South Seles, led by Pastor Maximino Kapusso, recorded the highest number of baptisms with 307 people publicly committing their lives to Christ.

As part of the discipleship emphasis promoted by the Angola Coastal Mission, church leaders stressed that these figures represent more than 2,500 new disciples whose lives have been transformed through Christ, families touched by the gospel, and communities strengthened spiritually.

Following the campaign, membership across the Angola Coastal Mission stands at 113,166.
