The presence of families in mission fields has both enabled and restricted the outreach of Protestant missions, raising unique concerns for the conduct of mission workers. Part 1 explores the significance of missionary families and their impact on missionary outreach, including the role of missionary children, their status, education, settlement, and contributions to the mission field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the book also addresses a darker side of missionary work that has come to light in recent years: sexual abuse in mission settings. Part 2 examines difficult and pressing questions surrounding this issue, including how to understand allegations of abuse based on recovered memories. Through legal, historical, and psychological perspectives, the book offers insight into how the mission community can address this urgent issue. In addition, Part 3 features a forum on sexual orientation and mission. Fourteen evangelical scholars participate in a discussion that invites ongoing missiological conversation about a timely topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Missionary Family\u003c\/em\u003e offers a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted role of families in missionary work and provides valuable insights into addressing the serious concerns that have arisen within the mission community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.emsweb.org\/about\/who-is-ems\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEvangelical Missiological Society\u003c\/a\u003e- Book 22 [\/DESCRIPTION] [SUBTITLE]Witness, Concerns, Care[\/SUBTITLE][CREDIT] Dwight P.
