Families have put food production at risk meaning the hunger crisis is looming in impoverished family’s homes. As a result, life has become more difficult for these families, which is why men, women, and children risk their lives to work in open-air quarry sites.
Unfortunately, many days start with nothing to eat. Often, it’s on such days that JFM arrives and surprises families with some much-needed food and words of hope. Although ultimately, it’s the good news of the gospel that makes the difference, it’s hard to hear the word on an empty stomach. This is why the gospel tracts are so important. As we all know, hunger is temporary but the soul is forever. Therefore, we must get the word out, and many of these folks are unreached.
We understand the need for the word of God as it’s the gospel that truly changes lives, not food. Food is simply a way to touch lives. When the tummy is full, ears open. After all, isn’t that how Jesus did it? It’s Jesus that feeds the people, both literally and spiritually.
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.
