Every day during food delivery, I don’t plan a destination. Instead, I ask the Holy Spirit who directs me. Today, I encountered mourners who had just lost a loved one. I have never experienced this before today, but I gave them one sack of rice totaling 50 pounds. I left them wondering who sent us extra food during our time of need? Who is this young man that we have never met, and who sent him? Most assuredly, they wondered what timing, certainly someone felt the need and sent the rice to help during our time of grief. While others were mourning for having lost a beloved one, Jesus visited in that way by giving them food. I didn’t take any photographs at the funeral as it wouldn’t look good in the sight of elders according to the African setting. After leaving that place, I boarded a motorcycle uber called a boda-boda, with one sack of rice to bless others.
A bit later, I met a family with five children. I greeted them with food and tracts. They loved the Bible tracts, and each child could read. In addition, we left them with 50 pounds of rice and some sweets.
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.

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.
