HOPE YOU'RE PRAYING FOR ME.

I'M PRAYING FOR YOU.

I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE TO GIVE AN INTRODUCTION TO A MAN

THAT NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION.

WE ALL KNOW NICK VERY WELL.

WE ALL LOVE HIM.

HE JUST HAD A BABY, SO HE'S GROWING A FAMILY.

NICK TRAVELS THE WORLD, DOES EVANGELISM ON AN INCREDIBLE

MAGNITUDE.

HE HAS A BOOK CALLED "UNSTOPPABLE."

I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU THAT THIS IS A GUY LIKE NO OTHER GUY

I KNOW WHO HAS TAKEN A BAD SITUATION, AN UNFORTUNATE

SITUATION, WHAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD SAY IS A HANDICAP, AND

TURN IT INTO AN ASSET.

GOD CAN TURN SOMETHING AMAZING WHAT THE DEVIL MEANT FOR EVIL

GOD TURNED INTO SOMETHING VERY POWERFUL.

I WANT YOU TO GIVE A WARM INCREDIBLE OVER THE TOP AMAZING

MARVELOUS WELCOME TO NICK V.

THANK YOU.

YEAH, YOU MAY BE SEATED.

WELL, GOOD MORNING.

MAN, I LOVE COMING BACK TO THE ROCK CHURCH.

I WANT TO THANK SO MUCH PASTOR MILES FOR HAVING ME BACK, AND

THE PASTORAL TEAM HERE, I WILL NEVER FORGET THE LAST FULL

SERMON SUNDAY NIGHT.

DO YOU REMEMBER NINE GANG MEMBERS COMING FORWARD AND

LAYING THEIR LIVES DOWN AND THEIR KNIVES DOWN FOR THE LORD

JESUS CHRIST.

I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT NIGHT.

ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR ME.

AND WE HAVEN'T SLOWED DOWN AS A MINISTRY.

WE'RE GETTING MORE CLOSER TO GOD'S HEART IN HOW HE WANTS TO

STRATEGIZE OUR MOVEMENTS ACROSS THE WORLD AS WE ARE TRULY LIVING

IN A VERY SPIRITUALLY SIGNIFICANT TIME IN THE WORLD.

NOT ONLY ARE WE LIVING IN A SPIRITUALLY SIGNIFICANT TIME IN

THE WORLD, BUT WE HAVE SEEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN DOORS OPEN UP FOR

OUR MINISTRY "LIFE OUT LIMBS" AROUND THE WORLD.

I WANT TO TALK A BIT ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE ARE VERY EXCITED.

BEFORE I MOVE FORWARD, THOUGH, ABOUT THE PLANS THAT WE

IMPLEMENTED THIS YEAR, IN PLANNING 2013 THE GREATEST JOY I

CAN SHARE WITH YOU MY WIFE AND I GOT MARRIED ON THE 12TH OF

FEBRUARY 2012.

[APPLAUSE]

ON THE 13TH OF FEBRUARY 2013 WE

WERE GIVEN BY GOD OUR BABY BOY, KEOSHI JAMES VUJICIC.

THAT'S HIM RIGHT THERE.

SO, SO THANKFUL, AND THEY ARE JUST THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

IN MY LIFE.

MY WIFE IS THE MOST AMAZING WOMAN OF GOD THAT I'VE EVER MET,

AND WILL BE UNTIL I GET TO HEAVEN, AND ADORING HER, SERVING

HER AS HER HUSBAND IS JUST SECOND TO MY PRIORITY OF LOVING

GOD AS MY FATHER, SECOND, LOVING MY FAMILY.

THIRDLY, IMPLEMENTING WHATEVER GOD'S CALLING IS ON MY LIFE,

AMEN?

SO A FAMILY TAKES PRIORITY, AND I'M JUST SO THRILLED TO HEAR

THAT PASTOR MILES IS ON A LITTLE BIT OF AN SABBATICAL, SO GIVE

HIM A HUG FOR ME WHEN YOU SEE IT.

AND NORTH CAMPUS, THANK YOU EVERY FOR WATCHING MY LINE.

