-
I was born in Melbourne, Australia, 1982. And my parents had no idea that I was going
-
to be born without arms or legs. I was the only one that I ever saw without limbs.
-
My faith in Jesus Christ was sealed after seven years of wondering why, God, I was born this way.
-
He answered me very clearly through John, chapter 9, and I gave my life to Jesus
-
at 15 after reading about how he came across a man who was born blind. And I'm like hey,
-
hold on a second, this looks interesting. And no one knew why he was born that way,
-
I'm like, perfect! So I read on, and in verse three of the ninth chapter,
-
Jesus said it was done so that the works of God would be revealed through him.
-
And I'm like wow, God, if you had a plan for the blind man, you do have a plan for me.
-
And that was the beginning of my personal relationship with Jesus.
-
Youth groups were starting to call me, churches were starting to call me, opportunities were
-
opening up everywhere for me to share my testimony. I was speaking in front of 300 sophomore public
-
high school students. Three minutes into it, half the girls were crying. One girl in the
-
middle of the room started weeping. She put up her hand, and she said "I'm so sorry
-
to interrupt, but can I come up there and give you a hug."
-
In front of everyone, she came and she hugged me, she cried on my shoulder, and whispered
-
in my ear "no one's ever told me that they loved me, no one's ever told me that
-
I'm beautiful the way that I am." I couldn't believe it; it changed my life. At that moment,
-
I know God was ministering to her through me. It's not by my speech or my power;
-
it was God. And my heart was ignited with a passion, and it was an awesome day to see one soul
-
transformed forever. That was when I knew I was called to be a worldwide evangelist.
-
Today, do not leave here unchanged. Leave here unchained.
-
You just don't know what God can do with your broken pieces until you give God your broken pieces
-
I want you to know when you fall down, God's grace is a vision. God's hand will come down and pick you up;
-
Give you the strength to get back up.
-
In the first seven years of ministry God opened up doors for me to speak 2000 times across 44 countries on six continents.
-
from university campuses, 40,000 students in China, to India, where I was talking to sex slaves,
-
to crowds in the jungle of India, 110,000 people. Down to Indonesia and all of southeast Asia
-
to speaking at congresses of nations, like Colombia and Costa Rica, where you see
-
the leaders of the nation commit that country to the Lord Jesus. To Korea and speaking to
-
the next generation about depression and suicide, and to Eastern Europe where we did Serbia,
-
Slovenia, and Croatia. And then doors in the Middle East with the message of hope was spread
-
throughout the whole Arab world. That is God. And we know we've just begun.
-
By the grace of God, we have seen face to face a half of million souls say yes to Jesus,
-
and be plugged into a local church. As crazy as it sounds, our goal at Life Without Limbs Ministry
-
is to preach to every single soul on the planet. Seven billion people.
-
We believe that this goal is possible, as the holy spirit is gathering an army and building up supporters
-
to send us and accomplish this mission. But this all takes support. And yes, I ask
-
for your prayers, pray for us, pray for our board, pray for our staff, and our team. But
-
we could not do this much, where we've come this far, without the people who financially
-
support us, in actively sending us to complete the mission before us.
-
We are praying by faith that the holy spirit speaks to you about supporting us and becoming
-
a partner in helping us to accomplish this awesome mission ahead.
-
God is good, all the time. Alright.
-
My story is the story of redemption. Help us share it with the world so that others will be free indeed.
