BREVSTOCK is an annual youth concert dedicated to Christ the King in thanksgiving for the year that has been and for the year that will be. It is one of the major outreach ministries of the Breviarians gathering musically talented youth and providing them a venue to showcase their God-given craft as an expression of their faith.
Launched in December of the Great Jubilee Year 2000, BREVSTOCK has since created a cult following with its annual year-ending live concerts that feature the best in Contemporary Christian Music. BREVSTOCK unites every young and old in giving thanks to God through music regardless of religious denominations or affiliations.
BREVSTOCK derived its name from Woodstock and its concept of bands playing one after the other. Christianizing it so to speak, the Breviarians dropped the word, “wood” , for Brev, and thus came BREVSTOCK, which eventually embodied the spirit and vision-mission statement of the Breviarians, to “BRing EVery Soul TO Christ the King”.
In keeping its relevance to the need of the times beyond its concept, BREVSTOCK 13 now turns its eye to seeing Christ in the poor and the needy. Labelled, GROUND ZERO, BREVSTOCK gears to restore lost hopes, rebuild broken dreams and heal shaken faiths by adopting Initiatives for Social Action Foundation as a beneficiary to support its pro-poor programs. ISA Foundation has of late been in contact with the Aeta community in the mountains of Sitio Yanka in Capas, Tarlac, which is in dire need of a basic need – WATER.
As there are 10,000 reasons to bless the Lord, here we are working to unite 1000 voices, a thousand dreams towards one foundation to make that little community live life a little better. One touching comment says that the Aetas may not have known what they really need as they are one with nature and with God, but it is they and their plight that is moving us unknowingly to generosity, to compassion, and to love.
A water system may not be much to us as to even think about it, but would it be as priceless a gift to a people who has none?