IN 2012 MY WIFE AND I, WE WERE SO EXCITED, COOL, NOW WE CAN

TRAVEL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TOGETHER, AND ONE OF THE

BIG THINGS THAT REALLY DREW MY HEART INTO HER AMONGST SO MANY

OTHER THINGS, OUR LOVE STORY IS IN THE BOOK "UNSTOPPABLE."

CHECK OUT THE RESOURCES OUT THERE, HOW WE MET WAS REALLY

COOL AT A SMALL SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT.

IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

I COULDN'T FEEL MY LEGS WHEN I SAW HER, PALMS SWEATY, THE WHOLE

DEAL.

IT'S THIS REALLY COOL STORY.

WE WERE LOOKING IN 2013, AND WE, FUNDING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE

UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES THAT GOD HAS GIVEN THE MINISTRY WHERE I

CAN GO INTO PLACES LIKE CHINA, AND BE INVITED BY THE

GOVERNMENT, SPEAK TO 40,000 PEOPLE IN UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES

WHERE SADLY COLLEGE STUDENTS WERE JUMPING OFF BUILDINGS

BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID THERE WOULD BE NO JOBS AT THE END OF

THEIR STUDIES.

TOP 1% OF STUDENTS WERE COMMITTING SUICIDE.

WE WENT THERE, AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD THE CAMPUSES WE WERE ABLE

TO SHARE IN, 80% OF THOSE SUICIDE RATES DROPPED STRAIGHT

AWAY, AND THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT ASKED ME TO GO BACK.

THEY PUT ME ON TV TO 40 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS LATER, AND WE ARE

JUST SO THANKFUL FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY.

WITH THAT TRACT RECORD DOORS HAVE OPENING UP ALL ACROSS THE

WORLD INCLUDING PLACES LIKE VIETNAM.

US UNDERSTANDING THE UNIQUE CALLING WHERE GOD HAS CALLED

LIFE OUT LIMBS MINISTRY TO PREACH TO 7 BILLION PEOPLE.

MY GOD IS BIG, AND HE ALWAYS PAYS FOR WHAT HE ORDERS.

HE HAS ASKED AND CALLED ME AND MY WIFE TO TOGETHER PREACH TO

7 BILLION PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.

I JUST WANT YOU TO BE ENCOURAGED AND UNDERSTANDING IF YOU, FIRST

OF ALL, DO NOT FEEL THAT YOUR EVANGELICALLY IMMERSED AND

ENGAGED WITHIN YOUR CHURCH COMMUNITY SAN DIEGO, TO GET

ENGAGED.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

PUT YOUR HAND UP IF YOU'RE IN MINISTRY THROUGH THIS CHURCH

PARTICULARLY, ACTIVELY?

AWESOME.

PUT YOUR HAND UP IF YOU CAN SAY IN EACH OF YOUR MINISTRIES THAT

IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE MORE PEOPLE HELPING YOU TO DO WHAT

GOD IS WANTING YOU TO DO.

AWESOME.

THE REST OF YOU, I'M GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT AS WELL.

IT IS JUST AWESOME TO SEE GOD IMPLEMENTING THE CALLING AND

PURPOSE HE HAS SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

ME AND MY WIFE, WE THOUGHT, WELL, OKAY, LET'S DO 27

COUNTRIES.

AND WE PRAYED ABOUT IT, AND WE LAID IT DOWN BEFORE THE LORD,

AND WE SAID, OKAY, WE WERE PLANNING THAT IN THE FIRST

QUARTER OF THIS YEAR WE WOULD DO ABOUT NINE OR TEN COUNTRIES, AND

THEN SORT OF OVER HERE IN AMERICA WE'LL DO SOMETHING LIKE

ANOTHER 13 COUNTRIES PLUS.

AND SO WE LOCKED IN THE STADIUM IT'S.

TOLD OUR COORDINATORS THAT WE'RE DOING IT.

GOD HAS CALLED US TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO 300 MILLION ACTUAL

SOULS.

WE GO INTO A NATION WE DO FOUR THINGS.

WE DO A STADIUM, A PRESS CONFERENCE, A GOVERNMENTAL

MEETING AND A HUMANITARIAN MEETING THAT IS BROADCAST.

