As we begin 2012, Soapstone has cause for great celebration. We raised more than $27,000 for our ZOE Ministry Working Group during the 2011 Christmas Season! Our goal was $8,000 in 2011, $6,000 in 2012 and $4,000 in 2013 for a total of $18,000. This three year commitment will empower 60-70 orphaned African children with the resources, training, and support they need to break the cycle of poverty and dependency forever.
