About the founder

Aario Shahbany, founder of Velyora

My name is Aario Shahbany. I live in Tenerife, Spain, I work as a senior software engineer, and I sit in a congregation here much like yours.

I was saved in 2019. I had been praying and asking the Lord what I could build for him, and one night the Spirit of the Lord guided me to Nehemiah 3:6: "...they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof." Shortly after, a pastor of a church here in Tenerife asked me whether I could build a check-in tool that would tell him when a member had stopped attending, so that he could make contact and follow up with someone who might be struggling. That is how Velyora began.

Velyora is now my full-time job. I have built it from the ground up to be secure and encrypted, and flexible enough to be useful to any church, whatever its size.

All glory be to our Lord Jesus Christ.

How Velyora helps

Some church members quietly stop coming. We give pastors a solution.

Will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one?

Matthew 18:12

We give you a free QR code. Your members scan with their phones.

You can also print it and put it at the front door.

Your welcome team can help them.

They fill in a form only first time. They check in, at every service.

All their data is locked. Secured for you. Even we cannot read them.

Then you can go to our website.

You can see who has checked in.

You can see who has stopped coming.

Be sure you know the condition of your flocks

Proverbs 27:23

Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Proverbs 16:24

How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!

So private, even we can't read it

So private, even we can't read it

Your members' names, emails and phone numbers are locked on their own phone, before they ever reach us. The key lives on their device and behind your login. It never reaches us. If someone stole our servers tomorrow, they would find nothing readable about your members. Your church still decides what it collects and why. What it collects is never ours to read.

Questions pastors ask us

What does it cost?

Every church gets 3 months of every feature for free. No card needed. After that, choose a plan. It costs 19.99 a month for one pastor, 49.99 for a pastor and three helpers, or 99.99 for as many helpers as you need.

Do my members need to install an app?

No. They use their phone's camera and browser. There is nothing to download. On the first visit they fill in a short form. If they ask their phone to remember them, every visit after that is a single tap.

What about someone without a smartphone?

Keep a tablet or laptop at the door with the kiosk link open. Anyone can type their name and check in.

Will you sell or read our data?

We won't. For your members' names and contact details, we can't. Those are locked, so only their own device and your login open them. We can see that your church exists, when it meets, and how many people came. We don't sell or share any of it. Prayer requests and pastoral notes use the same lock, so we can't read those either.

We already use ChurchTools, Planning Center or something similar. Can we still use Velyora?

Yes, and many churches do exactly that. Keep the software you have for everything it does well, and let Velyora look after what needs to stay private: check-in, missing-member alerts, prayer requests, pastoral notes and small groups. See how Velyora fits alongside it

What happens to our records if we stop paying?

Your account is paused. Your data stays, and you can download it or choose a plan at any time. If nobody signs in for 12 months, we delete it.
