Vicki Adams

Vicki's career began in engineering, but after starting a family with her husband, Ray, her focus shifted towards working primarily with people instead of things. This led to an 18-year tenure as an administrative assistant and database administrator at her church. She began working with Upstream in 2023, combining her knowledge of mission work with her experience in the practicalities of putting big ideas into action.

Vicki and her husband are passionate about mission work and have participated in, and often led, over 30 short-term mission trips across four continents. They currently reside in Lenoir City, near Knoxville, Tennessee, and have two daughters, two sons-in-law, and two young grandsons. Their household also includes a cat, who grudgingly tolerates their plans for further world exploration.
