Nick Vujicic – Hugging Machine!

On Saturday 8 December, an estimated 300 people attended the Nick Vujicic event our Church held at Hannah Watts Park. We were blessed with an awesome day in regards to the weather and many families took part in the Family Fun Day at 3.00pm. We gave out hundreds of sausages and kids had their faces painted and participated in all kinds of games.

At 7.15pm, Nick Vujicic took to the stage and shared about his life and his faith in Jesus. To have Nick in Melton is truly a blessing as this guy has travelled the world and spoken to over 2 million people! He gets 1,400 invites to speak a year! If he said yes to all of them, he would be doing almost 4 presentations, 7 days a week for a whole year!

And yet Nick felt called to visit Melton and spend some time with friends and  the people of Melton. And the people of Melton, and beyond, responded to him in an awesome way. One of Nick’s most likeable attributes is the fact that he LOVES hugs! I know it might seem a little ironic that a guy with no limbs loves to give and receive hugs, but if you have the pleasure of giving Nick a hug, you know that it’s not taken for granted.

After Nick’s presentation, the hugs flowed for almost 2 hours and went into the night. Most of this was captured on film and I have put together the following clip for you to enjoy. Nick says he is a “self confessed hugging machine”. The following video proves it!

Nick’s presentation at Hannah Watts Park is available for you to own on DVD for only $2.00 if you pick it up from the CityWest book store.  Postage costs will be added if you would like to receive it by mail.  Please contact us here to place your order. In the near future, we will post his entire presentation online for you to listen to for free.
