HANDICAPPED BEST-SELLING AUTHOR VISITS PACQUIAO
By Aquiles Z. Zonio PhilBoxing.com Wed, 08 Apr 2015

LOS ANGELES ? A man who became famous for rising above inborn disabilities is a big fan of eight-division boxing champion and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao.
Nicholas James ?Nick? Vujicic, an Australian Christian evangelist and motivational speaker born without arms and legs, visited Pacquiao in his Los Angeles residence on Monday evening.
Vijicic said he came to visit Pacquiao not to take side but to wish the Pinoy boxing legend good luck.
Pacquiao is set to face undefeated American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. atop the ring on May 2 in Las Vegas.
?I?m here not to take side but to wish him luck and pray for his safety,? Vujicic said.
Vujicic admitted he admires Pacquiao particularly the latter?s humility, generosity and kindness.
He was accompanied by his wife Kanae Miyahara.
During his visit, Vujicic prayed over Pacquiao and gave him four copies of his book titled ?Love Without Limits.?
Vujicic even personally wrote the dedication on the book.
Vujicic has authored several books, one among them was the 2012 international best seller ?Unstoppable: The Incredible Power of Faith in Action.?
He has been travelling around the world giving powerful testimony how he had found undying hope, self-fulfillment and joy by accepting Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour.
The Pinoy boxing superstar and his wife Sarangani Vice Gov. Jinkee invited Vujicic to come and visit the country and share how he found his true love and the real meaning of life despite suffering from congenital handicap.
The Fighter of the Decade claimed that Vujicic?s visit has inspired and motivated him even more to win in his upcoming fight.
