Roy

Fields

Roy was raised by a single mother in upstate New York. As a child, he was surrounded by ministry and music. When he was only eleven Roy felt the Lord call him into the ministry. At fourteen, Roy began leading worship and even formed a couple of bands, but his heart was really about worship, not performance. At 21, Roy spent part of his time playing the guitar and piano with worship leaders such as Nick Coetzee and making frequent trips to the Brownsville Revival where world renown worship leader Lindell Cooley would lead. Roy was very taken in by the passion that Lindell had for the Lord in his worship. It really changed everything about the way Roy worshipped. “I always had a desire to lead people in worship,” shares Roy. “I love it when people get caught up in worship. There are times when we are worshipping that I sense His approval – and that’s what it’s about – doing what is pleasing to the Lord. It’s during these intimate times with the Lord that lives are being transformed.”  Later, Roy moved from New York to Florida where he met his wife, Melanie.  Then he became the worship leader at a church in Niceville, Florida. In 2005, Roy and Melanie stepped out by faith into full-time ministry and established Run with Fire Ministries.
