Oxen and plow

With tractors and machines few and far between, a rural farmer can only till so much of a field by hand. A pair of oxen and a plow is a transformational way to share God’s abundance with those in need, with the possibility of doubling or tripling a farmer’s annual harvest. What’s more, parents have extra time and income to support their families, pay for medical expenses and send their children to school.
