Serving as a youth pastor has proven to be life-changing for himself as well as those whom he serves, the youth.  He has found a special calling upon his life counseling teens that are considering suicide. Local youth will seek him out because of how their peers view his ability to listen and not judge.  With his wife beside him, they are a formidable team in helping battle this devastating component of life for youth today. Most recently, he has served as a team leader for Ashley Heights Baptist Church in Santa Clara, Guatemala, where the team provides VBS, bibles, and witnessing to those that are lost.  DeWayne is also a team leader for the church planting and building project.  His church is also in need of a pastor, and he has played an active role in preaching while the church searched for an interim.
