The three time GMA Dove Award winner self-funded the holiday project through the support of over eight hundred fans on her website. Offering items and perks availble for purchase such as handcrafted silver spoons, signed copies of the record and more, Nockels went above and beyond expectations, raising over 100% of the funding goal.
"It's hard to put into words what it's like to put your heart out there for everyone to see and say 'Can you guys help make this dream a reality?'" says Nockels. "My secret hope all along is that people will hear it and feel like they got to invest in unfolding, in a new way, the greatest rescue story of all time... Almost like commissioning a painting, I pray that people feel a sense of 'I get to be apart of that!'"
