JESUS FED ME – FOOD DELIVERY
One of the most powerful parts of JesusFedMe’s work is that we don’t wait for the hungry to come find us—we go to them. Many of the people we serve are deep in the villages, out in the fields working under the hot sun, or walking long distances with heavy loads. That is where we meet them. Imagine the surprise on a mother’s face when, while she is working in her field with tired children nearby, we arrive with food she did not expect. Her eyes well up with tears because she knows it is not just rice or beans,
it is the hand of GOD reaching her in her hour of need.
This is what makes JesusFedMe different from so many other
ministries. We don’t simply hold an event at a church and expect the people to come; we bring the blessing right to their doorstep, their garden, or their path home. It is unexpected, and it feels miraculous. Just as JESUS met the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4, right where she was, we too meet people in their everyday life. They may be bent over weeding, or resting under a tree, and suddenly they see food being delivered—and along with it comes prayer,
encouragement, and the message of eternal life.
Every time we do this, it reminds me of Proverbs 25:25: “As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.”
That is exactly how it feels for those who receive. Their hunger is eased, their hearts are lifted, and they know that GOD has not
forgotten them. And for us, every trip out into the fields with food bags is a reminder that this ministry is about showing up where the need is greatest and shining the light of JESUS in the most practical way possible.
JesusFedMe is committed to supplying nourishment to the most underprivileged individuals in Uganda. Our approach is simple yet profound: guided by prayer and a sense of divine direction, we provide carefully curated gift baskets filled with recently purchased food items. These baskets encompass a variety of essential sustenance, including:
- $125 worth of groceries daily (4 delivery days), including rice and sugar, staples in the Uganda diet.
- Snacks – We always give a snack to the kids when we deliver the rice. Each little bag of snacks includes a small toy, so the kids love it.
- RICE – Other times when there are larger groups of families, we will bring (2) 55lb. Bags of rice were divided between the families living in the small village. This will easily supplement eight families for about a week. They love rice, but most can not afford it, so they usually have posho. Rice is a treat for many poor families.
- Gospel Tracts – English for English-speaking people or Lugandan for Uganda Speaking people
- Poetry Book for the Kids.
- Miracle Medical Center (MMC) – Our ongoing endeavor involves the creation of a medical facility. The center is dedicated to providing comprehensive medical services while upholding a pro-life stance by encouraging young women to choose childbirth. We will never give a medical abortion. We are committed to supporting individuals with limited financial means by offering accessible medical care.
- Water Well – We have built one well so far for about 1000 locals.
Delivery is where it gets interesting: We pray, “God, where would you like me to go today,” with God’s leading, we go to a home that we feel God is leading us to. We drop off the food and Bibles. When they ask, “Who are these gifts from? We say they are from Jesus, who loves you.” We don’t take the credit; we don’t leave our names. We present the basket as delivery people only. We don’t give credit to ourselves; the gift is from Jesus and Jesus alone. When a family asks who sent the gift, we tell them there is a note in the bag that states, “Jesus Loves You.” Jesus alone gets the credit 100% of the time.
Most of the time: Often, the family needs ministering. Do you know Jesus Loves you? How can we pray for you? Would you like to receive Jesus as your savior?
Why do we take pictures? We don’t take pictures to give ourselves credit or say, look what we did. We only take them to show our donors what we are doing to help the poor. Truly, a picture is worth a thousand words.
