Always aim to be a solution provider whenever possible. Much like Jesus Christ, who always sought to solve problems, we, too, should follow in His footsteps. When He encountered hungry people, He provided them with food. When He met sick individuals, He worked to heal them. Giving goes beyond physical items; it offers love, kindness, and thoughtfulness. In the world of humanity, even small gestures can have a significant impact.
JFM didn’t leave the residents of Kiti unchanged; instead, some of them were in a better condition than when he first encountered them. Those without food received sustenance and those who were hurting received not just physical care but emotional support as well. JFM befriended those lonely and assisted people in need, even reaching out to those who might have seemed distant from Him. It’s important to note that gratitude can be a source of great fulfillment. When people sought healing from Jesus, only one returned to express gratitude, and Jesus rewarded him by making him whole. This illustrates that among those we help, while many may say thank you, there can be one whose heartfelt words of thanks deeply touch our hearts.
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.
