Bedrohung durch Kannibalen! Dieser missionarischen Ausnahmesituation stellte sich der Schotte John Paton (1824–1907), als er auf den Neuen Hebriden im Pazifik mit der Weitergabe des Evangeliums begann, nachdem er in seinem armen, aber gottesfürchtigen Elternhaus entscheidend geprägt worden war. Jahrelang in akuter Gefahr stehend, musste er die erste Missionsstation auf Tanna unter dramatischen Umständen verlassen. Sein neues Wirkungsfeld fand er auf Aniwa. Paton war zu seiner Zeit bekannt als »der Mann mit dem einen Gedanken« – das Evangelium für die nicht missionierten Völker der Südsee! Seine Glaubenserfahrungen und seine Missionsperspektive sind auch heute noch aktuell. Diese außergewöhnlich beeindruckende Autobiografie gehört zu den Klassikern in der Missionsliteratur.
