Yesterday, Rebecca St. James returned to the States after a successful round-up tour in Europe, proclaiming her message widely to teens about maintaining their sexual purity. The critically acclaimed artist continues to gain global mainstream media coverage on her steadfast stance and viewpoint of abstinence.

“Rebecca was initially quite stunned that the original interview with Reuters in London had reached literally around the globe with such extensive coverage and such a profound impact less than twelve hours later,” says Peter York, EMI Christian Music Label President. “She was very encouraged that the message of purity—a platform of her ministry that Rebecca has been consistently passionate about—made international news through her comments at a time when abstinence issues have never been more relevant on the world stage.”

Recently, St. James was interviewed by the Reuters International News Service in London where her moral message is now additionally reaching millions through broadcast and print. A Reuters UK Internet posting, a May 16 TV coverage on CNN Headline News with an CNN internet posting, an appearance on Fox News Live with Allan Colmes radio show, and a featuring on AOL’s AIM Celebrity news page, St. James’ message continues to spread like fire.

In addition, St. James received press and web spotlight coverages in The Washington Post and The Tennessean, India-based newspaper New India Express, and the Scottish publication The Scotsman.
