New Life
After being warmly congratulated for his faith decision by those at the mobile chapel, newly born-again Christian Daniel Mullins went back to his truck to get his Bible. Mullins followed the TFC tradition of getting his Bible dated and signed by all those who witnessed the day that he rededicated his life to Christ.

"Today is your spiritual birthday," one of the chaplains told Mullins, reminding him that he now has a new life.
