Nick Vujicic(力克�胡哲, 澳大利亚励志演讲家, 他天生没有四肢,但勇于面对身体残障,创造了生命的奇迹。)
“If just one more person finds eternal life in Jesus Christ… it is all worth it. You can help me spread this message today!”(他是虔诚的基督徒)
Imagine getting through your busy day without hands or legs. Picture your life without the ability to walk, care for your basic needs, or even embrace those you love. Without any medical explanation or warning, Nick was born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia, without arms and legs. Three sonograms failed to reveal complications. And yet, the Vujicic family was destined to cope with both the challenge and blessing of raising a son who refused to allow his physical condition to limit his lifestyle.
Embrace:拥抱,sonogram:声波图,reveal:展示,destined:注定,blessing:祈祷
The early days were difficult. Throughout his childhood, Nick not only dealt with the typical challenges of school andadolescence, but he also struggled with depression and loneliness. Nick constantly wondered why he was different than all the other kids. He questioned the purpose of life, or if he even had a purpose.
Throughout:纵观,adolescence:青春期
According to Nick, the victory over his struggles, as well as his strength and passion for life today, can be credited to his faith in God. His family, friends and the many people he has encountered along the journey have inspired him to carry on, as well.
Since his first speaking engagement at age 19, Nick has traveled around the world, sharing his story with millions, sometimes in stadiums filled to capacity, speaking to a range of diverse groups such as students, teachers, young people, business professionals and church congregations of all sizes. Today this dynamic young evangelist hasaccomplished more than most people achieve in a lifetime. He’s an author, musician, actor, and his hobbies include fishing, painting and swimming. In 2007, Nick made the long journey from Australia to southern California where he is the president of the international non-profit ministry, Life Without Limbs, which was established in 2005.
Engagement:邀约,capacity:能力、容量,congregation:集会,dynamic:充满活力的,evangelist:传教士,accomplished:有学问的,ministry:部门,Limb:四肢
Nick says, “If God can use a man without arms and legs to be His hands and feet, then He will certainly use any willing heart!” Nick’s latest foray into radio will expand his platform for inviting men and women all around the world to embrace the liberating hope and message of Jesus Christ.
