Wheels on Fire for Christ

Our name is founded upon the divine revelation of Daniel 7:9, which depicts Father God's throne as having wheels of fire, symbolizing His dynamic movement, power, and active intercession on our behalf. We are guided by the spirit of Luke 24:31-32, seeking that profound passion that ignites within us when the Lord's presence is revealed, and our hearts burn with fervent devotion to Him.

Through Wheels on Fire for Christ Ministry, Inc. (WOFFCM), we strive to bridge the gap between the Church and the disability community. Our primary objective is to disseminate the imperative of establishing a personal relationship with Lord Jesus Christ, proclaiming salvation as the sole path to reconciliation with God (John 3:16-17, Romans 10:9-10).
Empowered by the courage of Joshua 1:9 and the Holy Spirit's power (Romans 8:11, Luke 3:16), we persevere, driven by the inescapable urgency of Jeremiah 20:9, where God's word burns within us like a fire. We teach that through Christ's empowerment, we can accomplish all things (Philippians 4:13), and even a small measure of faith can move mountains (Matthew 17:20).

Statement of Faith
As a non-denominational, fundamentally sound ministry fully based upon the Word of God, our foundational beliefs rest firmly upon these uncompromised truths:
Creation & Humanity: God created the earth, as well as Adam and Eve, who mark the beginning of the human race (Genesis 1:1, 1:26-28).

The Holy Trinity: We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
The Scripture: The Bible is the absolute true word of God, entirely God-breathed and God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16).

Jesus Christ & Salvation: We believe in the Virgin Birth, life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Salvation through Jesus Christ is the sole way to Heaven (John 14:6).

Baptism: We recognize baptism as a vital outward profession of faith following salvation, though it is not a prerequisite for entering Heaven (Matthew 3:13-15).

Marriage: We believe biblical marriage is designated by God to be a sacred covenant exclusively between a man and a woman.

Universal Accessibility: Worship and all church functions must be made fully accessible across architectural, musical, recreational, and instructional environments to welcome all people in mind, body, and soul (Mark 2:1-5, Luke 5:17-20).

Disability & Divine Purpose: God is not the author of disability, nor do disabilities occur due to personal or parental sin. When a disability is present, God will dynamically use the circumstance for His ultimate glory (John 9:1-3).

The Scriptural Blueprint for Barrier-Free Access
The Word of God gives us a powerful blueprint for what true, barrier-free access should look like in the house of the Lord:

Breaking Physical Barriers (Mark 2:3-5): We see the ultimate example of doing whatever it takes to break down a physical barrier. When a paralyzed man could not reach Jesus due to the crowds, his friends literally tore apart and removed the roof to lower his mat down. Our churches must have that same relentless drive to clear the way for people to reach Christ.

An Intentional Invitation (Luke 14:21-23): Jesus commands us to actively pursue and welcome the disability community, telling His servants: "Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame... search the hedgerows and highways and insist they come in, so that the house will be full." Accessibility means making sure there is room at the table.

Revealing God's Glory (John 9:1-5): When the disciples asked who sinned to cause a man's blindness, Jesus corrected them directly: "It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins... This happened so the power of God could be seen in him." We hold the conviction that although God permits disability, He is not its author; instead, He dynamically utilizes these circumstances to reveal and glorify His works through our lives.

Breaking Down Walls (John 4:1-42 & Ephesians 2:14): Christ consistently crossed social, cultural, and religious divides to reach the marginalized, breaking down the walls of hostility to create absolute unity among us.

Our Roots: The 2002 Original Founding Mission

When Wheels on Fire for Christ was incorporated in 2002, God laid a foundational five-part purpose upon the heart of the founder Scott Broadway. This core legacy continues to drive our vision today:

1. The Main Purpose (The Great Commission): Established as a motivational speaking, youth outreach, and advocacy ministry to fulfill Matthew 28:16-20 and Mark 16:15-18. Through speaking engagements at churches, youth groups, and hospitals, we share the message of salvation, encouraging people to get "on fire" for the Lord and showing individuals that they have a great purpose in life through Jesus Christ.

