Nick Vujicic to guest star on local talk show

Inspirational figure Nick Vujicic is back in town to make his guest appearance Monday on a local television talk show, “Healing Camp,” according to the broadcaster SBS.

The 30-year-old Australian evangelist who was born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of arms and legs, will be the first foreign guest to appear on the show, officials said.

Vujicic, who has become an icon of iron will against all odds, has given motivational speeches to some 4 million people that have attended his lectures in 43 countries -- as well as millions more who watched at home.

Vujicic’s most popular video on YouTube has been watched more than 38 million times. He has authored three best-selling books.
