Others relating their experiences at Whitefield is a good idea. There are a number here who have benefitted greatly from "attending" Whitefield. I hope they chime in soon.

Although I looked into the program, I did not take it up. However, I contacted Whitefield and all of my questions were answered. My contact person was thorough, friendly and professional.

Why not give it a whirl yourself. You can start here:

"I want to assist churches and to assist pastors in training pastors. But, after fourteen years of service in this capacity, I am absolutely certain that the finest theological seminary on earth is absolutely incompetent at replicating the actual life of a Gospel congregation. I want to train a generation of pastors who will train pastors, and I want to help them in that task." --- Dr. R. Albert Mohler, President of THE Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY
