Our Board and Team
Mike Adams
Board Member
Mike Adams
Michael Adams has long believed in giving back, especially after experiencing answered prayers in his own life. His early career included roles as a pastor, Licensed Professional Counselor, and dedicated volunteer. Though once dreaming of being a wealthy benefactor, he embraced "micro giving" when finances were tight—offering help in small but meaningful ways.
When Eddie Tokpa envisioned coaching soccer in Uganda to empower youth, Michael sold a small inheritance to help launch Msingi Soccer Academy with essential equipment. As a micro benefactor, he believes no gift is too small to make a difference.
