History
Elder Cameron Mays encountered the Holy Spirit on October 12, 2004 while working an early morning shift for the Department of Animal Care & Control in Carson, CA. He was fulfilling work responsibilities when the Holy Spirit interrupted him from continuing practical duties. He was consumed in thought, burdened in spirit, and heavy hearted concerning ministry, marriage, fatherhood, finances, and career path. He remembers it being a cold crisp morning in the South Bay of Carson when the power of God’s anointing fell upon him. He, the (Holy Spirit) revolutionized his life, and thought process that day. The word of the Lord came to him, saying, “Prayer’s essential - you have to get between the heartbeat of God and man. The rhythmic pause between beats is the time of intercessory, listening, and waiting for my instructions”.
It was during this time while Pastor Mays was working as an Animal Shelter Aide that he heard the word “REFINERY”. It was resounding in his mind, and spirit! It was peculiar. Elder Mays couldn’t identify with the word metaphorically, philosophically, or contextually, but the word (refinery) continued to impact his spirit. Why me, a maintenance worker for abandoned, diseased, and dangerous animals, he thought? But it was providential that there, in a dog kennel, the Refinery Church would be birthed, and brought into fruition to be used in service by the help of God.
