About

Feeding the hungry and sharing Jesus' love in Uganda

How it started

One night, God gave Bill Wegener a dream: start a ministry called Jesus Fed Me. The assignment was specific. Hire a Ugandan named Mathiew, and send him out with a box of food for someone living in poverty who had never asked for help and had no reason to expect it.

There was one more instruction, and it became the heart of the ministry. When the person receiving the food asked who had sent it, Mathiew was to say only, “I am just the delivery guy. Jesus sent it.” He was not to give the founder's name or the ministry's name. This delivery belonged to Jesus.

Imagine a parent wondering what the children will eat, and then someone arriving at the door with food for the family. Before a single meal is prepared, that box can bring a little relief and a reason to smile. Scripture gives that moment its lasting weight: “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat” (Matthew 25:35).

That dream became Jesus Fed Me's calling. Bill had a part to play, Mathiew had food to carry, and generous people made those deliveries possible. Every donor who gives today becomes part of that same act. They may never stand at the doorway or meet the family they helped feed, but their kindness reaches all the way there. A box of food, a willing heart, and a few words that give God the glory: “Jesus sent it.”

The mission

Two missions, run as one

Jesus Fed Me focuses on two things: feeding the physically and spiritually hungry in Uganda, and sharing the Gospel of Christ. The people it serves are the ones with the least margin: the elderly, the disabled, single mothers, and children without food, clothing, or a roof that holds.

Each food package is a doorway. It tells a family they are seen. As the ministry puts it: the food is the hook, the Gospel is the food. God's love is more than words here; it is something that arrives at the door and can be eaten.

The work has widened over time into medical care, school sponsorship, a children's home, a nursery, a vocational campus, and regular visits to elderly people who would otherwise see nobody at all.

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.Matthew 25:35
The team4 people

Who runs it, and from where

Jesus Fed Me is a program of Kingdom Advance Global Ministries, Inc., a nonprofit corporation registered in the State of Texas. Bill Wegener founded it and runs it from the United States.

Mathiew Saba directs the field work in Uganda and writes the majority of what you read on this site. Dr William Kirembwe runs Miracle Medical Center and reports from it. Ignatious Sseremba travels with the delivery team. Between the three of them, they have written more than half of this archive.

This is a small organization, run day to day by four people across two countries.

    Mathiew runs the deliveries and writes most of what is published here. When a report says the team sat with a widow in Nakagga and prayed before handing over the food, Mathiew is the one who was sitting there.

    Bill's summary of him is short: Mathiew does a fantastic job ministering to these people, and we are willing to do what it takes to make that happen.
