Mayra Solorzano
Osaka, Japan — Abide Calvary Chapel
After about 18 years of living a life for myself, Jesus met me in my room on May 16th, 2021. I finally repented of all my sins and accepted Jesus Christ at the age of 30. It took about eighteen years for me to finally fully surrender, but He was always patiently waiting for me. Ever since then, my life has not been the same. I started traveling to Tijuana, Mexico a couple times with a church, and knew the Lord was working in my heart to pursue missions.
I attended the Calvary School of Missions in summer 2022 and trained under Calvary South OC and Calvary Chapel Saving Grace. It was during this time that the Lord confirmed my call to move to Japan as a full-time missionary. My goal is to continue to seek the kingdom of God and make disciples of all nations!
I am currently in full-time language school to learn Japanese and have now reached a conversational level. This is to help me minister and share the Gospel more effectively in the field God has placed me in. I partner and serve under Abide Calvary Chapel in Osaka, Japan where I live. I am blessed to be involved in the women’s ministry, children’s ministry, and weekly English classes held at the church that I co-lead. I also host a monthly women’s Bible study out of my apartment that both believers and unbelievers are attending. We are continuously praying for the Holy Spirit to soften the unbelieving hearts and lead them to salvation.
I have been able to use my time in language school as opportunities to grow and learn in sharing God’s truth and love with a completely different culture. Japan is currently home to 0.57% Evangelical Christians. The prayer is for more laborers to join the harvest field!
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
Isaiah 6:8
Prayer Requests-
Please pray for there to be revival in Japan for all generations— to reach the nations with the gospel!
Please pray for my Japanese language learning!
Please pray for the monthly women’s Bible study and for the salvation of those coming who don’t know Christ.
Please pray for financial provision- either through partnerships or other opportunities.
Please pray against any spiritual warfare for current missionaries serving in the 10/40 window.
Please pray for hearts to be opened and for the Spirit of God to move radically in Japan and beyond!
Please pray for more laborers- the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few!
Thank you!
Thank you family for your constant love– all of the above is the fruit from this congregation. It is because of your faithful partnership in the gospel from the first day till now, through prayer and financial support, that any of this is possible.
My heart rejoices with this opportunity of partnering with my church family here at South OC as a missionary, I am truly humbled. Those are some BIG shoes to fill. If you have any other questions, I would love to chat. May the Lord bless you and shine His face upon you.
