“A Bank Kicked Me Out... Froze My Debit Cards”: Why Nick
Vujicic Is Launching a Bank for Pro-Lifers
Evangelist and motivational speaker, Nick Vujicic, announced
that he plans to start a bank that supports pro-life efforts after learning
that many financial institutions donate to organizations that endorse
abortions.
During an interview Thursday with The Epoch Times, Vujicic said he began to
speak out against the innocent killing of unborn babies in March 2019. Within
16 weeks of doing that, he revealed, "we had a grenade at our house, a
false magazine article published against me, a lawsuit threat, a spying drone,
and a bank kicked me out."
Around that same time, Vujicic spoke with his good friend Betsy
Gray about launching Pro-Life Bank. The 38-year-old, who has an
extensive financial background, told Vujicic that he needed to pray more about
the idea.
Vujicic explained that during that period, he experienced more
adversity, but this time from his own bank.
"I got kicked out of a bank with no warning. They froze my
credit cards, froze my debit cards," he said. "They gave me a letter
to say that they did a review of me as a client and they don't want anything to
do with me."
The pro-life advocate chose to take on the project with Gray and
is excited to educate others by exposing banking networks that partner with
abortion providers.
"We want to tell everyone, yeah, there's a choice coming
for you," Vujicic said. "And not only will
this be a for-profit bank, we are actually known as a for-giving bank. We will
not fund abortion, but we'll actually fund 50 percent net profits to
Judeo-Christian-aligned nonprofit organizations that are biblically aligned in
doing the will of God according to our belief systems."
Vujicic said with this initiative, he is hoping to share a
positive message about protecting the sanctity of life at all stages.
"We love everyone. But we believe as well though that there
should be equal protection and equal justice for the unborn who exist from the
moment of conception," he pointed out.
Vujicic has tetra-amelia syndrome, a disorder that caused him to
be born without limbs. But despite some major challenges, he created his own
ministry, Life Without Limbs. As an evangelist, he has
reached millions of people across dozens of countries — a feat he credits to
God.
