In the journey of life, finding a place where one truly belongs and feels inspired can make all the difference. For many, New Life has become that beacon of hope and transformation.
For one of our New Lifers Jaylin, New Life has been a cornerstone in their spiritual and personal growth. “New Life has helped me in numerous ways,” he shared. “They have been instrumental in strengthening my relationship with Jesus Christ and inspiring me to leave behind my old self. I used to be a very violent person, not someone I was proud of. But New Life has shown me a different path.”
The impact of New Life extends beyond spiritual growth. It has provided opportunities and experiences that are rare and invaluable. “New Life has introduced me to things that my school never would have,” he explained. “The opportunities I’ve had here are ones I honestly don’t think I would have gotten anywhere else.”
But perhaps most importantly, New Life has created a sense of belonging and community. “They have become a home away from home,” he said, a sentiment that speaks to the heart of what makes New Life so special.
Inspired by the changes in his own life, Jaylin is now committed to helping others find their paths to transformation. “New Life has inspired me not only to change my ways but also to help others change theirs,” he said.
And of course, no mention of New Life would be complete without acknowledging the delicious food that brings everyone together. “They always feed me delicious food, especially Andrea’s legendary mac and cheese,” he added with a smile.
At New Life, transformation is not just a word; it’s a lived experience that continues to shape and inspire every member of the community we serve for 50-plus years.
