NickV Ministries is committed to reaching the brokenhearted and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ around the world, bringing crucial hope to the next generation. Research suggests that hope is in short supply among young people. According to a recent study by Florida Atlantic University, many of today’s adolescents report feeling low levels of hope.
According to NickV Ministries founder Nick Vujicic, “Gen Z is facing a tsunami of depression, anxiety, fear, gender confusion, numbness, addiction and suicidal thoughts like we’ve never seen in the history of our nation. This generation needs Jesus.”
To help students encounter hope during this academic year, NickV Ministries is offering a special back-to-school download of the “Hope Starts Here Devotional — 7 Days of Hope with Nick Vujicic.” The sample is taken from Nick’s bestselling “31 Days of Hope Devotional” and designed to encourage students and renew their faith — one uplifting message and real-life story at a time.
Nick is an extraordinary testimony to the redemptive hope found in Christ. Born without arms and legs, Nick struggled with depression and loneliness throughout his childhood and adolescence, culminating in a suicide attempt at the age of 10. Today, he is a globally acclaimed motivational speaker and bestselling author, a miraculous testament to overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.
Indeed, the impact of hope cannot be overstated: Research shows that higher levels of hope are closely linked to better academic performance and improved emotional and physical well-being. In addition, hope serves as a powerful protective factor in children’s lives, helping to reduce both bullying and cyberbullying. Findings show that students with lower levels of hope are 56% more likely to cyberbully others than their peers. By contrast, students with higher levels of hope are 36% less likely to engage in cyberbullying.
In Nick’s “Hope Starts Here Devotional — 7 Days of Hope,” each day’s devotional includes a powerful, moving story of hope and offers practical encouragement and spiritual insights to help young people move forward, even on their toughest days. The seven-day devotional is offered as a PDF download, allowing students to revisit the inspiring content throughout the school year.
It’s all part of Nick’s global mission to share the message and hope of God’s love with people everywhere.
“No matter where you are in your story, God has hope and purpose waiting for you,” shared Nick. “Let’s walk this next week together — one step, one promise at a time.”
Nick Vujicic is the founder of NickV Ministries, a Christian nonprofit dedicated to spreading the message of hope and faith in Jesus Christ. In 2025, NickV Ministries proudly commemorates its 20th anniversary, celebrating two decades of miracles, inspiring stories, and global impact rooted in the love and compassion of Christ.
Despite the culture’s dramatic shift towards digital media, preaching the Gospel to large groups remains profoundly effective. Jesus ministered both one-on-one and to crowds, and at NickV Ministries, it continues to embrace this approach.
Slated for release on November 16, NickV Ministries’ 20th anniversary, Nick Vujicic’s new book, “Champions for the Brokenhearted,” explores the lives of those often forgotten by society: the trafficked, the unborn, the addicted, the poor, the abused and more. Pre-orders begin September 1 and will include an instant free download of the introduction chapter.
Since the end of 2024, the ministry has achieved extraordinary results, with over 812 million people hearing the Gospel and just over 1 million individuals coming to Christ through in-person events in 84 countries. NickV Ministries has launched a bold and multifaceted campaign to reach 1 billion people with the Gospel by 2028. The ministry’s dedication to both digital evangelism and live events enables them to reach a diverse audience, offering hope and encouragement through multiple platforms.
