In this Thursday, May 23, 2013 photo, a Vietnamese policeman guards while Nick Vujicic, a Serbian Australian evangelist who was born with no limbs, left, gives his speech to a crowd of about 25,000 students and young people at My Dinh national stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam. Vujicic, who is able to stand up and move around on his pelvis, shuffled round on a small table set up on a stage on corner of the field. In a talk laced with jokes, platitudes and attempts at Vietnamese, he spoke out against bullying and drinking; on the need for forgiveness and hope; and respect for family. All those themes resonate with Vietnamese and their leaders, one of whom - the vice president - was watching from the VIP area. (AP Photo/Na Son Nguyen)

Vujicic’s appearance is a sign of how a government that once severely restricted religion as a challenge to its authoritarian one-party rule is now taking a slightly more relaxed attitude. Those associated with Vujicic’s trip said it was the first by a foreign Christian _ and the largest gathering to be addressed by a foreigner in Vietnam’s recent history. (AP Photo/Na Son Nguyen)
