Grammy winning Christian rocker, Rebecca St. James, sees ‘forgiveness’ as the major resounding message of her current Worship Revolution Tour, now reaching national concert audiences through this Easter week as the world resounds with war and rumors of wars.

Termed as one of the most “influential Christian leaders under forty” in a recent poll and with her international records sales in the millions, the twenty something St. James, teamed on tour with the UK’s top Christian rockers, Delirious? is nightly seeing youth pour to the stage in response to her passionate message—a message she feels has never been more needful than now.

The forgiveness message comes from the singer’s personal mission trip last year to Rwanda—the genocide ravaged country that this week on April 6th marks a thirteen year anniversary of the beginning of the civil war that wiped out more than 800,000 people in a bloody hundred day massacre.

Notes the Australian born singer in a recent interview: “In light of what I knew going over, I expected to see total brokenness in this country—and instead I saw a tremendous amount of healing had taken place. I saw joy and peace in the lives of the Rwandan people. It was the power of forgiveness. Their president had instituted a policy of ‘no revenge’ and through this mandate, Rwanda opened the door to allow Godly forgiveness that led to healing. In a country that was destroyed from the inside out as the world watched healing has taken place from the inside as people are living out Jesus’ mandate to forgive.”

It’s a message that Rebecca St. James is faithful to deliver each night on the Worship Revolution Tour. As multi-screens flash in the rock concert setting, she sits nightly on the edge of the stage to talk passionately to the audience about forgiveness, what she experienced in Rwanda, and about her personal work as a global spokesperson for Compassion International. Through her efforts for Compassion in concerts around the world to date more than 40,000 of he world's neediest children have found sponsorship. Behind her onstage a collage of impactful images from her visit to Africa starkly set the scene. She calls the overwhelming response to this part of the concert "the heart of the tour for me.”

"I look out and see hands raised in worship, and tears streaming down faces, and I know this is a message that is needed and that it is resonanting with today's young people," notes St. James, adding:

“I'm not here to entertain-although I appreciate that people connect with my music. My main goal is that people encounter God."
