Leon du Preez is a living example of the supernatural power of God and the transformation which comes through having an encounter with God! In 2002, Leon was bound by addiction, imprisoned in a lifestyle of darkness and under the control of demonic influence.

Whilst in a drug den, this came to a sudden end when Leon was confronted by the unparalleled power of God. Immediately set free, Leon cast away a life of bondage in obedience to a call from God to take that very Encounter which he experienced to the generation of this hour! This was the birth of “Encounter” — a multifaceted ministry, now recognized locally and globally.

In 2016, after successfully pioneering an international ministry, Leon and his wife, Este-Lee du Preez, founded one of the fastest growing churches in Centurion, South Africa — “Encounter Christian Church”.
