A lot of aged people in Africa are in doubt about spending eternity with our maker in heaven, and this is because most of them are powerfully touched by traditional African settings. In the many remote areas JFM has visited, most homes you find circular grass-hatched muddy houses behind primary residences, which are shrines.
Today we received news of Granny, with whom we shared the gospel for three months before she went to be with the Lord. To Jesus and JFM, it was joy and celebrations because this granny accepted Christ with all her heart.
Many older adults in Africa and Uganda, in particular, never got a chance at the gospel, so JFM is currently reaching out to them and introducing Christ. We give attention to all people but older adults because they have less time left. We believe God to touch their souls in their late age.
Without JFM, this granny, with due respect, wouldn’t see heaven Glory to God, we won her for Jesus, and she is to spend eternity with Jesus. We give Glory to Jesus that she accepted Jesus during her last days on earth. This is amazing. I am happy that we met her on the 23rd of February, 2023.
John 1:12 says, ” Some, however, did receive him and believed in him, so he gave them the right to become God’s children.”
Rest in peace is only written to those who accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and savior.
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.
