It was emergency help to feed the elderly with food, according to what we found. In Uganda, rice is a special treat. Whoever gives rice is believed to be direct from the office of the president. One elderly man wanted to know if it was His excellency the president of the republic Uganda Yoweri Kaguta Museveni sent to deliver him food. I replied, “no, Jesus is the one who has sent me.” He doubted because, according to the setup of the village, nothing like a miracle had ever happened to him.
JesusFedme is a real blessing to those people who are advanced in years. Being helpless in their old age and living a lonely life is horrible. Imagine being weak, no one to bring water closer, none to prepare food, all on one person no matter the situation. We provide food like rice because it is easy to prepare, not burdensome like many other types of food. It suits them perfectly.
It’s extreme poverty among older people that we are happy to help. We love to give a caring, helping hand to them. There is real fire in the lives of the older people in Uganda due to excessive poor standards of living. No one would wish their parent to live such destitute, impoverished, meager miserable life. Jesusfedme carries the burden and takes care.
Once again, we planted smiles on the faces of the hopeless. Thank you to whoever is donating to make the work of this ministry run smoothly.

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.
