Jjuuko Eric is in primary seven, the last class in primary level, he is 16 years old. Eric joins Joseph to have been taken back to school by JFM. Unlike other students, Eric was equipped with medicine to cater to his wounds, which he has been nursing since childhood. Eric has a severe case of psoriasis.
Like any other child, Eric couldn’t hide his smile after hearing news of going back to school having spent two years without education. Finally, the government of Uganda reopened school on 10th January and Eric’s fear was to delay, but ultimately, a delay is not a denial and Eric is fully at school again. “Then all our sons will be educated by the LORD” Isaiah 54:13
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.
