All Believers share kinship in Christ, but Kevin and Tonja Robbins share an intimate bond as well. They were married in 1996 and have a beautiful daughter (Amy) in whom they are proud. Kevin's love of Christ and willingness to serve him was fostered by his mother (Rachel) who often sang gospel music and taught him harmony by saying, "get off my note and find something else to sing"!

Kevin played with the Lamplighters at age 15 and then attended the Stamps Baxter School of Music to study Quartet and southern gospel music at age 16 and returned again at age 19. Kevin joined the Nationaires Quartet (managed by Bob Hutchins) where he remained until the group disbanded. Kevin and Tonja (who at age 10 became known as the "bus rat") spent the free time between singings throwing Frisbee. Who would have thought that Tonja would mature to become such a beautiful bride and constant companion in service! Kevin then played and sang with Tribute, a family group, during the ages from 20 to 30. Tonja's singing roots run deep as well: her father Bob Hutchins was an accomplished bass singer who loved the Lord and loved to sing.

Tonja began singing specials with her Dad and the Messengers at age 14. As time passed, Tonja began singing more with the church choir, church groups and doing solos. By age 28 Tonja and her dad started a church quartet, and Bob then got in touch with Kevin about reforming the Messengers Quartet. For a blessed period of time, they all sang together. Tonja was raised in a music filled Christian home and feels very fortunate to have had the opportunity to share these precious times with her dad. He was her father and perhaps more importantly, her spiritual hero. Bob Hutchins went home to be with the Lord in 2003. Kevin and Tonja's service in song is a living testimony of the power of love in Christ.

Kevin and Tonja enjoy the country life were blessed with a beautiful horse farm in 1997. This love of horses and love for Christ led to their involvement in 4B Chapel and the Triad Cowboy Church where they are an integral part of the worship services in addition to singing with Revelation.

In the early 60's in elementary school I had a choice of taking music and chorus classes as an alternative to some worse evils of grade school that I won't even begin to mention. In hindsight it was one of those instances that the Bible speaks of as "all things working together for good". Even before I was aware that I wanted to sing God was aware of it. Beginning in Chorus at Kernersville Elementary School , to Performing Chorus at Carver High to the Madrigals at East Forsyth Senior High, I began to realize that this was something I could do!

After I graduated High School it seemed I'd hit a dead end. Until a little old lady mentioned my name to Jack Langley and before I new it I was singing tenor with The Anchormen. In the late 80's I started a group called the Brethren and The Voices of Triumph. During this time in my life was when God decided we needed to talk. This talk lasted roughly 10 years as the Holy Spirit began to mold me into the realization that it was the Holy Spirit in me and not me who was doing the work. At that time in my life I found Christ as not only my deliverance from hell but as a loving Savior who really was interested in me and wanted to use me for all I could be.

In the early 90's Kevin Robbins approached me about filling in for their lead singer. I agreed and learned the material and our first concert was onstage with the Kingsmen at the Civic Center in Lexington NC . Soon afterwards I became the permanent lead singer and remained until the group disbanded. In January of 2005 after Bob Hutchins home going we retired the Messengers and regrouped as Revelation.

Along with my wife Ginger and my children Kendall and Joy we load onto the bus and head out. Of course the kids get sick of hearing me and they even tell me so, but when they come up and hug me and say, "you done good daddy" well you can't help but feel as though you are in God's light. My wife adds to the songs we do with her talent of ASL, American Sign Language, and it just seems to make the songs come alive even more.

I've learned to grow where God plants you and God has placed some wonderful people around me. Kevin and Tonja have encouraged and allowed me the freedom to develop my talents as a singer/songwriter.

Our prayer is that the song that we plant in your hearts will take root and grow into the love of Christ that we have found by serving him.
