Book a Speaker!

Jamie McIntosh, Executive Director

Ed Wilson, Director of Operations


"Jamie McIntosh is a leader who demonstrates reasoned and legitimate passion. He is passionate about knowing Jesus more. He speaks passionately on behalf of the poor. He motivates people to make passionate responses to the challenges of obeying God's word.


Should your church or a group within your church be looking for a speaker who will motivate people to action, I would encourage you to invite Jamie. He brings first hand experiences of the way God is working around the world through organizations such as International Justice Mission. He
combines that with a studied application
of the Word of God. I am sure your
place of ministry will benefit
enormously."

Mr. Forbes joined IJM Canada in June of 2009.  In his role as Regional Representative, Mr. Forbes builds relationships with IJM donors living in Ontario, meets with potential new donors, promotes opportunities for engagement in the work of justice, and seeks to raise the profile of IJM in the Christian and broader communities across Ontario.