2. "Ignite the Flame" Youth Outreach: Designed to reignite a passion for God in youth and churches (Psalm 39:3, Luke 3:16). It teaches young people that they are never too young to serve (1 Timothy 4:12), encouraging them to look past life's hurdles, lean on Christ’s strength (Philippians 4:13), and claim victory over enemy strongholds (Romans 16:20).

3. Wheels on Fire for Martial Arts: A specialized program offering Christian-based self-defense and martial arts training for youth, women, and individuals with disabilities. Operating under a Dojo Kun (Code of Conduct) rooted in Christian principles, it builds self-esteem and character while acting as a form of physical therapy tailored to individual medical needs.

4. Wheels on Fire for ADA (Disability Advocacy): Focused on promoting absolute equality inside the church based on Ephesians 2:14, while actively fighting for civil rights outside the church. This division works with local, state, and national agencies to enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), advocating for universal structural/intellectual design and equal rights across all backgrounds.

5. FIREhouse 51 (Women's Ministry): Led by Erin Broadway and founded on Galatians 5:1, this ministry helps broken and hurting women "stand fast" in spiritual freedom. It utilizes the P.R.E.A.C.H. method (Pray, Read, Endure, Armor up, Chat, and Heal) to rebuild the emotional, mental, and spiritual health of women so they can enjoy victory in Jesus.

Summary of the Expanding WOFFCM Vision

The long-term vision of WOFFCM encompasses an expansive array of specialized ministries designed to meet physical, emotional, and spiritual needs according to God's purpose:
Peer-to-Peer Mentoring & Hotline: A Christ-centered, one-on-one mentoring program pairing youth with youth, and individuals with disabilities with disabled peers. For anonymous, around-the-clock support, a 24/7/365 toll-free hotline will provide immediate Christian counseling.

Food Bank & Cafeteria Ministry: Providing hot meals and non-perishable food items to individuals and families in need. Canned food baskets will include a free Bible and local church resources, feeding people both physically and spiritually in a loving environment.

"Ignite the Flame" Traveling Crusades: An upbeat, three-day state-to-state convention featuring praise, worship, workshops, and testimonies from a core team of spiritually strong youth and disabled leaders. Interactive workshops will focus on leadership, overcoming peer pressure, and accepting disabilities through Christ.

Street Ministry: A bold, uncompromising outreach team dedicated to entering inner cities, building relationships, listening to residents, and sharing the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ directly on the streets.

Global Medical Ministry & Equipment Refurbishing: Sending rotating teams of volunteer Christian doctors, nurses, and therapists on two-week rotations to third-world countries. This branch will also collect, refurbish, and distribute medical equipment (like wheelchairs and walkers) completely free of charge.

Fully Accessible Summer Camp: A specialized camp for youth with disabilities and youth escaping abuse. It features air-conditioned cabins, an Olympic-sized pool, accessible pontoon boating, adapted fishing equipment, sit-skiing with trailing safety jet-skis, adapted horseback riding, and an indoor wheelchair basketball court.

True Accessibility

After living for 43 years and being married for 20 with 3 incredible daughters, I have faced two decades of the exact same frustrating barriers.

As a father with spastic cerebral palsy who uses a Permobil power wheelchair for mobility, I’ve been blessed with an amazing family. My wife and daughters have been my rock, helping me navigate a world that wasn't built for me. But there are daily challenges that remain incredibly frustrating and entirely preventable: **the lack of accessible family restrooms, proper infrastructure, and inclusive travel accommodations.

My experience is standard single-sex restrooms rarely have the space or privacy required for my wife to assist me, we are constantly put in impossible situations. On far too many occasions while out with my family or on a trip, I have had to hold it for hours or resort to using the restroom in our car.

The barriers start long before we even reach a restroom. We consistently face a lack of proper building ramps and a severe shortage of van-accessible parking spaces. Even worse, when those spaces are available, people frequently park directly in the striped ramp access aisles, completely trapping me inside or outside my van.
Once we actually reach an entrance, there is another major hurdle: automatic door opener buttons. Having these buttons is essential for independence, but simply installing them isn't enough. On so many occasions, we roll up to a building only to find the button is broken, disconnected, or completely non-functional. An accessible door button does no good if it doesn't actually work.

The exclusion gets even worse when we travel or go out for entertainment.

