Christmas Event 2022
The Christmas Event 2022 was a huge success. Thousands of stockings were given to children ages 0-9 years. They were filled with toys, socks, cookies, candy and oranges. Children age 10 and up received soccer balls, cookies and oranges. Families received much needed food bags and Bibles. Santa and Mrs. Claus were on hand to deliver stockings and for photos. Entertainment from the youth in Zaragoza and Morelos churches was fun to watch. As always at any event, the people received the Word from various speakers and prayer was offered to individuals at all locations.
Back to School Event 2022
The Back to School Event 2022 was held in August. Backpacks filled with school supplies were given away to school age children. Food bags for families were also given away. A drawing was held at each location giving away bicycles and other prizes.
Raise the Roof
We would like to invite you to help make a difference. The foundation and walls have been completed and we need donations to complete the roof. The amount needed is $18,000. Any amount will help us to reach our goal. We want to thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause. The mission of Rancho Dos Countries is to meet the spiritual and physical needs of the people of Mexico. Please help us raise the roof.
If you would like to help you can use one of the donation links on our website.
Mission Statement
By the power of the Holy Spirit, we partner with local churches in Mexico and challenge them to reach the people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. God’s love must be known to all nations and He has called us to provide “The Ranch” as a home base for evangelistic outreach, conducting crusades and meeting the spiritual and physical needs of the people of Mexico. We work with different denominations to bring the Love of Jesus Christ to the under-resourced and the far from God.
Soup Kitchens
There are two soup kitchens run by the ministry. The soup kitchen in Zaragoza feeds 150 people daily both breakfast and lunch. The soup kitchen in Morelos feeds 100 people daily both breakfast and lunch. Many other services such as counseling and help with medical needs are available at the soup kitchens. Thirty seven volunteers and employees staff the soup kitchens as well as the schools.
Daycare
Schools
There are two schools run by Ranchos Dos Countries. The school in Zaragoza has 60 children from birth to age four. The school in Morelos has 20 children from birth to age four. Children are taught age appropriate skills in a Christian environment. Concepts such as colors, numbers and shapes as well as a number of other concepts are taught in both Spanish and English. The schools are at no cost to the parents. Uniforms, two meals per day and supplies are also provided at no cost.
Churches

Ranch
The Ranch is a 27-acre working mission facility which acts as the home base for all evangelistic outreach for Rancho Dos Countries. It is owned and operated by Fernando and Debra Martinez. God revealed that it should be used to provide affordable accommodations to missionaries coming to Mexico to do His work.
Retreats
The ranch is available for men’s, women’s and youth retreats for churches in the United States and Mexico.
