Christian artist Rebecca St James has had an amazing 2011 already. She got engaged on Christmas Day in Tennessee. Rebecca has said to friends, "We are truly amazed at finding our dreams and ideals met in the love we've found. We are exceedingly grateful for this precious gift from God." Her signature song "Wait For Me" has helped to inspire girls and women all over the world to be models of purity before marriage for over a decade.

Winter Jam 2011 kicks off it's 45 date tour in the States this weekend. The gig boasts the likes of the Newsboys, Red and Kutless. The pre-show party brings Chris Sligh, Sidewalk Prophets and Chris August to the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte.

Finally...Last month, Mark Hall lead singer from Casting Crowns spoke about how the band not only want to reach out to families of army troops, but the troops themselves. Hall said at a church in Atlanta that a serviceman came up to him when the band played over in the Middle East for the troops. The solider said: "I've heard your music before; my wife listens to your music; but the things that you said [in the concert] and the songs that you sang have really given me hope to get through this." Let's hope that the rest of the troops fighting for our countries can have the same hope and faith.
