Today, JFM visited a family of eight people with food relief, including rice, two sacks of posho, and macrons; other items included soap, salt, cooking oil, Bibles, and sanitary pads. Mrs. Tereza lives with seven grandchildren under one roof; we found them together, but the untold story is behind those smiles. Behind those smiles lies so much suffering, misery, and poverty. Yet, JFM is gentle, kind and never says “NO” to anyone who needs help.
Mrs. Tereza’s husband was arrested seven years ago, and since then, food and other basic needs have gone away. “I have been working in a flower factory, but chemicals used to spray flowers could make my skin grow pimples. So I decided to quit for the safety of my life; I tried other jobs, but due to Coronavirus, I was cut off, and things were not fine.”
JFM’s goal is to make sure such people get food support, hope, and feel that they are loved. It’s the love that Jesus had for us that he died for us in the same way we use love to help others. So let’s put love into practice to help others in need.
With an initial fund of $33, families can get weekly food relief, including a Bible for kids and a Bible for elders. In addition, if we find a teenage girl in the family, we provide them with sanitary pads which help them during their reproductive phase.
We thank our dear partners for changing the lives of many people. We couldn’t do this without your support; together, we plant smiles to low-income families.
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.
Changing lives of people is our goal, loving the rejected ones, comforting the lonely, feeding the hungry.