When our family wants to enjoy public events, concerts, theater facilities, and sports venues, finding adequate accessible seating is an uphill battle. Often, these venues have highly limited options, terrible sightlines, or they separate me from the rest of my family.

When we try to travel further, airline travel presents a whole new nightmare. Airlines need to drastically improve their accessibility and start treating wheelchairs and medical equipment with the utmost care. To an airline baggage handler, a power wheelchair might look like just another heavy piece of luggage, but it is not. My wheelchair is my legs. It is my mobility, my independence, and an extension of my body. When airlines mishandle or break a power chair, they don't just damage property—they completely strip away a person's freedom and mobility.
To top it all off, we face constant stress regarding travel accommodations. The issue isn't even about being upcharged—it is the severe lack of availability of accessible hotel rooms. Trying to book a room with a roll-in shower or the necessary space is incredibly difficult because hotels have so few of them. Often, you try to book a trip only to find there isn't a single accessible room available, forcing you to completely change your family's travel plans.

Beyond the physical barriers, the financial reality of living with a disability is overwhelming because accessible equipment costs drastically more than standard equipment. For instance, buying a regular vehicle is one thing, but buying a wheelchair-accessible vehicle with a ramp conversion costs tens of thousands of dollars more. Even the chair itself—a Permobil power wheelchair equipped with the specialized accessories and seating modifications I need to function—comes with an astronomical price tag compared to standard mobility aids.
Worse yet, systemic barriers actively discourage financial independence. People with disabilities often want to work, be productive members of society, and provide for their families. However, the vital personal care and accessibility services that grant us independence are severely limited by outdated income caps. These state and federal programs—which allow me independence and help provide my daily care—often come with restrictions and very low limits on how much money a person can earn. If you make even a dollar over the threshold to better support your family, you risk losing the very care and medical assistance you need to get out of bed and be the productive member of society you want and need to be for your spouse and family. It is a broken system that forces an impossible choice between employment and essential healthcare.

When accessibility and adaptive training are done right, the results speak for themselves. Through years of dedication and tailored training at Stroud’s School of Martial Arts, I adapted my techniques to earn multiple black belts across Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, and Judo, while rounding out my skills in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Today, by the grace of God, I am completely off spasticity pumps and medications, my range of motion has drastically improved, and I am in the best shape of my life. With the right foundation and support, individuals with disabilities can achieve incredible physical milestones.

True inclusion must also live within our places of worship. Through Wheels on Fire for Christ, our ministry strives to bridge the gap between the Church and the disability community.
Our name is founded upon the divine revelation of Daniel 7:9, which depicts Father God's throne as having wheels of fire, symbolizing His dynamic movement, power, and active intercession on our behalf. We are guided by the spirit of Luke 24:31-32, seeking that profound passion that ignites within us when the Lord's presence is revealed, and our hearts burn with fervent devotion to Him.
The Word of God gives us a powerful blueprint for what true, barrier-free access should look like in the house of the Lord:

Mark 2:3-5, We see the ultimate example of doing whatever it takes to break down a physical barrier. When a paralyzed man could not reach Jesus due to the crowds, his friends literally tore apart and removed the roof to lower his mat down. Our churches must have that same relentless drive to clear the way for people to reach Christ.

Luke 14:21-23, Jesus commands us to actively pursue and welcome the disability community, telling his servants: Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame... search the hedgerows and highways and insist they come in, so that the house will be full. Accessibility means making sure there is room at the table.

John 9:1-3, When the disciples asked who sinned to cause a man's blindness, Jesus corrected them directly: It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins... This happened so the power of God could be seen in him."God is not the author of disability, but He dynamically uses our circumstances to reveal His glory.

John 4:1-42 & Ephesians 2:14,
Christ consistently crossed social, cultural, and religious divides to reach the marginalized, breaking down the walls of hostility to create absolute unity among us.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10, We find strength in His divine promise: My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness. By sharing a gospel of hope, faith empowerment, and salvation through Christ, we mentor others to move past a "can't" mentality, equipping individuals of all abilities to serve, grow spiritually, and live out God's dynamic love.

