A Journey That's Just The Beginning
There’s something sacred about the places that shape you—especially the ones you didn’t realize God was using until years later.
For me, that place is Prince Edward Island.
As a child, I spent time on the Island and fell in love with its beauty—but even more so, with its people. I didn’t fully understand it then, but something about PEI drew me in. The red dirt roads, the quiet coastlines, the conversations with Islanders who carried faith and resilience in their bones—it all left an impression on my heart. A seed was planted that I wouldn’t recognize until decades later.
And now, looking back, I can say with confidence: God knew.
He knew the beginning from the end.
He knew that those childhood visits weren’t just vacations—they were the first few steps on a path He was weaving with purpose.
He knew that one day I’d be called to walk by faith, and when that day came, He’d bring me full circle… back to the Island that first captured my heart.
? The Mission Ahead
Today, my family and I are answering that call. We’re stepping out in faith to serve in Clyde River, PEI, coming alongside Clyde River Baptist Church—a small but faithful congregation that is stepping into a season of new life and renewed mission.
Our goal is simple but weighty:
To shepherd the church,
To equip believers for everyday ministry,
And to reach the community with the hope of the Gospel.
But we know we can’t do it alone.
? How You Can Join the Mission
This is more than a family move—it’s a Kingdom movement, and we believe God is inviting the capital "C" Church to be part of it.
We’re asking you to:
Pray with us—for provision, for people, and for open hearts in PEI.
Partner with us—whether through encouragement, connection, or financial support.
Participate—we’ll be inviting mission teams to come serve alongside us through outreach and community engagement.
We’ll be sharing regular blog and vlog updates right here so you can follow the journey and find out how to get involved along the way.
You can also give directly to the mission by visiting our Giving Page
to help support our move, launch, and long-term sustainability on the Island.
? Welcome to the Front Lines
The harvest is ready. The workers are few. And God is stirring hearts—starting with ours.
We don’t know exactly how it will all unfold, but we know the One who leads the way. He’s brought us this far, and we’re trusting Him for every step forward.
Thank you for joining us. Thank you for believing in the work God is doing on Prince Edward Island. And welcome—to the front lines.
With gratitude and expectancy,
Josh & the Fortier Family
