When I first interviewed Nick Vujicic, he had just appeared on ABC's 20/20.
I knew he was something special.
But I was floored when I had the chance to speak with him.
I can't recall a more powerful and inspiring conversation in my 8+ years here.
You see, Nick was born without arms or legs.
As a child he tried to commit suicide.
"Why am I like this?" he cried to God.
God doesn't always answer the "Why Question".
But this time He did.
Nick picked up his Bible and read these words:
John 9:1-3 (ESV) "As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" "Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him."
"I was born this way for the glory of God."
"To point others to Him."
Nick accepted Christ and began to grow in the faith.
And God has given him opportunities to share the good news of Jesus in places other people would never be able go.
Sunday night he was given the opportunity to speak a huge audience at the Salt Lake Mormon Tabernacle.
Amazing!!!!
He's only the third evangelical Christian to do that in the past 100 years.

Here are some articles from the local Salt Lake City News Media
Here's one I like a lot.
