The good-looking bloke above is Dr Ian Traill. Ian was a missionary in China for many years, and has returned to Australia and settled in Portland, Victoria. 

He ministered as a missionary to China for over 18 years. Prior to that, he planted a church in Daylesford, Victoria, Australia.

Ian was also one of Australia’s greatest powerlifters in the ’80s, representing Australia in the Commonwealth Games and World Games. 

Ian has written many “Christian Faith-Based” books and has been an encourager to many, as well as a church planter here and abroad.

He is “very” busy renovating his house and showing us his multiple skillsets. Ian was a secondary school teacher and has an engineering background. 

Ian has spoken at our men’s group several times over the years.

He will share his Life Story with us! Without giving anything away, it will “blow your socks off”.”
