The food crisis is looming in many parts and communities due to poverty and the recent global pandemic. The devastation has left low-income families starving and others apprehensive about imminent famine.
And as hunger bites harder, many elders worry as less attention is given to them. Moreover, during harvest season, some families store less of which they sell the surplus, hence facing the prospect of relying on relief food from JFM.
As of now, villages are experiencing rain failure, and everything is hit by the scorching sun, including human beings. Elders say the situation has hit them so hard, and they should be provided food urgently. They lamented that some of their children no longer attend school due to hunger. We appreciate men who care for their families in an era when men neglect their families. Men who switch their responsibilities have contributed significantly to many families’ suffering because they are accountable. JFM is caring for people, not harming them. In other words, JFM is raising kids they didn’t make and mending broken hearts they didn’t break.
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.
