Hey guys

      On Saturday the 15^th   of March, We had an awesome show here in Bonifay, FL. It is an outdoor Festival called Soul Jam, held at Memorial Field. It was so awesome and fun to see God’€™s hand in this, because the weather was to be rainy and such. But all that day, it was cloudy, a little breezy, but no rain. That was such a blessing from God. There were a total of 23 people that accepted Christ in their lives for the first time that day and many rededications. Praise the Lord.

Before this event happened, we did about five shows in the highschools around the area on Friday the 14^th.  It was so cool to have kids come up to us and say things like “€œI saw you play at my school.” What was so awesome was that it seemed as though we have known those kids for a long time, just by doing a show at their school. Then they came to see us again at memorial field, and with that kind of attitude it really opened them up for the message we were sending out. That is the real reason why we do what we do. It is so awesome how God knows precisely what these kids and adults are looking for. I, as part of Bread Of Stone, am so honored to be used by God to get His message out in this world.

Thank you for all the prayer and support.

God Bless

Tim

Hey everyone,

Wow! So I had my first show Friday night with BOS in Wisconsin. It was so amazing. Just the response we got from the crowd was awesome.

It was cool to ask people after the show if they have seen us before. Allot of people said it was their first time, but a good amount have seen us in the past.

God is doing some amazing things with BOS that are so beyond me.  There are things happening that I can clearly see God’s hands at work. AMAZING

 So I can’t wait to meet all of you. Its just so exciting.

                                                         God bless

                                                         In the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus

Hello people of the world,The tour has begun, and tonight’s show was great!  We had lots of people come out to the show and a special friend of ours, Kelley and her family, came over to visit us from Watertown, WI (they brought gifts that were made from another special friend, Megan).  Thanks to all of the people of Rhinelander for coming out and supporting the event.  You made it all the better.  Thanks to Ben (one of the volunteer that helped us) and his crew for freezing their tails off, while loading and unloading the equipment.  You guys were a great help to us all.  Also, we’ve been getting allot of media attention and interviews, and one of which is for the upcoming shows in Effingham and Decatur.  Click HERE to read the interview, and let us know what you think of it.  As always, we thank all of our supporters that are out there, and hope to see some of you in our upcoming dates.  Lots of LUV,Ben ;-) 

 Hey everyone,

My name is Tim Barnes.  God has given me the opportunity to become the new official bass player of Bread of Stone.

Here is a little bit about myself:

I grew up in McCook Lake, SD.  I am the youngest of five other brothers and sisters, well I’m actually a twin to one of them.  There is my oldest brother Joe, then the next is my brother John, then my sister Katie, my sister melody, and then my twin Joy.  My parent’s names are Robert and Nancy, who for them I thank God everyday, cause they are a huge part in the man I am today.  I was homeschooled all my life and just graduated in May of last year.  I’m currently enrolled at Western Iowa Tech for my GED.

Those of you that know the rest of the band, knows that they are more than just a rock band.  They are some very cool guys that strive to do God’€™s will.  So I am getting very excited about this new year of 2008 to see what God’€™ll do.  I am glad to be able to tour with such amazing guys and can’t wait to meet their awesome fans.

So in saying all of that, I am so excited to get to know all you guys.  God has done some amazing things so far, and I can’t wait to see what is next in His will.

Hope to see you at our upcoming shows.

God Bless,

Tim Barnes.

Great news everyone! AWOE magazine recently published an interview on their December 2007 issue, talking about us. Yeah, it’s pretty cool. You should definitely check it out and read it. Here’s the link for it:

In the past year we have done allot of business with Anderson Brothers for all our printing needs.  We met a couple of weeks ago with one of the owner of the company, Tony Anderson.  Tony has been gracious to give us great deals on our printing projects.  So, recently we needed to have some business cards printed, and we came into the office to chat with him.  It turns out, Tony is a great Christian and has been involved with many mission trips and supporting Christian events such as LifeLight Festival.  To our surprise, he did not charge for our business cards to be printed!!  WOW, we serve a living God.  Thanks Tony, may God bless you for it.  So, if anyone is interested in getting some materials printed, please be sure to contact Anderson Brothers.  Their website is www.andersonbrothers.biz .

We had a great time on WDJC with Jon Walden the other night - here’s a few pics from the show and from before the show. We spent the day with the guys from the station and DecembeRadio at Trussville Playstation where we played Laser Tag (my team won everytime - go Green!!), raced Go Karts, hit some baseballs in batting cages, rollerbladed, and played arcade games. It was an awesome afternoon! Be sure to check out WDJC online here.

We’re here in Birmingham, AL at WDJC 93.7 FM hanging out with Jon Walden.  I’m actually in the studio right now typing this blog.  Okay, I’ve got to go right now.  I’ll right back to ya’ll later.  Just an update.
