Miriam Drehsel was born in 1979 and raised in Heidelberg, Germany.  She is an Austrian as well as an American citizen.  After graduating from high school, she moved back to the U.S. in order to take care of her aging grandparents in Texas.  She returned to Heidelberg, Germany in 2003 and received a diploma as a German translator, before moving to Bulgaria in 2005.  During her time in Heidelberg, her main focus was helping  missionaries from the U.S., leading a home group and a teen camp.  She viewed each of these tasks as a step in preparation for ministry in Bulgaria, where she recently co-led a Christian boy and Girl Scout group, trained children's ministers, and helped establish a sponsoring program for needy children.  She has chosen to study psychology at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas in order to one day return to Bulgaria to counsel troubled girls.
