"I always had a desire to lead people in worship," Roy says, "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 people's lives are being transformed."
Looking back on his early days as a budding musician and worship leader, Fields is still surprised by the orchestrating hand that God carefully prepared him for his current position. "I had no idea how far and where the Lord would take me in this journey, especially knowing some of the difficulties that I had encountered. But, I realize that there is no limit with God. Not knowing is actually becoming a comfort to me because I know it allows God to be the ultimate director."
In the winter of 1995, Roy went on a mission's trip to Africa with a good friend of his named Rudi Louw (from South Africa). He traveled abroad to Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, & Zambia. There he ministered in several villages and cities. He saw signs, wonders, and miracles happen. It changed his life forever. There was a school of 1,000 students that by the end of the week were attending these meetings that Roy was having on their campus. God told Roy through a prophet of the Lord 2 years prior to this trip that he would do this with Roy to show him that he is no respecter of persons. He can use anyone. Roy did not have a guitar or piano at these meetings, only his voice and a whole lot of expectant youth who were in anticipation to see God move. And, God moved mightily.
Roy began leading worship at age 14 and had a couple of bands that he had formed. One was called "REVELATION" and the other was called "SELAH" The band scene never really worked out for Roy as his heart was really worship, not performance.
At 21, Fields was spending part of his time playing the guitar & 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 worshiped. Fields and Cooley are great friends today.
Within 2 months of moving from upstate New York and moving to Ft. Walton Beach, FL, Roy met his wife Melanie. He went on to lead worship in a local church located in Niceville, FL and from there, Fields and his wife stepped out into fulltime ministry in the summer of 2005. They moved out of their house and gave everything away because they knew that God had called them. After traveling for close to 4 years down the east coast of America from Maine to Florida, Roy found himself in Lakeland, Florida in the summer of 2008 ministering to a global audience of over 100 million viewers by way of the Internet and television as well as over one hundred thousand people attending those meetings. In just 3 years Fields has independently sold over 30,000 copies worldwide of his music albums WE ARE THE GENERATION & LESS OF ME along with his other studio cut CDs. Roy and his wife along with his 2 children still remain traveling on the road today globally to the nations and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ through worship. The heart of Roy's ministry is really to make Jesus famous.
