Joshua’s Story

From a Doctor’s Prognosis to God’s Purpose

At 10 months old, doctors told us Joshua might never walk, talk, or live independently. Today, he is a joyful young man whose life continues to inspire everyone he meets.

One unforgettable day on the water gave our family more than a memory—it revealed what was possible. That experience became the beginning of Mission Fishin’ and our desire to create hope, belonging, and lasting memories for other families.

  • Good morning, Tony and the Mission Fishin Ministry Team, I just wanted to say a big thank you for such an incredible experience with Captain Mark and his first mate. Our family had an unforgettable time out on the water! The kids were all smiles the entire trip, and my wife and daughter were so excited to reel in two beautiful fish — you can see the joy in the attached pictures. The boat was beautiful and comfortable, and the service couldn’t have been better. Everything about the day was handled with such care and warmth. We feel truly blessed to have had this opportunity to make such special memories together as a family. May God continue to bless you, Captain Mark, and the entire Mission Fishin Ministry for the wonderful work you’re doing. You’re making a real difference in people’s lives, and we’re so thankful to have been a part of it. With gratitude and blessings, Jean Joinville & Family
