The Lord is using the NewLife Behavior curriculum to facilitate a profound spiritual awakening among participants at a custodial center. Many inmates have reported a renewed sense of hope and purpose in their lives, leading to a desire for a deeper relationship with Christ. The 21 baptisms on August 4 are a testament to this transformation, indicating a significant commitment to their faith and a desire to live by Christian principles.

The program has fostered a strong sense of community within the center. Participants have formed supportive networks, encouraging one another in their spiritual journeys. This camaraderie has not only enhanced the overall morale among inmates but has also contributed to a more positive environment within the facility.

Initial observations suggest that inmates engaged in the NLBI program have shown improvements in behavior and interactions with staff and fellow inmates. The curriculum emphasizes personal responsibility and the importance of making positive choices, which appears to have influenced participants' conduct. Some have confessed that they have stopped smoking and using drugs, which was confirmed by the Custodial Officers.
