The first Christian at the IMS in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Brother Ronald Madhodho, an young follower of the faith of Jesus, was baptized last week, on March 24, 2024, Pastor Roland de la Paz, President of the Asian Division at the IMS, who performed the baptism, confirmed today. The local temperature in the UAE on March 24, 2024, was 27 degrees Celsius which is, of course, the perfect weather for a Christian baptism.
