Some of my friends who have used RTS' distance learning (via Atlanta RTS, I think) have really liked it: http://virtual.rts.edu/home.aspx Chad Richard Bresson Pastor for Spiritual Development <http://www.clearcreekchapel.org/> Clearcreek Chapel Springboro, OH Blog: <http://breusswane.blogspot.com/> The Vossed World > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Cleveland [ <mailto:mikejody@...> mailto:mikejody@...] > Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 11:17 AM > To: soundofgrace@... > Subject: [soundofgrace] Preaching Training > > Greetings friends, > > > > My name is Mike Cleveland, and I used to belong to this group > a long time ago, and then we kind of got busy in ministry and > had to drop out.
