Meet Brenton and Debbie Driscoll, IM Missionaries to Bulgaria

Brenton and Debbie Driscoll returned back to Bulgaria in June of 2024. They live in Varna, where they are presently serving at New Life Church with the Trifonov and the Voltz families. Along with serving in a myriad of ways at the church, they regularly have people in their home for a meal, a game night, etc., and are being involved in their community. They do this all with the goal of sharing the gospel and seeing the 98% of Bulgarians who are not believers reached with the Good News of Jesus Christ. With their three children, James, Ruby, and Hallie, the Driscolls have a strong passion to see families redeemed and fortified to serve the LORD, even in the everyday, mundane aspects of life.

Why Bulgaria?

We were both blessed to grow up in an intercultural setting and in families that were very much involved in missions. Brenton was born and raised in Japan, and Debbie was born and raised in Bulgaria. Long before we met each other, we felt the Lord’s call to serve Him cross-culturally, wherever that might be.

After we met, we started praying for our future together and for the place where the LORD was going to send us to serve. It did not take too long for us to know that He was leading us to go to Bulgaria, so we said “Yes, Lord!” and ventured on the journey to Bulgaria.

God was faithful and brought us to Shumen less than a month before the birth of our first child, and He has been faithful to this very day. We are humbled to be serving in a country where less than 2% of the whole population truly know Jesus, and we are fervently praying that our Lord will make His name known in all of Bulgaria as it is in heaven.