I'M SO BLESSED THAT IN NATIONS WHERE SYSTEMS ARE NOT WELCOME

ALL THE TIME THEY PUT IT ON THE TELEVISION.

IN 30% OF THE COUNTRIES WE'RE DOING THIS YEAR IS BROADCASTED

TO 80% THE COUNTRY POPULATION.

SO WE JUST CAME BACK FROM THIS LEG, AND 140 MILLION PEOPLE

INCLUDING 17 MILLION IN VIETNAM, IN VIETNAM, NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN

ABLE TO MENTION GOD, HEAVEN, JESUS, SALVATION, ON NATIONAL

TV.

GOT PICKED UP BY AP ASSOCIATED PRESS, YAHOO, CNN, AND FOX,

THEIR WEBSITE AS WELL.

THE HEADLINES, THIS LIMBLESS AUSTRALIAN EVANGELIST, SOMETHING

LIKE THIS.

THE COOL THING IS HAVING NO LIMBS, IF I DO SOMETHING WRONG

NO ONE IS GOING TO HANDCUFF ME.

I'M SPEAKING FAST.

I WANT TO YOU KEEP UP WITH ME AT THIS PACE BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT

TO SHARE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD MY TESTIMONY BEFORE.

PUT YOUR HAND UP IF YOU HAVE SEEN ME SPEAK BEFORE.

PUT YOUR HAND DOWN.

PUT YOUR HAND UP IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD ME SPEAK BEFORE.

PUT YOUR HAND UP IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME TO THIS CHURCH,

WELCOME.

DEFINITELY COME BACK.

SO IN ORGANIZING ALL THESE COUNTRIES, THEN WE FOUND OUT

THAT ME AND MY WIFE, WE WERE PLANNING ON NOT HAVING CHILDREN

UNTIL LATER.

WELL, GOD VETOED THAT, AND IN SUCH AN AWESOME BLESSING HAVING

KEOSHI IN OUR LIFE.

WE HAD THE CHOICE TO EITHER CANCEL THE STADIUMS, PRESS

CONFERENCES, BLAH-BLAH-BLAH, OR CONTINUE ON.

MY WIFE AND I FELT THAT THIS YEAR WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT

YEAR IF I HAD TO GO WITHOUT THEM.

WE BELIEVE THAT GOD WANTED ME TO GO STILL.

AND LEAVING AN EIGHT-WEEK-OLD BOY WAS MY FIRST, JUST WAS HARD.

I JUST HAVE AN AMAZING WOMAN OF GOD STANDING BY ME IN MINISTRY.

SHE GOT THE ARTICLE, NICK'S ON YAHOO.

SHE SAID, BABE, IF YOU WERE GONE FOR THE WHOLE MONTH, JUST FOR

THE FRUIT OF VIETNAM THAT HAPPENED IN A WINDOW OF 48

HOURS, IT WAS WORTH IT.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

WE LIVE IN AN AWESOME TIME, SO GO, BABY, GO, IN OTHER WORDS.

SHE'S JUST AWESOME.

I WANT TO OPEN THAT UP AND ASK YOU FOR PRAYERS BECAUSE WE'RE

GOING TO 9 OF 13 COUNTRIES OF SOUTH AMERICA IN A FOUR-WEEK

SPAN.

EFFECTIVELY REACHING 140 MILLION MORE PEOPLE THIS YEAR.

5% OF THE WORLD THROUGH OF OUR MINISTRY WILL HEAR THE GOSPEL.

WE'RE BLESSED.

WE'RE HONORED, WE'RE ENGAGED, AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A

HARD THING.

MINISTRY IS NOT EASY.

CAN I HEAR AN AMEN.

YES, IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO TRY AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO FIND YOUR

BALANCE IN WORSHIPING GOD FIRST AS A CHILD OF GOD.

HAVING THAT FAMILY AS A PRIORITY AND THEN MINISTRY, AND NO ONE

WILL EVER FIND A PERFECT BALANCE, BUT I WANT TO URGE YOU

IN UNDERSTANDING WHY WE DO THIS.

