Wayne loved his Lord and served Him in several churches: Grace Baptist Church (Springfield, OH), Calvary Baptist Church (Springfield, MO), Dayton Baptist Temple (Dayton, OH),

Liberty Baptist Church (Corwin, OH), and First Baptist Church (Laura, OH). He worked as a maintenance man for several companies and taught for five years at Temple Christian School in Dayton.
