Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me.
We're here in Budapest, Hungary. We're just about to do a national press conference with
all the media, magazines, radio, and TV stations to bring a message of hope nationwide.
Thank you so much for your love and prayers; we're going to keep you updated every step of the way.
Cheers, bye-bye.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me.
First of all, my wife and my son send their love and greetings to everyone. Our boy is
only eight weeks old, and so it's hard to leave his side, but we are coming here with
a joyful heart and expectation that this is going to be a very historical event of inspiration.
In 2013, my wife and I truly believed the Lord is calling us to go and do a world tour.
So many countries were on our hearts to go to, planning out 27 countries. That's a big
load. And a couple months later, we found out that we were pregnant.
We'd just confirmed all these countries and tickets were starting to be sold, so we knew
that a crunch time would come when I would have to leave my wife and my son to go and
do the world tour. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life.
Was blind but now... ...I see.
Never give up!
I got contacted by the Never Give Up Foundation, and he asked me would I have the time, etcetra,
and I said yes, how much would you charge? Because I'm a professional interpreter and
I said Nick Vujicic, are you joking? I'm going to do it free of charge. Of course, I'm used
to working completley different settings; I work mainly for politicians and politics,
and the best part in it for an interpreter is you see the words coming. He starts a sentence,
and you actually know where we are going to end up.
My wife and I understand something very important. The value of one person coming to hope.
And by the grace of God, I will always have my relationship with God as priority number one.
My relationship with my family is number two. And anything we do with the world and for the world, number three.
And as difficult as it is right now to not be with my family,
I'm not coming here for anything else then to bring that one other person to real hope.
It's easy to interpet for him, because you're interpreting for someone who knows precisely
what he's saying.
When I was a kid, I didn't believe I would ever get married. I felt very depressed, but
at the same time, I felt deep within that maybe God did have someone for me. I met my
wife at a small speaking engagement. And when I saw her face, her smile took my breath away.
She had such a gentle heart. You could see her soul through her eyes.
I have a ring right here. Pull it out. That's my wedding band.
It's got the words "Love Prevails" on the inside. I just want to encourage everyone who is praying for their
future partner, if God gave me a partner, I reckon God can give anyone a partner.
Over the past 20 years, I've never actually cried during work. Today at the press conference,
if you were to listen to my voice, it cracked a few times, because I really had this feeling
that he was speaking to me also. Having done the day, it was the pinnacle of my career.
It was the absolute pinnacle of my career.
We are on the way right now to meet the President of Hungary. We are excited, we are privileged,
we are honored. A lot of people have been praying for us, and working hard for this
moment.
Nice to meet you. Yeah, hi. So nice to meet you. Thank you.
My wife read your book.
Oh, fantastic.
I believe that most countries in the world need healing, and meeting with the President
was incredible. One of the things that we talked about was forgiveness, and how the
President of Hungary was even talking to the President of Serbia about how they want to
publically forgive each other, for the hurt that each nation did to one another. I think
that's a wonderful example of how healing begins.
Thank you Lord for this friendship. Oh Lord God, we ask for an open heaven upon Hungary.
We ask God for favor in the things that Mr. President has seen in his vision for this
country. We ask God that your dreams will come true here on this land. May many hearts
be touched. Lord God, with my visit here in Hungary we pray Lord God that many hearts
which feel like giving up would not give up, and new hope would spring up in Jesus, and
we pray. Amen.
Love you so much. God bless you.
Put your hands on my shoulders. Thank You, Lord, that You're with him.
Thank you Lord that You would be with him. There are times when we feel alone, or feel like they have
to be strong.
Thank You, Lord, that You've given her the doctors and nurses to not just survive the
cancer, Lord, but thank You for the spirit of joy instead of heaviness.
Hello! How are you? What's your name?
Shall we pray? I'd love to pray.
Who would you like to pray? I'll pray. I have it on my heart!
Dear Lord, we just want to come before Your throne and we're going to give You thanks.
We thank You, Lord, for the fact that you brought Nick here. Lord, we pray for hearts
that are open, for ears that are willing to hear. Lord, we pray that You will lift up
this country, out of the darkness that it's in. We pray for each one here, Lord, that
You will bless us, that You will keep us, and Lord that Your light might shine through
us to glorify and honor You. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
One of the biggest things when you go into a foreign country of course is that language
barrier. I think that I've had about 110, 120 different translators over the last 11
years of speaking and preaching around the world. Sometimes it's hard to find a professional
translator who not only knows the words but can communicate the same spirit, you know.
A lot of these people haven't done this ever. Some translators, they come up to you and
they actually confess that they're a little nervous. I don't think this guy was really
well versed in these types of events, and while we were backstage, I saw he was sweating,
and I went up to him and I said if you're too nervous, we have someone else lined up.
I said, do you feel confident enough, and he said, yup.
