mostly self-funded. Due to the cost to maintain the quality in each track, Adam has not been able to have enough focused resources to put together an EP or full-length album. It would be incredible if his supporting listeners could come together to help Adam out to further what God is doing through his music.

I believe in the heart of Adam / Beach Chapel and am personally backing this project. I am requesting your financial support, if you are able, to fund Beach Chapel's first EP ever. Please pray into this project, give resources, and share this page with others that would like to take part. For anyone who has followed Beach Chapel’s music – you will know that this is a worthwhile project with end goals to glorify God.

For those of you who want to know more, here’s a deeper look at Beach Chapel’s Track Record:

I have already explained that Beach Chapel has a solid and consistent catalog of singles, but behind the scenes, here are things to know about Adam Lamah... Adam would love to focus on his calling and gifting in music for the Kingdom, but as an independent artist he is fully self-funded and therefore unable to focus on his music full time. That being said, he works full time and leads worship at his local church. In addition, he runs a mission focused organization called Beach Chapel Sessions where he brings in local and seasoned musicians to show God’s creativeness through music and shares the Gospel in public spaces on coastal piers.

I talk with Adam consistently and can truthfully say that he is using and desires to continue to use his platform to share the Good News about Jesus to lead the lost to the truth about God and to edify the body of Christ. This project is an extension of that mission-minded focus.

Where will the resources go?

The return on “investment” through streaming platforms can be very slow. Each song has required travel expenses, multiple session musicians, sound equipment, studio time, production, artwork, video costs (on some) and additional marketing costs. To date, only one of Adam’s songs has paid for itself. Other than some partial donation funding at times, he has funded everything else himself. In order to complete this EP, all the added costs listed above will be compounded for each track into one single stretch of time. Adam has counted the cost and he is unable to afford to do this by himself.

You have my word that he is a trustworthy steward of your resources. I assure you that he is focused on living in the Kingdom and inviting others to experience it through his music and through the platform that his music gives him.

Would you please help us reach our goal of $7,777 in 40 days? If we can reach $10k Adam can hire a PR firm to help market his music to broaden the listening audience. $12k would allow for more tracks and more visuals.

Any gifts over $100 will land you a shirt and a hand written note. Adam will also host some group Zoom calls for supporters.

I am passionate about seeing artists like Adam and his music succeed to the glory of God, for the glorification of God. Feel free to reach out to me personally if you have any questions.

Much love!

Drew Schaefer
