Nearly 4,000 Israeli soldiers have been wounded since Oct. 7, many with life-changing injuries. Recently, a special guest encouraged them not to let those changes ruin their lives.
Nick Vujicic, an international Christian speaker who was born with no arms or legs, visited Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv. It’s where many of the soldiers wounded in the war come for treatment of their bodies and souls.

“What I realize now is that when we look different, we are the ones that everyone looks at. So, the fact that we still exist, the fact that we sometimes smile, the fact that we keep on going out there, there are many people that say, ‘Wow, if he didn’t give up, then I’m not going to give up,'” he told a group of wounded veterans.
Vujicic, who is an inspiration to every audience he addresses, told CBN News he felt humbled and inspired after speaking to the soldiers. He called his experience with them “amazing,” and said, “I think for such a time as this, it’s very important for us to show up and show the support and love and plant seeds of life and faith into everyone here.”
“Today was amazing to be with the wounded soldiers here. Um, you know, my mom was a nurse and so I have compassion for the doctors and nurses here as well, ministering to the needs of those here and families affected,” he said. “I think for such a time as this, it’s very important; important for us to show up and show the support and love and plant seeds of light and faith into everyone here.”
