Robbie Seay Band Nominates Family for Extreme Home Makeover

Robbie Seay Band has nominated the “Beach Family” for a complete home renovation by Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Their episode taped last week and will air in late March.

Larry and Melissa Beach lost their home in Kemah, TX, a suburb of Houston, to Hurricane Ike more than a year ago. The couple, who have thirteen children, nine adopted and many with special needs, have resided in FEMA trailers on their property since late 2008. Amidst such circumstances, the Beach’s, who have fostered more than 85 children in their home, have continued to offer a home to children in need.

Robbie Seay, co-founder of Ecclesia Church, comments, “Larry and Melissa proved that their love was stronger than anything a storm could bring their way. Living in FEMA trailers, they continued to reach out and love these kids, no matter the circumstances. My connection to this family is deep. They served as my youth group Sunday school teachers and now I mentor their older boys who are aspiring musicians. I am beyond thrilled that this is happening for them."

Francesca Battistelli #1 on Four Christian Radio Charts

On the heels of recent music features on AOL Music's homepage, ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," NBC's "Biggest Loser," and The Style Network's new reality show "Running In Heels," Francesca Battistelli is #1 on four Christian radio charts.

"Free to be Me" reached #1 this week on all three R&R Christian radio charts: AC-Monitored, AC-Indicator, and CHR, as well as on the Mediabase chart (as printed in USA Today).

"Free to be Me" is the first #1 single from a female at AC since 2005. This is the 5th week in the top spot at CHR, and the second week as #1 at AC-Indicator.

Perhaps Battistelli is a trend buster for Christian music radio.
