SUPPLIER HIGHLIGHT
 Holy Land Stone Company by Penny Martin, President/Co-Founder

In December 1997, two years after my husband Jim's initial trip to Jerusalem, Holy Land Stone Company was founded.  From his desire to carry with him a piece of stone from the very land Jesus walked, arose a passion to share the Jerus
alem Stone with others.
 
 
Our beginnings were humble.  I set up a computer and fax machine in our family  room.  Jim's brother Michael worked evenings after his full time job in our garage.  With  a passion to provide others with a tangible reminder of God's presence, we began marketing to the inspirational/Christian market.  

   The company grew over the years having expanded into our third facility and offering nearly 1000 products throughout the inspirational gift market.  In January 2000, we were guided into a new market.
