In May, Pastor Rob Bailey of South Lake Church had the joy of commissioning a passionate team of newly trained evangelists who completed the Texas District Evangelist Training Series. Each of these individuals brings a unique gift and heart for sharing the Gospel, reflecting the diverse ways God is moving through His people in the community and beyond.

Andre Wrenchon stands as South Lake’s neighborhood champion in League City. With a heart that beats for his community, Andre brings the church to the street—connecting face-to-face with neighbors and leading small group gatherings right in the heart of his block. His ministry is personal, grounded in relationship, and deeply rooted in place.

Mark Bernstein shepherds from a digital pulpit, guiding multiple Zoom Bible studies that stretch across the country. Known as the “Zoom Bible study wizard,” Mark creates meaningful community through the screen, helping participants take real faith steps regardless of the miles between them.

Amber Perryford is a devotional dynamo, bringing the light of Christ into local schools. Teaming up with another leader currently in training, Amber leads pre-school-day devotionals for teachers, offering prayer and encouragement before the bell rings. Her frontline ministry brings the Gospel into the very spaces where the next generation is being formed.

Jim Simpson is the marketing maestro who works behind the scenes, keeping his eyes on the cultural horizon. With a gift for spotting trends and thinking creatively, Jim strategizes how to extend South Lake’s message beyond its walls, crafting new ways to invite people into community and faith.

Jim Arbit is the steady presence—the jack-of-all-trades whose faithfulness holds things together. He serves wherever he’s needed, quietly supporting events and ministry moments and making sure everything runs smoothly even when he’s not in the spotlight.

Together, this commissioned group represents the vibrant, multifaceted mission of the Texas District—each member uniquely gifted, each voice essential in carrying the Good News to their communities and beyond.
