hands and feet
of Jesus — meeting
people where life finds them.
SwagAbility was born out of a life interrupted by adversity. Stephen Wagstaff — known to many as "Swag" — has navigated nearly 30 years of life as a wheelchair user, facing surgeries, health crises, and moments that brought him and his wife Julie to the edge of what they thought they could endure.
One of those moments came on December 5, 2012. The night after a routine surgery, Julie received a phone call no spouse wants to receive: "Please come. Your husband has a pulse right now, but he is not doing well." During that drive, Julie held onto her faith — and when she arrived, she learned Stephen had survived. God had intervened.
It was through moments like these that Stephen and Julie discovered something powerful: when life falls apart, people need more than information. They need hope. They need someone to walk alongside them.
Everything we do flows from our faith foundation. We are born again Christians and that is the reason we started this ministry. We want people to understand that it is not us that changes anybody — it is Christ working through us.
We believe true support means caring for both physical and spiritual needs. Whether someone is navigating trauma, disability, loss, or major life transitions, our mission is to meet them where they are — offering practical support, meaningful connection, and most importantly, hope found in Christ.
Through storytelling, community, and outreach, we aim to share the love of Jesus with those who need it most — helping people rediscover purpose, rebuild strength, and move forward with faith.
