Testimonies
Real stories. Real transformation.
Don't take our word for it. Hear from the men whose lives have been changed and the volunteers who've witnessed it firsthand.
Tony
Program Graduate
“Wow. Honestly, this shocked me at first… I cried twice so far. Not just because of the difference that NBF has made in my life, and what a huge difference that was. But because of the eternal truth that I was taught in your classes, through the spirit, from the word.”
“There is no doubt in my mind, after living and loving at NBF, that God knows me and loves me. NBF is alive with the spirit of God, and not only can you feel it, but you get to see it and experience it in real life.”
“When I had no one, nothing, and nowhere else to turn, God had his hand in this from the start. And he used you to save me. So thank you for listening when God calls you. I have a chance to live for eternity, thanks to you.”
Peter
Resident → Program Leader
After leaving prison, Peter came to New Beginnings Florida as a resident participant and never expected to step into leadership. Over time, Dave began asking him to help in more ways, and it became clear he had a steady, servant-hearted approach — grounded in listening to God.
Even while incarcerated, he facilitated programs with a variety of groups and discovered a deep passion for teaching and encouraging others. Today, he's committed to walking alongside the men in the program and sharing the love of God in a way that's real, consistent, and life-changing.
Paul Gruenther
Kairos Volunteer & Supporter
“Our Mighty GOD has given me the awesome opportunity to be part of the re-birth of men who made serious mistakes and therefore, paid a significant price. Since GOD offers forgiveness to all, these Children of GOD deserve the hope for eternal life.”
“Through Peter's coaching and experience sharing, I gained a deeper understanding of the inmate's perspective, the prison culture and the struggles of the transition process. I look forward to continuing this Christ-centered journey to bring men to GOD and grow in my own Christian faith.”
New life. New beginnings.
Many of our men choose to be baptized during their time in the program — a powerful declaration of their new life in Christ.
