Lianna Davis on Writing with David Hesselgrave

Strike the Match with J. D. Payne

One of the most influential U. S. missiologists was David Hesselgrave. After serving in Japan for several years, he was a professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Some of his writings include Planting Churches Cross-Culturally, Communicating Christ Cross-Culturally, and Paradigms in Conflict. Hesselgrave passed away in 2018.

Prior to his death, he and his granddaughter, Lianna Davis, collaborated on his last book which was recently published: We Evangelicals and Our Mission: How We got to Where We are and How to get to Where We Should be Going. In this episode, Lianna and I discuss this writing and what it was like to collaborate with her grandfather.

Lianna is the author of Keeping the Faith: A Study in Jude and Made for a Different Land: Eternal Hope for Baby Loss. She may be found at Liannabdavis.com and on Twitter @liannadavis and at IG @liannabdavis.
