Listen to a few of our former students - men & women:

PCW 511 will provide men, pastors, and ministry leaders, valuable material for the healthy shepherding of women in a local church. The course establishes a biblical foundation for shepherding and builds on the distinctive spiritual, psychological, emotional, and physiological characteristics for the healthy shepherding of women. This class also provides a unique opportunity for men and ministry leaders to learn from and interact with women ministry leaders and gain valuable insight for women’s pastoral care. Tom Miles

[PCW511] You wouldn't believe how I am already using so much of what I learned last week in my ministry. ….and this is helping me make decisions for strategy/vision. I have never been in a class or seminar where I have learned valuable and practical information as I have this past week. Can't wait for more! Vicky Dillon

It was a pleasure to be in Bev’s class. The material was well balanced and practical. I appreciate her ministry in helping others to see woman in the light of divine providence. To me, it was in many regards an eye opening experience. I would strongly recommend this classes to be extended to men as well, there is a lot, we men can learn from it. This class helped me reassess some things I was not well aware of that turns to be a blessing in my relationship with my wife and the family in whole. I personally thank Bev, for the great work she has done, I mean God through her, and may God continuously bless her ministry. Leonid Zakhariya
