Christian singer-songwriter Kari Jobe announced Tuesday that she is engaged to fellow singer and worship pastor Cody Carnes.

Jobe posted the news on her social media sites, and shared a picture of Carnes on one knee, proposing at the beach.

"I said YES!!!!" she wrote in the Instagram caption.

"Thankful to be swept off my feet by my amazing @codycarnes. You won my heart and I gladly give it to you. You're my miracle. Can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. You are strong, courageous, bold, romantic, Godly, sweet..and my man. I love you." 

Jobe is associate worship pastor at Gateway Church and has previously been nominated for a Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Album with her 2012 release Where I Find You.

She is the winner of two Dove Awards and has been recording albums for the last decade.  But it was following the release of her self-titled album in 2009 that she started to gain an international following and solidified her reputation as one of the most gifted worship artists around today.

If you look at the Church of England’s communications all that it ever seems to highlight is the good works that Christians do to improve the temporal well-being of their neighbours. It is right to highlight these things, but they are not the primary reason for the Church’s existence.
