Evangelist and New York Times bestselling author, Nick Vujicic has co-founded a pro-life bank to combat abortion crisis in the United States.
A few years ago, it came to the attention of Nick Vujicic that most major banks in the United States support Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the nation.
“Most banks — 90%, in fact — give philanthropically toward abortion,” the 38-year-old Life Without Limbs founder said in a recent interview, adding that an unthinkable amount of “God’s money” has been used to fund the murder of pre-born children.
It was this sobering reality that prompted Nick Vujicic to partner with Betsy Gray, his “spiritual mother” and the executive director of Network Medical Women’s Center, a primary care medical clinic in Santa Barbara, California, to found ProLife Bank.
ProLife Bank, Vujicic said, is not a for-profit bank — it’s a for-giving bank. The bank will give “50% net profits to Judeo-Christian-aligned-nonprofit organizations to further the Kingdom of God,” he explained.
“Just like Noah’s saved lives, so we’re going to save lives with ProLife Bank,” he shared. “It’s based on the understanding that God wants to take back His role and redistribute it through His faithful students.”
Though the founder and CEO of a nonprofit ministry and a New York Times bestselling author, Nick Vujicic said he considers himself a “numbers guy.”
The Dallas-based entrepreneur started trading options and stocks as a teenager and purchased his first home as an investment at 19 years old. He obtained a Bachelor of Commerce with a double major in financial planning and investments and accounting and graduated at age 21.
So when presented with the idea of a pro-life bank, he was intrigued — but asked Gray to give him three months to pray with his wife over the decision. During those three months, the father-of-four shared, he faced spiritual assault like never before.
“My world turned upside down,” he recalled. “We had a grenade at our house; I had a false article published in a gay magazine that I fired someone from being gay. I had a lawsuit threat against me by somebody internationally. I had a spy drone above my house, and I got kicked out of a bank, all within a matter of 16 weeks after that prayer.”
“It was evident to me that this is an issue close to the Lord’s heart,” Vujicic added. “The last 20 years of my life was sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to millions around the world. The next 20 years will be, preach where I can, but also bring change, tangibly.”
Vujicic is also urging Christians to actively participate in city councils, school boards and other local political committees to use their voice in “taking America back for God.”
