Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: The Heralds Trust and Ian Leitch are familiar names in Christian circles, particularly in Scotland. Many still remember the group "The Heralds," who sang and presented the gospel in halls, cinemas, and theaters, and on television, during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. An estimated 7,000 people became Christians through their ministry in these days. Ian was originally one of the vocalists with the group and also did the preaching. Shortly after marrying his wife, Morag, in 1964, Ian went to the United States to study at Moody Bible Institute in 1966. After three years of study and pastoringFairfield Avenue Baptist Church in Chicago, the Leitches returned to Scotland in the autumn of 1969, so that Ian could take up work as evangelist with The Heralds; The Heralds Trust was formed in 1970. For the past thirty-eight years, Ian has been evangelist and Bible teacher with The Heralds Trust, traveling extensively in the United Kingdom, North America (more than 150 visits), Europe, Haiti, India, and Guatemala. Over the past thirty-two years, Ian has pioneered a traveling Bible school called the "New Life" seminars. These week-long seminars run Monday to Friday, each evening. More than 9,000 people have attended these seminars. Ian has worked closely with Luis Palau, Moody Bible Institute, and Baptist Union of Scotland. He has spoken at Filey Convention, England; the Baptist General Conference youth, Wheaton, Baptists of Canada, Niagara Falls; Baptist Youth World Conference; and many other conferences, including Moody Keswick, Florida; Maranatha, Michigan; Winona Lake, Indiana; Cannon Beach, Oregon; Muskoka Baptist Conference, Elim Lodge, and Fair Havens in Canada; and Spring Harvest, Scotland. Another side of Ian's ministry has been teaching apologetics at Scottish Baptist College and Capernwray Bible Schools, as well as teaching the New Life seminars in Albania, India, and Romania. Ian has developed "Each One Bring One" evangelism based on meals from breakfasts to suppers. You cannot attend if you do not bring a non-Christian. Ian is the after-meal speaker. Thousands have come to Christ through these events. Ian's unique personality and pulpit style appeal to people of all ages, and his enthusiasm for the gospel and godliness are contagious. He is committed to the inerrancy of Scripture: on that basis his faith is built and his work is determined. His heart is that of an evangelist. He is never happier than when he is presenting the gospel, whether in a cathedral, a university, a house group, or the open air. In fact, over the years Ian has spoken at many schools, colleges, and universities in various countries. Ian has long connections with his home church, Charlotte Baptist Chapel. His grandfather, Blacksmith Brown, was responsible for starting the open-air ministry in the chapel. His mother, Jessie Brown, was converted during the revival days of Rev. Joseph Kemp. His father, Arthur Leitch, and mother were married by Dr. Graham Scroggie; thereafter, his mother left the chapel to worship with her husband in the Christian Brethren. Ian returned to his mother's church in his middle teens. He was leader of the Youth Ministry for three years and it was there that he met Morag MacLean. The MacLean family was also well known in the chapel, where Morag's mother played the piano on many occasions for soloists during Dr. Scroggie's ministry. Morag's father, Alexander MacLean, was a well-known and much-appreciated Baptist Union lay preacher. Ian and Morag were baptized by Dr. Gerald Griffiths and married by Dr. Alan Redpath. They left for America in 1966 with the blessing of the chapel. Upon their return, the Elders of Charlotte Chapel commissioned Ian to the ministry of The Heralds. Ian continues to have a close relationship with his church, its e
