I was honored to lead Alex, Annette, Victoria, and Jackie to the Lord. What a wonderful day to round off your week in such an excellent way. I started this week wrong after losing my grandpa, but glory to God for the mercy he gave us in such a considerable measure. I have received many miracles, but today’s gift was the greatest. Thank you, Jesus and JFM.
These people were not related but lived together and considered themselves a family in the village where I mostly carry out JFM missionary activities, where I found this family. They were so intertwined that they knew each other much more deeply than people typically do, even in most local villages.
In this family, each member matters. They belong to each other. This family has now been united with Jesus and is ready to walk the salvation journey of faith.
When honest with ourselves, most of us acknowledge that our lives were shaped at some point by someone who took time and effort to pour something into our lives which is the gospel. Parents struggle to care for their children in such poverty-stricken deep remote areas, so this family was in the same state.
Jacki’s story was touching; she lost her mum during birth and instantly became an orphan. With no family then, she was sure of death if no one stepped in for a rescue. Our efforts are not just to see the hungry being fed but also to see people impacted by our work as JFM.
The family who got saved
She is praying for Grace to sustain them in salvation.
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.
What a beautiful post today Mathiew.
