We are trying to do what Jesus would have done as we continue to reach out to vulnerable people with food gifts and Gospel tracts. Sharing God’s word to his people has been JFM’s passion for the last four months, and in the process, over 500 families have benefited from the initiative.
JFM preached to Mr. Katayira, who was selling cigarettes for a living. As part of his fight against poverty, Katayira sells cigarettes. In Nganjo Waiso district is the 75-year-old Katayira who lives a miserable life. He got the idea of selling cigarettes after realizing that he needed to do something for extra income. JFM preached to the two older men addicted to cigarette smoking and alcohol and gave them food gifts and Bible tracts. It’s never too late to preach the Word of God to such people, as there is still time to be saved.
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.
Reaching out to the real needy people, Katayira and Emmanuell enjoyed the food gift.
