Pastor Ian Traill B.Th is a missionary to China were he has been since 2000. In this period of time he established Traillblazer Ministries in China touching indirectly around 7000 people each month.

Previously he had planted a Church in Daylesford, Victoria, Australia and now he is involved in planting Churches in China and developing Vision 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, we have been conducting Bible classes and training people in the area of leadership with the view of them starting their own home church.

He is a modern day apostle, teacher and Biblical writer with a strong desire to see people saved, but his strong conviction is to bring Bible teaching so that they can grow and survive in this world, to live in a victories state.

Ian's Testimony

1989-90 Ian had come to a crossroad in his life; he knew he was on the way to hell because of the state of his life. Outwardly people saw a National Power-lifting champion, teacher and bouncer in a nightclub, but inwardly he was on a downward spiral of destruction.

One day he picked up a hitchhiker who told him about Jesus and what was needed to find forgiveness, later that day after dropping the hitchhiker off at a church, he decided to ask God to forgive him. He was driving his car, but so powerful was the Lord's presence, Ian had to stop the car, because he could not see through the tears.

A short time later Ian attended Ballarat Christian Fellowship under the Leadership of Pastor Tony Simts B.Th. who has a teaching ministry. Ian said he could see the glory of God in this man's face and he wanted the same. After studying and traveling with Tony Smits to India and Papua New Guinea, he felt the call to the mission field of China.

The first book is, "Augustine's Photocopied Error" to show the importance of repentance and not to focus on sin.
