En el 2003, Roger Villa empez este proyecto sin experiencia y con sueos grandes. Uno de esos sueos era de grabar un disco entero con cantos originales y hacer algo positivo con las ganancias. Pidi patricinios para cubrir los gastos del proyecto y en cambio l dara las ganancias a misiones y caridades. No pas mucho tiempo cuando se dio cuenta que no iba a recibir el apoyo que deseaba. Tuvo que trabajar ms duro para llevar acabo el proyecto, pero en el proceso justific en su mente el tratar el proyecto como otra avenida de ingresos. El proyecto se detuvo por tres aos hasta Agosto del 2007. "Senta que entre ms lo intentaba, nada progresaba." Un da, mientras asista la conferencia de lderes "The Summit" via satlite, auspiciado por Willow Creek Church, Roger sinti que la respuesta a sus frustraciones le fue dada. "Haba perdido el propsito inicial de este proyecto y lo justifiqu por razones equivocadas." "Primicias" naci ese da. La palabra se refiere a los "primeros frutos." "Esto es el proyecto, mis primicias a Dios." El cuarenta porciento va ir directamente a misiones mientras el resto se utiliza para llevar acabo otros proyectos y promover a otros cantantes que comparten la misma vision de dar. "Quiero que este proyecto siga dando ms all de mis capacidades." In 2003, Roger Villa started this project with no experience and big dreams . One of those dreams was to record a full album of original songs and do something positive with the proceeds. He asked for sponsors to fund the cost of the project, and in turn he would donate the proceeds to charity. It was not long before he realized that he was not getting the support that he desired. He had to work a little harder at putting it all together, but in the process felt justified to treat it as another source of income. The project came to a complete stop for three years until August 2007. "It felt like no matter how hard I tried, nothing was moving forward." One day while at a satellite location of "The Summit," a leadership conference sponsored by Willow Creek Church, Roger felt that the answer to his frustration was made clear. "I had lost my original purpose for this album and justified it for selfish reasons." "Primicias" was born that day. The word is Spanish for "first fruits." "That is what this project is, my first fruits to God." Forty percent of the proceeds will go directly to charity and missions, while the rest is reinvested into other projects and singers that share the same vision for giving. "I want this project to keep on giving beyond my own abilities."

I came across Habakkuk 3:19 in my attempt to refuel my sunken strength and journal out these thoughts in my morning quiet time. And what spoke to me is this…
