No hands. No arms. A suicide attempt at age 10. One prophecy from a janitor and one chapter from the Gospel of John. This is the story of Nick Vujicic, who has has preached to hundreds of millions, spoken to nearly 3 billion people, and talked in virtually every major nation on the planet. His story doesn't seem possible, but that's the point.
