New Sower's Missionaries!

Peter and Pellen Cowles have been working in missions in Asia for the past four years after relocating to Singapore from the US. They are part of the finisher generation, having both worked in the public sector for many years. Both Peter and Pellen have been on Sowers short term teams to China. Peter has taken many other ministry teams to Asia in the past 10 years. Pellen is a Philippine national; they met in the Philippines and married after the death of Peter’s first wife. They have a daughter, Janey, who is now 11 and helps them in the work in the Philippines. She was adopted from China after a visit with Sowers to an orphanage in 1998. They all have a heart for kids and feel God is leading them to join Sowers to help with the work in the Southern Philippines.
