We are an international, inter-denominational ministry engaged in evangelism and Bible teaching as a part of Torchbearers International (formerly known as the Capernwray Missionary Fellowship of Torchbearers), founded by Major Ian Thomas. This lake borders Austria and Switzerland and is one of the most popular vacation areas in Germany with world class sailing, windsurfing, skiing, hiking, and climbing right in the immediate area. On a clear day, you can stand in your dormitory rooms, look across the water, and see the majestic Swiss and Austrian Alps. If you come for a visit, there are beautiful running and biking trails and opportunities to canoe or kayak. Our central location is also within "day-trip" range of many tourist attractions, skiing, hiking, items of historical significance, and well known cities such as Munich, Zurich, and Stuttgart. Bodenseehof offers a six-month Bible School and discipleship program which runs in the English language. We typically have 80 - 100 students from around the world who come to participate in what many say is the "best six months of their life." Additionally, we offer many different German-speaking conferences and retreats. As a part of Torchbearers International, we are connected with other schools, conference centers, and mission organizations around the world. Our goal in all of the many programs offered is that people would have encounters with the risen, indwelling Christ. http://www.bodenseehof.de/de/site.php/78
