If you have ever been hungry, certainly you know what it means to have nothing; this family survives only on pigweed and only for supper, kids who were found hungry and confused; JFM came with fresh watermelon. So in a few minutes, they consumed it as they waited for the “real” meal.
On this matter, we have learned that many families can only afford one meal per day, and it’s not complete, too often they have food but no sauce, little flavor, no meat, and very little actual nutrition.
JFM arrived at the right time and place as the HolySpirit led with food, including matooke, sacks of posho, cowpeas, rice, macrons, etc. As we have been saying, the most likely reason JFM exists is to make sure such families have meals and give hope to these desperate people.
” I was forced to turn into a foster mother. My daughter dumped me two grandchildren “, Said Mrs. Barbra.
The situation has caused already struggling families to be further pressed. As the only breadwinner, Mrs. Barbra cannot do anything more as she has done as she has devoted her time to the grandchildren.
“Fending for the family is now a huge challenge; the children need food and clothing. So I now depend on well-wishers like you (JFM) for food and other basic needs”, she says. “We tried to raise our issue to the authorities, but the matter was swept under the rug,” says Barbra.
Many women are nursing kids of their daughters whose fathers denied responsibility living in rented houses and depending on menial jobs.
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.