True accessibility must also extend into medical care, where treatment plans should protect, not diminish, a person’s quality of life. From 2008 to 2015, I lived through a seven-year nightmare with an implanted baclofen pump that stripped away the functional muscle tone I relied on for daily independence. Instead of providing relief, it caused a cascade of emergency surgeries, constant adjustments, and a terrifying malfunction that mimicked a stroke. Today, I am profoundly grateful to Lord Jesus Christ for delivering me from that dark season; I am entirely free from spasticity medications, my range of motion is vastly improved, and I am back in full control of my own body. Medical systems must learn to carefully listen to patients and evaluate the true physical and emotional costs of these aggressive interventions.

True medical accessibility also means having a medical care team that is open-minded and willing to accept alternative medical options when pharmaceuticals fail or carry too many side effects. After enduring years of intense spasticity and a traumatic baclofen pump failure, my family discovered the life-changing power of Petitgrain essential oil. By integrating this natural approach, I have been able to completely eliminate all spasticity medications and over-the-counter pain relievers. This single transition drastically reduced my muscle spasms, improved my speech and range of motion, eased caregiving transitions for my wife, Erin, and restored the freedom and active lifestyle I thought I had lost. True patient-centered care requires doctors to collaborate with families and respect natural, effective alternatives that actually work for our bodies.

True accessibility must also be a priority in education, from grade school through college. My own educational journey was a constant, exhausting battle against systemic failures. I was held back a year to begin with, and in the 5th grade, my family had to remove me from public school to homeschool me because a teacher's assistant refused to let me use the computer designated specifically for my schoolwork, using it instead for her own personal, after-hours tasks. After testing below grade level due to these failures, homeschooling allowed me to thrive so much that I graduated testing at a college sophomore level. Yet, the fights didn't stop in higher education. Between 2002 and 2013, I faced constant battles for basic accommodations across multiple colleges, alongside enduring numerous medical procedures. While I had an incredible disability advisor at my local community college who helped me succeed, earn 30 credits, and achieve induction into the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, the broader system still failed me. Between systemic delays that left me receiving required textbooks six weeks into an eight-week course, and later discovering 30 of my hard-earned credits were from an unaccredited bible college I was never informed about, I was ultimately prevented from finishing my degree. I completed 90 total credit hours across three institutions, but the constant stress, combined with the subsequent trauma of the baclofen pump, meant I never went back—a gap in my achievements that I regret to this day. Educational institutions must provide timely, functional accommodations so disabled students can actually cross the finish line.

Nobody should have to choose between their dignity and community participation. Let's make one thing entirely clear: accessibility is not a luxury, and it is not a privilege.The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990. We are now in June 6, 2026—it has been nearly thirty-six years. It is well past time to get it right.

I am not looking for special treatment; I
am simply asking for a level playing field so I can experience the world alongside my family.

We need independent, spacious, unisex family restrooms where a spouse or caregiver can safely assist their loved one.

We need airlines to treat wheelchairs as vital medical devices, not luggage, and ensure they are handled safely and properly.

We need business owners and venues to install proper, safe ramps, and if the door button is installed make sure it works properly.

We need concert halls, theaters, and sports stadiums to provide accessible seating so families can experience events together.

We need hotels to increase the availability of accessible rooms so families who need them aren't left stranded.

We need drivers to understand that the striped lines next to an accessible spot are not extra parking—they are essential lifelines for wheelchair ramps.

We need policy changes to fix outdated income caps on waiver and assistance programs so disabled individuals can work without losing their lifelines.

We need schools and universities to deliver accessible materials on time and protect the civil rights of disabled students so they can succeed equally.

To the business owners and public facility managers out there: cost doesn't have to be a barrier to doing the right thing. There are often grants, tax credits, and funding opportunities available to help cover the costs of making these accessibility improvements. Sometimes, you just have to ask or look for them. The resources are out there to help you make your spaces welcoming to everyone.

Let’s build a world where families don't have to plan their lives around whether a building, venue, airplane, hotel, place of worship, medical facility, or school is actually accessible.

This post was written by my wife, Erin, a few years ago, and I felt the need to reshare it because it may help someone else out there.

