Speaker

 

Jojo Ruba is this years speaker for the 2023 Lethbridge Pro-Life gala. Jojo is a Christian apologist from Calgary, AB, Canada. Over the last 20 years, Jojo has spoken across Canada in front of many venues. This includes at secular universities, high schools and during Sunday morning services. He has professionally debated atheists, university professors and philosophers on issues ranging from abortion to the existence of God.

​

Jojo has helped start several successful local and national Canadian organizations. These organizations equip Christians and others to be effective in their daily dialogue on issues like the case for the resurrection of Christ, responding to moral relativism and defending a biblical view of sexuality and gender identity.

​

Recently, he shared his own personal story of dealing with same-sex attraction at a public forum for his local municipal government. This was in response to the city intending to ban Christian counseling he himself benefited from. As part of a ministry he started, Free to Care, he helped organize the largest Christian response to laws criminalizing Christian support in Canada, personally speaking to political leaders from many parties and secular and religious media.

Jojo earned a Bachelor of Journalism and a Masters in Political Science from Carleton University in Ottawa.
