St. Patrick (390-464)
Patrick was kidnapped from Scotland as a teen and taken to Ireland as a slave. He eventually escaped to the continent, where he studied for the priesthood. After becoming a bishop, Pope Saint Celestine sent him back to Ireland, where he effectively converted the entire country in 33 years.
If I am worthy, I am ready to give up my life, without hesitation and most willingly, for Christ's name. -St. Patrick
