Gospel singer and founder of Len and Cathy Mink Ministries Len Mink dies unexpectedly:
Tulsa, Oklahoma – grieves the loss of a revered figure, Len Mink, who was celebrated as a Psalmist, preacher, singer, and television host. Mink’s passing at the age of 76 was announced through a heartfelt social media tribute from the Faith Bible Fellowship of El Paso, Texas. The post hailed him as a steadfast champion of faith, now ascending to his eternal reward, and extended heartfelt support to the Mink Family.
Len Mink’s life was marked by a multifaceted career that began at the age of 21, launching his television journey with a weekly prime-time production. He showcased his vocal prowess in thirty-two concerts alongside the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and made notable appearances on renowned shows like The Tonight Show, Mike Douglas, and Merv Griffin.
However, a pivotal moment in Mink’s life occurred in 1971 when a spiritual awakening transpired at his CBS television studio in Cincinnati, catalyzed by influential figures like Ken Bagwell, Arthur Blessitt, and Father Tom Turnbull. This encounter led him into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, significantly transforming his life.

“Psalmist, preacher, singer & personal friend of nearly 50 years, Len Mink, went home to be with the Lord this morning… Cathy, his sweet wife, went to heaven back in the spring…
“What a reunion they had today with Jesus! Len officiated and married Christine and I back in 1977… For several years, though living in Tulsa, he and his family would come back to Ohio and spend Thanksgiving with my sister and her family and me and my family… we have so many awesome memories of being with him…
“What a singer! A funny guy! And who can forget the many people he ministered to with Gospel Duck! He will be missed, but he is in our future bb”
