The baptisms were performed in a swimming pool by three Pastors. The local temperature in Angola, Central Africa, on Sabbath, August 10, 2024, was 22 degrees Celsius which could be considered as the perfect weather for a Christian baptism.

Angola, a republic on the west-central coast of Southern Africa, is the second largest Portuguese-speaking country in both total area and population and the seventh largest country in Africa. Angola achieved independence in 1975 as an one party-republic.

The Portuguese explorer Diogo Cão reached the today territory of the country in 1484, while Paulo Dias de Novais, the first Captain-Governor of the Portuguese Angola, founded São Paulo de Loanda (Luanda) in 1575.
