'''Wayne Lamar DuBose''' (born July 30, 1946) is a [[Southern Baptist]] [[clergy]]man in his adopted city of [[Shreveport]], [[Louisiana]], who from 2015 to 2016 was the director of missions for the Northwest Louisiana Baptist Association, which includes Caddo and Bossier parishes.

DuBose graduated in 1964 from Satsuma High School in his native Satsuma in Mobile County, [[Alabama]] and attended William Carey University in Hattiesburg, [[Mississippi]].<ref name=facebook>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009641774948|title=Wayne DuBose|publisher=[[Facebook]]|accessdate=November 28, 2017}}</ref> He received his seminary degree in 1971 from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in [[New Orleans]].<ref name=bio/>

He has been the pastor of numerous churches in Alabama, [[Mississippi]], and Louisiana, most extensively from 1980 to 1994 at Summer Grove Baptist Church in Shreveport and from 2001 to 2015 at the First Baptist Church of [[Minden, Louisiana|Minden]], a congregation founded in the 19th century by George Washington Baines, maternal great-grandfather of [[U.S. President]] [[Lyndon B. Johnson]]. He left the Minden pastorate in the summer to 2015 to direct the mission activities of his denomination in northwestern Louisiana. T. Floyd Davis, Jr., who was the chairman of the search committee that selected DuBose, said that the clergyman has "a deep love for our Lord, wisdom, a wide breadth of experience, a heart for missions, and a genuine love for people."<ref name=bio>{{cite web|url=http://baptistmessage.com/northwest-baptist-association-calls-wayne-dubose-as-dom/|title=Northwest Baptist Association calls Wayne DuBose as DOM|publisher=''The Baptist Message''|location=[[Alexandria, Louisiana]]|date=March 28, 2015|accessdate=November 28, 2017}}</ref>

DuBose is now semi-retired as a small-church consultant for the Louisiana Baptist Convention.<ref name=facebook/> After leaving the missions directorship, he completed a stint as interim pastor of the Cook Baptist Church in [[Ruston, Louisiana|Ruston]], Louisiana. Early in 2017, DuBose participated in a prayer gathering at his former Summer Grove Baptist Church. The attendees, including [[U.S. Representative]] James Michael "Mike" Johnson of Louisiana's 4th congressional district, called for a spiritual awakening in the state and nation. DuBose noted that in 2016 some 90,000 Christians worldwide were martyred for their faith, and thousands of others face serious persecution for [[Christain]] beliefs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://baptistmessage.com/shreveport-prayer-gathering-calls-spiritual-awakening-state-nation/|title=Shreveport prayer gathering calls for spiritual awakening|publisher=''The Baptist Message''|date=February 1, 2017|author=Brian Blackwell|accessdate=November 28, 2017}}</ref>
