To followers and ex-followers of Kakande, Bugingo, Mbonye, Phaneroo, etc: Why do/did you go to their churches?

These pastors are some of Uganda's most talked-about and controversial figures, often making headlines for various reasons.

To current followers:

• What motivates you to attend their churches despite the controversies and criticism in the media?
• What do you find compelling or valuable about their leadership and teachings?

To ex-followers:

• Why did you leave, and what changed your perspective?
• What made you join in the first place, and how do you see things differently now?

To anyone with a loved one who is/was a follower:

• How has their involvement influenced your relationship with them?
• Have you had any notable experiences or encounters related to their faith?

I’m genuinely curious to hear diverse perspectives. Whether it’s faith, inspiration, community, or something else entirely, please share your experiences.
