Most people would love to live with someone as living alone is often a risk of mental disorders, especially older people. Adults living alone are more likely to have common mental disorders, including anxiety and depression and the sole reason is often nothing more than loneliness. Unfortunately, the number of people living alone is steadily growing throughout Uganda. We understand many reasons, including the death of loved ones, divorce, and even poor living standards, force some to seek other places to live.
Mrs. Prosy is an older woman who lives alone in her house, and JFM came at a perfect time to deliver food to her. No one would wish such a person to lack anything; she needs some special treatment in her late years, and she deserves the welcomed attention.
Meeting her emotional needs is also essential. For example, we found her doing stone quarrying; despite being weak physically, she would force herself to carry a heavy burden.
JFM always meets such people with home necessities to feel loved, thus, preaching to them the good news of Jesus and giving them hope.
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.
This says it all: “JFM always meets such people with home necessities to feel loved, thus, preaching to them the good news of Jesus and giving them hope.” Amen.
