What is BDC?
Bali Discipleship Conference (BDC) is a vocational Bible school. The purpose is to equip men and women who long to know the Lord Jesus Christ more deeply to experience the life of Jesus in their lives that will make their lives meaningful and full of hope.
For many years Torchbearers Indonesia serves and equips men and women from various ethnic groups from The West to The East of Indonesia. Now we have opportunity and are called to serve and equip men and women from all over the world. We have chosen the right place to hold our international ministry in Bali Island.
Bali Discipleship Conference (BDC) will provide foundational teaching to equip men and women to live, with integrity and vitality, the authentic Christian life that “turned the world upside down” in the first century!
Bali Discipleship Conference (BDC) is held in a very famous location in Bali, namely Kuta. There will be opportunities to walk around Kuta Beach and other destinations in the afternoon while you join Bali Discipleship Conference.
If you join BDC for two or three weeks, we can help you to arrange an exciting trip* to places of interest on Saturdays. You are also free to do recreation by yourself.
*trip arrangements are optional and not included in the fees
