Life Without Limits

If you have never heard of Nick Vujicic, you need to check him out NOW!!! Here's his website www.lifewithoutlimbs.org or search for him on youtube! This man is amazing!
Nick was in Utah for a 3 day event September 11th, 12th, and 13th. He spoke Friday and Saturday at The Salt Palace and Sunday at The Mormon Tabernacle.

The following is from the ERock Newsletter about the event. I want to remember all of this so here it is on my blog.

A Word From Pastor Bill Young

My head is still reeling from the Life Without Limits event featuring Nick Vujicic that swept through Utah last weekend. What an amazing opportunity God gave us! And what an even more amazing blessing God has left with us.

As you probably know, Nick was born without arms or legs. Yet despite his disabilities, God has used him to reach millions with the Good News of Jesus Christ. And now He can add 12,000 more people from Utah to that number — 355 of whom committed their lives to Christ during the crusade. God is SO good! And ever since watching Nick speak at the historic Mormon Tabernacle on Temple Square last Sunday evening, I have had three amazing thoughts going through my head.

My first thought was the realization that this was only the third time an evangelical Christian had spoken to an audience of both evangelicals and Mormons at Temple Square. The first was D.L. Moody in 1899, the second was Ravi Zacharias in 2004, and now Nick Vujicic on September 13!

My second thought was how fortunate we were — along with 60 other evangelical churches — to be able to host this event at the Tabernacle. I firmly believe that this opportunity was made possible because friendships were developed and nurtured between key Mormon and evangelical leaders. Both sides have chosen to “agreeably disagree” regarding our distinct and major doctrinal differences. We disagree, but friendships remain (1 Peter 3:15-16).

My third thought came as I watched the amazing follow-up crew from The Rock Church handing out response cards and passing out Gospel tracts. A sweet brother, Tadd Winter, mentioned to me, “You know, some people have been escorted away from Temple Square for doing what we are doing right now.” And I realized it was true! We were sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and passing out thousands of Gospel tracts at the Mormon Tabernacle because God had opened doors! Wow — what a surreal moment!

This reminds me of Ephesians 3:20-21, “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.”

And Amen! To God be the glory!

Matthew West performed on Friday night. Favorite lyrics of the night from Only Grace:
There's only grace
There's only love
There's only mercy and believe me it's enough
Your sins are gone
Without a trace
And there's nothing left now
There's only grace

Some of the Follow-Up Workers.

I volunteered as a Follow-Up Worker for Friday and Saturday. This was my first time ever doing anything like this. It was overwhelming (in a totally awesome way) to see so many people walk to the front of the stage to accept Christ and pray with Nick. After praying those saved were able to come over to us for more information and to find out what to do next. We handed out "Steps to Peace with God" tracts and a list of local churches to get them plugged into.

I found out Nick was doing a special event for Youth. I invited my favorite teenager, Lexie to come with me Saturday afternoon. He spoke about Identity. I loved that each event was different. I was especially overwhelmed with excitement as so many teenagers accepted Christ. Lexie looked at me and asked "Are you crying?" YES! I was amazed that so many of the youth went up to the front of the stage. It's so awesome to me to see youth involved with Christ. I absolutely love the youth band at church. To see them so excited and involved is truly amazing!

Steele and Kim Croswhite performed on Saturday night. Steele is one of the Pastor's at The Rock. I like this picture with the back of Pastor Bill praising God with Steele and Kim in front.

I wasn't able to attend the event on Sunday at The Tabernacle. This was the only event you had to have tickets in advance for and they were gone QUICKLY! I got these pictures from my friend Jamison. I wanted to have these to remember too!

Volunteers all dressed up:)

Nick hugged everyone that was saved that night.

I know this is a weekend I will never forget. I'm so thankful that I was able to be a part of it! Praise God!
