Worship Leader Remains Faithful to The Call

REVELATION ABOUT EMMANUEL
Roy says he has been spending more time with the Lord for the last 3 years. He and Melanie had been travelling all over the country and even led worship on two cruises to nine different countries.  “We had been following the Lord’s leading where He wanted us to go.” Then Roy felt he had to get with God to be sure he was still on track.  “I had a moment in my own life and asked God, “Lord are you pleased with this?”  Roy says he felt like the Lord gave him a revelation about Emmanuel.  “It’s the incarnation of God in Christ,” he says and reminds us what

Roy says his new song, “Emmanuel Has Come,” reflects this revelation and that the Creator who came in Christ came to dwell among and within us.  The song can be downloaded from any music platform or www.RoyFields.com.

WORSHIP LEADER
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.

Together, Roy and Melanie moved out of their house and gave everything away because they knew that God had called them to preach revival. They began travelling up and down the East Coast from Maine to Florida with their two children and just an SUV to get them around. Many times it was tough for Roy and his family because they stayed in countless hotels and sometimes slept on the floors of people’s homes. There were times when they had no money and other times they were stranded in different cities. Some churches would not have Roy and Melanie because they were not known at that time. As a result, the Fields would take the money they had from the ministry, go to a city, rent a hall, spend several days there, and advertise in that area with flyers. In the meetings, Roy would lead worship for close to two hours as people were lost in worship. Roy or Melanie would preach each night, give altar calls and lay hands on the sick. The ministry began to grow and the favour of the Lord began to increase. More doors began to open. In 2008, Roy found himself in Lakeland, Florida where he ministered to a global audience of over 1 million viewers by way of the internet and television as well as over 350,000 people in attendance at the revival meetings. Roy and his family continue to travel the road globally to the nations in order to spread the gospel of Jesus through worship. To date, Run with Fire ministry has held revival meetings in over 41 nations and seen over 8,000 salvations.
