Embracing a Different Kind of Life
Majors Mark and Noel Nelson, based in Pasadena, CA,
are the parents of four sons, two who are autistic and
two who are neurotypical. How do they manage a bal-
anced home life for the entire family and at the same
time meet the demands of Salvation Army officership?

No Limbs? No Limits!
Twenty-eight year old Nick Vujicic used to think God
had forgotten him and that he was a burden to his par-
ents. He wanted out. Now he inspires and encourages
others to discover their value, their purpose and their
destiny. His list of accomplishments exceeds what
many of us will ever achieve.

The Man Born Blind
When Jesus restores sight to a man who was born
blind, the man confronts a crowd of angry religious
leaders who are eager to discredit his healing. What
keeps us from saying yes to the grace of God?

More Than Able
Kenwyn has spina bifida. Her story reminds us of the
way in which God takes what humanity perceives as
a weakness, and uses it to demonstrate His strength,
power and glory.

"My favorite verse is Ephesians 2:10,
which says that God has created me
to be His workmanship and that He
