He began his Pastoral ministry with Christalaya Congregations where he was ordained . He lived in Pune from 1997 to 2015 and pioneered two church plants.

He has done B.A. from Osmania University and B.D. from Union Biblical Seminary.

He came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour at age 13 and was called to ministry in 1975 through 1Chro.28:10 “Consider now, for the Lord has  chosen you to build a temple as a sanctuary. Be strong and do the work.” The call was repeated and confirmed exactly a year later with the same verse.

Pastor Augustine has a vision to build a culture of discipleship across the  churches.
