Father M. Devadas, the founder of 'The Bible Mission”, was a man of God, mightily used in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. A mystic with profound spiritual experiences, Father Devadas left an indelible mark on his followers, who affectionately called him "Father." During his lifetime, he strictly forbade anyone from writing his biography, believing that no one could fully capture the essence of his life. Therefore, this account is a humble attempt to document some of the extraordinary events he experienced in profound communion with GOD.
The word "Deva" means God, and "Das" means servant, that is, God's Servant. He lived a consecrated, unblemished bachelor life in communion with God. Father Devadas's influence extends far beyond the borders of South India, as believers around the world continue to draw inspiration from his life and teachings. His message of God's love and salvation transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, resonating with people of all backgrounds and denominations.
Father Devadas was born to Mungamuri Jonah and Satyavathamma garu in Jegurupadu, a small village in the East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. The long-awaited child of devout evangelist parents, he was named Devadas, meaning 'Servant of God.' From an early age, Devadas exhibited a contemplative nature, preferring meditation and prayer over play. His parents' evangelistic work deeply influenced him, nurturing his spiritual awareness and leading to early experiences of divine friendship.
Devadas received his primary education at a local school in Jegurupadu, where he demonstrated exceptional intelligence and a deep love for nature. His spiritual precocity was evident even at the age of six, when he prayed at a pastors' gathering, asking to emulate Jesus in his youth. This prayer drew the attention and patronage of Lutheran missionaries, who supported his further education at the Nigam Memorial Evangelical Lutheran Church in Dhavaleswaram.
Established in 1938 through God's revelation to Father M. Devadas, “BIBLE MISSION” Church is a spiritual haven where believers gather to worship in truth and spirit. Rooted in the teachings of Christ, our church is committed to spreading the Gospel, nurturing faith, and fostering a deep, personal connection with God. We invite you to join us in authentic, spirit-led worship as we seek to live out God's purpose, transform lives, and build a unified community of believers dedicated to sharing His love and truth with the world.
