A typical Ugandan family maintains less than two acres of land, depending on the size of the family. Statistically, the average Ugandan woman has 5.8 children; however, some families have more children, as many as seventeen or more. As you can imagine, many crop yields can be consumed with such a large number of members. However, not many are fortunate enough to own pigs, goats, chickens, or cows, which would undoubtedly be an advantage to them. Hardly anyone owns a bicycle or a motorcycle making transportation difficult. Most people walk to distant areas for medication or any other form of service.
We thank our dear donors for their continued support of this ministry. We do all we can with the funds that we get to lift many out of dire situations. As we have said, our primary purpose is spreading the good news of Jesus Christ, but it’s hard to open a heart when the tummy is empty. We can’t thank you enough. Without you, we could do very little.
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.
