Writer In Focus: Meet Eva Kristiaman
"For I know the plans I have
for you," says the Lord,
"plans to prosper you
and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope
and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
for you," says the Lord,
"plans to prosper you
and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope
and a future."

Like the classic Batik, her life has been intricately
handwoven by God before she was even born.
Literally meaning “living Christian faithful in faith”, Ms.
Eva Kristiaman has dedicated her life and her talent in lamenting on the life
of Christ and using her golden gift of writing to spread the Good News to her
widest possible reach. Her name says it all.
In 1993, she graduated with a Bachelor’s
Degree in Theology at Duta Wacana Christian University. She then started
devoting her passion and vigor in writing and publishing materials that
encompass the love of God to man, and the Promise of Eternal Salvation to those
who hold on to Him.
Even in her own little ways, she still continues her “calling”
of being a beacon of hope to lost lambs so that they may find her way home,
through every stroke of her ink.
In August 1, 2012, day of the Lord, she joins the illustrious
roster of top Christian writers after winning a place in the Littworld
International Essay Competition for her compelling entry, May I Come In.
In an unexpected twist of faith, God connected us on a
blessed Friday afternoon and had a chat as if we already know each other for
centuries. I was fortunate to see her pure heart, filled with nothing but love
and positivity that despite living in a globalized era filled with globalized problems,
Jesus still reigns as long as there are people like her who lives, breathes,
and devotes her life for the glory of God.
Terimah Kasih Ahyi Eva!

Beautifully written! You introduced a very dignified woman in the best way possible.
TumugonBurahinBanyak terima kasih (Thank you very much)JP! You are so talented and so blessed, God has entrusted so many wonderful gifts into you hands. I trust the Lord would bless you with His wisdom to use all those gifts to bless others more and for His glory. It is a great blessing to know you, and to read what you wrote. Keep writing and I will keep reading your stories. The Lord is with you always. Mabuhay! :)
TumugonBurahinauntie thank you so much... your words have touched me in the deepest, most meaningful way possible. God bless you!
TumugonBurahinGod really intertwines us in amazing, surprising ways. I am blessed to know both the blogger (recently) and the featured writer (years ago) in different places and circumstances. Now, how does one explain such encounters? See you both soon--in another place, another time on planet Earth.
TumugonBurahinInteresting write-up!
Yes, so true, Grace, God is so amazing! I am also so blessed to know you both. And I could see how the Lord has blessed you and what you wrote to bless so many readers. I really look forward to seeing you both soon.
BurahinMiss Grace, your last comment alone is enough to make me soar to the moon and back. My god, THE Grace Chong visited my blog! I can't believe it!
