As We Were Exploring The Possibilities of how to best raise finance for the future projects, we were led back to an old missionary book telling the story we have just shared with you.

We were very excited to find that three of the original "Certificate of Shares" were in a museum on the east coast. Having obtained copies of these original shares, we modeled our own version after these originals of 1856.

After making several changes that reflected the heart... and purpose... of our Programs, we came up with an appropriate updated version... continuing on a tradition that started over 130 years ago.
