JFM makes every attempt to stop famine in people. Unfortunately, all too often, hunger has claimed lives in the forgotten corners of Uganda. Covid 19 triggered the most significant hunger increase in poverty in Uganda in the last century. However, JFM has been providing food relief to starving poor families. Located in northeastern Uganda, the semi-arid is one of the poorest regions in Uganda.
While traveling to Busujju village in Uganda, you can’t fail to notice the clear blue skies. Children alongside the road clap from a distance after seeing JFM with candy, dancing, seemingly making merry. But this is not the case. Instead, they are clapping, expecting something from JFM and hoping we have come up with a rescue plan. What these kids have in common is being malnourished.
Providing Food for some of Uganda’s poorest Communities.
JFM donates 50 kilograms of rice every day to starving families, we all know there is a lot of unemployment in the country, so we help whoever is in need.
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.
