History

Elder Cameron Mays encountered the Holy Spirit, October 12, 2004, while working the morning shift at Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care & Control in Carson, CA. He was performing normal work related tasks, consumed in thought, burdened concerning marriage, fatherhood, finances, ministry, and career path when the Holy Spirit rested upon him. . It was a cold, crisp day in the South Bay of Southern California, but he sensed the presence of God. He, The Holy Spirit revolutionized Cameron’s life, and thought process in one single moment! The word of the Lord came to him, saying, “Prayer is essential. You’ll have to get between the heartbeat of God, and man! The rhythmic pause between beats are times of intercessory, listening, and waiting for my instructions”. The Holy Spirit spake saying, “Yes, an Animal Shelter Aide. Hear ye these words”.

Hearing the word REFINERY was resounding in his mind, and rather peculiar. He had difficulty determining its significance metaphorically, philosophically, or contextually, but refinery resonated in his spirit. Elder Mays remembers speaking a loud, saying, why me Lord? I’m a maintenance worker for abandoned, diseased, and dangerous animals. The Lord replied, saying, “You are to name the ministry Refinery Church, for you will bring deliverance from your own experience to heal my people.” And He, the Holy Spirit departed that very moment thereafter.

It was providential that from a dog kennel, The Refinery Church was born, given a name, and brought forth in the month of November, in the year of our Lord, Two-Thousand and Four with Aneesa D. Smith-Mays, 13 month old son, Micah, who would later launch from the living room of their home at 11249 Sassafras Rd, Fontana, CA by the help of Almighty God.
