Nick Vujicic was born without arms and legs. Yet he has become a source of hope for millions around the world.
We all face moments when life feels unfair. We wonder why we struggle while others seem to have it easy, or we question whether God really cares about our pain. Nick’s story reminds us that our worst circumstances can become our greatest ministry.
How Nick Sees His Life Today
In a recent I AM SECOND video, Nick said something that might surprise you: “I love my life.” This man, who many would pity, celebrates his existence with joy.
“I knew I had no arms and legs, but I didn’t think it was such a big deal until the world told me that I was an alien, that I was ugly, that I wasn’t good enough.”
The Difficult Beginning
The early years brought real struggles. When Nick was born, doctors were so shocked they apologized to his parents. They were sorry they hadn’t found the condition during ultrasounds to give them an option for abortion.
The medical team believed Nick would never have quality of life.
The Darkest Years of Childhood
Those childhood years were dark. Despair hit Nick so hard that he tried to end his life at age 10.
“I convinced myself there was no hope. I convinced myself that there was no God. But if there was a God, He was simply unfair. I prayed for a miracle. And a miracle did not come.”
The Turning Point at Age 13
Everything changed when Nick turned 13. After he hurt his “little foot,” the only limb he has, something clicked. “I’ve got to be thankful for what I have instead of being angry for what I don’t have.”
He started reading the Bible and found comfort in John 9, the story of the blind man. “If God has a plan for a blind man, God’s got a plan for me.”
Finding His Calling to Speak
High school brought a new discovery. Nick had a gift for speaking. “It was the janitor at my high school who saw me speak in front of my school peers as the vice president,” he remembered.
This janitor told him he would become a speaker who would reach the whole world. That prediction came true.
His Global Ministry Impact
Nick’s impact spreads far beyond what most people achieve. The Christian Post reports that he has spoken in 78 countries. He has addressed nearly 10 million people face to face and reached 2.8 billion people through television.
These numbers tell only part of the story. What matters most is his message of hope and faith.
The Greatest Miracle
Nick leads “Champions for The Brokenhearted,” a ministry that helps people in crisis.
When he shares his story, he points to what he calls the greatest miracle: “The greatest miracle of all that I’ll ever receive in my life is my soul being saved, me being filled with the Holy Spirit, having a relationship with Jesus while I abide in Him, and He abides in me.”
Nick travels the world with one clear message. No matter what you face, you are not forgotten. Your life has value beyond measure. With faith and trust in God, you can also bring hope to others who struggle.
“I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” – Jeremiah 29:11.
