LONDON – Grammy-Award winning artist and author Rebecca St James (EMI/Forefront) is in Europe this summer for a line-up of gigs.

The Australian singer will be performing in Norway, Czech Republic, Holland, Switzerland and England.

“I always love going to Europe; there’s such a joy with which they receive the encouragement that comes from Christian music – such a fresh enthusiasm that I sense over there,” noted St. James in a pre-tour interview with Radio UCB in London.

“A lot of the countries that we’re returning to this trip – such as Holland, Norway, and England – we’ve visited so many times I feel that we’ve built up a kind of supportive family; it’s like coming back to visit relatives,” she added.

The tour follows St. James’ visit to Europe last year, when she performed on stage with popular Christian groups BarlowGirl and Delirious? in Holland and Germany, respectively.

“God 'showed up' so powerfully and encouraged my heart more on this European tour than on any other tour there before,” she shared after the tour.

“I have truly come home refreshed – with my heart feeling 'strangely warmed.' That’s how some of Jesus' followers felt after walking with Jesus on their way to Emmaus and truly I relate.

“We expressed such incredible community with believers in all of the 11 countries we visited, and through them our hearts have been warmed by Jesus' love,” she added.

In addition to her music, St. James is an open supporter of teenage sexual abstinence, and has become an unofficial spokesperson for True Love Waits. The popular single "Wait For Me," from her album Transform, encourages abstaining from sex outside of marriage.
