Roxana Konopinski has faithfully led RETA as Executive Director these past 18 years. From two part-time employees (Roxana was one of them), to a staff of 15+ providing men’s and women’s coaching, abortion recovery support, family store supplies and medical services including pregnancy testing, first trimester ultrasound, abortion pill reversal, STD testing and treatment with more services soon to come! Roxana retires after having led RETA’s journey into a beautiful new debt-free building in downtown Elkhart.

We will remain eternally grateful to Roxana and her husband Tom’s commitment to honor Christ by honoring families and life.

We are excited to introduce our new Executive Director, Stacey Gagnon.

Stacey and her husband Darren are Grace College graduates with 7 children, 5 of which are adopted. They founded Lost Sparrows, a not-for-profit ministry as a result of working with foster children and adopting children with special needs in eastern Europe.

Stacey and Darren are educators along with Stacey also being a Registered Nurse and national speaker at conferences with a focus on helping families understand the effects of trauma.

Stacey and Darren have written a book to support families of special needs children entitled “Cowboy Joel and the Wild Wild West”. They’ve appeared on the Today Show and Focus on the Family to share their adoption and family experiences.

We are excited for Stacey’s heart and passion to lead RETA and can’t wait for you to meet her!
