About Marisol Pareja
Evangelist • Author • Founder of Testimony Publishers & MP Ministries

Marisol Pareja is a bold Christian evangelist, author, and founder of Testimony Publishers and MP Ministries, with a passion to expose spiritual deception and bring the life-transforming message of Jesus Christ to both children and adults around the world.

Born in Miami, Florida, Marisol was raised in a household deeply entangled in Catholicism, Santeria, and occult practices. Her father, a devout Catholic, married her stepmother—a woman who frequently sought counsel from mediums and the dark spiritual realm. From an early age, Marisol was surrounded by spiritual confusion and witnessed the deceptive rituals of Santeria and witchcraft. Though she did not actively participate in these practices as a child, the enemy used her spiritual ignorance to later lure her deeper into darkness through psychics and occult teachings.

By her mid-30s, Marisol found herself on the brink of full initiation into the third level of Voodoo under a Voodoo Godfather—deceptively convinced that this secret society was connected to Jesus Christ. With no true understanding of the Gospel or the Word of God, she nearly fell prey to this lie. One month before her scheduled initiation, she was required to witness a Voodoo ceremony where a young girl became fully possessed and levitated before her eyes. This shocking encounter became the turning point in Marisol’s life.

Awakened to the evil she was about to enter, Marisol renounced the occult and began searching for truth. Soon after, she experienced a powerful, life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ at a local church. She surrendered her life fully to Him and was born again. At the age of 39, Marisol was baptized in the ocean alongside 500 other believers—a moment she recalls as the most joyous and liberating day of her life. The heavy spiritual chains that once bound her were broken, and she has never looked back.

Today, Marisol Porto is a tireless voice for the Kingdom of God, using her powerful testimony to warn others about the dangers of idolatry, false religion, and spiritual compromise. Led by the Holy Spirit, she writes books and produces resources to equip believers with discernment and to reach children with the true Gospel message. Her children’s books, evangelistic materials, and theological writings boldly proclaim the truth in love—helping others break free from bondage and walk in victory through Jesus Christ.

Marisol is especially passionate about reaching children whose parents do not take them to church—those who might otherwise never hear the Gospel. Through MP Ministries and Testimony Publishers, she partners with churches, ministries, and organizations to distribute Gospel-centered literature and provide sound biblical teaching for both young and old.

Her mission is clear: to rescue the lost, expose deception, and glorify Jesus Christ in this generation.
