Today Mrs. Janet was arrested by authorities on allegations of beating her thirteen-year-old son, who ate extra chapatis meant for lunch.
Chapatis
Her arrest was after seeing her child with injuries over his body. The young teen boy was in pain and had scars from what JFM learned were beatings from the mum. He was rushed to the hospital, and we were denied to access him by the authorities. On inquiries from neighbors, the youth was beaten because he ate extra chapatis meant for lunch. Each child was to eat one chapati for breakfast, but he snuck a second since because one did not satisfy his hunger, thus the beating. The authority came in to handle the matter in connection with the assault.
All this happens because some families have no food to feed their children to the point of satisfaction. Today, JFM provided them food to help curb the food shortage. Of course, we condemn such violent acts against children. Later, mum was released and advised to handle future matters with love.
This very act proves how important it is for JesusFedMe to help sustain such families during this very difficult time.

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.

I want to cry reading this. So very very sad.
