Rev. Dr. Kathryn Marie van Rooyen
Kathryn Marie van Rooyen met Jesus in a dramatic way at the tender age of seven, and has been His "hand-maiden" ever since. She has had multiple dramatic encounters with God throughout her life, beginning even before her salvation. She has experienced visions, visitations from the Lord and from Angels of the Lord. Kathryn grew up accustomed to the presence of the Lord in her life. He has always been her friend and companion. Her life has been a triumph over situation and tragedy through grace, and she freely shares her story of Jesus' touch to restore her life from destruction. She was violently abused in many ways as a child, which God has turned to good by gifting Kathryn with an overwhelming abundance of compassion for others. Her father was violent and mentally ill, and she was sexually abused by seven people between the ages of three and seven. Her father was also a known pornographer, (he was born again, accepting Jesus as savior before his death, praise God!), and God used this little one for gain. Kathryn has founded several ministries and churches, but when she married David van Rooyen, the Lord called them to combine their ministries and establish Revealed Heart Ministries, starting afresh and as one in ministry. Kathryn, who is hard of hearing herself, is also an interpreter for the deaf, and loves teaching sign language as well. Kathryn is married to David and they live in Tazewell, Virginia, with her adopted child who was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. She also has seven babes in heaven from her previous marriage as well as two adult children.

David van Rooyen David van Rooyen was born in Chelmsford, England, and came to know Jesus at a very young age. He graduated from the Royal College of Music in London where he studied the clarinet, piano, and harpsichord. He later retrained in Mathmatics as well. He now is a very anointed musician, incorporating the keyboard and saxophone in worship and in using music as therapeutic ministry. David plays all of these instruments prophetically as well, which is to say that he lets the Holy Spirit direct him and "never before heard" songs come forth. He served as a worship leader in England for many years. David served as the President of the Christian Union for one year, then after graduating, he began to teach music in schools. He later (1977) moved to a market town in Essex on the east side of London, where he lived until moving to the USA in August of 2000. He became a very active and vital part of a church there, as well as the headteacher (principal) of their Christian School. He has taught school for thirty years, and is now a Math teacher as well in Tazewell County.
David is an ordained minister and a true pastor, and is experienced in pastoral care, counseling, and intercession.
David has three adult children from his previous marriage, who live in England.
