  • >>People know about Nick’s story. He is not a stranger; people knows about him, his

  • belief, his faith in God. But I think what people will be interested to know will be

  • hey, there should be other people who grow up with you. From time to time I receive questions

  • from, say, churches or even from schoolsif I have a special needs children, what should

  • I do. So, we are trying to being the more three-dimensional view of how Nick become

  • Nick today. I think this is a more complete pictures of what family values and family

  • ministry can do in future. We have arrived on ferry from Hong Kong to

  • Macau. We did two stadiums before here in Macau. Was that full on preaching? Full on

  • preaching, two stadiums sold out. We had some traction here from a couple years ago, so

  • it’s great to be back. It’s good to travel with my sister, actually. It’s great to

  • see her. And she feels the Lord wants her to be using the ministry of music. So I’m

  • proud of her and I’m proud to see what God wants to do with her life, and it’s great

  • to have her along. >>I’m Michelle Vujicic. I am a nurse by

  • trade, and I’m also an aspiring musician. It’s always been a bit of a passion of mine,

  • but something that I kind of always ignored because I’m too afraid to show it to the

  • world; it’s kind of a thing I do on my own. And I talked to Nick, and he’s like, Michelle,

  • just do what it is resonating deep down inside you, youve got to do that. Cause if you

  • don’t use the gifts that youve been given, youre not living to your full purpose and

  • potential. Where did you fly from? So you flew from Canada.

  • >>From Vancouver. Edmonton to Vancouver. You did that month in the cabin, no?

  • >>I did. It got a little lonely, a little bit. I went a little bit insane.

  • >>He was like, why don’t you just come and sing for me in the background after I do my

  • speeches. My initial reaction was absolutely not, not doing it, not at all. But for some

  • stupid reason, I agreed to it, and I love the message that Nick always brings to the

  • world with his ministry. And I wanted to be part of something bigger than myself, and

  • I’d love to be there and support him in it.

  • >>…after dinner tonight, were going to have a sort of first real talk, at 8:00. So

  • wetoday, we should be finishing by 10. >>I didn’t really know what to expect in

  • Macau, like, and they said oh Michelle, you know, Nick’s going to be speaking here today,

  • and youre going to be singing your song tonight. And I’m like, great, you know.

  • >>Oh, good to know. [Unintelligible]

  • This is a warm-up for the big one. So, how do you feel about all that?

  • >>It’s just going to be one song. Oh. Which one are you doing?

  • >>Youve never heard it. Our song or your song?

  • >>Which song? Your song?

  • No, I’m just asking you. Are you doing your song? Not our song. Me and Ignatius, we wrote

  • a couple songs. >>Did you write one?

  • Yeah. >>Is that the one I’m doing tonight?

  • >>No, youre doing your own song. Oh, good! Can’t wait to hear it. Home? Good.

  • >>I think it was just meant to be Nick speaking, and then Fran talked to me that day. I think

  • it was only like two hours before I was meant to sing, she’s like, and youre singing

  • your song today, by the way. And I’m like, oh. Great, you know? Had a little bit of a,

  • like a panic attack in my stomach, felt like puking for a second there, but it was OK,

  • I’m like, OK, keep cool. >>So nervous that night. I just didn’t feel

  • ready yet, mentally. Like I just wasn’t mentally there yet. But I was like, you know

  • what, God, I need You, so you know Youre going to have to be my strength today, I can’t

  • do this without You. So, the first, like, 12 seconds that I was singing or more, I was

  • so nervous, and you could totally tell in my voice. After that, I was like, no, and

  • I just closed my eyes, I just remember I think I closed my eyes the whole time, just like

  • ignored everybody that was there and just pretended like I was the only one. Just tried

  • to sing as much as I could from the heart. >>Hope, call me hope.

  • Wow. Great. >>Thank you.

  • >>Then it was the first time me and Nick were on stage together, actually talking about

  • our lives, like, me as a sibling with Nick, and what it was like to be his sibling growing

  • up, and I don’t know, it just felt, it felt nice to be next to Nick, and felt at home.

