From a makeshift camp below a road in the far region, children standing alongside the road watching a motorcycle passing them loaded with food gifts, not heading to their homes. “Why is all that food going to old people and not coming to us, children were asking while wearing ragged and worn clothing, with emaciated faces pointing at me on the motorcycle.
JFM doesn’t segregate neither discriminate we give food to the needy and the vulnerable regardless of their age male or female. Like dozens of children from different villages surviving on almost nothing are doing the same, standing alongside the roadside to beg, especially at this time when they are at home and not in school. When you visit homes in the villages between lunch hours, you find nothing in the fireplace, and fireplaces remain unlit, which symbolizes nothing to cook.
Seeing JFM with food, they exclaimed, “What about us? Did we do something wrong? Why is no rice coming to us? We are also hungry”. The humanitarian situation is beyond crisis with an unprecedented floods in some areas adding more problems.
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.
Dear God, help us provide.