How Petitgrain (and Young Living) Changed Our Lives…

We were already familiar with how essential oils could help with life's everyday nuances—soothing a burn, calming an itch, or comforting a teething baby. But when a friend shared some research about Petitgrain in a social media group, we had no idea just how much Young Living and the power of oils were about to completely transform our lives!
Scott was born with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and has used a power wheelchair since he was three years old. If you’ve ever built a rubber-band guitar as a child, you have a perfect analogy for how his spasticity works. When you pluck the rubber band, it vibrates and builds tension. Imagine that happening in muscles all across your body, all day long, every single day. Scott’s spasticity is affected by many factors—including stress, illness, and especially the weather—and it can be incredibly intense and painful.

As a child, Scott’s spasticity was treated with numerous oral medications, Botox injections, physical and occupational therapies, and multiple surgeries—including a major spinal surgery. As an adult, oral medications continued to be his primary treatment, but many of them left him feeling "out of it" or not quite himself.

In 2007, his medical team suggested a baclofen pump. At the time, it sounded like a wonderful option. However, within six weeks of having the pump implanted in December 2008, a true nightmare began. He underwent three emergency surgeries in less than two weeks. In August 2009, doctors attached a new catheter to the pump, and for a while, things improved. Over time, though, the medication became less effective, requiring constantly increased doses to achieve the same relief.

Following standard medical protocol, the pump was replaced after five years in 2013. Unfortunately, more complications followed. In June 2015, just a few days after our second daughter was born, Scott began experiencing stroke-like symptoms. It turned out the pump was malfunctioning, causing simultaneous symptoms of both overdosing and underdosing. After a week-long hospital stay, his doctors began titrating the medication down, and the pump was finally completely emptied in November 2015.

Following the baclofen pump ordeal, Scott’s doctors found an oral medication that worked well for him to take as needed. For the most part, we thought it had very few side effects. That is, until we discovered Petitgrain.
For almost a month now, Scott has not taken **any** spasticity medication or over-the-counter pain relievers. He has been using **only** Petitgrain to manage his spasticity. It has been absolutely life-changing!

In just this short time, Petitgrain has:
* **Decreased** muscle fatigue and spasms.
* **Eliminated** all pain caused by spasms.
* **Made his speech** even more crisp and clear.
* **Increased** range of motion in both his arms and legs.
* **Decreased** urinary urgency and frequency.
* **Nearly eliminated** episodes of choking caused by GI issues that were exacerbated by spasticity.
* **Improved** skin quality and reduced skin breakdown.
* **Boosted** his mood, mental clarity, and overall health.

As his wife and full-time caregiver, witnessing the power of this oil has been incredible—especially after watching him endure the harsh side effects of pharmaceuticals for so many years. This oil is even improving our marriage! When you live together 24/7 in a cozy home, maintaining a good mood is key.
The benefits of Petitgrain have also extended to my own health, making caregiving much less stressful. I deal with carpal tunnel syndrome and Celiac disease, among other challenges.

For me, Petitgrain has:
* **Diminished** carpal tunnel flare-ups (I’ve been facing the need for surgery for years because it gets so severe).
* **Eased** early signs of neuropathy and leg pain.
* **Decreased** overall inflammation.
* **Managed Scott's spasticity so well that:**
* He can comfortably enjoy his coffee while I run errands, thanks to his decreased urinary urgency.
* Transferring him to and from his wheelchair is much easier.
* Getting him dressed and assisting with his bathroom needs is smoother.
* He drops items much less frequently.
* All of this means fewer interruptions while I am tending to our children, homeschooling, or managing household tasks.

Scott is no stranger to adventure, but the baclofen pump and years of heavy medication stripped away some of his freedom. As a child, he did therapeutic horseback riding. As a teenager and young adult, he was deeply active in martial arts—he is even a 2nd-degree black belt in Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, and Judo! He has gone water skiing on the lake and has even been rock climbing. As an ordained minister, he doesn't back down from a challenge, knowing that through Christ, he truly can do all things.

Now, as a husband of 15 years and a father to three active girls, we cannot wait to see the new adventures ahead of us, all made possible by this amazing oil.

Note: These last couple of photos are from the years I was on oral baclofen and had the baclofen pump. I am incredibly thankful that the Lord Jesus Christ has brought me out of that situation, and I am so grateful for my health and how wonderful I feel today.
