A common consensus is that you cannot feed people you do not know. JFM has disproved that point for the past five months providing food to people we don’t know. We often show up miraculously like strangers, but within minutes we are friends. Like Jesus fed all young and old alike, so does JFM because Jesus is our example. We try to love everyone, even when it’s not easy. We give food to adults and candy to kids, Bible tracts to everyone who can read and write. After five months of giving almost daily, we are touched to see the success of JFM and are just as blessed as those receiving gifts from JFM.
Again, we don’t take personal credit; we are just simple delivery people helping those in need in the name of Jesus Christ. The folks we help have no idea who we are, just that Jesus sent a gift because HE loves them.
CAR UPDATE: We are so blessed; thanks to a couple of amazing friends, we can now deliver food in our very own ministry car. This car simplified transportation allowing us to reach anywhere and at any time—no more BODA-BODA.
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.
