Joanne Roper was born in New Zealand. In her teens, while in college, Joanne gave her life to Christ. In the subsequent years her life was devoted to her family and serving Christ.
 
In 1994, Joanne and her family came to Oregon, USA, in response to the call of God. There she was ordained as a minister under Revivals of Deliverance. With a strong background in music, Joanne has grown and developed and even stronger prophetical gift in music and playing the saxophone.
 
Along with this, Joanne also has a strong prophetical teaching and healing ministry; with the emphasis on the body of Christ rising up to proclaim the Kingdom of God, that is within each born again spirit filled believer. Her passion is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12). Through the years many have been prayed for both at the workplace and ministry setting which have resulted in many healings: cancer especially.
 
Joann now travels extensively throughout the US and over seas with her ministry, Joanne Roper Ministries/Revivals of Deliverance, Inc.
