Love is a beautiful thing that comes with many unexplainable feelings. As love birds plan to go the extra mile to rekindle their relationships, so does JFM. We planned ahead to gift poor families throughout the day and if you are spiritual, this day will be memorable. Today the entire world is celebrating valentine’s day by looking for fancy gifts to offer to their loved ones. As they are doing so, JFM is also busy showering the love of Christ on lost people.
For those who expected nothing from anyone today, JFM got them covered. Our love for the lost and the destitute is not a one-day thing, we love every day and every hour. Love is by heart not by brain.
So today; “Hey, here is Jesus, your valentine.” This is how I started speaking to the two women who looked frustrated from the garden with few local sweet potatoes in the old saucepan. “We know no one cares,” They replied. Jesus cares, I answered. Today, was such a moment as we got into a conversation about the Love of God, and by the grace of God, they surrendered their lives to Jesus. We at JFM celebrate such days as this is our true mission, leading others to Jesus Christ, not just bringing gifts of food. Salvation is eternal, food is temporal.
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.
