What we found

We found a matching congregation with its own website, Church of the Living God Ministries, led by Rev. N. Joseph Raju (clgmindia.org), though its base address is Gannavaram in Krishna district, near Vijayawada, with listed Sunday and Saturday worship times. The exact contact email you gave appears on an Indian NGO directory, which records the body as a non-government trust registered in Andhra Pradesh in March 2003 working in children's welfare, education and health. Independent listings confirm the same place and phone number (Net Ministries church directory, the fundamental.org KJV directory, a Mappls map entry, and an active YouTube channel), and an aid-partnership site describes it as an Indian NGO running an orphanage and primary school, plus a leprosy camp. We found no scam reports, fraud warnings or complaints about this church or its founder.

Search conclusion: strong evidence. An independent web search is part of every review; an online page alone does not prove a congregation exists.
