Opio, a man with a pot belly and no shoes, resides in a doorless, poorly furnished house that often evokes tears from visitors. Yet, despite his circumstances, Opio has embraced his responsibilities as an adult. His home may lack basic amenities, but it serves as a place of rest where he strives to make ends meet.
When Opio spotted JFM approaching, he hurriedly grabbed a basket and rushed to collect some food relief. With compassionate eyes, he patiently shared with JFM how he had managed to alleviate his hunger that day. On fortunate occasions, when there are leftovers from communal meals, such as those served during funerals, Opio can find something to eat. However, such events are infrequent. In the villages, there are numerous impoverished children whose parentage is unknown.
It is not uncommon to encounter women struggling to care for their children, unable to provide information about their husbands. One might infer that these women became pregnant after an unknown individual had sexual relations with them, leaving them to bear the burden of suffering children.
We express our gratitude to JFM for consistently stepping in whenever there is a need like this. Through their actions, they provide hope to the hopeless and extend love to those who feel lonely.

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.
