Nicholas James "Nick" Vujicic” born 4 December 1982) is an Australian Christian evangelist and motivational speaker born with Phocomelia, a rare disorder characterised by the absence of legs and arms.
Vujicic was born in Melbourne, Victoria, in 1982. His parents, Dušanka
and Borislav Vujičić, were devout Serbian Orthodox emigrants from Yugoslavia. His
parents became active in a Melbourne church. His mother attended nursing school
at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne while his father worked in
business management. Suffering from phocomelia, he was born without limbs.
According to Vujicic's autobiography, his mother refused to see him or hold him
while the nurse held him in front of her, but she and her husband eventually
accepted their son's condition and understood it as God's plan for their son.

dealing with a severe disability when he was seventeen, he started to give
talks at his prayer group.
