STRONGLIVING LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS
STANDNICK VUJICIC and LIFE WITHOUT LIMBS
present
Stand Strong. Think of all the
people who need to hear this
message. The student who gets
taunted and pushed around
because he's di�erent. The
teenager who writes a note about
why she wants to end her life. The
wounded veteran who struggles
to pay rent as he searches for
work. The single mom who feels
like she has nothing left to give.
Stand Strong is a strategic e�ort to reach entire communities with the hope and love of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to target several di�erent cities or regions throughout the United States and spend three full days in each area visiting schools, engaging in community service, and sharing the Gospel.
Are you passionate about your city? Do you want to help kids who are being bullied? Do you
A NOTE FROMNICK
long to see the love and hope of Jesus Christ transform your community, leaving it forever changed?
This is our purpose and our prayer for Stand Strong. Check out our schedule to see if we're coming to your area, and then let us know how you'd like to get involved. If your city isn't on the schedule yet, maybe YOU are the person to gather leaders in your community and make a Stand Strong campaign happen!
We invite you to Stand Strong with us as we watch God move in our students, our neighbors, and our communities for Jesus Christ!
In Him, Through Him, For Him,

WHAT HAPPENS AT A STAND STRONG EVENT
Day 1: Stand Strong in School
On the �rst day of Stand Strong, Nick visits local middle and high schools to address the rising trends of teen depression and suicide and to challenge students to take a stand against bullying. His inspirational message is streamed live to participating schools in the local community and statewide, empowering students to seek help through their school's support channels and through our strategic partners. Nick customizes each talk and is conscious to respect church and state issues when speaking in public school settings.
After Nick spoke to over 325,000 students at 278 middle and high schools in Indiana, Governor Mike Pence said, �The time has come for kids of all ages to feel safe and secure while earning an education and beyond in our nation. On behalf of my family and Hoosier families everywhere, I o�er my profound gratitude for the tremendous work you are doing for America�s next generation.�
We want to stop stories like this from happening�
Alejandra is 10 years old. Her classmates hit her in the nose and she bled a lot. She was caught by the hair and dragged to the football �eld. They beat her up with a ball. They called her ugly and fat. She stepped into a deep depression. She attempted to harm herself. She was a very sweet girl.
�Hilariously funny, emotionally moving, and awe-inspiring to push each person to their personal best. Allison Taverner,

Day 2: Stand Strong in LifeOn the second day of Stand Strong, Nick partners with local churches, non-pro�ts, civic groups and government agencies to show God's love through community service with the goal to leave a community better than how they found it. Often the focus is on at-risk youth or veterans.

��Day 3: Stand Strong with God
Stand Strong concludes on the third day at a stadium event with an evangelistic message from Nick and a celebration concert featuring contemporary, inspirational music.
It was wonderful to hear Nick share his encouraging and compelling story. And then, to watch with amazement as so many young people responded by trusting Jesus Christ with their lives and futures.

HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?
Donors/Corporate Sponsorships
SchoolsCommunity
Hosting an event of this scale has signi�cant costs involved. We need people who can get behind fundraising e�orts and others who will
give generously to make Stand Strong a reality in your community.
Reaching a community involves those currently in leadership, from governing o�cials to local charities and non-pro�t organizations. We need people who can facilitate meetings with local leaders and
organize meaningful opportunities to serve and impact your community.
When Nick comes to a city he'll make an appearance at select schools, while other schools have the option to stream the event live at their
assemblies. We need schools and administrators to get on board to bring Nick's inspirational
message to students in your community.

Local Leadership Churches/Faith-Based Organizations
Prayer, encouragement, and support are the heartbeat of a Stand Strong
event. We need faith-based groups who will work together to love their
communities by volunteering, spreading the word about Stand Strong,
and providing follow-up at evangelistic events.
This essential team typically includes 10-12 leaders representing the various
aspects of a Stand Strong event (school, community, stadium). These
volunteer leaders have passion for their communities and work in harmony
with the national Stand Strong team to execute the 3-day campaign.
