Mays served 13 years serving a church in Desoto Parish, about 30 miles south of Shreveport. His vision for Willow Chute involves leading the church to become United, Efficient and Evangelistic.

He was licensed to exercise the gift of preaching in September 1994, and ordained to the gospel ministry in June 1995
