Ellen Rosenberger is a mom, missionary, and author who has a passion for helping churches serve their missionaries well. Her experience as a missionary kid was positive and she headed back to the mission field after college where she met her husband. But the expectations of others and some “relationship drama” led to depression. Ellen shares how experiencing depression for the first time gave her a deeper understanding of Christ’s love for her as she is. Ellen’s books draw on her extensive mission experience to help missionaries be authentic and transition well.

Great quotes from Ellen:

I need to know God loves me.

What is our self worth based on? Is it what other people think?

To the degree that we left well, on good terms with people, said our goodbyes well, we felt our reentry here went well.
