What Is BDI?
BDI is Believers’ Discipleship Institute. It is a three-week long indepth biblical training, aimed at exposing the undiluted truths of scriptures to disciples and intending disciples of Christ, with the goal of conforming each participant to the image of Christ and the exact pattern for His work.
The vision for BDI came as a result of the ministry’s burden to see more Christians come into full understanding of the Person of Christ, all that He has done for them, and all that He requires of them as His disciples and His labourers. The institute seeks to raise men and women who, at the end of each training period, will be stirred and determined to take a stand for Christ – first, in ensuring that He becomes absolute LORD and Master over their lives – and that His work will be effectively done through them, according to biblical pattern.
To this end, the registrars, administrators, and instructors at the institute labour in the place of prayer and the Word to ensure that Christ is correctly and adequately taught and formed in each of the students who attend the institute each year.

Who Can Attend BDI?
With its focus on teaching the truths as it is in Christ for the primary purpose of personal conformity to His image, to believers and disciples everywhere, Believers’ Discipleship Institute is opened to every believer or intending disciple of Jesus who is hungry for more of God, wants to grow in understanding of biblical doctrines, and also in agreement with God’s pattern and purpose for His work.
The institute is concerned with ensuring that only individuals who have determined to separate themselves from the world and to God alone, in a practial way as to deepen their relationship with God through full, clear, and comprehensive knowledge of His will, are admitted into the school.
To this end, we welcome everyone who believes that their interests agree with the foregoing, and are equally willing to conform to all rules and regulations guiding the proper functioning of the institution.

What Students Are Saying
Find below some of the testimonies of past BDI students, to encourage and inspire you on your journey and decision-making.
BDI 2022 was an encounter that changed my salvation experience. Understanding justification in the course “Process of Salvation” was especially inspiring for me. Knowing that I have been justified by faith and that I have access to the holy of holies made me run with speed in my Christian journey.
Busola Obileye
Being a part of BDI 2011 was a blessing. Although I had claimed to be ‘born again’ before then,I wasn’t free from sin and didn’t understand how to live above it. I gained utmost victory and got genuinely born again during BDI 2011, and also started on my journey towards discipleship. I can trace the success of my Christian journey today to my encounter at BDI 2011.
Busayo Lawrence
I was privileged and blessed of God for making me part of the BDI 2011. I gave my life to Christ not quite long before that time and I needed to be taught and shown more accurately the ways of the Lord. Teachings and Lessons I learned and practiced has really helped me so much.(And still helping) It brought growth and understanding in every aspect of my life. Teachings like How to hear God, Developing personal relationship with God, Discipleship, Purpose etc
