Organization
McIntosh founded the Canadian branch of IJM in 2002, after having spent a year and a half in prayer about how to alleviate oppression in other countries. Jacob Moon performed a benefit concert in Hamilton, Ontario for IJM Canada in 2006 after McIntosh recommended a book to him that made Moon aware of the organization. Also in 2006, McIntosh appeared before the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Status of Women, calling the House of Commons to rescue female slaves in South Asia from their bondage.
