Jake Hamilton is the Lead Catalyst at the Refuge House of Prayer. As the Lead Catalyst, he is the driving force behind the vision and direction of RefugeHOP. Jake has been involved actively in ministry for almost 10 years in the heart of Rancho Cucamonga. He has been involved in planting a church as well as serving both as a worship pastor and then as youth pastor for many years in the same local church in Rancho, where he eventually met his wife of 5 years, Nicci. Jake and Nicci both grew up and attended school in Rancho Cucamonga from Elementary to High School. They married in the summer of 2002 and are blessed with 3 beautiful children, Geneva (four), Ezra (two), and Judah (just a few monthes old). Jake has always been personally committed to the passionate pursuit of the knowledge of God and a deep desire for intimacy with Jesus, but his ministry path took a turn two years ago when he was introduced to the International House Of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City for the first time. There he was introduced to a 24/7 lifestyle of prayer, worship and fasting that at this time has been going non-stop for almost 9 years. As he witnessed the passion and intimacy at IHOP a longing began to grow in his heart to foster a corporate pursuit of this lifestyle in his home community and the body of Christ represented there. It was only a year later that Jake decided, after prayer, fasting, and the confirmation of prophetic words to move on the assignment God had placed on his heart for this season. One specific prophetic word came from Lou Engle at a conference at Bethel Church in Redding just one week after Jake had committed to moving forward in this call. Lou spoke to him directly and said, "You are called to plant a 24/7 house of prayer in the Inland Empire that will break the bondage of drug and alcohol addiction, the power of divorce, and the defeat depression." He knew from that moment on that this wasn't just a good idea, it was God's idea. And so began the journey of the Refuge House of Prayer. Jake's passion is to raise up a generation in revival, where the impossible is possible and we learn to tarry for the promises of God to be made manifest on earth. His powerful worship provokes intimacy and breaks chains as he passionately draws people into the throne room of heaven where the King of Glory dwells with all the provisions of heaven. He has seen the power of the cross for salvation, healing, and deliverance as people have come into their right identity in Christ and begin to see the depth of love God has for them. He has recognized his destiny and he desires the same for all those who enter RefugeHOP and hear the new sound God has given him to release.

Paul Cain has has been in the ministry for over 60 years, and has led a life marked by the supernatural. While still in his mothers womb, an angel appeared to his mother with a message from the Lord: "The fruit of your womb is a male child. Name him Troas Paul. He will preach the gospel as the Apostle Paul of old.... and he will prophesy to Kings and Presidents." At the age of 17, Paul began to hold citywide salvation and healing campaigns in tents, civic auditoriums and churches where supernatural and documented healings took place. He became one of many prominent preachers in a move of the Spirit known as the "Healing Revival" which lasted from 1947 to 1958.  During those days, the Lord began to speak to Paul about the excesses of the healing-revival movement. Paul became greatly dismayed at the hype and greed that he saw in the ministry arena. By 1958, Paul had become totally disheartened. At age 29, he was disillusioned and burned out.    In the midst of Paul's despair and repentance, God told him that if he kept himself from corruption and remained content with living a humble life marked by Scripture study and prayer, one day he would be allowed to stand before a new breed of men and women leaders. These would be marked by simplicity, purity and remarkable manifestations of power. Paul's obedience to God would result in him retreating from public ministry for some 25 years... a true desert experience. Paul calls these his "almost silent" years Though he was not at the forefront during this time, he was never totally out of the ministry. Paul re-emerged in 1986 to begin a new phase of supernatural healing and prophetic ministry. Today, Paul Cain is acknowledged as one of the most prominent leadership figures in the Christian "prophetic" movement, and is known as a spiritual father to thousands.  He continues to move in the supernatural, and to share about the forgiveness, love, and mercy of God.
