The aim of this collected work is to focus on family and youth ministry in the field of ecclesial missiology. Its scholarly contribution is to address the sometimes unintended and unnoticed influence of globalisation on the mission of the church against the background of the International Association for Mission Studies study group for children, youth and families. This interdisciplinary scholarly book employs insights from the social sciences, anthropology, psychology and theology. From a primarily auto-ethnographical and empirical perspective, the book describes the powers, inequalities and vulnerabilities of children, youth and families in a globalised world from diverse contexts.
