Jay and Emily Bowdoin are missionary associates to Belgium working in anti-human trafficking, church planting, and missionary kid care.

Jay was born on the mission field to Sam and Shellie Bowdoin and grew up his entire life in Asia Pacific. Emily went to the mission field at a very young age with her parents Jerry and April Foster and grew up in Belgium. Their experiences as missionary kids gave them a passion to reach the lost and a love for living overseas.

After getting married in 2019, God immediately led them back to the field and they have been serving in missions ever since.

At Redefined Church, they are shining God’s light among the secular peoples of Europe through student ministry mentorship, developing Next Gen leaders, community outreach, and more.

As the Western Europe Representatives on the Europe MK Care Team, they provide pastoral care to missionary kids in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and The Netherlands.

Through Breaking Chains Network they are working to offer hope, help, and healing to victims and survivors of prostitution and human trafficking in the red-light district of Antwerp, Belgium.

Jay and Emily’s hearts are to share the light and love of Christ in Belgium and throughout Europe. They have already spent four years on the field and are eager to return! They are currently itinerating in their home district of Peninsular Florida.
