As reported at VirtueOnline:
CHRIST CHURCH in Plano, Texas presented the Diocese of Peru http://www.peru.anglican.org) with a gift of $500,000, enabling the expansion and development of a Leadership Center and Seminary in Lima, Peru. The Rev. Canon David H. Roseberry, rector of Christ Church Plano, said, "We have been sending mission teams to Peru for over eight years and we have been blessed through our relationship with Bishop Bill Godfrey and the people there. Our church family decided it was time to send significant financial resources to make a lasting improvement in the life of that Anglican diocese." The money, a gift from Christ Church Plano parishioners, goes toward the August 28, 2008 purchase of an existing 18,000 square foot building, formerly designed and used as a school. It will be remodeled and reconfigured to house an expanded seminary, diocese administration offices including the Bishop's office, and a worship space for the Mission Ascension. Future plans might include a dormitory for mission teams, or classroom and office space, or both. Christ Church Plano has been a long-time strategic partner of the Diocese of Peru, supplying funds, short and long-term missionaries and prayer partnership steadily throughout the year.