  • Thank you. Love you. Can we thank Michelle again? I have never heard her sing in public

  • in front of a crowd like this, ever. I’m so proud of her, proud to be a brother of

  • her. >>Nick asked the questions, we all did it

  • very spontaneously, and he was really good. He’s really good at thinking on his feet,

  • actually, Nick. I thought it was a very special moment for me, anyway, to see Nick on stage

  • and to see what he does with all these people, and to be a part of it for that moment was

  • a real honor for me, and it was a really great experience.

  • Seriously, you know, I’m not bullcrapping, like when I talk about music, like that’s

  • reallythat was really awesome. >>You know, I wrote that song in like, a minute.

  • Unbelievable. >>Spontaneous song.

  • Youre so anointed, that’s what… >>I’m not anointed.

  • >>A-noin-ted! A-noin-ted! >>So how was your night, Nick?

  • My night, it was, uh, incredibly… >>What did you think of tonight?

  • I thought Michelle Vujicic did an incredible job.

  • >>And I disagree. Anyway. She came on very genuine, and, no, very very

  • professional singer. Just beautiful with her heart, and but you were very, very spot on.

  • The song’s beautiful. >>OK, anything else?

  • I want to hear it again. I want to hear it again. Seriously, it was unbelievable to see

  • you. >>OK, I don’t take that very well. I actually

  • take it as mockery, I don’t know why. I do, I don’t believe it.

  • You have to learn to accept compliments. >>Yeah.

  • >>That night, I was told I was going to be singing with one other lady, Renee. I think

  • about an hour before that, she’s like, no no no. I’m not singing tonight, it’s just

  • you singing. I’m like, oh great. >>I just need to get my brain. It’s getting

  • better, slowly. >>And for some reason, I was so tired and

  • I don’t know if it was the heat as well, but like an hour before I was to perform,

  • I could not think. >>Thank you Jesus. And when I have a bad day,

  • and Dear Lord. That’s it! I have just solved the problem. Dear Lord….

  • >>It was a great experience again for me just to sing with all these gorgeous kids, theyre

  • like, dressed in like sailor’s outfits, and theyre like, three or four or five

  • years old, and theyre all holding hands, and theyre like swaying in the background.

  • Super cute. I don’t know how I got through that night. All I can say is, God gave me

  • a real peace to get through it, and a strength that I simply didn’t have. And I just trusted

  • him with it, and it worked out really well that night.

  • >>I’m the stage managerAre you? OK, great.

  • >>I just want to check with you one thing real quickly, because, uh, tonight after your

  • sharing, youll be doing a song together with Ruth and the symphony, right?

  • Really. >>I can get her anything.

  • I’m singing? >>Uh, the main singer will be Ruth.

  • >>I can get ready. You can get ready. So yes.

  • >>OK. So, yeah, that’s just what they wantFantastic. Alright.

  • [[Crosstalk]] One day he’s going to do that. Hey Nick,

  • youre on! Yeah, solo. A capella. >>It’s not spontaneous, you know. When I

  • plan for Nick’s schedule, or even run through Nick’s schedule, I try not to overdose him

  • with what’s going on tomorrow or the day after or the day after.

  • I want to thank you so much. And, uh, I know you wanted me to come here for a sound check

  • for I Can Do Anything. So, uh, you only get the last key, is that right? Alright. So what

  • key have you got. Laaaa! >>There’s a reason why we invite a choral

  • group together with Ruth to take the lead and sing, because we know Nick actually is

  • a…he’s not ready to sing, yet. I’ve never done this, ever anywhere. I’m

  • going to try it and sing. In front of a live audience. It is my honor to share the stage

  • with the singers coming up on stage. And the Macau Youth Symphony Orchestra. I’m nervous.

  • >>But I’m glad that, um, I was not there, that’s why, because if I was there, probably

  • Nick would have said No, Ignatius, I’m not going to do it. So, you know, but in front

  • of the request of the host party, probably Nick won’t say no. So it’s good, he’s

  • not playing, but I think it turns out great that Nick enjoys his own song. He can get

  • ready for this. I can get through anything, I can get through

  • anything if Jesus loves me. Hahaha. So we are here today on part two of the series

  • with interviewing Nathan Millnick. Today if youre watching from home, we have a special

  • guest, we have my sister, Michelle Vujicic. Everyone welcome Michelle to the show.

