Nick Vujicic is a young man, 22 years of age, a resident of suburban Brisbane, Queensland. Nick has a positive approach to life, is outgoing and friendly, with a happy, cheerful personality. He has a smile that makes anyone feel comforted and at ease. But life hasn’t been easy for him.
His parents had eagerly anticipated the birth of Nick, their first child. But when he arrived, all his mother could say was, “Please, take him away!” Nick, although generally healthy, was born with neither arms nor legs.

Now Nick works as an inspirational speaker. Nick says his interest in young people comes from a deep concern about the high rate of suicide among teens. “If I can save just one, I’d feel I’ve achieved,” he says.
Although Nick says he’s already seen God’s glory revealed through his own early struggle of life without limbs, he continues to dream big. “My dreams won’t be fulfilled until I take my last breath, but I’m content right now, with my life in God’s hands.”
