Eva Burkholder

Eva Burkholder was born to missionary Bible translators in Papua New Guinea and later became a global worker herself in Indonesia.

She first began writing stories of life and work for her newsletter, then for church publications, and finally started her own blog, Pondered Treasures (evaburkholder.com).

She uses her MA in Christian Education, her training and experience as a women’s ministry director, and as a Bible college adjunct professor to enhance her study of Scripture, her teaching, and her writing.

She and her husband currently live in Richardson, Texas, and oversee the wellbeing of global workers for a church planting mission agency. They have two married sons.

Eva rejuvenates by doing puzzles, crafting, baking, and sitting by the ocean when she gets the chance. She can be heard strategically quoting lines from Jane Austen, Tolkien, and Princess Bride.
