I’ll also add: Some ministers don’t want big congregations; some are content with the few hundred members they have, which allows for them to really get to know their members. Many preachers lose sight of that, and it’s not their fault. Ministry is commercialized: Who has the largest congregation. The bigger the congregation, the more tithes & offerings. Prosperity gospel has its place & I support that, but a minister can’t claim a successful ministry if their home is in disarray.
