When honest with ourselves, most of us acknowledge that our lives were shaped at some point by someone who took the time and effort to pour something into our lives. But, unfortunately, the vulnerable people we are seeking to help cannot typically afford anything luxurious, even food often.
In poverty-stricken areas, parents struggle daily to take care of their children. Often the parents are sick or dying of diseases like TB, AIDS, or any other illness. This tragedy creates situations where the eldest child manages the home; it is just what it sounds like, children trying to provide for children.
And because of this parentless situation, many young girls get married and or pregnant before time. So JFM is reaching out to people who find it hard to afford two meals a day by providing them with food gifts and a word of hope. We want to make a difference in people’s lives, especially vulnerable persons, and make a considerable impact to put permanent smiles on their faces.
Many families would go to bed hungry if it weren’t JFM, and we give the glory to God, who uses people to donate to our ministry. Kids who benefit from JFM through food gifts have the most beautiful smiles, dancing we couldn’t imagine their lives without JFM.
Seeing someone loved, cared for, comforted above all, witnessing A SMILE is our goal.
William J. Wegener (Bill) is the founder and director of JesusFedMe.com, a ministry with a simple yet powerful mission: to feed the hungry, share the gospel of JESUS CHRIST, and transform lives in Uganda. Bill believes that meeting both physical and spiritual needs is the best way to reflect the love of GOD, and through JFM, countless lives have been touched.
Under his leadership, JesusFedMe.com has:
Delivered food daily to poor families and orphans. | Dug wells to provide clean water to villages. | Built homes and resource centers for struggling communities. |. Established the Miracle Medical Center (MMC) in Nakaseke District, providing medical care where none was available. |. Launched the CVTI Skilling Center, offering vocational training and hope for the future.
Bill’s heart for the poor flows from the words of JESUS in Matthew 25:35: “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in.” He often says that every bag of rice delivered, every child clothed, and every prayer offered is a reminder that GOD’s love is real and practical.
None of this would be possible without faithful donors who give generously. Bill sees himself not just as a director, but as a steward—ensuring that every dollar makes a difference in feeding the hungry and leading souls to CHRIST. His vision is to see communities in Uganda transformed, both physically and spiritually, through the power of the gospel and the kindness of those who support the work.
