17-Year-Old Boy Missing in Cleveland, Ohio, Family Asks for Prayer and Public Support

With hearts lifted in prayer and hope, we humbly ask for the public’s help in locating Jonathan Gabriel Bowen, a young boy who has been missing since January 27, 2026, from Cleveland, Ohio

Each passing moment without answers weighs heavily on those who love him, and the uncertainty surrounding his disappearance is deeply painful for his family, friends, and community. At this time, authorities have confirmed that Jonathan remains missing, and every effort to bring him home safely continues.

Jonathan is more than a name on a flyer or a case number he is a child cherished by his family, someone whose laughter, presence, and future matter profoundly. His loved ones are living through every parent’s worst fear, holding onto faith while facing unimaginable worry. They are asking for compassion, vigilance, and unity from the public during this critical time.

When a child goes missing, community awareness can make all the difference. A shared post, a remembered detail, or a timely phone call has the power to change the course of a search. 

Someone, somewhere, may have seen Jonathan, noticed something unusual, or holds a small piece of information that could help authorities move closer to finding him. Even details that may seem insignificant could prove vital when placed in the larger picture.

Law enforcement and national organizations are actively involved in the search. Anyone who has any information at all, no matter how small or uncertain it may seem, is urged to contact the Cleveland Police Department (Ohio) at (216) 621-1234, or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678. Please reference NCMEC Case #2076160 when calling. Tips can be life-changing, and reporting information promptly could help ensure Jonathan’s safe return.

In moments like this, prayer and collective action go hand in hand. We ask that you keep Jonathan and his family in your thoughts and prayers pray for protection, clarity, and comfort, and for those working tirelessly to find him. Pray that Jonathan is safe, surrounded by care, and guided back home.

You can also help by sharing Jonathan’s information across social media, within community groups, and among friends and neighbors. Awareness saves lives, and your voice could reach someone who holds the key to bringing this child home.

Let us stand together in compassion, hope, and determination. May Jonathan Gabriel Bowen be found swiftly and safely, and may his family soon feel the relief of holding him again. Until then, we remain watchful, prayerful, and united in the effort to guide him home. 💙
