Great to see a friend of mine make it into the big league with his ministry. Nick Vujicic, a guy born with no arms and legs, was interviewed by the ABC 20/20 program and was aired in the US recently.

Here is the interview:

We were privileged enough to have Nick speak at an event in our town back in December - click here to check it out. I was stoked when I heard he was to be interviewed by the ABC and am glad I had a chance to view the interview.

Nick is one genuine guy and he wears his heart on his sleeve - which just happens to be tucked away at his shoulder cause he has no arms. I wish him all the best in his ministry and hopes he blesses the kids of the world through his life story.

Nick Vujicic. Hugging Machine!

pic17 On Saturday, 8 December, our church had the pleasure of hosting Nick Vujicic at a community outreach event in Melton, Australia. To those of you who don’t know Nick, he is a 25 year old guy born without arms and legs.

You can read up on Nick’s life story here and marvel at this amazing young man and how he views life through possibility and not disability. You see, Nick has a strong faith in Jesus and it’s this relationship that has allowed Nick the mindset to achieve incredible things despite being born without limbs.

Now at 25, Nick is an international motivational speaker to students and the corporate sector all round the world. He has spoken to over two million people and everywhere he speaks, people are amazed at this incredible young man.

Be sure to check out his website for more info on this guy. And for all you Youth Leaders, (Stuart!) you NEED to get Nick to speak at your event. He has a unique way of connecting with people and he is not shy to share the Gospel in a powerful way. You may have to wait in line though as he gets over 1400 requests to speak a year!

Nick has a soft spot for the community where our church is planted - one of the lowest socioeconomic areas of Melbourne, Australia. Like myself, many people in our little church plant have known Nick since he was born and marvel in what we see in him.

One aspect of Nick that makes him so likeable is the fact that he loves hugs. Although it might seem ironic for a guy with no arms to love hugs, trust me, you get hugged by Nick and you feel it.

After our event on 8 December, the hugs flowed for over 2 hours and went well into the night. I captured most of this on video and put together this little video. Hope you enjoy.
