Welcome to the Marketplace Missions web site.
We Are Looking For Churches,
Civic Groups, and People to Partner With Us
"MPM" has been doing Christian work in El Salvador and Mexico for 2 decades. We have put together many, many mission trips. Our founders, Gary and Karen Lewis, started their life together as lay persons in the workforce, later were a pastor and pastor's wife, and then God called them to foreign missions. For 2 decades they have served as missionaries to El Salvador and Mexico. The opportunity opened 7 years ago to build a Children's Home. They named it Sonshine Hacienda. That has been accomplished debt free. Thank you for your help if you were one of the churches or individuals that gave your time, expertise, or money to complete this project.
It may seem that Sonshine Hacienda is MPM's only project. That is not true. Missionary Gary is also Pastor Gary. He is pastor of an English speaking church in San Felipe called Mission San Felipe. It has over 200 adherents from the English speaking ex-patriots in San Felipe.
Gary is also a registered Mexican clergyman and a member of the local Mexican ministerial alliance. In this capacity, Gary heads a weekly program to feed the poor of San Felipe. The English speaking church provides the food with the help of a generous Mexican grocer. The food is distributed by the local Mexican congregations of the Ministerial Alliance. They get the opportunity to minister to the poor since they know who they are and are trusted by them. It builds goodwill between the American, Canadian, and Mexican population as well.
MPM also works with the other missionaries in San Felipe. The Heinrich family are missionaries from Canada. John and Bonnie Gilbert run 99 Plus 1 Ministries, and do fabulous work. Many projects happen with the synergy produced from these and other missionaries. Youth groups, men's groups, and mixed groups that visit from the states and Canada do VBS programs, street evangelism, puppet theatres, and building projects for churches and the poor, to list a few of the more popular ministry activities.
MPM still has affiliations in El Salvador and Maucau, China, which give us conduits to do ministry in those areas as well. We stay mean and lean so that our overhead stays at 5%, most of our money going to our ministry activities and projects.
Don't hesitate to call or email us with your questions, requests for information, or requests for help in putting together a church mission trip to San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico. We also ask to consider partnering with us through monetary contributions.
By the way, don't let the headlines in the US media scare you away. We know our neighborhood, and things are peaceful in San Felipe.

Sonshine Hacienda is owned and operated by Marketplace Missions. It was built over a 6 year period debt free with your gifts, whether work teams, donated goods and equipment, or cash contributions. The picture above is of the first group of kids with the adults that received them. Another group came one week later. Although Sonshine Hacienda can hold 48 children, we cannot take more than a dozen until we raise more support to pay for the cost of caring for them. Presently, it looks like each child will incur an overhead of $300 dollars per month. That includes the cost of running the facility, paying the Mexican employees, and paying for food, education, clothes, transportation, and medical care of the children.
We will be glad to come to your church or civic group and make a presentation about our Children's Receiving Home or other ministries sponsored by Marketpplace Missions. We ask that you cover the travel expenses. Contact Bob Lewis, our VP of Financial Development at boblewis.california@gmail.com or call the US telephone number (916) 996-0964.
