Today, we found a family of 25 kids feeding on porridge at Bwerenga village. When JFM arrived, the eldest child was serving her sibling’s porridge, and each cup was just half since there were many, and the porridge was not enough. I experienced this because three kids who were away from home returned and missed it. I was glad JFM had arrived, which provided some doughnuts to those who missed porridge.
Almost 65% of the kids knew how to read and write, and they loved the Bible tracts. Moreover, most of them could read the tracts and could teach their fellows. JFM came with two sacks of rice equal to (5o kilograms/110 pounds) to feed them for two or three weeks, and excitement was high for the children and their mums.
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.
