About Dr. Ian Traill

Dr. Ian Traill retired missionary to China where he has been for more than 18 years. Previously he had planted a Church in Daylesford, Victoria, Australia and now he is involved in planting Churches in China and developing Traillblazer, Tony Smits Bible College throughout the nation. Arriving in August 2000 to take up a position teaching English at Universities and Colleges, working as a "tentmakers" ministry, he has been conducting Bible classes and training people in the area of leadership with the view of them starting their own home church. Ian has a strong desire to bring teaching to the people, thus he has written many books. A missionary is one who is sent to cross over geographic and cross-cultural boundaries to plant the Word of God and a local church, thus establishing God’s culture in a new location. The Gospel of John clearly portrays Jesus as fulfilling the ministry of a missionary sent from God (John 3:17-34, 4:34, 5:23, 5:36-38, 6:29-57, 7:16-33, 8:16-42, 9:4, 10:36, 11:42, 12:44-49, and13:20). Jesus Christ came as a missionary to this world to save us, but non-Christians reading His story in a newspaper at that time, would say that He was a failure. We, of course, are aware He did not fail. It is because of His mission that we are here today, and it was through someone else that we heard about Jesus too. Faith comes by hearing the Word, but if there is no preacher how can people hear? So we are going to all nations.

Newsletter August 2015

Hi to all
The school holiday period has come to an end and I am about to start a new job in the leading University in our city. I have been asked to run a training class for students who wish to study in Australia. I had held a position like this in the past and gave it up to spend more time in ministry, but financially we need a little bit more for our work so back to the chalk face.

In July I mentioned we did some meeting in another two of our fellowships in two different provinces, well this month I received news about some healings. Quickly I will tell you about one. A woman came into the first meeting and walked past me and I was drawn to call her back and pray for her as I could see in the Spirit she had a large growth on her back. I prayed for her again and again over the six meeting we had there. I had not asked her what was wrong nor did she say, but it was later that I heard she was told by the doctors she would die. The news I have just received is she is completely healed. To Jesus be the glory.

Campuses please keep up your record keeping up to date in your Dropbox.

Please don’t leave things until the last minute.

Please pray for us as it looks like I need to go back to work as financial support has dropped and we need to earn some money teaching English to look after our family and the ministry.
