AboutBOS
Infused with an energy that finds its source in their passion for bringing others closer to Jesus, Bread of Stone (BOS) is an up-and-coming Christian band based out of Sioux City, Iowa with a sound all their own.  Originally formed by two brothers Ben (vocals) and Bill Kristijanto (guitar) and later joined by good friends Tim Barnes(bass) and Jeremi Hough (drums), they have answered the call to ministry through inspiring music.  With a unique blend of rock, pop, and worship, their music takes listeners on a journey through the heights and depths of the human experience.

With the release of their sophomore project, Letting Go, BOS has fine tuned their message and honed in on their God-given talents. Ben, who writes the majority of their music, explains that the overall theme of the album is one of surrender.  The title track, Letting Go, talks about his journey into a deeper relationship with Jesus as he realized the only way to have a true friendship with Christ is to humble himself. The album is colored with additional tracks full of captivating melodies and genuine lyrics that speak the truth of life.

Since the release of their original self-produced album, Broken Vessels, BOS has been blessed with many incredible opportunities to expand their musical horizon.  A major highlight of their vast touring experience was being a part of the Farewell Tour for the legendary group Petra.  Other tour experience includes the LifeLight Tours with Phil Joel and Foolish Things, the Drifter Tour with DecembeRadio, and the 180 Tour with Casting Pearls.  In addition to their extensive touring schedule they have had the privilege of sharing the stage with artists such as Toby Mac, Jars of Clay, and Chris Tomlin.  BOS grips audiences everywhere with electrifying performances as they expand their boundaries.

Standing behind their belief to freely share the Gospel with everyone, BOS has donated their time and talents to several organizations. The guys put their faith into action by helping rebuild homes for the victims of Hurricane Katrina with the ongoing recovery efforts of the Christ In Action organization Homes of Hope. Teaming up with Imanuel Ministries as well, BOS has ventured to Indonesia producing two full-length Christian albums and have currently distributed over 85,000 free copies throughout the Muslim-populated country.

When asked about the significance of the name “Bread of Stone”, they state we are all merely stones that God turns into bread to feed the hungry and that without Him, no one can accomplish good in this downfallen world.

With the grace of God flowing through their ministry, they have had the opportunity to see numerous people come to know the Lord. With an outlook forecasted for certain success, they are determined to glorify Him in everything they do, for this is the true heart of Bread of Stone.
