Soft-spoken and down to earth, wearing a long dress, Mrs. Namisinga Jane emerges from the kitchen of her home and welcomes JFM. After a long ride of about 15 kilometers in the scorching sun, the surface of JFM to this paralyzed granny felt like heaven coming to her. We found the helper of granny away for water, but again the fire in the kitchen was not lit. This tells you the food was outside their plans for the day.
Some grannies have no one who cares whether they live or die. It’s only JFM. Some relatives adamantly leave them and never bother them again about their whereabouts. JFM has uplifted the helpless, showing them love like anyone else. My passion always increases when I hear someone in need of love. I want to volunteer to improve someone’s life or any other way. I am a son of consolation.
Now I have discovered that many helpless people die not because it is their time to die but because no one cares for them. I always want to pray with elders; it is touching when you hear them pray, you listen to them, asking God to bring them people who can help them.
Granny together with her grandkids who were from collecting water.
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.
