PLOW 127

People loving Orphans and widows - James 1:27

…How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in whom who they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?

- Romans 10:13-15

OUR STORY

The idea for PLOW127 was born when Ira and Susan Galloway went on a trip to the Ugandan bush region in 2013. They were overwhelmed by the extreme and unimaginable poverty they encountered, but were even more heartbroken to discover that there were generations of villages that had never heard of the name of Jesus. They knew they needed to act but the efforts they encountered only seemed to foster dependence on organizations which in turn continues the cycle of poverty. They were compelled to meet the need in a different way by developing a model of moving entire villages from: Dependence, Interdependence, Independence, to Abundance. To ensure the sustainability and reproducibility of the programs they seek to equip, train, and mobilize indigenous people. In 2014 PLOW127 became a 501C-3. By 2017 they were officially recognized in Uganda as a NGO (Non-Governmental Organization).

They are regularly in Uganda overseeing projects, equipping training and mobilizing indigenous people. They also take groups and individuals to Uganda to share their vision for ministry and explore ways partners with them.

PROJECTS

WORDS OF LIFE

The primary purpose of this project is the spread of the Gospel to reached and unreached people groups by: equipping indigenous pastors through a Bible literacy, provide for the physical needs of the pastors, build and repair church buildings, and provide Bibles in the native language.

WATER OF LIFE

Drilling and repairing wells for clean drinking water and agricultural purposes.

TREE OF LIFE

Planting fruit trees and agricultural crops in villages.

DORCAS PROJECT

Training indigenous women with trade skills so they can create a small self sufficient business. They in turn train other women in how to start their own business as well.

JOSEPH PROJECT

Famine is an inevitable reality in the Karamoja region with tens of thousands dying every year. We are building a storehouse of food to feed the starving.  

Our mission is simple; to fulfill James 1:27.

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

James 1:27
