Watch: This Man Born Without Arms or Legs Has Shared His Faith with Millions

Josh Shepherd : Feb 20, 2018  Stream.org

Doctors cannot explain why Nick Vujicic was born without limbs. Today, he tells the world how he found hope-and has a bold message for the Church.

[Stream.org] Tens of millions have come to know his magnetic smile, whether in media interviews with the likes of Oprah Winfrey or through his best-selling books. Nick Vujicic has shared his story live at more than 3,000 speaking events in 68 nations. (Photo: Nick Vujicic praying at a tent meeting/courtesy of Life Without Limbs/via Stream.org)

Born without arms or legs, he has had severe physical challenges to overcome. He attempted suicide at age 10 after bullying by his peers. Vujicic (pronounced "voo-yi-chich") says a spiritual revelation changed his life. Having devoted 15 years to inspiring the world, today he has a renewed zeal to share his Christian testimony.

In his new book "Be the Hands and Feet," Vujicic recounts stories from his travels around the globe. The Australian-born evangelist reveals why he believes only the Gospel answers life's most difficult questions. Then he challenges Christians to go and share likewise. It's his most overtly faith-centered work to date.

Vujicic still sees motivational talks as an opportunity—"those speeches where I can't say the 'J word'," he notes. But he'd rather speak of Jesus, as he has to over eight million people face-to-face. One million have committed to Christian faith, reports Life Without Limbs. He spoke in an interview from his ministry base in California.

The One Eternal Thing

The Stream: How has your faith been a part of you overcoming the hardships you've faced?

Nick Vujicic: Growing up, I really doubted that God had a plan for me. As I prayed for a physical miracle of having arms and legs miraculously, it was not coming to pass. I wondered: where is the love of God? Why was I born this way? Many other questions were going through my mind.

At age 15, I read John chapter nine. A man was born blind and no one knew why he was born that way. Jesus said, "It was done so that the works of God would be revealed through him." That's when I realized that God had a plan for a blind man, but he also has a plan for me. That's the whole idea of this book.

It's very easy in our lives to get so caught up with our day-to-day routines and focusing on our struggles that we forget the bigger picture. Wherever we can, we need to share the Gospel. It's fantastic to preach the Gospel without words, I get that. We need to be able to share love and serve people.

The way God can turn anyone's life around is not only for us to receive as individual children. It's to then share how that transformation happened for us.

When God sees me face-to-face, He'll say, "Well done, My good and faithful servant." But maybe He might look over my shoulder and ask, "Who else did you bring?" When all is said and done, and you've run the race, the only thing you take is your soul-and letting others know about the redeeming power of Jesus Christ in their lives too.

When you know that, it gives you an eternal view of life. At one stage, I was wanting a miracle. But even when we don't get a miracle, we can still be a miracle for somebody else...
