Marv & Evie Bowers
Marv and Evie Bowers served as missionaries with MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) for 17 years — Marv for 12 years as a mission pilot in Zaire (now DR Congo) and 5 years as MAF-USA's Africa Projects Manager.
In 1986, Marv and Evie founded ILS (Information and Learning Systems) International. During the past 35+ years, ILS has had the privilege of designing MIS (Ministry Info Systems) for many of our leading international ministries including:

Current Focus
ILS's current focus is on the Countries and Peoples of Sub-Sahara Africa. Just as every specialist (surgeon, engineer, machinist and craftsman) has a set of physical tools, ILS specializes in designing and field-testing low-cost digital tools for our pioneers serving the least-reached peoples and places of the world 🌎.