IT IS ALL ABOUT LOVE, L-O-V-E.

SAY LOVE.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT LOVE, I KNOW I HAVEN'T PRESENTED

ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE THE OTHER PREVIOUS SERVICE.

I WAS BLESSED, AND I'M SURE YOU WILL BE AS WELL.

TURN TO MATTHEW 7.

WE'RE GOING TO READ FROM THREE PASSAGES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU

HAVEN'T HEARD ME SPEAK BEFORE.

I'M GOING TO QUICKLY COVER MY TESTIMONY IN A FAST NUTSHELL FOR

THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW ABOUT MY STORY.

I'M 30 YEARS OLD, BORN IN AUSTRALIA.

NO ARMS, NO LEGS, BORN THIS WAY FOR NO MEDICAL REASON.

MY BROTHER AND SISTER BORN WITH LIMBS.

MY DAD WAS A PASTOR.

HAS BEEN FOR 27 YEARS.

HEARD ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD, HEARD ABOUT THE LOVE OF GOD,

THERE WERE TIMES WHERE I WAS HAPPY AS A CHILD, BUT I ENTERED

DEPRESSION AS AGE 8.

I WAS IN DEPRESSION FOR FIVE YEARS FEELING THAT GOOD EITHER

WASN'T REAL, DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ME, DIDN'T LOVE ME, I WASN'T

GOOD ENOUGH.

I WASN'T PRAYING HARD ENOUGH, ALL THESE LIES.

WHATEVER THOUGHTS COME INTO OUR MIND, IF IT DOESN'T LINE UP WITH

GOD, IT ISN'T FROM GOD.

WE KNOW THE PRINCIPALITIES ON THE EARTH ARE TRYING TO TAKE OUR

HOPE.

JEREMIAH 29:11, GOD SAYS HE HAS A PLAN, HOPE, AND A FUTURE.

IF I WANT TO GIVE A GIFT, AND IF IT'S A GIFT THAT'S WRAPPED UP

FOR YOU TO ACTUALLY BENEFIT FROM ME GIVING YOU A GIFT YOU HAVE TO

RECEIVE IT.

YOU HAVE TO OPEN IT.

YOU HAVE TO OPEN UP THE BOX.

YOU HAVE TO GET THE MANUAL OUT.

THE MANUAL FOR LIFE IS THE WORD OF GOD.

THERE IS NO ONE GREATER.

IF YOU HAVEN'T FOUND YOUR PURPOSE YET AND YOU'RE STILL

LOOKING, YOU KNOW THERE IS A GREATER PERSON THAN JUST BEING A

GOOD PERSON.

YOU KNOW THERE MAY BE SOMETHING BEYOND THIS LIFE, THIS

60-YEAR-OLD LIFE.

YOU HAVE BEEN CREATED FOR GOD FOR AN ETERNAL PURPOSE.

IF YOU FOUND THAT PEACE AND HOPE YET I WANT TO ENCOURAGE TO YOU

SAY THAT THERE IS NO ONE BETTER TO TELL YOU YOUR PURPOSE THAN

THE ONE WHO CREATED YOU.

SO STOP LOOKING AT YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES, JUST LOOK UP.

FOR ME IT WAS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT GOD COULD USE A MAN

WITHOUT ARMS AND LEGS.

AND THAT GOD COULD HAVE SOMETHING BETTER THAN NOT TO

GIVE ME ARMS AND LEGS.

IF I WAS DYING TO CANCER, TO ME THERE WOULD BE NOTHING BETTER

THAN FOR GOD TO HEAL ME.

I'VE EVEN MIRACLES.

I'VE SEEN BLIND PEOPLE, DEAF PEOPLE, AND YES, I HAVE A PAIR

OF SHOES IN MY CLOSET JUST IN CASE HE SAYS YES.

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW AS A CHILD, NOR DID MY PARENTS KNOW THAT GOD

WOULD USE ME THE WAY I AM TO SHOW THE MIRACLE THAT HAPPENS ON

THE INSIDE WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN AN OUTSIDE

MIRACLE.

YOU ALL HAVE ARMS AND LEGS, BUT LOOK AT YOU.

I'M KIDDING.
