Nick Vujicic

Another one of my heroes is Nick Vujicic. He was born without arms or legs. They didn't know he didn't have any limbs because it didn't show up on the ultrasounds. At first his parents didn't want to see him or hold him. No one brought his mom flowers when he was born. It was caused by tetra-amelia syndrome.
It was very hard for Nick growing up and kids teased him for the way he looked or because he was different. When he was 10 years old, he tried to drown himself, but his love for his parents stopped him.
Today Nick is very independent and is a Christian. He goes all around the world and speaks to people and encourages them. God has used Nick in BIG ways for Him and His kingdom.
Nick likes to swim, which he learned to do as a kid and he also got married on 12 February 2012! He stared in the short film The Butterfly Circus and even met and talked with Bethany Hamilton.
God can use anyone to share His word and His love.

  1. People like that are inspiring. They make my problems seem small. What a great role model for others and for Christians, too.
