The Work Continues as Multiple Families Jubilate over Food Gifts
Despite the harsh economic condition in Uganda, JFM never stopped blessing the hungry. But unfortunately, the food shortage is making life unbearable for many families. So JFM’s goal has always been a shoulder to cry on for those in need.
A few weeks ago, a group of women in Uganda was sighted holding placards showing inscriptions indicating an increase in the price of commodities. They were not satisfied with the high food costs, yet they earned less than in the past. During the president’s address on the matter of high prices, he arrogantly said, “if you cannot afford bread, eat cassava.” This statement led many Ugandans to change the Lord’s prayer from “give us our daily bread to our daily local cassava.” This shows how hard it is in Uganda to get food, especially for less privileged families.
Thanks be to God who purposed to establish JFM to feed those without food.
Thank you so much, donors; you are making a difference, and Jesus takes the glory.
The joy when you realize no more going to bed without food
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.
