If you do not know how old JFM is, you may think it has existed for decades. Last year’s vision bearer Mr. Bill Wegener, dreamed of helping the hungry, and our budget then was around 70,000 Uganda Shillings per day. Today our daily budget is around 375,000 Uganda Shillings per day ($450 weekly). Hungry people needed food if they and their children stood a chance to survive. We look at this mission as a blessing and nothing short of that. We deliver 110 pounds of rice four times weekly as well as other items.
It is a great privilege to serve God in this manner, even though the devil often sends merchants of hate to cause us to fear. Get behind us, satan. You will lose.
We began our journey with the hope of helping one or two families daily with the gospel and food safety, always believing for God to add the increase. Today, we are known in over three districts as an organization representing Jesus’ love. Yet, as we deliver, we do not take credit or mention our name to those receiving our help. We are simply a delivery organization proclaiming Jesus’ love. Our core doctrine is NEVER to take credit or even so much as to say that it is from JesusFedMe; instead, we tell them that Jesus sent us because HE LOVES YOU.
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.
