Nick 力克 Vuljicic - No Arms, No Legs & No Worries

佈道會由一名天生沒有四肢的澳洲人。力克說:「人生最大的殘障不是沒手沒腳,而是選擇放棄。」
感謝神讓我沒有手和腿,只要能拯救到一個靈魂便值得了,神的恩典確實夠我用!」力克(Nick Vujicic)他更鼓勵港人「要經驗神的愛和醫治,就可與人分享你的經歷。」佈道會由樂苗基金及中國基督教播道會同福堂主辦,分下午及晚上兩場,吸引了超過四萬多人參加,坐滿四個場館,當中不少一家大小、未信者及傷殘人士,對於力克的分享常報以熱烈掌聲,並不少人熱淚盈眶,感動不已。聚會開始時,先由九龍城浸信會管弦樂團、中國基督教播道會同福堂敬拜隊及教會樂圃帶領敬拜,接著有唱作人徐偉賢獻唱Never say Never、樂苗基金大使鄭子
康聯同生命小戰士合唱團(一班曾患癌症的小朋友)及香港傷健會見證並以手語演繹〈歡欣〉、只有三根指頭的鋼琴家黃愛恩博士演奏〈奇異恩典〉等。

My name is Nick Vujicic and I'm 25 years old. I was born without arms or legs and given no medical reason for this condition. Faced with countless challenges and obstacles, God has given me the strength to surmount what others might call impossible. Along with that, the Lord has placed within me an unquenchable passion to share this same hope and genuine love that I’ve personally experienced with more than two million people all over the globe.

雖然先天殘障,沒有雙手,卻可擁抱數以萬計聽眾;沒有雙腳,行蹤卻遍佈24個國家。他昨日在本港出席兩場佈道會,向4萬名觀眾打氣及示範如何沒有手腳也能「跌得低、爬得起」,感動了無數觀眾的心靈。
當觀眾得悉這名25歲的殘障年輕人,原來不但擁有財務規劃及會計兩個大學學位,還懂騎馬、游泳、駕車時,不少人都流露出驚訝神情。在台上的他說話時雙眼充滿神采﹕「若神沒有賜你一個你想要的神蹟,其實是想你成為別人的神蹟。」

Traveling extensively to over 24 nations, I've been extremely humbled by the continuous opportunities that the Lord has given me to share my testimony along with the hope that I have in Jesus with people in so many nations and situations. My greatest joy in this life is to introduce Jesus to those I meet and tell them of His great desire to get to know them personally by allowing Him to become their Lord and Savior.
兩年多前在電郵中看到 Nick 的見證已大受感動, 真的沒想到今天能親身近距離遇見他在本堂的佈道會及能參與侍奉. 十分震撼, 十分感動!!! 最後更有機會給他擁抱送上祝福:
為什麼沒有手沒有腳的青年人還要贊美上帝,有手有腳樣樣不缺的人卻還要埋怨上帝,...?
One of my favorite scriptures from the Bible is Psalm 139:17-18 that says, "How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.”

God has used me to let people know in countless schools, churches, prisons, orphanages, hospitals, stadiums and in face-to-face encounters with individuals how very precious they are to God. Secondly, it’s my pleasure to assure them that God does have a plan for their lives that is purposeful. For God took my life, one that others might disregard as having any significance and filled me with His purpose and showed me His plans to move hearts and lives toward Him. Understanding this, though faced with struggles, you can overcome too.
