Bro. Prabhudas Chatragadda was born on March 5, 1952, in the village of Barrankula, Naggayalanka. He completed his studies up to PUC in Machilipatnam and then received training as a Cabinet Making Engineer. He worked at Evangelical Fellowship of India Commission on Relief (EFICOR) for 2 years. In 1976, at the age of 23, Pastor Prabhudas had a dramatic encounter with the Lord, leading him to fully surrender with implicit obedience to the call. He engaged in street preaching and youth evangelism, primarily collaborating with local Christian groups in Diviseema, Andhra Pradesh. He pursued further Bible training at The Laymen’s Evangelical Fellowship in Madras. Despite significant challenges, he served faithfully as a pastor & evangelist at various LEF Centres in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. In 1994, the Lord led him on a different path, using him to establish the ministry known as Laymen’s Christian Fellowship - India (LCF Church - India). This ministry currently operates in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, led by a team of 15 pastors and overseeing 12 churches.
