"Nick" Vujicic born 4 December 1982 is an Australian Christian evangelist and motivational speaker born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder
characterised by the absence of all four limbs. As a child, he struggled
mentally and emotionally as well as physically, but eventually came to terms
with his disability and, at the age of seventeen, started his own non-profit
organisation, Life Without Limbs. Vujicic presents motivational speeches
worldwide which focus on life with a disability,
hope and finding meaning in life. He also speaks about his belief that God can
use any willing heart to do his work and that God is big enough to overcome any
disability.

and worked with the student council on fundraising events for local charities
and disability campaigns. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at
