Nick Vujicic is an Australian Christian preacher of Serbian descent.
Born in Brisbane, Vujcic came from a family of Serbian emigrants and had a very rare pathology: he was completely missing limbs – both legs and both arms. Partly there was one foot with two fingers, thanks to which the boy subsequently managed to learn to walk, swim, skate, play on the computer and write.
Despite his physical disabilities, the boy was born perfectly healthy, and when Victorian law changed, the parents decided to insist that his son be able to attend regular school. At the age of ten, he became desperate and decided to drown himself in the bathroom in his own house. However, it occurred to him to think how much pain this act would cause his relatives, and he decided not to do it.
In 1999, Nick began speaking to his own church group and soon decided to open a non-profit company, Life Without Limbs, as a result of becoming a preacher of the Word of God. His appeals are addressed to children and young people with disabilities.
In 2005, Nick Vujicic was nominated for the Young Australian of the Year award. In 2009, he began acting in the film.
The Butterfly Circus It was about a man without limbs named Will and what his fate was.
Nick managed to visit more than forty-five countries, he spoke at universities, schools and other organizations. He also participated in television shows and wrote books. His debut book, Life Without Limits, was published in 2010 and translated into Russian in 2012. Subsequently, Nick Vujicic moved to California, where he still lives.
