Son of veteran PAOC missionaries Arn and Elsie Bowler, I (Phil) grew up in Kenya and Uganda, answering the call to full-time service as a young man. After marrying, we welcomed our sons Mathias and David into our family. We then were appointed as PAOC global workers in 2002. After 15 years of fruitful ministry in Dakar, Senegal, in 2018, we relocated to Conakry, Guinea.
