Jeetendra Singh is Senior Pastor of NayaLife Community Church in Aurora, CO. He planted “NLCC” in 2011. God gave Jeetendra a vision to reach the people of Aurora. He started with a prayer drive around the communities in Aurora. While on a prayer walk, he met a lady named Monmaya Khanal. He started building a relationship with her and her family. Through their friendship, he met the Sharma family. These two families wanted to have church, but Jeetendra did not want to start a church. He just wanted to reach the lost and bring them to the church where he was serving as a Worship pastor. People kept asking him when the would start a church.
Finally, in February 2011, they had their first service in a one bedroom apartment on Moline Street in Aurora. Ten people showed up for first service. He thought people would get tired and only attend one or two services before stopping. Figuring they would be done and there would be no church the next week, they were shocked when 20 people showed up. Wow! He was thinking, what is God doing in this one bedroom apartment? Surely, next week there will be no more church; and, instead 30 people showed up to that one bedroom apartment. Finally, Pastor Jeetendra was convinced that it was God asking him to start this church.
Before starting NayaLife Community Church, they prayed a lot to be sure if it was God’s will, it will not stop. Starting a new church was to be in the hand’s of God and not just their idea. But, instead of stopping, the church started growing. Since 2011, they have reached over 250 people personally and grown the regular congregation to more than 100 attendees.
