Originally from Virginia, Dr. Driskill and his family served as missionaries to Japan for over 20 years. During that time he was the organizing pastor for three new churches in Japan and helped in developing six others as well as two Christian schools. Since leaving Japan, Dr. Driskill has served several Presbyterian churches, including Japanese-American churches in the Los Angeles area, preaching in both English and Japanese. He moved to Westminster Gardens, a missionary retirement home in California after a long career in ministry in the U.S. and Japan.
