"A Taste of Manila" brings to you the author of the book "Gaya's Gift"



Jennifer Evans is a freelance writer with a deep desire to use this gift to the glory of God. For about 10 years, she worked as a literacy specialist in the Philippines. During that time she spent her spare time writing. She finished a women's Bible study which has been used throughout that country entitled "Diamonds in the Rough, Jewels in the Making." In 2002, one of her children’s stories, "Gaya’s Gift," was published there in diglot (English/Tagalog). She has also written newspaper articles for one of Manila’s nationally distributed newspapers, The Philippine Star, and done many in-house articles for publications of the mission organization with which she was serving. She had opportunities to write curriculum to get vernacular storybooks and Scripture into use in public schools in the Philippines. She has also written motivational and promotional materials.



Jennifer has a B.A. in Christian Missions, an M.A. in Liberal Arts with a concentration in education, and other graduate work in linguistics and literacy. She has been a ghost-writer for administrative correspondence and for personal newsletters. In her personal journals, she enjoys writing poetry and has also written some fiction short stories. She has completed six biographical stories (one of which is under consideration currently for publication) and continues work on her own autobiography. She recently submitted her first non-fiction book for publication.



Jennifer and her husband, Gary, live in Canon, Georgia.
