“Living in a different country, I felt overwhelmed, and there were moments I wanted to give up. I listened to Joe's song almost every day. It reminded me who God is and who He says I am, and helped me fight the lies I was believing. Thank you, Joe.”
Child
rough mixLuis's story is the why. Countless people are quietly fighting discouragement, isolation, fear, and the temptation to give up. Joe believes these songs can meet people in those honest places, reminding them who God is, who they are, and that freedom and joy are still possible.
That is one person. Your gift is what carries these songs to the next.
Give to the missionFrom conviction to release
Joe Lammers
Over the past year, Joe created this project in collaboration with award-winning songwriters and producers Jason Ingram and Jonathan Smith. He felt called to release it independently, free to protect the message, move with integrity, and steward the songs as an offering to the Lord.
The music is complete, and promotion could begin within the next few months. Your gift helps carry these songs to people through storytelling, visual content, digital outreach, and the Music Missions Tour.

Give to the mission
Joe would be honored. If you would like to help establish a matching opportunity, he would be glad to explore it with you. There is absolutely no pressure. Your prayer, encouragement, and honest feedback already mean so much.

Straight answers
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes, to the extent allowed by law. Gifts go to Wildfire Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 92-2201858), and we'll send a receipt for your records.
Who actually receives my gift?
Wildfire Foundation does. The Foundation directs gifts to its approved charitable music and outreach initiative, and retains full discretion and control over all contributed funds. The ministry organizations named on this page are partners Joe serves alongside. They do not receive gifts made here.
Do I receive ownership or royalties?
No. This is a charitable gift, not an investment. It provides no ownership, royalties, repayment, or creative control. The songs remain Joe's to steward.
Can I give monthly instead of all at once?
Yes. Monthly giving is set up by bank transfer or Bill Pay rather than by card. Email us and we will send the Foundation's details. A steady monthly gift is what lets this be planned rather than hoped for.
Is a small amount actually worth giving?
Yes. The three named levels are there because a few people can carry a large share of the work, but they are not the whole picture. Reaching people is the entire point, and the people who walk alongside it are part of that, not a footnote to it.
What happens if the full amount is not reached?
The work scales to what comes in. Every line above is real work that can be done at more or less depth. The music is already finished, so nothing about the record depends on hitting a number.
