The 2014 Winter Jam is touring the country, with their most recent stop scheduled Feb. 16 in Norfolk, Va.

The Christian music tour, started by NewSong in 1995, features the top names in Christian music for only $10 at the door.

"When you attend a Winter Jam event, you can count on ministry being the main focus," the website states.

One way they accomplish this goal is by interacting with attendants on a new level. Smartphone and tablet applications are available for download, and attendants can contact counseling services provided by the tour through texting.

"One thing that we encourage people to do here and people back home -- if you text in the word 'reset' to the number '73738'  that will send you a text message back and get you connected with some encouragement and tips," Nick Hall, a Winter Jam speaker, said.

"Actually we have a team of people across the country to help people if you need a church, or even if you need to talk to someone literally there is someone available all the time to message back and forth to have spiritual conversations," he added.

There are 26 cities left on the tour. Click here to see if Winter Jam is coming to you.
