 On April 16, 1858, John G. Paton, at the age of thirty-three, sailed for the New Hebrides Islands of the South Pacific with his newlywed wife, Mary, who was pregnant with their first child.  Paton had an unyielding belief in the sovereignty of God, coupled with an evangelistic resolve to fulfill the Lord’s Great Commission.  This conviction and calling led him and his wife to the Cannibalistic and savage tribes on the Island of Tanna.
