ABOUT THE MINISTRY

Ordained as a prophet before birth, discovered at the mere age of 17. This was the moment when Leon du Preez got saved and delivered through an encounter with Jesus Christ. Leon du Preez became a living example of the supernatural power of God that was imparted to him during this encounter.

As the founder of Encounter Church, one of the fast-growing churches in South Africa, Leon’s ministry has become a household name within the Body of Christ.

Encounter Church has been established and planted in Centurion, Krugersdorp, Cape Town, Ballito, Somerset West, and Worcester in South Africa, as well as establishing a strong international presence with the Encounter Online Church.

Encounter Global Network, which he presides over, provides spiritual covering to numerous churches and ministries worldwide, fostering church growth, governance, and the nurturing of spiritual gifts.

Leon’s mantle and role as a Prophet within the Body of Christ have been recognized as a divine gift and endorsed by Senior Leaders, Ministers, and Prophets. His God-given mandate is reaching millions across the globe, as he imparts a prophetic mantle to this generation.

Leon is also the founder of the Prophetic Institute, an initiative that trains and equips believers in the prophetic, empowering them to walk in their divine calling.
