 Why Discipleship Foundation?Â
We are passionate about serving others as we journey together towards health and wholeness. We have sensed a growing burden to see people being able to experience the kind of life that Jesus talks about—where the fruit of the Spirit is not merely a biblical aspiration but a living reality that is experienced in our everyday lives; where we learn, through personal experience, the joy of God's unconditional love and the lived-out assurance of His peace, learning to model His kindness, gentleness, faithfulness and goodness as followers of Jesus.
Too often, the church has exchanged relationship for ritual, presence for programmes, often ignoring or downplaying the importance of spiritual transformation or the reality and impact of mental and emotional well-being. This has meant that no meaningful tools and techniques have been applied to help us take the necessary steps to practically implement the kind of transformation that God promises us in Matthew 11:28–30, Romans 12:1–2, Psalm 23 and Isaiah 61:1–3.
Our deep desire is to help as many people as possible not only to be able to ask the 'what' questions but to find practical 'how to' answers, as we cultivate a deep, meaningful, enriching and life-changing relationship with God, in which the concept of the new life He promises becomes a lived-out reality. That is what Discipleship Foundation is all about, and we are really excited to take this journey with you.Â

Leston now feels called to utilise what he has learned (and is still learning) to help people discover and develop a practical 'how-to' biblical discipleship model that incorporates spiritual development, therapeutic tools and techniques, and sound theological approaches to address the whole person, while assisting people in discovering their unique ministry calling and blueprint.
