Mike Wilson is the co-founder and CEO of myLIFEspeaks, a nonprofit ministry based in Neply, Haiti.1 He founded the organization alongside his wife, Missy Wilson, with the goal of developing a Christ-centered culture in Haiti, one life at a time.12
The inspiration for myLIFEspeaks came from Mike and Missy's personal experience with their son, Lane Wilson. Lane was born prematurely at 22 weeks gestation with severe cerebral palsy and blindness due to a stroke before birth. Despite doctors' predictions, Lane survived, which became the driving force behind the organization's mission.1
