Mike and Roxy Lynch both grew up in the Minneapolis area. They were both Christians when they married in 1983. Seven months later, they moved to Atlanta GA where Mike started a successful career in sales. He had many prosperous years before the tide began to turn. Because of some bitterness and sin in Mikes life, things started falling apart. He grew cold toward God, and his marriage was crumbling.
11 years into the marriage and with 3 children, Mike had had enough and he left his wife and children for what he thought would be a better life. God had other plans. Mike’s wife Roxy would not allow the enemy to break up the family. She spent six months in constant prayer for him, trusting God to heal Mike, her and the family. Roxy also made a commitment to the Lord during this time that if He healed this marriage she would serve Him however and wherever He wanted.
After 4 months of separation, Roxy was led to an inner-city ministry in Atlanta called Blood-N-Fire ministries. While there God told her that the Pastor was the man she had been praying for to minister to Mike. Under the agreement with Roxy, that if he went to see this man one time she would sign the divorce papers, Mike went to visit with the Pastor once, which turned into every week. Over the next couple of months, much healing took place within Mike and he returned to his family a changed man of God. In the process, Roxy also had become a changed woman of God.
Mike and Roxy quickly became involved in the inner-city ministry and it didn’t take long to know they were called to be full time. Knowing this was ministry to the poor made it a difficult decision to make as there would be no salary. They would have to raise their own funds. Two years from first beginning to serve at BNF ministries Mike left his job and took the leap of faith. He began serving as administrator and an associate Pastor. This is where he and Roxy eventually received their ordinations.
Two years later, in 1999, God again asked them to take another leap of faith and do what neither of them wanted to do, sell all and move to Minnesota. A few months later, after 17 years in Georgia they packed a truck and moved back to Minneapolis.
Since then They have co-founded a multi-million dollar a year ministry which has been giving to the poor and needy locally and around the world for 10 years now.
They left that organization in 2005 to begin another journey of faith. What they now do is multi faceted and includes things such as;
Receiving goods and sending them locally and around the world to orphanages and needy people.Disaster relief around the Country. When disaster strikes, BNF Mpls, Muncie, IN, and San Antonio, TX,
