    Musician

    Bread of Stone
    With a new range of vocals, talent and tour experience, Bread of Stone hits the mark with their highly anticipated, long awaited third album, "Saturate." The bands goal is to share what God has been doing in their lives personally and as a group. The pop/rock 5 song EP features "Beautiful," which was inspired after a recent trip to Indonesia. Lead singer, Ben Kristijanto said "we spoke with a recent convert named Abraham and he told us that when we heard about the Gospel of Christ, he was in awe of how Someone so great would come down for someone like him and turn it in to something beautiful. Bread of Stone has toured with some of the top names in Christian music including the Newsboys, Stellar Kart, Decemberadio, Petra, Building 429 and many others.

    Restoring the Promise
    My Future: Impending Disaster or Inviting Promise?
    Through Youth Encounter’s new special emphasis events, youth will be encouraged to make wise choices that will help them prepare for healthy Christian single, married, and family living and ministry. Restoring the Promise is introduced to counter the threat to the future well-being of youth:

    “…about half of all U.S. teens engage in behaviors that…threaten their ability to become functioning adults.”*

    Special emphasis events will offer youth a message of hope and healing. Throughout the weekend speakers and small group leaders will:

    • Help to clarify God’s vision for their lives through biblical texts and conversations
    • Encourage youth to have healthy relationships and offer healing from unhealthy relationships
    • Engage in caring conversations with youth about their dreams, stresses and pressures
    • Assist in the understanding of the importance of reserving sexual intimacy for marriage
    • Share the message of God’s grace and love through Jesus Christ


    This new emphasis is being introduced to help youth heal their pain and stop the damages from cultural messaging. The event will promote a future full of hope for youth through Jesus Christ. We invite you to join us in Restoring the Promise to youth.
