Rescuing Child Brides in Uganda: Alex Mwesigwa on Obedience, Prayer & Real Christianity | Jake Secor Podcast

Jake Secor interviews Ugandan Christian leader and psychologist Alex Mwesigwa, who shares giving his life to Jesus in 2007, studying theology and psychology, attending Liberty on scholarship, and obeying God’s call to return to Uganda. Alex leads Banji Holistic Mission, which rescues girls as young as 10–14 from illegal forced marriages, works with police, and houses and disciples about 75 children in Kampala with food, education, counseling, and long-term care. He recounts children abandoned at dumpsters, describes the prevalence of witchcraft and spiritual oppression, and explains using Scripture-centered counseling to restore identity. Alex contrasts American denominational divisions and comfort with Uganda’s urgent reliance on prayer. He also outlines initiatives including reusable sanitary pads made by former prostitutes trained in sewing, microfinance to prevent child marriage, wells, and building Victor Crown International School to help fund the ministry.
