Nick Vujicic
Nick Vujicic came and spoke in our weekend services. What's so special about Nick is that he was born without limbs. No hands, no legs. Just a stump of a leg or feet which he humorously called his "chicken drumstick". For someone with no limbs, he is just radiating optimism and cheerfulness, always joking and making all sort of "hand-jokes". That he would break his arms or he would run after us. And for someone with no hands, he is a great hugger! Thousands of people queued up after the service just to hug him and be hugged by him.
It was actually through him, through his positive attitude, his cheerfulness in the face of unfavorable circumstances, that the grace of God shone forth and was wonderfully magnified. When we looked at him, and saw what he had achieved (he can swim, fish, ride a horse, play football, completed a bachelor degree, amongst many other things), we saw what God did in him and could also do in us. Thousands of lives were touched that weekend. Many gave their lives to Jesus because of Nick. It was inspiring. It was just awesome. It blew us all away.

hmm.. can i give my view? you see, if today Nick is physically normal like us, has got pair of legs and hands, then the degree of faith and the impact that he can deliver to the people that know him will not be that great. It is because of the fact that he is physically least unfortunate to us yet he can be so happy, full of faith, such great speaker, this is the thing that when people see him only, they will know there is a GOd, our God. Bible says that, knowing that Peter and John are both uneducated and untrained, but yet they saw the boldness in them, and therefore the people knew that they had been with Jesus.
Whatever weakness we have, He can turn it around and use it to glorify His name.
