Heartfelt Words of Thanks from the People JFM Feeds
Today is one of the best days JFM has experienced. When we first went, people thought that JFM may be a political thing seeking a favor from the people. Many times people would degrade me, thinking I trade their photographs for money, many would refuse to take pictures, and others, like youths, would hate me for nothing. So often I would leave in shame and humiliation, but God was on my side.
My dad (Bill) would tell me whenever I face persecution walk away and tell them “Jesus loves you”. This helped me so to stop confrontations between them and me. Patience and love win, it’s now a year people are welcoming JFM like they would Jesus, and indeed it is. Today I broke out in tears after seeing people who used to drag me out now welcoming me, saying, “Young man, whoever sends you may God bless him, how did you know that we are hungry. Thank you so much, please”. I saw a lady opposite where I was serving crying, and I told her to send a child with a basket to get food.
“The fact is we are in tough times, food is very expensive you have perfectly come at the right time of need,” said a man who doubles as the chairman of the village. Thank you so much for feeding us, Thank you for reaching out to us who have life-threatening situations in a heartwarming manner. People are now appreciating JFM’s good deeds, and we bless the name of the Lord for this. We thank our dear donors without you, we wouldn’t be able to reach these beloved souls.
You can hear the overwhelming excitement, as mothers and children receive free food from JFM. This small community was on the threshold of having no food at all.
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.
