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.
Making disciples - this is what Phil and Judy are about. PAOC's "Alleluia" churches are young, vibrant and eager for support and training to reach this Muslim dominated country.
"Dr. Phil" is the PAOC theological educational consultant for West Africa, and in this role, he teaches courses and trains leaders in the region of West Africa. Additionally, he is the head of the PAOC mission in Guinea and works closely with the “Alleluia” churches on needed projects such as church construction, wells, and the Sonfonia Pediatric Clinic and Missions Training Center.
Judy is the facilitator of discipleship and evangelistic strategies with a vision for multiplicative church planting in Guinea and beyond. She also oversees the ChildCARE Plus Program for Guinea. Together they are working to strengthen and develop the 17 Alleluia Christian schools in Guinea.
