South African Journey

Last weekend I had the privilege to help lead a camp for Thirty-two 13 year olds from a church here in Alex. We traveled about an hour and a half away to a camp on a game reserve just over the Limpopo Province border. The camp staff helped lead a few group building activities while we were responsible for the lessons and ‘learning’ aspect of camp. I just want to bring your attention to a video we watched Saturday evening. It’s called “No Arms, No Legs”. The camp staff really pushed that we watch it with our youth because of the message behind it and the impact it can have.

The film is only 45 minutes long and was well worth viewing. The film focuses on Nick Vujicic a motivational speaker from Australia. Without going into to much detail here is a little about what it was about. When Nick was born he immediately shocked his family, doctors, friends, when he was born with out arms or legs. He goes on to talk about his struggles in school and how he made it through the tough times. He shares with the audience about how he found meaning in his life.

I would highly recommend everyone checking this film out. Regardless of your age it’s a great story and message Nick has to share with everyone.
