The Story of John G. Paton

John Huffman

Description

John Huffman recounts the remarkable story of the Scottish missionary who left his family and home to take the gospel to the cannibal-infested islands of the New Hebrides. Facing hostility, sorcery, repeated threats on his life, and the heartbreaking deaths of his wife and infant son, Paton pressed on in faith, convinced that even cannibals needed Christ. Through years of danger and perseverance, God protected him, opened doors, and eventually brought revival as chiefs like Namaka renounced their idols and entire villages turned to the Lord. John highlights the legacy of prayer, courage, and surrender that sustained Paton’s ministry, challenging believers to embrace their own “Tanna”—the place of costly obedience where God calls them to labor for His glory.
