JFM Visits Kayindu Village with Christmas Gift for the First Time
We have been involved in so many victories, winning the souls, feeding the hungry, encouraging the weak, etc…, but today was a very special day because everyone we met we left exceptionally happy, full of joy, energetic, and empowered. Most are hoping for some Christmas miracle, and today some were delivered. The journey was successful; giving food to wonderful people of God and praying for them was fun.
Mrs. Nayiga
Meanwhile, at the end of our journey, we meet Mrs. Nayiga and Mr. Balam whose lives seem to be buried. Mrs. Nayiga was in her house lying down, sick, throwing up, and I knew this was why JFM took this route. A neighbor whispered to me how Mrs. Nayiga was HIV/AIDS positive, and a few meters was Mr. Balam, who had the same case. Balam was somehow strong, but Nayiga, perhaps ARVs, were not available for months in her single tiny sorry stated room.
Even raising a tongue to speak was hard for Nayiga. JFM has exposed me to a lot, and today I realized why we exist. I condemned the stigma exercised by neighbors and encouraged them to show love and mercy to such people since they reap what they sow. Nayiga was relieved, and by the time JFM left, she could breathe a collective sigh of relief. We hope to revisit her with more food right now; she needs love from people.
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.