  • >>It’s been a pleasant time touring with you, Nick, it’s been quite an adventure.

  • Fantastic. So we want to give you the honor of asking Nathan Millnick

  • >>Some questions about you. What’s the most annoying thing about Nick?

  • >>Oh, wow! >>I’m allowed to ask these, you know.

  • >>I’m allowed to answer these. OK, so. I don’t really work for Nick anymore, so here

  • we go. OK, you really want to know? Here it is.

  • >>All the time! I’m sure youve got something. >>Nick only drinks coffee in the morning,

  • right? So, literally, he drinks coffee, he uses the restroom, and then takes a shower.

  • It’s been like an hour since he’s woken up, and youve been up for, like an hour

  • and a half. Guess what he says after that hour and a half. Good morning, Nate. You think

  • to yourself, Nick, I’ve been up for an hour and a half. Why are you saying good morning

  • now? But for him, apparently, that’s the point where you say good morning to somebody,

  • so. >>I’ll also give you the advice that he

  • gets angry, so keep… >>Hangry?

  • What’s hangry? >>Angry when youre hungry!

  • Oh. >>I was thinking like hand grenade plus angry.

  • >>Yes, that makes much more sense, Nate. But I don’t have a hand, anyway.

  • >>That’s the point! That’s why I didn’t understand the joke.

  • >>Well, of course, there is always room for more, deeper talks and, involvement in one

  • of the sessions they chit-chat and discuss about back to the old days, when Michelle

  • shared aboutshe was a bit shy and even shame of admitting she has a brother like

  • Nick. I think that brings some of the challenges on how to interact with a special needs brother,

  • and to be I would say to lift behind the shadow of Nick.

  • >>I wasn’t aware of Nick being teased when I was in school, though, when I saw him at

  • school. And I don’t think Nick was aware that I was also being treated differently

  • as well. Well, when Nick was being bullied, I don’t think he even told me or Erin, I

  • think he only told Mum, right? Yeah. I’m not even sure why he didn’t tell anyone

  • but you told Mum. Is there any reason? Well, I think I maybe felt a little ashamed,

  • or I didn’t want to admit that I was going through something, because I didn’t want

  • sympathy, you know, everybody was already sympathetic to me, you know, oh, he has no

  • arms no legs, and now I didn’t want people to say, oh, he has no arms no legs and he’s

  • getting bullied, you know, I didn’t want sympathy. But it’s not like I didn’t tell

  • anyone. So Mom and Dad knew. >>Yeah, cause I know that, I don’t think

  • us three actually communicated that with each other. Cause I think me and Erin were going

  • through stuff at school we didn’t tell you, because we didn’t want to make you feel

  • like it was your fault, and we didn’t really want that to be an issue, and I think you

  • didn’t tell us as well because you didn’t want it to be a burden to us.

  • You think it would have helped if we did? >>I think it would be healthy. I really think

  • it’s healthy if the whole family can communicate openly with each other to support each other.

  • I mean, I was younger when you were being bullied, but if I was, say, Erin’s age,

  • a bit older, I think it’s a very healthy thing for a family to do.

  • It’s a maturity in not always just thinking about yourself, but really seeing, OK, I’m

  • in a situation, who else is in that situation. I think that if, as a family we communicated

  • that, I think love would be reinforced in your life.

  • >>It brought back a lot of childhood memories, myself being asked a lot of questions from

  • my own childhood, and having to reflect on that. It was a great thing for me to just

  • remember where it came from, and just to remember what it was like to be a kid with Nick. I

  • mean, for the most part it was a lot of fun, and you don’t even realize that it’s a

  • bit different than other people, ‘cause for me it was just normal, and he still is

  • normal to me.

>>People know about Nick’s story. He is not a stranger; people knows about him, his
