Rebecca St James announces engagement to Jacob Fink

CCM STAR Rebecca St James, who recently announced her return to music with the release of a new studio album 'I Will Praise You' to be issued on 5th April by Beach Street/Reunion Records, has announced her engagement. St James will wed the man she's been waiting for - Jacob Fink - on a date soon to be announced. The Christmas Day proposal came at Rebecca's family farm in Franklin, Tennessee where she was presented the ring. The groom-to-be asked her parents, David and Helen, for their blessing prior to surprising Rebecca with the engagement ring and his request for her hand in marriage.

Jacob, originally from Colorado, now resides in Southern California. He spent two years as a missionary in South Africa before attending college and graduating summa cum laude with a degree in communications and an emphasis on film production. He worked in television production prior to his current career in music. The couple met through mutual friends in Los Angeles.

Rebecca's signature song, "Wait For Me", released in 2000, inspired national attention to the ideals of purity before marriage - a self-lived message she has taken to young people worldwide from her concert stages and through her best-selling books and personal testimony.
