Who Is He…?

“A Charismatic Revivalist with a Contemplative Heart…”

Lawrence Prasad is an inner healing minister, pastoral partner and supervisor, and companion to leaders and the wounded—a charismatic revivalist with a contemplative heart. A storyteller by nature, his life has taken him from a childhood steeped in Catholic and charismatic spirituality, through years in Melbourne’s gay club and drag scene, to a profound encounter with the Father’s outrageous love that changed everything.

Born in Australia to a Catholic family shaped by the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, Lawrence carried both deep spiritual hunger and deep wounding. After years in the club scene, drag performance, and drug world, he experienced a life-changing encounter with the Father at Catch the Fire’s International Leaders School of Ministry (ILSOM) in 2011. Since then, the Father has gently healed childhood trauma, re-fathered his heart, and led him from shame and striving into beloved sonship.

Out of this journey, Lawrence founded Heart Keys, a ministry dedicated to inner healing and heart transformation in Australia, helping people encounter the Trinity in their stories and heal from the inside out. He also leads Professional Pastoral Partnership in the USA, providing independent pastoral care and safe, confidential spaces for pastors, priests, and ministry leaders to process their inner world and stay healthy in their calling.

Lawrence is passionate about creating environments where people can be real, vulnerable, and deeply loved, without shame, pretence, or religious performance. His ministry flows from the conviction that one healed heart can change a family, a community, and even a generation.

He lives in Melbourne, Australia, where he continues to write, minister, and walk with others into the Father’s outrageous love.
