Nava Jeeva Ashram

Nava Jeeva Ashram (New Life Ashram) was established in India in 1978, a Christian Organization by Dr. John Thannickal and a team of seven members. Ashram means a disciplining center, in obedience to the great commission of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20) Dr. Thannickal received this vision while studying at Fuller Theological Seminary (Pasadena, California) seeking to apply the mission principles to the cultural context of India. We gratefully look back over the past 30 years to celebrate God's blessings in enlarging the various ministries under Nava Jeeva Ashram.  Nava Jeeva Ashram Churches     The main function of the Ashram is teaching the Word of God. "Commit the word to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" is our motto. The ashram also helps with church planting in the remote villages of Karnataka and supports poor and needy children. We praise our Lord Jesus Christ for His grace and faithfulness in helping us to make a difference in the land of India. Mission in the 21st century in India is to share the love of God through teaching, preaching and serving the needs of humanity to overcome the barriers of color, caste, custom, nationality, language and religion.     NEW LIFE COLLEGE
